the joyous vacation of my mother's fraternal relatives is nearly at an end. however, in a few days, the eldest of my grandfather's offspring will be making his appearance here as well. this month has been nothing but family activities in my household. sadly, i haven't spent all of that time with them - work during the day and fatass dinners at night with the church of the morning daughter. i have finally gone to the beach though, and my tan hasn't improved one iota.
hawaii is ridiculous. after running an average of 2 miles a day for four days a week and having nothing but salad for lunch, i have gained 3 pounds. you either maintain your body weight here (by struggling viciously and completely changing all your eating and exercising habits) or you just gain weight. it is physically impossible to lose weight unless you do something extreme like living off of energy drinks and cigarettes - ultimately resulting in unsightly markings in the posterocubital area.
i have spent a good portion of yesterday navigating the roadways of this island in search of material warehouses/construction supplies and delivering them to obscure jobsites. the worst area i've had to deliver materials to - kalihi valley (nihi st.), with the hills the way they are, untethered dogs roaming around, and old whores lingering around the "parking" area, that is probably the most disgusting place by far.
a side benefit of all my getting lost and having to resort to the handy-dandy map in dad's truck is that i have found some of the hotspots on this island that i was looking for (in order to showcase to my friends when they arrive on this island next year). i just need some free time and a good map to get back to portlock again.
everything is growing slowly, but it's better to have some growth than none at all.

Sounds like you have too much gravity down there in Hawaii.
The lack of fruits and additions of Outback Steakhouse and pizza Bagel Bites have brought me back down to -8 lbs.
with the amount of work/exercise you're doing, it could be muscle. that would be awesomeness~
