The kid always says I remind her of Jim Hopper from Stranger Things, must be our booming voices, but I ran with it. #jimhopper #strangerthings #halloweencostume #halloween #strangerthings3 #hopper #davidharbour

I miss her being this small, but I’m also blown away by the individual she’s becoming. Happy birthday my love

My daughter in 2014 on my 10 year anniversary holding the Special Sterilization Consent form that I signed 16 years ago to acknowledge that I was going to be sterile from all the Chemo. New blog up on my website, check my bio for link. 16 yrs #cancerfree #lymphomasurvivor #bonemarrowtransplant

In 5 days I will be cancer free for 16 years. This is why I wear a mask. Sept 8th 2004 was the day I received my Bone Marrow Transplant and was also told I was officially cancer free. For many years after, Sept 8th was treated as a 2nd birthday. I still do but the parties are much smaller these days. #tbt #tbt🔙📸

Throwback to when I met The Hulk! I was at LAX heading to Hawaii and I just met Billy Baldwin, no lie (Picture included as a bonus). I was walking back to my terminal and then I looked up at a staircase and there he was, like the a prom date in a 80's movie he glided down stairs and I stood there in awe. He walked up to me with a smile and I said. "Mark! I loved you in XX/XY, great movie!". He thanked me and I asked for the pic. Great guy and so many great movies and I'm down with his causes.

#throwbackthursday from when I ran into Craig Robinson aka Matheson... I seent him!... Actually, I was at work so I just pretended he was Darryl Philbin from #theoffice. He was on his way to do an interview with Indie 103.1 and I was trying to go down the elevator. He asked me where the Radio Station was and I told him before I asked for the selfie. Super Cool guy, makes me laugh all the time. #CraigRobinson #DarrylPhilbin

Throwback to when this boy met his prepubescent crush. #tbt🔙📸 #boymeetsworldcast #topanga

You might never know a man’s vulnerable place until you see him with his daughter, because with her, he seems capable of more human emotions than he will ever share with anyone else.

I promised myself I wouldn’t cry, but then I get an automated anniversary message and as Cold Play Sang... “Tears come streaming down your face”

This is a Great Golden Digger Wasp They build tunnels and lay eggs in them. A female will hunt an insect and sting them to paralyze it. Once the insect is immobile, she will place the paralyzed prey aside to inspect a tunnel. If it looks like it's still intact, she will pull the prey down into it. She then lays an egg on the insect, exits the tunnel, and covers it over again. The wasp larvae will feed on the living, paralyzed, insect until they are developed enough to leave the tunnel lair. . Eventually, the parasitism of the paralyzed insect kills it. . . . . . #nature #naturephotography #GreatGoldenDiggerWasp #sphexichneumoneus #wasp #greatgoldendiggerwasp #diggerwasp #insects #entomology #arthropod #wasps #insectsofinstagram #wildlife #insect #ig #insectphotography

Redemption! Got a smiling pic on my license. Special thanks to my daughter who was nearby and reminded me to smile which obviously worked...

Yesterday was pretty hard. We had to say goodbye to our first family dog Lola. We met Lola for the first time in Round Rock, Texas. A family had rescued her from the pound and was fostering her until they could find her a home. We were just looking, but fell in love fast.... She was perfect. I could play with her and she would really get into it. Sometimes it scared me how worked up she would get. Then my daughter would lay on top of her or pull on her ears and she would just lay there and take it like she knew how delicate she was. When we decided to leave Texas on our crazy journey, she came a long of course and was a great travel companion. All she cared about was being with us. She even got to go to another country when we visited Canada. When we first arrived on Molokai, the plan didn’t include moving here. After talking it out we decided to stay and knew getting Lola here was top priority. That was an adventure in itself, I had to carry her through Honolulu Airport because she gained so much weight at Grandama’s house. The past week was rough, she mostly slept and was only awake long enough to eat and use the restroom. I could tell she was tired, I could tell she was weak. We fed her 3 times a day and she continued to lose weight over the past 6 months. When I took her to the vet, the vet said she probably had a rapid moving cancer and that her time was limited, she wasn’t just losing weight, she was wasting. Last Friday afternoon the left side of her face was swollen, we called the vet and they said benedryl would keep her comfortable over the long weekend and that it was probably a good “last” weekend to spend with her. It helped and Lola got lil smokies, bacon, canned food and cheese that weekend, all her favorites. Yesterday morning she was having trouble breathing. I tried to giver her some Benedryl in cheese and she wouldn’t take it. I knew right then and there that if she wasn’t taking cheese, she wasn’t feeling well. I pet her, told her she was a good girl and told her it was ok. I made sure to have as much contact with her as I could up until the moment they injected her and she stopped breathing. We love and miss you Lola

