I took a one week trip to Hawaii this year, August 2010. Being mellowed out from just one week was something I had never really experienced here at home. Everyone here on the mainland is always in a constant state of perpetual motion it seems like. Going without stopping, making money and not having time for others. All these things, are nice I find, really FUCK with my system. I can't just go go go all the time. People here are into themselves and if you break the trend of going and being rude, you get weird stares and people are caught off guard.
When I was over on Oahu for seven days I didn't swear.
Uh....what??
It's hard for me to believe my self. I wasn't pissed off. Motivation to do anything was never lost. And climbing with people, who really did not care about the outcome as a lot of people here do, was amazing. I constantly feel that a lot of people have their own agendas in life. Good for you. Get what you want, but don't screw others in the process or make situations about JUST you. Think of others (something I need to keep in the forefront of my head). When I traveled there, I didn't feel like I was a tourist. I specifically distinguished myself from that. I stayed out of Waikiki (except for two times. Once to check it out, the other time to go back to a beach I had been to before). I went to beaches unpopulated near Ka'ena Point and saw the moon rise on the east side of Ka'ena. No bad experiences, no kooks, and the fastest we ever went was about 65mph (MAYBE).
I sincerely miss it and am saving up to go back again.
