Wow, an actual non-“Where In the Hawaii” post. Amazing right?
So I thought I’d send us into the weekend with an extra hop in our step since many of y’all seem to vibe on the topic of music. How this particular subject (1-Hit Wonders) came about was really quite simple. I was recently updating the playlists on my iPod and kept coming across all these musicians and bands that had a song or two that I really liked but didn’t really want to waste precious hard drive space to house their entire albums to. So finally, I just created a playlist called “1-Hit Wonders” and threw um all in there. I won’t tell ya everything I got in that playlist because I wanna leave that for you guys to come up with in the comment area below, but here are some of my favorites!
Poni Askew (@streetgrindz) and company are back with their 2nd Food Truck Rally this Friday, February 25th @5pm-9pm at 555 South Street in the Kaka`ako area. Following their wildy successful first event in Kapiolani, this second coming will feature almost twice the amount of vendors, space and parking! Oceanic Mobile will even have a booth there, providing FREE WiFi and FREE hand wipes for one and all! Come on down and enjoy the festivities k?
WHAT: “Eat the Street” Kaka`ako – Hawaii’s Food Truck & Street Food Rally WHEN: Friday, February 25th from 5pm-9pm WHERE: 555 South Street WHY: Ono kine grindz of course!
DJ Mr. Nick & TKO will also be there spinning downtempo/acid jazz/etc. See y’all there! 🙂
It’s that time of year again… Das right! Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner. On one side, we got Big Ben, Troy’s hair and the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ D, while on the other side, we have the cheeseheads and the air attack of Aaron Rodgers and company. Who’s your pick this year and why?
Super Bowl XLV
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Green Bay Packers
Me? I want Green Bay! Aside from the one week during the playoffs where he sat out and completely screwed my fantasy team (d’oh!), Rodgers was a beast all year! He seems like a nice guy too! Besides that, I’m not very fond of Roethlisberger. Gooooo Cheeseheads! 😉
P.S. While we’re at it, if there are any MMA fans still out there, who are your favorites for this weekend’s UFC 126?
Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort
Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin
Ryan Bader vs. Jon Jones
Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha
Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos
Chad Mendes vs. Michihiro Omigawa
Norifumi Yamamoto vs. Demetrious Johnson
Donald Cerrone vs. Paul Kelly
Mike Pierce vs. Kenny Robertson
Paul Taylor vs. Gabe Ruediger
Kyle Kingsbury vs. Ricardo Romero
I know, I know, I’ve been pimpin’ this event out for the last month or so, and you’re probably tired of hearing about it, but for those who haven’t heard about it yet (or for those who ignored my last uku million or so notices), I figgah one last push wouldn’t hurt right? Hehe!
Anyway, rather than doing something standard like simply asking you to come and support a brutha and check it out, I thought that giving you the details of the event (with photos!) might be an easier sell. LOL! So without further ado… Here ya go!
12:00pm – Rice Fest (at the Waterfront at Aloha Tower Marketplace) starts, hosted by 102.7 Da Bomb’s Bruddah Bryan

Well, this here is officially the final (work week) day for blogs on the Honolulu Advertiser site. Wow. An end of an era for sure. Although I’m one of the babies of the group, I still definitely feel the impact.
Hopefully, some of y’all will stick around and continue to read and participate as I attempt to move our WWE `Ohana to the new Star-Advertiser site.
Still not exactly sure what’s going to happen, but I guess I’ll find out with the rest of you come Monday. In the meantime, here’s a link to my personal blog just in case.
Sorry peeps. Shmall kine slammed these days with the new gig and err-thing, but I’ll start by posting an image that kuya.d emailed me (probably cause it resembled my awesome art skills from last week Friday). Hehe!
Dude! Did You Gain Some Weight?
Talk to me!
* Let’s stick with the jokes theme and post your favorite cut downs below. If you dare, you can even do “Yo momma” jokes (e.g. “Yo momma’s so fat, people jog around her to get exercise!”) Bahahaha, I still like that one.
* Surprisingly, nobody guessed Wednesday’s location yet, so let’s continue the guessing today. (Hint: it’s in Kailua!)
* Thoughts on American Idol results?
* Gonna miss Simon Cowell?
* Thoughts on Ron Artest’s buzzer beater and the Lakers’ narrow victory.
* Thoughts on the Magic/Celtics game today?
* Looking forward to Sex and the City 2?