I successfully stayed away from Minecraft for a long time, then suddenly my kid is begging me to play with her. I ignorantly explain to her that Daddy likes more complicated games and that the pixelated boxes really bothered me. Finally after some much needed guilt and shame, I played. Um it was cool and stuff, still not a survival fan, but when I learned about red stone, I said, that’s very interesting. I needed to build something that interested me, first thing that came to my mind was build the clock tower from Back to The Future. Yes it’s already been done, that wasn’t the point the point was to learn in a fun way. 2 days into building I said no way this is how they do it, got to be a better way. Enter commands! OMG, I destroyed my clock towers, yes I built one, destroyed it by sending blocks right through the center of the building while trying to place a 1985 parking lot and then promptly made the same mistakes in a fresh new flat world.... I’m gonna build it, soon... Devastated and bored I took a break, then one day the kid talked me into it playing again and said something that completely pulled me in. Lil John Regalado Fact, I LOVE BUILDING ROLLERCOASTERS AND THEN RIDING THEM... in games, ever since roller coaster tycoon. She showed me a few things and then set me free to experiment, these 2 that I came up with.

“I shouldn’t have taken that. I shouldn’t have taken that.” ~ First words outta my mouth after taking this AR selfie on Wizards unite.

Me: “the answer is a human being, because a human being walks on all fours in early life, on two legs as an adult and with a walking stick in old age.” . . Popoki:

This is my brotha from another Mother Nathaniel. I met Nate within the first few months of arriving on Molokai and he’s always shown me nothing but Aloha. Nate met my wife a few months later and through their conversation we discovered that Nate and I have the same Birthday! Not only the same day, but the same year. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if it was around the same time too. From that day on when ever I see him, I always say “Wassup Birthday Brother” Happy Birthday To Us Nate! Molokai peeps. Sat (05-18) from 12-? Nate and I will be celebrating our day at the Kamani Nut Tree (Mile 19) come join us if you can.

The church where Ben brought Jack and Sun to meet Mrs. Hawking and where the off-island station “The Lamp Post” was hidden. Also several scenes from the final episodes including the chapel that they go into the white light. Sacred Hearts Academy appears to be a catholic school for girls. I walked up towards the offices to see if anyone was there to ask if I could see the chapel. I couldn’t find anybody and didn’t want to push my luck and have the Hawai’i 5-0 called on me. Still managed to get a shot of the statue.

This is the house that Hugo “Hurley” Reyes purchased for his mother with the lottery money from those special numbers he used. 4 8 15 16 23 42 You didn’t expect me to come to Honolulu and not go checkout some LOST filming locations did ya?

The kid broke her wrist last Saturday (a week ago) while she was riding her bike. All things considered the break wasn’t terrible. The doc used the example of trying to snap a twig. The young branches don’t really break, they splinter. Whereas older branches just snap. Her’s was like the splinter. She wanted to go home, sleep it off, but she couldn’t move it without pain. So off to hospital where we went. The doc, without touching it, knew it was broke and gave us all the possible situations, possibly having to set it etc. After viewing the X-ray he determined that nothing needed to be done besides a splint and in 2 or 3 days we would need to get a cast on Oahu. The joy of hearing everything else almost made me miss the Oahu part. Before I was fully able to process it, Sheena spoke up. “Excuse me, Excuse me. I’m not going on that plane” she said, with her finger on her good hand pointing straight up in the air. A few days later, we were off to Oahu. We got an appointment for her to see somebody. The doctor, who could have totally been Ken Jeong’s stunt double, delivered bad news from the get go. They wanted to set it and they wanted to knocked her out with some Jackson Juice... at least that’s what I thought at first, they ended up using the Top Gun tube for general anesthesia. After talking it out with her, my little girl put on her big girl boots and got it done. Happy this is over. My little girl is stronger and I think now so am I because she handled this like a champ compared to me...Back 2 Molokai Sunday

We decided to have one last shebang before heading back to work. We went camping at Hale O Lono Beach and I caught another reason for me to stay out of the ocean. Pretty sure this is a Hawaiian Conger Eel and I’m told they make great sushi. I don’t know about all that, here’s what I do know, there’s bigger ones out there because they can grow up to 10 ft... I’m happy I didn’t catch one of those cause if I did, that foo could have the pole, I’m out. Stay safe swimming in the ocean folks. . .

