For the lovely peeps that do on occassion glance here at my journal...this entry will be odd to you and prolly fly right out the door! But oh well this is kinda intended for those who know what today is all about...but I thought what the hey while sharing it with those who do understand the signifigance of this entry I might as well share it with my SG peeps too! Plus for your future trip to New Zealand (my roots), Urnes, you too can do the Haka and gain mad brownie points!LOL! But anyways, on with my entry for the day!

Today is the day for me to pay respect to those who have come from the long line of the Whale Rider, Paikia. May all of my love be with you when you receive this link to my page in your emails! To those of you over, and down, in New Zealand and Hawaii, I say Mahalo and Aloha and Kia ora!!!
And with that love I send to you the words of Ka Mate(you know what's up):

The Haka

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
I die! I die! I live! I live!

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
I die! I die! I live! I live!

Tenei te tangata puhuru huru
This is the hairy man

Nana nei i tiki mai
Who fetched the Sun

Whakawhiti te ra
And caused it to shine again

A upa ... ne! ka upa ... ne!
One upward step! Another upward step!

A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
An upward step, another.. the Sun shines!!

Hi !!!
