What would you like your epitaph to be?
"I told you i was sick."
Hilarious!

gawd those were hard...
They were, yah? I like them. I hope the fact that immediate answers might not leap to mind won't keep others from giving them a try! Thanks for responding. I love reading others' answers to these things.

1. What would be a good title for your autobiography?

Man..I really don't have a life story worth telling. Unless one wants to read about a farmboy from Hawai'i who left Hawai'i for the mainland for reasons which at the time seemed valid, but in hindsight, I now realize were reasons that time would ultimately take care of, my life has been..well..just plain plain. How much can one say about being a farmboy? Who's really going to want to read that? How about "Watching the Forage Grow in Ka'u"?

2. What would be a good theme song for whenever you appear onscreen in the movie about your life?

"Charoits of Fire" theme song. Having run 15 marathons in my life, and over 50,000+ miles, it seems fitting. And trite.

3. What would you like your epitaph to be?

I really don't have any quick comments I want to be remembered by. If I had to pick one, I'm thinking something along the lines of "Buy fresh...buy Hawai'i produce". Not sure where my epitaph will go though...I'm returning to the land from which I was born when my time is up..sprinkle my ashes in Ka'u..maybe in a place like the Punalu'u Black Sand Beach area, please. Or better yet...a Ka'u orange grove, if there are any left by the time I check out!

4. What everyday object would be a good amulet for you?

A Standing Liberty Quarter, of which millions were produced by the US Mint from 1916-1930.

5. What animal would be a good spirit guide for you, like in Clan of the Cave Bear?

A cat. Cats are the only "animals" I have any kind of relationship with. Myself and all cats are on the same page and same wavelength. I cannot (or have not learned to) communicate with any other creature. Cats are the only 4 legged beings I trust; sparrows and koleas are the only birds confide in.

He’s gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where’d ya get that lotion?
I’ve been hurting since I’ve bought the gimmick
About something called love
Yeah, something called love.
Well, that’s like hypnotizing chickens.

Well, I’m just a modern guy
Of course, I’ve had it in the ear before.
I have a lust for life
’cause of a lust for life.'
Yeah, I’m through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
With liquor and drugs.