Bruce, Batman, Thunder, Midnight, Merlin, Cosmo, Vader, Bagheera and a multitude of Hawaiian words for black or darkness were presented to the jury. They were all denied instantly. Then, almost as if I struck gold I yelled, "Gomez!". They both looked at me, Sheena gave a smirk and Trina gave a shrug. I took it as a sign. It was done, Gomez was the newest edition to our family. Gomez was given to us by a friend. When we adopted him, his name was "Harley", because of his audible purr. He was friendly and he was catching critters. He is the purrfect mentor for Popokinator, who I’m happy to report, now eats his catch...unless he gets taxed by Gomez. Fast-Forward two weeks into being proud Gomez owners. I was working on something when I looked up to see my wife standing above me. The kid was peeking behind her trying to listen and be invisible at the same time. T: “Gomez will go by Harry from now on" S: “Like Harry Potter" M: "You guys can call him what ever you like, but I'm already committed to Gomez” At some point, my stubbornness wore off and I’d catch myself calling him Harry. In hindsight, it was no accident though, it was done tactfully by my wife. M: "Where's Gomez?" T: "Who?" M: “The Cat, you know, the black one, where is he I can't find him anywhere" T: "I don't know where Gomez is, but Harry is right here with me" Regaladies 2 - John 0

The idea of getting a cat as a non toxic pest control came from our landlord. My conditions were simple. The cat had to like me and give occasional cuddles. I don’t got time to give you cuddles all day and I’m not gonna pay for food if you ignore me all day while I obviously want your attention...jerk Enter Popoki or as I like to call him: popokes, pokey, pokester, pokeybutt or lil jerk when he’s climbing my leg to see what I’m cooking. My goal was to get a handle on the gecko situation here. I know what you’re thinking, but don’t you dare judge me. You don’t know what it’s like being surrounded by geckos. Guess what, they’ll poop on you, right where you sit while your dreaming of new dreams to conquer. You’ll go to your bed after a long day only to find a lil bird like poop where you just promised your exhausted mind you’d lay. When you look up, the lil voyeur is still there, watching and waiting to see how it would all play out....they’re vile little beasts. We adopted Popokes from our local shelter. He was a lil shy at first and by shy I mean bitey and scratchy. I wanted to take that energy and focus it. I turned my attention to his training. I would tie plastic fishing worms or my daughters toy gecko to fluorocarbon fishing line. That’s how we played and it amused the Neanderthal outta me to out smart him. The pokesmiester did well In real battles with live bugs and geckos, but he didn’t know how to close the deal. He needed a mentor to teach him the ways of the kitty. A bff that could teach him to hunt, kill and eat his prey. More importantly he needed a friend that I would get to name this time. To Be Continued... Fun Factoid: Popoki is the Hawaiian word for cat. How cliche we name our cat that, right? Cliche, just like your attitude bud...

Another day another fat enenue. got my mug and the kids in for scale. Wife is frying it up as I type this up. It fought hard, also caught a fat Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, the Hawaii state fish. Released him as soon as I could. Great day fishing. I ❤️ Hawaii.

Decided to get my pole in the water after work and there was a Hook Up! Enenue is the Hawaiian name for the silver gray rudderfish. I cut into it and the smell was god awful. I’ve cleaned a lot of fish in my life, but this lil stinky bastard almost made me puke. I was born with a hair trigger on my gag reflex. After some googling, the smell is a known fact. Aside from the smell they are said to have a really fresh taste and make a good poke. What’s you favorite fish recipe?

It was really good to see this guys face and play some poker with him again. Hope you guys enjoyed Molokai. Good luck and good journey brotha!

Yesterday I helped make #laulau, my daughter gave her introduction in Hawaiian. #prouddad However, she didn’t practice her #ukulele so I told her to sit up there and play the parts she knew and pretend to play the parts she didn’t with a big smile. #nailedit Proud of my Lil #homeschooler and super thankful my #amazingwife works her butt off with a part time job and then does all these activities with our daughter. I love ya!

