today was my first full day in maui and i forgot how good i am at being a tourist.

i love the time difference between here and socal because i can sleep until 10am but i’m really rolling out of bed at 7am. this makes me feel productive and ready to take on the day like a goddamn united states marine.

while i was lying under the hawaiian sun, there was this rather large woman splashing around in cankle-deep water with little white ipod headphones coming out of her ears. i would have failed to notice the headphones had she not been screaming to the person right next to her about the clarity and warmth of the water. this made me smile.

tonight i’m going in search of the locals.
