Hawaii Yo!

So finally I have enough time and internet to post! I'm at a mall sitting outside a Starbucks stealing their internet. I was actually expecting Hawaii to be extremely overrated, but so far it has been much more than I expected. We're on the island of Kauai (known as the Garden Island) staying at the Kahili Adventist School. Kauai isn't as popular as the surrounding island's so it is less touristed which is really nice, I've been able to go on a hike inland to an idyllic waterfall and go boogie boarding. The waves are amazing for boogie boarding and stuff, it's awesome! I want to be able to take away from Hawaii something more than just a good time though (besides a ukulele), we'll see what goes down. I'll try and post some pictures later. (Don't count on it though)

Alliteration

As I sit here on my bed, thinking of things that I can’t control, I listen to the wind whistle around the corner of the building. I guess I can relate to that wind; I sweep myself through life, sometimes moving quietly and sometimes trying to make as much noise as possible. Maybe it’s for attention, I don’t know, but it always seems to have some hidden meaning behind it. Why am I quiet? Well ‘cause then I have the reputation of being the chill one, someone that others can comfortably be their self around. Then why do I make noise? Because even the chill one needs to make someone laugh once in a while. But just like the breeze, I only touch the surface. I rush by, making a scene only long enough for people to take notice, but not long enough to make an impact. I want to be like a hurricane, or maybe like the wind that blows when it’s cold and wet outside (the kind that goes right through you). But how do I live such a life? Someday I’ll find out.
