So recently my work took away access to the internet which totally blows but i've been trying all kinds of things to try and stay awake (i wake up at 4am for work). Okay so one thing i've been doing to pass the time is sketching. While walking through Walmart i saw these kicks for 10 bucks and thought "hey i can draw on that" I took these to work and messed with them for about an hour. Crap! What do do with the next 7 hours!? haha. Just playing. It was fun. First time drawing on shoes and i think they came out pretty 'snazzy'. The picture was taken with my phone at work which also keeps me entertained too :). Enjoy these Cub Kicks.

Falling Slowly Cover
From the coolest movie i saw last year "ONCE". This is me and a friend Lucia Iman in New Mexico back in February. I just noticed that it was on youtube and wanted to share it with you guys. Its a bit ruff but pretty too. We just decided to play it that day so pardon the mistakes. I sing on the choruses and yes i sing like a girl :). Its call falsetto and thats actually the part the guy in the song sings. She sings the verse which the guy usually sings but thats cause she knew them better then me at the time. I hope to do this song with her again. Lucia is an artist on sellaband so if you'd like to chekc out more of her music and become one of her 'believers' check out this link: http://www.sellaband.com/lucia

Happy Fathers Day
My dad is the man! Just yesterday someone came up to me to say hi cause they thought i looked like my dad. Sure enough i do :). When i was little people use to call me Isi all the time. I didn't think it was that cool to be called Isi till i was in high school. I guess i actually slowed my little mind down enough to realize how cool my dad actually was and is. He is a soldier in my mind. A true missionary man. He is always so full of love and focus. If you talk to my dad for more then 10 minuets you will know he has a testimony of god, family, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He rarely gets upset. I guess being the youngest i missed out on all the Tongan style whoopings most others got LOL. Which means i just got the smack to the back of the head more haha. I know my dad loves me. I know he wants the best for me. I know my dad supports me. I know my dad is the man!! I know my dad loves my mom. Watching him and my brothers and the way they treat their spouses has taught me so much about how to be a dad and a husband. My family to put in simple terms is "THE BOMB!" I know thats a term from the 90s but its true. Isi you are the man! Happy fathers day Dad! Ofa Lahi Atu.

KUNG FU PANDA!!
Man this was so much fun to watch. Clean and totally funny! You have to see it. I had to say that i connected with PO on many levels besides the looking like an over weight panda bear hahaha.
You might not be into streaming movies online but i want you to taste this movie cause for me I'd watch this in the theater (which i did), watch it online, then buy the DVD so theres my justification for sharing this with you guys haha. I didn't load this but i found it online and its only a part of the movie so go watch the rest and have a great time.

I HAD TO DO IT!
This is from an older post but i love it and putting it in motion just made it that much funnier to watch haha. Good times :).
AVATAR
I just learnt how to make animated avatars! Been meaning to learn this trick. Real simple too. If you want to make one the easiest place to do so is here.
Dont Quit Your Day Job
I am a part time security guard LOL. So the suckyest part of my day job is that i have to wake up at 4am just to get to work on time. For the most part though i like my job, for now. It's temporary but it keeps money flowing to take care of bills. The coolest part is that in the 9 months that I've worked there they have let me get time off for gigs and not once complained about me being gone which i am really impressed by. Do you know how hard it is to keep a good day job and do music at the same time? It can be pretty tough so i for sure am counting my blessing with this one.
So at work we have about 30 cameras all over the building running 24/7. I get to watch these bad boys (BORING! haha) during my shift and one this day i thought it might be fun to find myself on the play back, take screen shots, and share with you what it a day at work might look like. All these shots are during the first hour of my shift so you wont see anyone around the building. I turn on the lights, make the coffee, and make a round every morning. The making the coffee part still cracks me up. Not super fun or exciting but im pretty stoked to have this as a documentation of one of my many jobs.

Hanahou
So here's a little update on the show and the week i had in Hawaii. I'm still on a high from it and haven't slowed down from wanting more. Here are some clips of things i did in Hawaii. The first clip is me singing "feel the breeze" thats a Jack Johnson style song that i wrote about how things on the island always seem different when you return. Always good but always changing. I also performed Wise Words on the air for him but i will be promoting the one i did with Roxy at www.beachwalks.tv bellow instead.
Doctor Trey is one of Hawaii's top producers and runs a studio out of Kaneohe Hawaii. He also has a pod cast that he'll do from time to time. Always a good time and i listen in as much as i can. Check out the podcast here. I actually met Roxy through Trey and met Trey cause he was one of my "Believers" that helped me fund my album at www.sellaband.com. Always a good time kicking back and shooting or i guess in this cause "feel(ing) the Breeze". Thanks Trey, Bran, and Vern for hanging and letting me play a couple songs.
Vern Brown from 808talk.com filmed me playing two songs in Treys Studio.
FEEL THE BREEZE
This next clip is fun and makes me miss home just watching it. Roxy will usually (like 99.9% of the time) be walking down the beach on a very regular basis and talk to her viewers about different thing going on in her life and in the world. She is very supportive of local musicians and i was lucky enough to hang with her and do another beach walk with Rox :). Check it out. Make sure and listen through my interview cause i sing "wise words" and im happy with the way that came out. My nose sounds a bit stuffed LOL but i like the vibe and some of the runs i randomly throw in. I swear that song is different every time i've done it lately haha. Enjoy.
Wise Words & Interview
This last clip is actually the last song i did at the big BYUH show. It was the Hanahou which in Hawaii means 'encore'. The rest of the show is still being edited so I'll be posting that as soon as i get it. For now this clip from my friend Lindsey will be my teaser. That night was very special for me and very fun. To see so many people come out in support of my music was very validating. By doing that show i will now be putting together another proposal for more shows at the other colleges on the island which i am very excited about that even being a possibility. Other then the footage of the concert i also did a music video which i am waiting on as well. Probably wont be holding my breath but as always will post that when i get it ;). To rap this post up i will say that this was defiantly a highlight of 2008.
