Our Blogs

WWW (the World Wide Web) was installed in 1989 and since then the business world has regarded the Web site as the cure all and to be used as Social Media. Many to this day remain as beautiful monuments to those that designed them. And they have evolved into that flash of jewelry that marks your success in business.

"There is always some reason to be positive. Don't let negative things
stop you from seeing all the good around you."

They have done an excellent job, however their only defect then and now, is the frequency or non frequency of the updates. They are in effect, digital versions of Newsletters, weekly, monthly and even quarterly. You may be just beating your gums but that is not point. The point is to have a Web site to show to your loving public.

Then along came the Web blog in the nineties,

A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog) was a discussion or informational site first published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first).

Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single, usually well known individual. Occasionally, there were small groups, and often covered a single subject. More recently, commercial "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited.

However our intentions, since we have no income, are to have individuals running their own blogs within the main blog and lending synergism to the reader/dancers available. I have nine blogs and four have established a permanency about them in the 30 - 40 average hits per day. The other five are still up for grabs below the 20s.

At the moment Town Dancer is the only one with Guest Authors. They have over double hits of the best of the rest and each guest author is definitely different. Our reader/dancers are not in need of clones, so we hope and accept that each new one will be different from the rest.

Slowly

Starting from Makaha we have a dedicated group, Zion Ipuka, of mostly young people that come to Nanakuli every Tuesday evening from 5 to 6 pm. They invite anyone who wishes to partake in their  party food to do so. I try to help with whatever.

"If we focus on change, we may never get results,

but if we focus on results, we may get Change."

Then there was the founding of Mākaha Studios which was a result of the success of Searider Productions, the acclaimed integrated journalism and multimedia program at Waiʻanae High School. Many of the present employees have roots in SP, went on to college, gained professional work experience, and returned home to practice their craft. They are a big help to the community.

New Makaha Beach Club. Dance floor could be a little larger?

Dream on, Dancers.

I had them on my Twitter, then I tried to contact them by phone to see if I could help them, but they never returned my call. I figure they must be too busy for help from me, so I cut off all contact. I am busy too and I must be on my way. Perhaps, next year.

Searider Productions is going strong and everybody on the Waianae Coast knows about them. They are on a couple of my Twitter accounts. And Waianae Mall on Facebook is doing just fine and most people will read their posts. Good information about the community. Perhaps I can make a connection later, they will all use this blog to convey information. We will be Social Media.

Western Stories, the monthly publication is also doing their good work disseminating good neighborhood information for the good of everyone. I tried the same thing as with Makaha Studios with the same results. Perhaps next year.

Apparently upper Waianae is doing just fine and there is only one thing lacking, the Industrial Park. Farrington Highway is still much too crowded in the morning going to Honolulu. And it is much too crowded coming home in the afternoon. They have a beautiful saying in Waianae on getting a job in Waianae, "I coulda been home in 20 minutes." The Ivory Towers in Honolulu do not have a clue.

Just Floating.

But I accept as long as it is not sinking. There are just flickers of information, nothing solid from Enchanted Lake, Kokohead and of course, Waimanalo. The other classier ones may prefer to keep it more private and I must respect. I will help wherever I can.

"Mean people don't really bother us. Mean people who disguise themselves

as nice people can sure bother the hell out of us."

Waimanalo Beach. Ha! It may not only be immoral but also illegal.

"Always True To You, In My Fashion" by Julie London 

 
I am concentrating now on Platinum Horseshoe first, because it is entirely in my kuleana and there are so many new possibilities. And Town Dancer has been leading for so long, that we took it for granted. It has been going down in average hits per day. I have pushed them up one notch in my controls, but I am not going to tell anyone what they want. These two blogs will evolve the most effective methods when we get the Two Centers, the Guest Authors and naturally the reader/dancers.

The reader/dancers know more or less what they want and they will communicate. It will just be slow coming but we will have Social Media. Two Center, Guest Author - welcome with open doors.

Still Sliding

I am not absolutely sure but I can suspect why the slide in hits for this blog keeps going down. However the total over all hits on the blogs are going up, slowly but surely. I will be more sure when we get more Two Centers or a permanent guest author for any blog of their choosing. The results will be clear, for everyone to see. Platinum Horseshoe has been moving because of Willy Dionisio, Kapolei Chapter HBDA and Maile Yagi, Wahiawa Ballroom Dance Club. There is no doubt in my mind.