* How about Eclipse (Twilight saga)?
* Prince of Persia?
* Rampage or Rashad?
* Weekend plans?
Now before you go thinkin’ this is some kind of typically pervy post, hear me out yo.
So the other morning, I got out of the shower (still not pervy, I promise!) and felt something irritating my eye. So I scoped um out in my mirror and noticed a super lonnnng lash piercing the orbital.
Funny thing is this wasn’t the first time. In fact, my lash(es) tend to get in my eye more often than I care to count. I think I pretty much must have the weakest lashes in the history of all lashes.
So in honor of today’s topic, post your fave (or non fave) body parts in the comment area below. Feel free to list your own parts or from those of the opposite (or same?) sex. Also in honor of today’s topic, I’d like to present my skills to you in this captivating work of art. Go ahead. Take it all in. Bwahahahaha!
Fave Friday – Body Parts
I’ll start:
From My Own Body…
Faves:
still gots a full head of hair (*knock on wood*)
big hands & big feet (which basically only means that I can palm a basketball and wear adult-sized shoes! Ahahaha!)
in relatively good shape for a person approaching *cough* years old
Non-Faves:
weakest lashes ever invented
single persistent/annoying hair that tickles the inside of my left nostril from time to time
can’t grow a mustache or beard to save my life
From the Opposite Sex…
Faves:
I wouldn’t have the faintest idea ’cause I don’t look anymore 8)
Besides I would’ve only looked at the heart and soul anyway! 8) 8) 8) Muhahahaha!
Non-Faves:
a ‘stache, espesh if it was fuller than mine! I’d be j!
wet armpits
being waaaaay too skinny or waaaaay too, um, jolly. 🙂
So wot? Got any to share? Feel free to include bodily functions like being too gassy or b.o…. You know, the good stuff. 😛
So supposedly, some magazine by the name of “Playboy” is jumping on the 3D bandwagon and coming out with a 3D edition of its own some time today. Playboy? I’ve never heard of it. What’s it all about? *grin*
In honor of this magazine I’ve never heard of, I was gonna ask you guys for your fave mags of all time, but we kinda-sorta did that one already. So instead, let’s focus on what every snotty-nosed teenager does what he reads this type of magazine: falls in love. In this case, it’s with Hope Dworaczyk.
Crushes. We’ve all had ’em. Not with Playboy models per se, but growing up with our raging hormones (yeah, I’m talking to you ladies too! 😛 ), we’ve all secretly (or not so secretly) had our eye on that cute girl/guy in our 5th period history class. (Dear lord, I’m dating myself!) Or perhaps we fell in love with that kid actor on the cover of Tiger Beat magazine, or that cool singer on MTV.
Whoevahz!
Just share your list and share your list good with the rest of the WWE `ohana. We promise not to judge… much! 8)
In no particular order, here are some of mine that I can remember, off the top of my head…
* Alicia Silverstone – what ever happened to her anyway? Guess this site answers our questions. * Patricia Ford – I was actually almost signed on to help her do her official web site, but things kinda fell through. That might’ve been fun eh? * Pamela Anderson (NSFW) – at least until she got all crazy. Hehe! * Danica McKellar – “Wonder Years”! I always wanted to be “Kevin”! She’s actually a math nerd now! * Christina Applegate – Dem years on “Married with Children”… ’nuff said! * Girl in my 7th grade math class! – Shhh! LOL! * Girl in my college history class! – too bad she didn’t know I existed! LOL!
I know, lots yeah!? Da worst part is I know I’m missing some. Bahahaha! Nah, not dat bad… I think!
BTW, do you guys know what a “unicorn” is? My co-worker says that a “unicorn” is someone that you’ll always have feelings for, no matter how long it has been. Is it true that we all have that one “unicorn” in life???
Talk to me!
* What are your thoughts of Playboy Magazine going 3D?
* Post your list of crushes (during your teenage years) in the comment area below! Can be celebs or peeps you know IRL.
* What do you think of the “unicorn” theory? Do you have your own unicorn?
Hijack This!
* Surprised that Cleveland lost to Boston yesterday? What do you think of Bron Bron’s future in Cleveland? How do you think Boston stacks up against my boys in blue (Orlando)?
* Thoughts on Michael Lynche’s departure from American Idol? Think he has a future in music?
* Big weekend planned?
Have a happy VH07v Friday (and weekend) y’all! Shooooooots! 🙂
