Corporate Crap and Other Dubious Wisdom

Christmas Day we were invited over to a dear friend’s house to enjoy Christmas with her family.  I won’t go into all the details of our Christmas week here because the Bitch beat me to posting this morning… so you’ll have to visit her blog for further details.  I will say though that I love all of Ma’s family… even cranky, hardcore old K@os (I’ve been warned about ruining his rep, so I can’t say nice things about him), whose wife has a voice like an angel, and whose son kept us all entertained with his two year old antics.  I’ve never been around a family with soo much love to share.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a better time with a group of people, rounded out with our newest college graduate Wired,  and buddy MacSamurai.  Eating until we were all too stuffed to move, and then just sitting back and listening, as the evening wore on, to such a wonderfully talented family as they sang karaoke.

Of course Ma wasn’t gonna let me get away without singing along, and I always keep my promises, so…

Once upon a time, I actually sang in a High School band (a good way to pick up chicks), but that was a few decades ago, lol

What can be more embarassing than standing up in front of an entire family of musicians and singers and picking up a microphone to sing along with them… what was I thinking? 

 I finally found my key though.  I sing in the key of shit!!  Luckily they were all supportive, enough of them sang to help drown out my haole non-rhythm, and didn’t throw heavy objects at me.

It was all a good time though, and after all this time we got to meet the beautiful Tech Wench (who is responsible for all of us meeting in the Blogasphere about a year ago) and her husband Kyle.  Unfortunately I didn’t get to Lei her because I wasn’t sure what the pollen would do to her, but let me tell you… listening to her, her Mom, her sister Ui, and K@os’wife "Z" sing, while sitting next to my best girl and sippin pseudo-Appletinis, just can’t be beat

Unfortunately, we were soo busy enjoying ourselves… er listening and drinking mostly, that we didn’t get many good pictures of the occassion.  This one is cut from the video B’Tude took while I was mouthing (croaking) the words, lol  Yes, I do have a cold, and no, it wouldn’t have been better without the cold.

I love you and your family, Ma   Thank all of you for making our Christmas soo special this year.

For everyone who stopped by this year and shared their lives with me, and even those who didn’t, I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas

   May you all enjoy the Peace and Tranquility of a starry night,

        May you all see the Hope of the world on this night,

   May those who were down be Uplifted today,

       May those who are sad see the Light through the grey,

   From this small slice of Heaven… lit with stars from above,

       I send you this message…  from Hawai`i with Love.

           Merry Christmas ! !

   Aloha,

DB

If it walks like a Frog, looks like a Frog, and sings like a Frog… It ain’t old Blue-Eyes.

Just to prove that even an old college student can make a nearly complete ass of themselves, we attended the First Annual philosophy class Xmas celebration.  Somehow I was convinced by unidentified woman (but she knows who she is behind the camera) that I should shove a microphone in my face and make loud croaking noises to the bar at large.  Being the shy person I am, I reluctantly complied.  I heard later that several people were rushed to the Emergency room with bleeding ears, but who am I to judge.

Which all proves that I didn’t choose a career in the music business for a reason… I suck.
