I'M FEELING SARCASTIC THIS MORNING
...On everything I've been thinking of
these past few busy days....

First off, let me apologize for being out of touch for the past week regarding my blog. I just haven't had much time. I've been rather busy lately with MORNING weddings, traveling to Maui for another wedding, and waking up early for a few more MORNING weddings. As you can tell, I love mornings, and love getting up to see the bright morning sun screaming, "BRUSH YOUR FRIGGEN TEETH STEVE YOU HAVE COUPLES TO MEET!"

Alright, you got me. I hate them waking up. I hate mornings. But with that said, I'll do it because I do anything to make my brides happy.

So what's been on my mind lately? A lot of things. I've been thinking about everything from football to the economy these days. What am I going to blog about? Everything except weddings..hahaha. First, I would like to say how awesome Krispy Kreme is.

My donuts of choice at the Maui Krispy Kreme

Here in the State of Hawaii, we only have one Krispy Kreme, which is located on the unbusy boring island of Maui. Like the island, this Krispy Kreme stays unbusy with no traffic, car or foot whatsoever. I bet they wished they were in Oahu, but they aren't! Yet as unbusy as they are, they still make the best killer donuts in the world, in my complete Krispy Kreme biased opinion.

Here is Krispy Kreme Maui, basking in it's un-busyness

As you may have notice, I'm not a huge fan of Maui. Yeah it's nice, but man, it's so boring there, I get rock fever within a day...haha. If you are a "to-do-something" couple, head over Oahu. We may not have the best donuts, but we have the best everything else.

Nothing much. I feel like showing a few interesting pictures that may interest you.

This is a picture of a kid in India who has had one too many donuts. He is seen as a god there. In America, he as seen as a candidate for a heart attack.

This is probably the most disturbing wedding photo I've taken in my life...and the funniest. I took this last week.

This is how my cat Junior likes to sit down. Yes, like his master...

Next subject:
FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE...and "Obeying..."

Now I am not religious. I really don't believe in organized religion. Sunday mornings are too early for me, and during the fall, football is on in the morning here in Hawaii. A few times, you'll find me in church on Sunday's, but more often, you'll find me in front of the tele. But with that being said, I do not hide from the fact that I am a screwed up sinning Christian, who reads the Bible quite frequently. I read it often because I find a lot of wisdom in it, more so, the meaning of life.

Yes, the meaning of life!

So what is the meaning of life? Well, other than finding everlasting salvation, it's having these three things: faith, hope, and love. The entire bible preaches these three simple words throughout the new and old testament, and when you get married, you'll hear it briefly by your minister. So what exactly do these three things mean...biblically? A lot different than what the dictionary says I'll tell you that.

FAITH - is the belief in something which you cannot see. This can be anything from a God, a dream job, to your unborn child you will one day have.

HOPE - is the decision to follow what you have faith in.

LOVE - is not an emotion, but a commitment of hope and faith combined.

Pull anyone of these things out of your life, and your trust me, your life, your job, will feel and consequently become worthless. For example, you work at a dead end job with no promotion in site, you will lose hope, and love, and will consequently not work harder. Another great example would be marriage. Steve Mcnair, a great quarterback, was unfaithful to his wife, yet he still loved her, and hoped the best for her. But because he was unfaithful, just one of the three things, he invited some of the worse sins in his life. And now, unfortunately, he has to lay in the grave he dug himself. A healthy marriage, a healthy job, a health life, requires these only three things, faith, hope, and love. Remember that. Easier said than done. But now that you know the meaning of life, which you have attained by the lonesome crazy wedding planner, you can use it to your advantage when you run into problems.

WHAT'S WITH THE OBEY STUFF IN WEDDING VOWS.

First off, wedding vows were created by the church. In fact, the entire wedding ceremony was created by the church. There is actually not one mention of a wedding ceremony in the bible whatsoever. No rings to exchange, no vows, no marriage license. God just told man, that once he becomes one with a woman, he and woman would be married. Yes, in biblical terms, sex equals marriage. But you won't get any church admitting to that at all.

So when you hear the word "obey" in wedding vows, that really wasn't biblical because there were no vows in the bible. Also, just as a side-note, I don't put the word "obey" in our wedding vows at all. But what does the word obey mean? Biblically, it doesn't mean slavery....but it means trust. When a dog obeys his master, he trust that his master knows what's good for him. When a person is dangling from a window with two hands, holding on for dear life, and a fire fighter comes to that person and yells "Give me your hand!" He's telling you to obey him, to trust him, to have faith in him, that he will save your life. Obeying your loved one, submitting to your loved one, is a way of trusting your loved one. If you fear that he or she will make a slave out of you, then there is no faith, consequently little hope, and even worse, no commitment which means no love. Not good.

Holy smokes, that was serious. It's way too early in the morning to be that serious. Lets see another funny picture.

I ask, "What would Obama do?" or is that "Who?"

I think this is just a funny picture. Was he really checking out that girls butt? It's not even that great of a butt. And is President Sarkozy checking out Obama's butt? Which also, is not that great of a butt. I'm not gay by the way. Just letting you know. But in a totally non-gay way, and non-racist way, why does Obama have no butt? The guy is black. I mean, I'm Chinese and I have more of a butt than him. And all of my black friends told me this.....that black president, has no butt. Point well made.

Well, that's just my two cents for the day. I promise, I'll blog more about weddings soon. I just didn't feel like writing about weddings today. Too much wedding stuff on my mind for the past few weeks...

Like the Terminator says....I'll be back!
