Jamba Art

So i got a digital camera for Christmas. Since then i take pictures of whatever I can. One of my major victims have been jamba art. Jamba Art is what we produce when its slow and want to create something amusing and beautiful. I will start with my own pictures than go into stuff i have found elsewhere.

some guys chat room shares this one. i think it would be fun to try
I found this blog "I know Jason goes to Jamba Juice a lot, but apparently his habit has grown to the point that he is funding the 401k's of several of the employees at the Los Altos location. They love him so much they put his photo on the bulletin board. Jason, I think it's time for an intervention."We subject quite a few of our regular customers to this. I have never heard this perspective but i have to say i am amused.


I really wish i knew the story behind this picture.

Aloha

My new favorite word is. . .

When i first came to Hawaii i was under the impression that aloha meant hello, goodbye, and i love you.

Then one day in class a speaker came and she fights for native rights to Mauna Kea and to stop the destruction of the environment on top of the volcano due to the observatories. One of the main things she talked about was having aloha. The question that kept running through my mind was "how do you have hello, or i love you" i tried to rationalize what i already knew about the word to make it work in my head and it just didn't fit. So in college student way i came home and googled it.

Aloha literally translated into English means a breath of life.
Children learn aloha through the "meaning of its letters"

"Akahai", meaning kindness,
to be expressed with tenderness;

"Lokahi", meaning unity,
to be expressed with harmony;

"Oluolu", meaning agreeable,
to be expressed with pleasantness;

"Haahaa", meaning humility,
to be expressed with modesty;

"Ahonui", meaning patience,
to be expressed with perseverance

think i have come to recognize that to have aloha means many things from compassion, affection, empathy, peace, welcoming, mercy and love. I think Aloha is just one of those words that is almost impossible to define or more accurately translate because it has so many definitions.
