 Sorry.but not really.

 I had to post this because it was too funny not to.

Life of a Thrasher

haha somethings familiar. 

Reading is Cool

"Read, learn, work it up, go to the literature. Knowledge is power!" Joan Didion

Last week my little cousin Cord was visiting from Oklahoma. He is 7. He is 7 and sat on my couch perturbed that I was interrupting his reading of Moby Dick. The kid is amazing. I didn't know wether to be embarrassed or inspired. So I chose both. The next day I finished writing my summer book list and started The Impossible Art.

Boy-Frenn

I always seem to like boys on boards.

I could care less about your sweet car or bank account, Just show me some cool tricks you can do and how you shred and Im yours.

(Well for a date at least, but you gotta hold your own after that)

I dont hate it when their hair is almost as long as mine either.

Truly Madly Deeply In Love....

With this...

It's made by the incredible and talented Maxx Dexter. It is the greatest thing I have ever purchased period. I took it out the other day and I have never had that much fun surfing in my life. It is the raddest board that exists. It makes me so happy. Im just gonna hug it and ride it for the rest of my life.

Lately Ive Realized/Decided

How Much I love forts. like pillow and blanket living room forts.

and Just you wait Until I show you the amazing fort my friends Andrew and Hali and I built...

I'll upload those soon.

But what a fun night I had playing with them.

Growing up is overrated.

Dont these look awesome?But dont these just make you wanna build one?

OK great. Now go do it!

This was ours <3

BEST DAY EVER.....

Sometimes you stumble upon something....

totally incredible!

HOW did I not know this existed?

Shopping Heaven

This is how I feel about it.

its coming.

im so excited im dying.

Can't we all just get a longboard....

Super great surf session at castles today. Im super stoked on it. And on the last wave of the day as I was dropping down the face and the water was so clear and I could see a turtle. He dove under and I rode the rest of it. Seriously awe-some. I'll still be so happy about it a week from now. Surfing is my favorite thing probably. I wake up and want to go. I sit in class and wait to go. I rush into work a minute before I'm late because I couldn't stop. I think about surfing A LOT. I designed a longboard in my dream. It was so cute. I want someone to shape it for me. I wanna surf like this...

I'll do a big halloween post later BUT....

right now im just super super stoked about tarp surfing! If you dont know that that is watch this

I "helped out" my friend Devin Today who is making a little motion picture all about tarp surfing and how it is the sweetest way to get barreled without actually being in the water. You take a big blue tarp make it into a wave and skate/shred through it. It was seriously so FUN. I skated for like a good 2.5/3 hours tonight hahah on a tarp!?!. LOVED IT. I'm a big fan. Honestly it can never beat real surfing but it's up there.

SO RAD!

Iconic...

Carly Simon. honestly, for me shes it. she is all kinds of wonderful.

She is in the same category as these two. and I LOVE those two. They define iconic.

I NEED this....

To keep her company

Happy EARTH Day everyone!

Today is the 40th annual Earth Day (a special day meant to raise awareness of our ecosystem and the need to treat it with care)

I am just about to go lay in the sunshine on temple beach and I can't help but feel so grateful for this beautiful world we have. Heavenly Father has blessed us with so many amazing things in this awesome place we live. and Hawaii is seriously the most beautiful picturesque postcard setting to call home. Sometimes the earth like really blows me away.

Seriously how rad is the ocean? And I swear every day I see something that absolutely takes my breath away.

Here are some things that you can do to help the Earth everyday:

♥ Turn off the lights when you leave the room

♥ Turn off the TV when you are finished watching it

♥ Use both sides of your paper at school and home

♥ Help recycle paper, cans, glass, and plastic

♥ Don’t leave the water running while brushing your teeth

♥ If you see litter on the ground or at the beach, toss it in a trash can

For you listening pleasure...

Here is a little sunshine for your ears. I am a big fan of the duo Matt Ward and Zooey Deschanel.

"They occupy an alternate universe where the saddest of songs feel as warm as sun showers; the rain may be coming down, but somewhere nearby, everything looks bright"

simple but wonderfully true....

Some of the most powerful secrets to a happy life, you know those answers that people search their entire life for, are something a kindergartner could have told you. Thats why I love kids so much. The world is so simple in their eyes.

I need to do a BIG update with a lot of new pictures....

After School Activities...

I finally have a pretty good routine down. Everyday after all my classes I go to temple beach and have a little fun in the sun for a couple of hours. Then is usually home/library for homework and then hang out with cute friends at night. There is also usually a trip to foodland, some shave ice, or a taco bell cheesy roll up mixed in there for a nutritious dinner and lots of spontaneous night time adventures.
