Another day another dollar less.


Did you ever notice that home improvement is expensive. I find that the more Kapono and I spend time at home the greater my urge to spruce this place up. I bought two picture frames at target so they were not so expensive but, that inspired me to look to the other bare walls in our house. I have a running tally going on I haven't spent anything but if I were to unleash moths would fly from my wallet.

In other news, this Thursday June 28th was the longest time that I spent alone with Kapono (imom had a meeting) we did well Kapono's spirits were high. But idad is worn. I don't know how single parents manage. Lucky for me my fortress (marriage) is strong and we work on it daily.

In other other news. I look forward to the arrival of the Greenlake Baha'i conference youth subcomittee to arrive today. We meet this weekend. I also have a meeting for my upcoming video shoot for my first single off the album called "things go in cycles." I also have a photo shoot with the genius Emerick. Busy weekend coming up. Stay posted.

Oh, you're being mom for the summer. NO! idad


I am a stay at home dad. For the summer at least. It's back to school for work and school for school in August. This is a happy summer for me because, I was not able to take any days off when Kapono was born (not many places offer paternity leave). So this is my chance to spend some good time with him.
My son is the happiest baby in the hood. Every morning, smiles and joyful laughter. Kapono, Kappa-ono, pono boy, little bear, oso oso loves the beatbox. He has his favorite sounds and loves it when you tap his body in different places for each different drum sound.
Some other nicknames he has been given in his short time are King Baby, 'Izzat Khan, The baby dictator and tomato face froglegs.
He is well and we (mom and I) are ragged. I have forgotten what the gym looks like and my toes. Time to set some priorities again. I play softball on sundays for practice and Monday games but thats not quite fulfilling my exercise needs. However we did win our game this past monday. Go H-star runnas.
Our summer is stacking up and is full of projects here is a laundry list:
1. Have Fun
2. Deputization campaign leading up to Cd release
3. Move Nation Music Video
4. New 5 song summer EP
5. Prayerbeads and Breakbeats- radio program
6. Greenlake conference - organizing this year
Kapono and I will be busy this summer with these projects and other things like praying everyday, diaper changing, rolling over-eventually crawling, exploring skokie on foot, supporting mom in all her work, visiting friends and family, teaching the faith and sleeping in in the mornings (fingers crossed). Maybe will see you around, oh add blogging to this list so you can atleast keep tabs of all our activities that way.
