Music To Chill Out To
I have been working on these immersive playlists for Koa House and my lomi lomi sessions. They are sort of these cross genre aural journeys that combine Hawaiian chant, slack key, instrumental guitar, shoegaze, ambient, nature sounds, binaural recordings and more. It came out of sessions I’ve had with clients where I noticed music and sound could either help me or the client settle into a deeper…

An assemblage of aha moments
I feel compelled to write/share. Possibly it’s being stuck at home. Possibly it’s that the baby is now old enough where I have time to have aha moments. Each time I write it feels as though sneaking a message under the nose of my captors. We don’t have long.
Because of that, I’m just going to fire off these aha moments in the hopes that maybe they are useful or interesting to others and at…

You Wanna Hit this Albacore Kush? We Take on “SMOKED TUNA”. Grab this Dime Sack of Tuna, and Lets get BLAZED!
https://chebahut.com/
Denver, CO.
Cheba Hut is a small sandwich chain, specializing in toasted subs. This place. THIS MF’ing PLACE! Lemme tell you. From the minute you walk in, you are immediately transported into a hippy-den of (NSFW) MARIJUANA. Now, we do not condone drug use here on the HardCore Albacore ship. BUT, today friends, we GET HIGH AF.
Cheba Hut uses all the lingo for these toasty subs: “The Chronic”, “Panama Red”, blah, blah. But, the real question is, are you real? Or are you a NARC! You see, although this now ruggedly, handsome, chiseled, suave, and well-kept sea captain before you is the farthest thing from “street”. I did serve my time on the hard seas of what we called Skip Jack Row. Before being gentrified, Skip Jack Row is where everyone went to get the good stuff. And by good stuff, I mean Pure Un-cut China White. Albacore. This stuff was so good, that when you smoked it, the albacore would actually appear and and transport you into a magical sea of fluorescent pleasure (MSOFP). I was smoking so much albacore back then, that I ended up totally broke, always chasing the next can.
SO, Cheba Hut. I THINK I know a little something about Tuna Kush! Which is why I rate you a 2.5.
(actual footage of my then girlfriend, tripping)
First, TOASTED. I get it, you gotta use the “lingo”, but you are treading into the Tuna Melt category, which I cannot just get down with. Second, you used SKIP JACK! NOT PURE UN-CUT CHINA WHITE. ALBACOR (PUCCWA)
Bread 4: Best part of the sandwich! This was really good stuff. Thick, soft in the middle, but a bit of crunch on the outside. This is what saved this BLUNT.
Tuna Mix 2: I. JUST. CANT! WTF is up with the skip jack everywhere? I cant even talk about this anymore.
Ambience 4: OKAY, it was kinda fun! AND, they have a BAR : ) The bar picked this rating up quite a bit.
OVERALL SCORE: 3.0
This is your brain. This is your brain on TUNA. Any questions?

martial arts rant pt 2
martial arts rant pt 2
By the way, one of the most profound things said to me in recent years was by this artist we had the chance of meeting a few years back when picking up a painting.
He was finishing his degree and going back to school in his forties. He was reflecting on the students in the class, who when posed a question had an insatiable desire to answer the question. And to be right. When really the professors…

martial arts rant
I love exploring martial arts. Love doing it, seeing it, learning about it, reading about it, etc. and then every so often I read comments that make my blood boil. About the utility of Move X or Style Y, etc. I hate it. It takes all the fun out of it for me. I realize that this is just some folks way of processing and I know I’m not exempt. I just wonder if we can take a second to turn off the…

Someone actually tried my workout out and gave me feedback!!

So, obviously, I’m excited about that because she gave really great feedback too. Here’s the revised Kung Fu Boot Camp Workout with these modifications in mind.

Maybe I Said Too Much!
Maybe I Said Too Much!
So, in my last post, I was just having some fun and thinking, “oh hey, you could do a little 10 minute tiger-inspired internal practice too”, so I made one up. It’s towards the bottom of the post. Then, I was musing that I feel like you could practice this after a hard workout, now I’m having this internal debate. Oh wow, bad pun…
Okay, so first of all, I suppose I should clarify that by…

I’ve been my own Guinea pig lately with some of the martial arts based classes I’ve been constructing. So far it’s been going well and I have a rough template for each one I want to present to beginner audiences with broad experience with fitness and perhaps limited exposure to martial arts.
The program I tried the other day was for a Kung Fu Boot Camp. The class is designed as a cardio workout…

teaching moment pt 2
So using my martial arts background, I’ve come up with 4 classes I can teach to absolute beginners in a corporate/one-off “let’s just have fun, do something new and healthy” kind of setting. I tested out 2 of the 4 classes on myself this week —breathing/meditation/qi gong and stretching/yoga— and feel confident about my ability to teach them. I also modified my usual beginning tai chi class and…

teaching moments
I taught tai chi to a corporate group the other day and it went really well. People were smiling. I felt great. I think they did too. Such a change from the last couple of times I’ve taught classes and it made me thing, “hey, maybe I’m getting better at this!”
I have to credit teachers I’ve had recently who’ve either displayed or given me feedback when it comes to teaching. I thought about it…

DIY
A while back I had started getting into homemade beauty products. After my husband and I returned from a month long lomi lomi immersion at Ho’omana Spa Maui, I became more aware and more enthusiastic about using organic and natural products. Overall, just trying to keep it simple and reflective of what’s in nature. One of the courses we took while on Maui was on ancient Hawaiian plant medicine.…

i see you have taken the form of the rabbits outside
and the cormorant outside also seems familiar
a goose held my gave a little longer than was comfortable the other day
a deer walked on my path
a hawk swooped in front of our car
i hear the tapping of a woodpecker outside and i knew
a school of fish in the local pond seems to be quite charmed when i look overhead

the biting air spews from my mouth like lava
no one look at me i will look at no one
i cast my eyes askew down not meeting another
it would prove to be fatal
the onlooker sees a glimpse of me in the shadows
they depart
they shrink
i walk through
i will not stop
even the hotness inside can’t be bottled up
raging to the surface
and they run for cover
they are afraid
of my words
and when my eyes are…

opposite would be exstal, which has to do more with questioning your existential position
enfix
when you try to fix or adjust something but it’s not quite done
to be half-finished
also when you join together a two parts that don’t go together according to the directions but somehow it worked…

soft new hands
eyes that dance and fix their gaze
i’m not sure what to call you
what do i have to give you?
will you enjoy the things i do or find them embarrassing?
you have a waddle-kind-of run
it’s like the ducks you enjoy pointing at
i’m not sure if i’m too much of a nit-picker
perhaps that makes me not ready
perhaps it’s why you aren’t here
i am doing a series of challenges to show you though
