I Don't Make These Things Up, Kids!
Merry Christmas Eve or Mele Kalikimaka from Hawaii!
So this Christmas vacation has turned out nothing like I thought it would. First of all, I was actually looking more forward to seeing my family than being in Hawaii. It's been nearly a year and a half since I've seen them all. Well, 30 minutes before leaving for the airport, I learned that they were stranded in Colorado because Denver Int'l Airport was completely shut down due to 2 feet of snow. They were rebooked to arrive the day after Christmas. So I've got 5 days to myself...which I mean, I can't really complain about - I am in Hawaii. I can't say a bad word about surfing and getting tan in paradise. Just wish the fam were here.
Anyway, listen to what just happened today. I'm telling you, I'm not making this stuff up. So the last two nights I've been hearing things from my neighboring hotel room. There is a door connecting our rooms so I can hear a lot from the other room. Two nights ago, about 1 or 2 AM I heard two men come in and talk for about 10 minutes. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but in my over-active half-asleep imagination was thinking drug deal. Definitely can't verify that. Well, last night I heard people come in late again (once again half-asleep). This time a guy and a girl. They started arguing and I heard other noises (not sure, but the overactive imagination says abuse of some kind going on over there). Honestly, I didn't really make too much of it because I really didn't know what was going on. Just thought, "Man you can hear everything through that door. Better be quieter talking to myself." Anyway, tonight I came back to the hotel room and while I was passing that room, noticed there were a ton of police and the hotel manager standing in the hallway. They saw me try to get in my room next door so they questioned me. I told them what I heard and filled out a police report. I asked what was going on and the policeman said there was a dead body in the room! What's the deal? So who knows, my stay in Hawaii may get a little longer if I get involved with a murder case. And you know, I probably shouldn't be blogging about it either.
Well on that note, have a Merry Christmas!

Denver,
Maybe Santa brought you a bullet proof vest for Christmas. The story is almost too crazy to be true... but we believe it could happen to you.
We also expect you to go Papparazi on the LOST cast and the sweet sites of Hawaii so we can see them on your Smugmug. Hope you had a Merry and SAFE Christmas!
Ha, that could only happen to you!
Just forget about the tan and surfing. I think it's time to go snowboarding instead! Haha! Take care dude!

Good grief Denver...excitement just follows you around.
Have fun in Hawaii. I'm way jealous.
Did they ask you if you did it? lol
Denver, you have the craziest life and the best stories because of it. Please don't stop blogging!
That is so hilarious, and it goes perfectly with the bosuzoku-in-The-Hood theme. Have you tried to do any detective work? You know, a little Schow P.I.? You could be like Magnum. Rent a Ferrari and grow a mustache.
Like the Woods, I want to see some photos with our Lost friends. I bet Hurley would do it. Maybe Kate or Charlie. Try to get one with Vincent.
Miss you bro.
Denver...the things you get yourself into! You just need to find the right girl, get married and have a family and live safe, sound, and boring in suburbia!
ohh my word denver
that is crazy and only could happen to you
i hope you got to spend time with the fam
happy new year
Denver, you remember Whit Gatewood? His wife just had a baby boy on the 31st and he's struggling to survive in the NICU. The details are posted at http://seekthefather.blogspot.com/2007/01/big-ben.html
Everyone - I want to inform you I made it back to Japan safely. Unfortunately my stay in Hawaii was not lengthened by the court system.
Cheryl - Thanks for sharing about the Gatewoods. I and many people in Japan will be praying for them.
Denver!!!!!!!!!!! I too saw your post on Whit's blog and looked you up this morning, but since I was running late I had to leave for school and wait to comment when I got home. I just simply couldn't believe my eyes! It is so great to hear from you! I love the blog world and how it allows people to stay in touch. Thank you for your kind words, when I saw your blog I wondered if you would even remember who I was! I feel so honored by your kind words. It appears you have found your way into the teaching field. Update me on what you are up to these days, other than finding dead bodies in Hawaii!!!!
