THE ALOHA STATE. DA KINE SUMMER KICK OFF TOUR. IM TAKING OVER THE WORLD.

Image

First time I came to the beautiful Aloha State I told myself I need to come here once a year because of how much I fell in love with the islands. In a couple of weeks I can’t wait to step foot on the sugar powdered sand of Lanikai to just lay out and enjoy the 2 deserted islands from a distance.

I’m a very outdoorsy person and i’m a big fan of hikes. I’ve heard so much about the Manoa Waterfall hike because of the clear blue waters just falling from the mountain top, and maybe even take a dive in the clear cool waters taking in the island nature.

I’m not the best surfer but I have to step on the SURFBOARD, and ride the waves in North Shore and try to hang loose with the best of the best around the world. Even if its on a paddle board, but i don’t think you’d want to paddle board the high waves pipeline unless you’re a pro at it.

My mother and sister had a passion for hula dancing, so growing up I would follow the Hawaiian culture and I fell in love with the story behind the art and just the culture itself. It felt like this state is in a country of its own.

I have to check the Luaus whenever I go to Hawaii because of the food and entertainment.

Theres so much to list and do in such little time, but in a couple of weeks i’ll be in DA KINE KICKIN OFF MY SUMMER TOUR 2014. ALOHA!

IN FAIR VERONA WHERE WE LAY OUR SCENE…

WHAT LADY IS THAT..

.….Which doth enrich the hand….

…WHICH DOTH ENRICH THE HAND…

Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright…

OH, SHE DOTH TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN BRIGHT…

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night.

IT SEEMS SHE HANGS UPON THE CHEEK OF NIGHT.

Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear…

LIKE A RICH JEWEL IN AN ETHIOPE’S EAR…

IMG_4246

BEAUTY TOO RICH FOR USE, FOR EARTH TOO DEAR. SO SHOWS A SNOWY DOVE TROPPING WITH CROWS AS YONDER LADY O’ER HER FELLOWS SHOWS…

HAVE NOT SAINTS LIPS, AND HOLY PALMERS TOO?

AY PILGRIM, LIPS THAT THEY MUST USE IN PRAYER. 

IMG_4630

O, THEN DEAR SAINT, LET LIPS DO WHAT HANDS DO. THEY PRAY; GRANT THOU; LEST FAITH TURN TO DESPAIR

IMG_4490

EYES, LOOK YOUR LAST! ARMS, TAKE YOUR LAST EMBRACE! AND, LIPS, OH YOU THE DOORS OF BREATH, SEAL WITH A RIGHTEOUS KISS

IMG_4523

HERE COMES THE LADY. OH, SO LIGHT A FOOT WILL NE’ER WEAR OUT THE EVERLASTING FLINT. A LOVER MAY BESTRIDE THE GOSSAMERS THAT IDLES IN THE WANTON SUMMER AIR, AND YET NOT FALL. SO LIGHT IS VANITY. 

IMG_4586

IT WAS THE LARK, THE HEARLD OF THE MORN, NO NIGHTINGALE. LOOK, LOVE, WHAT ENVIOUS STREAKS. DO LACE THE SEVERING CLOUDS IN YONDER EAST. NIGHT’S CANDLES ARE BURNT OUT, AND JOCUND DAY. STANDS TIPTOE ON THE MISTY MOUNTAIN TOPS. 

IMG_4762

IS LOVE A TENDER THING? IT IS TOO ROUGH, TOO RUDE, TOO BOISTEROUS, AND IT PRICKS LIKE THORN. 

IMG_4723

BUT, SOFT! WHAT LIGHT THROUGH YONDER WINDOW BREAKS? IT IS THE EAST, AND JULIET IS THE SUN.

IMG_4675

O BLESSÈD, BLESSÈD NIGHT! I AM AFEARD, BEING IN NIGHT, ALL THIS IS BUT A DREAM, TOO FLATTERING SWEET TO BE SUBSTANTIAL. 

“Parting is such sweet sorrow”

PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW.
