Makes you wonder what he did with his $516.32...
What do you do, if I may ask? (39th floor)it;s raining.... pretty heavy.... but on the 39th floor you can;t hear the rain fall
unless it;s actually blowing into the window panes or landing on the lanai....
...all you see is rain falling past the windows on it;s way down to the street... ..
so i am listening to this through my headphones to enhance nature......
.
.. ...how did that happen?....This is my current earworm, so you all have to hear it too.
i do a lot of things.. ..but if you mean things i get paid for.. i teach archery... i;m licensed to bowhunt for invasive species...(mostly wild pigs-goats).... sometimes fill in as barista at an independent coffee shop...... unfortunately none of it pays for this place.... i live with my sister - and she actually owns it... or at least most of it - in partnership/contract with the company she works for... (her office and base of operation is in this same apartment)..... and she works for an international private security/risk management and close protection company.. . ...What do you do, if I may ask?

it was actually a little intimidating when we first moved in here... at least for me... ..it took me a while to get use to being this far above the streets and a long time to become comfortable walking out on the lanai ...(the balcony).... even just walking from the elevators down the corridor to our apartment was intimidating.... the corridor is open to the air one side and it can get windy out there at times.... but i finally got use to that too..... ... ..but the one thing i loved from the beginning .. and still do.. is how cool fresh air blows in from mauka.. .(mountains).... .especially at night..... the buildings built when this one was, were designed to take full advantage of natural breezes... back when air conditioning was rare in hawaii and even considered unnecessary..... .. but the new highrises that have come up all around us since then are not being built that way... . they look like big steel and glass boxes... some of them don;t even have lanais or balcony... and some don;t look like they even have windows that open.... ...
You must truly live in the clouds. I envy you!

Oh. I thought the 39th floor was an office you worked in. That's cool. How's the parking? LOL.i do a lot of things.. ..but if you mean things i get paid for.. i teach archery... i;m licensed to bowhunt for invasive species...(mostly wild pigs-goats).... sometimes fill in as barista at an independent coffee shop...... unfortunately none of it pays for this place.... i live with my sister - and she actually owns it... or at least most of it - in partnership/contract with the company she works for... (her office and base of operation is in this same apartment)..... and she works for an international private security/risk management and close protection company.. . ...
she;s actually pretty high up in management for them now... ..the apartment is a former safe house they decertified but kept possession of... so while it;s located in a luxury highrise the apartment itself is almost like a bunker... ..little bit maze like too.... and it;s a huge place so we have several room mates plus her husband lives here too when he is on island... he is a navy officer and based out of pearl harbor....... ...if you ask him.. (depending on what kind of mood he is in).. he will tell you i;m a freeloader... .. but i was here long before he was.. ...
Same way it usually happens. Heard or read some random phrase, and wound up repeating "Enid we never really knew each other anyways" ad nauseam in my head... ...how did that happen?....[/COLOR]
true.... and it;s a better song than some of the stuff i;ve gotten stuck in my head leately...Same way it usually happens. Heard or read some random phrase, and wound up repeating "Enid we never really knew each other anyways" ad nauseam in my head.
*shrug* At least it was a decent band...
here;s an idea of how ridiculous parking is here... ... we have 4 room mates that my sister charges a modest fee for rent.... it;s not the cheapest rent in the city... but it;s definitely a better deal than they could get anywhere else for a similar size room on a high floor.. and in a secured building.. .... but the people who rent the 2 extra parking spaces she owns pay more for each of those spaces than our room mates pay for rent.... .....but the amount she charges is in line with what other parking spaces rent for in this part of the city and in this building so there is a waiting list of people wanting to rent parking when those are freed up... .... ... and when parking spaces are actually sold in buildings like this they go for astronomical prices.... ..as much as a small house would cost in many parts of the mainland..... .. ...they call it the price of paradise - which kinda bugs me sometimes coz they make it sound like they invented the paradise.. ..rather than just discovered it while sailing around the pacific one day... ...Oh.