From Victor Luna on Facebook: On Brother's Day

A real man is the kind of man that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says "Oh Crap, he's up!" - Brother, life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don't just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it.

Take a few minutes to think before you act when you're mad . Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy . He just promised it would be worth it. Today is Brother's day, send this to all your brothers, fathers, sons. If you get back 7, you are loved. Happy brothers Day! I LOVE YA BROTHER!!! To the cool men that have touched my life. Here's to you!! A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you. Send to all your Brothers because the fake ones won't send it.... Bro!!!

For all our reader/dancers: Keep getting your exercise in a fun way and increase your coordination and balance. Express yourself artistically (the fancy ones) and meet new people and socialize (excellent for singles.) Introduce social manners to the younger and you can gain confidence in the social dance setting.

So when it comes to the dance clubs, I thought everyone knew which ones are the top five on Oahu. I myself am not so sure. But now that 803 Dance Magic coming on so strong they are considered in the top five now. So which one is out? I don't know much about these things so I have to wait until we get a good Two Center or a Guest Author. They can let us know.

Chugging Along

We are not getting much news from this sector and of course, we know it is going to pot in a hand basket because of the Rail Disaster. So first thing I did was to extend it to the outskirts of Kalihi so that I could include the following.

As I said before, - "I never repeat myself.” :-)

Meanwhile we are missing a lot of action from Kalihi to the Stadium, much of it may not be destroyed by the Rail Catastrophe. If the other dance clubs are not moving, this is a good and ready place to start a new Dance Club. As per usual the biggest problem is finding a place to dance. Many old timers in the Ivory Towers still think of Dance Halls as a rowdy environment.

Social Dance as it is commonly being developed in the Malls, Cafeterias, District Parks and Community Centers along with many in the Night Clubs is emerging as a very clean and decent activity for adults to play. But our legislators do not have a clue.

"Dance on" by Anita Bryant

So what is lacking is us, including me. I do not believe we have too many blogs for these islands at this point but none of us know for sure yet. I think we are about there and ready to be filled in by Two Centers and Guest Authors. "Social Media" will set in and the time will come for their independence for all of them. Someone will do it and they can all count on me for help. This coming year will tell the tale.

At any rate, I had been treating them all alike, and that treatment has resulted in the blogs being in natural groups but a few points apart which of course reaffirms my theories. I must continually make decisions of which ones to push. The hits on the blogs will lead the way and tell me.

Stop the Industrial Parks

Another example is Makaha doing business with Mokuleia. It is less than ten miles as the crow flies, but it just cannot be done. It now takes eighteen hours to get there on the available roadways. (so I exaggerate.) And yes, the difficult but short road from Makaha to Mokuleia could have been built years ago. This could have been for the benefit of all the residents on the Island but not downtown Honolulu. They want the commissions on everything.

"If you are going through hell, don't stop, keep going,

you'll come out of it."

Everyone in Hawaii including the tourist would really have a truly "round the island trip." But of course that requires buses and the Present Rail Party is not interested in buses. Additional benefits for the residents would be the easy commercial exchanges available between the Waianae Coast and the North Shore. But the Present Rail Party is going to put a stop to that nonsense.

The beautiful Pearl City Business Park. Hundreds of cars missing from

the freeway and streets. How long does it take the residents to

get home and spend a little time with their families?

There are signs of cocktail lounges developing along the Waianae Coast and perhaps even a night club with a little social dancing. Some places are staying open until ten or eleven. If they are able to get an Industrial Park, people will be more interested in a night life. Third City?

The beautiful Waipio Business Center. The residents that work there
worship the ground. No long hassles on the freeways, or traffic jams

in town and they remember to go to church every Sunday to thank God.

Many people are very much aware that if they had just few industrial parks on the West Coast, they "coulda been home in twenty minutes." And none of the long, drawn out, slow drives that take hours to and from the city every day down the only highway available. But the people making those decisions live and work in the Ivory Towers of Honolulu. Our representatives from the West don't have a chance. And it's the money, Sonny and the cost estimates on the Rail Disaster keep going higher every day, naturally. Your next year's property Tax. Wow!
