Its the Final Countdown! (Insert Rocky 4 Clip)

10 days...ah ah ah (count dracula will be the theme for the last 10 days).
Well, a lot has come and gone, namely Dan and time since the last time I blogged. My brother Rob has made me aware of this via facebook. The first night Dan was here, we went to Jimmy Dee's on the beach for some fire dancing and to show Dan a little Island life. The rest of the time Dan was here, it was a lot of R & R. Although we went for a couple hikes to the caves we were in before and then to Mt. Lam Lam. Brenda, Dan and I had a great time going to these places (I was the only one at both before, so I was with a couple of newbies). Another Day we went to Jeffs Pirate Cove and made a nice day out of it learning how to make fish out of palm tree leaves and hanging out with our buddy Teke again. We also went to Two Lovers Point, the short story about the name is that it was an arranged marriage gone bad because the girl wanted a local Chammorro boy and that just couldnt happen...so....they went to the top of this cliff (TLP) and took the leap. Story over, sad...yes...true...yes. Another venture we went on was to visit all the main beaches that Japan stormed, followed up by the US some years later. You'll have to look at all the pics that are being put up.
Today, Brenda went and got her hair done and my little blonde is back! Just a little other note, I'm on a diet the last ten days (strict) so that I'm not a fatty upon our return. After all, with a nice tan, you want to look good, right??? and not like buddah. Well, off for my second run of the day...see, it is a strict workout and diet plan...AND No Drinks.

Something else funny...This Sunday 4/20/08 one of Brenda's co-workers is holding a Kareoke party for us. Could be fun...right????? Well, this co-worker is SDA, which is a religion that doesn't believe in drinking at all. So on Saturday night (CST) I would like everyone to think about Brenda and I singing soberly at a party full of Fillipinos that will most likely make fun of us "howlies" (hawaiian for mainlanders) in their language. Man its going to suck actually hearing how bad we are. I mean, in a bar, you dont have to hear yourself, but in a house....I'll try to take video so everyone can get a good laugh. I'm touching up in the shower on my Elvis, hopefully they have that on the playlist!!
Alright, enough rambling...Miss everyone and see you soon.

That pictures doesn't even look like you, Brenda. Your hair looks darker, too. Joe, do you bath regularly over there or do you guys just say, 'what the heck - we're in Guam...let's go native'?
