I'll Die Happy by Louis Jordan

YEAH DADDY

Im a real fast liver
and a trouble giver
Im a whisky taster
and a money waster
And the old folks say I wont live long

But I'll die happy.

Im a good time lover livin' undercover
Im a real low raider and a aggravator
And I know I wont always be strong

But I'll die happy

So, when they plant my body beneath the sod
Please, dont take it so hard
Cuz when Im coppin' that eternal nod
I'll be the happiest cat in the graveyard

Well, Im a loud noise maker and a belly shaker
Im a goofball user and a chick abuser

And I cant live right for living wrong

But I'll die happy

AHHH YEAH DADDY !!

IM GONNA HAVE MY FUN
IM GONNA ENJOY MYSELF, POP !!
WHEN I GO OUT
I AINT GONNA MISS A THING

YES SIR !!

They gave me a bottle of water, and refused payment.

I hadda take their picture.

As I walked away, I heard one say "He must be from the mainland, they take pictures of everything", and they all laffed.

So did I. :)

Mahalo, guys.

Favorite breakfast

When I had no loot, this was my favorite breakfast.

Cheap - and oh so good.

Dating a pilipina chica got me into rice and eggs and sausage for breakfast.

The proprietor makes it special for me:
Rice, eggs scrambled, sausage sliced, butter on rice.

Sublime. And it fills me up all day. All for 3.50.

I got home, I caught up on the news.

I had stopped listening to the news, watching TV, even keeping up with the football scores.

Ugh.

This is where the Minnow set off from in Gilligan's Island

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
the skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
for a three hour tour, a three hour tour...

This birds are ubiquitous, and will crowd you for food if you are eating outdoors.
They hang around all the wating spots, and are smart enough to figure out who will feed them and who wont.

Just as ubiquitous are the zebra doves, mynah birds and feral (all white) pigeons.

Me rockin' the Lava Lava

I saw the Lava Lava - the traditional Samoan clothes wrap and decided I had to have it.

I put it on, and the old guy exclaimed "YOU LOOK LIKE A CHIEF!!".

Heh.

But interestingly as I walked thru the meet, 3 other people said the same thing, including an old Nigerian gguy, who told me all about some of the Nigerian tribal traditions and said I looked like a Nigerian chief.

One of them suggested that maybe I was from one of the pacific islands in a former life.

Heh, I just have the Samoan gut. :)
