Soooo there is a shop groupie that's kinda on my jock and she's really fucking annoying. I'm trying to pawn her off on one of the other artists. Where's the manwhore piercer when ya need him?!?! ew.
So I was watching my buddy Al do the shading on a giant skull and dagger back piece flanked by swallows. He is so fucking dope!!! His shading and color gradations are just mind blowing! I wanna grow up to be just like him!
My mentor wants me tattooing definitely by this summer. Well fucking WHOOHOO for me!!! That was music to my ears. I'm to be the shop's New Skool Specialist.
Al took a gander at an angel / skater chick I was drawing, referenced from an SG pose, and gave me a compliment. I could feel my noggin swelling. He never looks at anyones sketches, let alone compliments unsolicited!
Some wicca-type punk / emo scary-in-an-arousing-sort-of-way gal moved here from Boston. My mentor was harrassing people outside the shop, as usual, and befriended her as she was passing by to the trolley station. She gives me the creeps, but yet she's cool. I dunno. I get a total Serpent and the Rainbow vibe frome her. I think it was the crazy eye make-up.
My kids are rad. But I need motrin, BAD. ooh- that was almost a jingle!
and now for the song of the day:
================================================================
Her version on the Lilo nd Stitch Island Favorites cd.
THERE'S A PLACE IN HAWAII
THAT IS VERY DEAR TO ME
I AM HOMESICK AS CAN BE
WON'T YOU LISTEN TO MY PLEA?
I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN KEALAKEKUA HAWAII
I WANT TO BE WITH ALL THE KANES AND WAHINES THAT I KNEW LONG AGO
I CAN HEAR OLD GUITARS A-PLAYING
ON THE BEACH AT HO'ONAUNAU
I CAN HEAR THE HAWAIIANS SAYING
"KOMO MAI NO KAUA IKA HALE WELAKAHAO"
IT WON'T BE LONG 'TIL MY SHIP WILL BE SAILING BACK TO KONA
A GRAND OLD PLACE THAT'S ALWAYS FAIR TO SEE.
I'M JUST A LITTLE HAWAIIAN AND A HOMESICK ISLAND BOY,
I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY FISH AND POI,
I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY LITTLE GRASS SHACK IN KEALAKEKUA, HAWAII
WHERE THE HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUAA GOES SWIMMING BY
WHERE THE HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUAA GOES SWIMMING BY
-on a funnny side note:
In 1933, in collaboration with Tommy Harrison and Bill Cogswell, Johnny published 'My Little Grass Shack.' In his biography, a letter from famed humorist J. P. McEvoy is quoted. McEvoy complains that he can make no sense of the words, which he transcribes thus:
I wanta go back to muh lil' grass shack in ka-wally-kawhoo ka-whyyah,
I wanta see with all the bonnies and the weenies that I blew long ago,
I can hear old ka-chewbas swayin' on the beach at Holdem Sow
I can't hear old Hawaiian sayin' 'Hokem my, hokem moo, reek hurray ya-hoolicky wow
It won't be long till my ships will be whaling back to Ramona
A grand old place that's always fair to see
I'm just a little Hawaiian, and a homesick Highland boy
I wanta go back to my Fishin' Foy...'