Lola decided she didn’t want to walk anymore in the middle of Honolulu Airport, so this happened... my niece and pretty much everybody inside the terminal got a kick out of it... they all pointed and laughed and said “look at that dog”... Time for a doggy diet.

I had every intention of smiling, but a series of events left me with my usual RBF. Still happy to be a resident even tho my face doesn’t look like it. I’ve wanted this since Superbad... I AM MCLOVIN!

I'm dying here, will someone please help find sparky? 🤣

I haven’t seen these since they were outlawed in the 2nd grade!

Sheena was playing in the ocean and this Giant Hawaiian Dragonfly fell from the sky landing right next to her. I did what any good dad would do and I alerted my wife of the situation hoping that would be enough, because as I explained it to her, I just witnessed the ending of the circle of life, this was meant to be. I was wrong and even though Sheena wasn’t fazed by it, I had to go grab this thing out of the water. So we let it dry off and before we leave Trina points to some bushes and says that’s a good spot for it. I said you’re right, put it there. A few seconds later I hear Trina yell and I look up to see the Dragonfly flying towards the ocean until, I assume, it figured it was far enough away that we couldn’t pull it back out and it landed in the water again.

Sheena: are you going to dress up tonight daddy? Me: nah, I’m just gonna go hang out with you. Trina: (Peaks head around the corner and shoots a very halloweeny glare and then slowly pulls out of sight) Me: I can put on some makeup... 5 minutes later, low budget Sid Haig in Devils Rejects

I went to visit Pee Wee Herman, but I don't think he lives here anymore...

I lived in California for 29 years and always said to myself, "Self, one day we're going to see Marty McFly's house from Back to the Future". I lied to myself and moved away. I happened to be passing Pacomia, CA on my way into Los Angeles and made it up to myself.

I was walking towards my favorite fishing spot at Dixie Maru Beach (Kapukahehu) when I found myself just a few feet away from a Hawaiian Monk Seal, an endangered species. It blended so well with the rocks that when I looked up and saw it I said "Oh $**t!", loud. He looked over at me and gave an audible "Oomph!" and then put his head back down to continue his nap. He was at least 6ft. It was an awesome day! #molokai #fishing🎣 #dixiemaru #Neomonachusschauinslandi #hawaiianmonkseal #molokailiving #earlessseal #molokaimobettah

7:58a CST. The Pepsi site starts to breakdown, I'm refreshing the page and all I see is white. Classic server overload syndrome. Empathy kicks in for the poor web guy over at Pepsi, probably has a bunch of Suits in his office...looking over his shoulder...tapping their foot on the floor while he calmly refreshes and hopes the server recovers... 8a CST Pepsi Perfect goes on sale, after about 30 secs of refreshes, I catch a glimpse of the old landing page un-styled. That's when it hit me, all I needed was a glimpse of the new page and then I could view the source code and search for the hyperlink. After what felt like hours of refreshes, I finally catch a glimpse of the new landing page, without a second thought, the web developer skills kick in and my fingers execute the view source command ⌘+Option+U and there it is, MY PRECIOUS... #pepsi #pepsichallenge #pepsiperfect #bttf #bttf2015 #backtothefuture #thefutureisnow

Visited the Austin Zoo on Sheena's Birthday and I ran into a goat with a headtilt that could rival some cholos I've seen. I asked him if he would bite me if I took a selfie and he said "Life's a Risk Carnal". He was going on and on about Chivos Locos Forever, I left before he asked me for my chon chon.

"Don't Blink!" Is one of those phrases you hear from other parents when you make the announcement that you're going to be a parent. I'm here today to send the same warning. I blinked and suddenly 5 years passed and my little girl is not so little anymore. Read to your kid every night, hug them, kiss them, tell them you LOVE them until they get sick of hearing it and cherish all those special moments you have with them. I'll end this post with a small request. For one of Trina's most recent birthdays, I asked several people to send a quick video with a happy birthday message. Sheena loved it! She watched it every night for a few months. I would like to do the same for her. So if you have a minute and you've met Sheena, take your phone/camera and record a quick happy birthday message for her. I'm going to edit them together for her. You can email it to me, Facebook it to me or send it via text, it doesn't matter. It can be a simple "Happy Birthday Sheena" she'll love it! Happy Birthday Sheena. "Joddy" (hybrid John-Daddy) loves you!
