Aloha! Introducing Myself

in introduceyourself •  8 years ago 

Aloha Steemians!
My name is Gordon Uyehara. I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. I am a metal clay artist.

I wrote a book about metal clay called, “Metal Clay Fusion”. It is now out of print but you can probably find a discounted copy easily. Here is a bronze and copper small-scale sculpture I created out of metal clay called Orthoceras:

I find nature fascinating. I like playing with and talking to animals. I take amateur photos of the little beasties around my house like this Red-crested cardinal:

I am the caretaker for my mother who suffers from Parkinson’s tremors and other age-related ailments. My other interests are practicing guitar, writing, maintaining my house and Miata, non-religious spirituality, cooking, and sharing my funny, serious, or snarky thoughts on Facebook and Twitter. I look forward to learning more about Steemit and its colorful inhabitants ;-)

Hi Gordon Uyehara,
I was wondering what does Aloha mean? And I am also a guitar enthusiast, and love singing as well. But I think you won't understand my Hindi songs.
Also heard for the first time about the metal clay artist thing. And nice photographs. Wishing good health to your mother, and good luck to you.

thanks and regards!

Hi @sanjay91422,
Aloha is one of those words with multiple meanings; ex. hello, love, goodbye, etc. but it is always positive. Literal translation can be challenging but music is also sound feelings. Mahalo for your kind and thoughtful comments :)

Mahalo, same to you! Okay!

Nice to meet you. I like your writing so far. I look forward to reading more. Particularly about Hawaii. Your red crested cardinal and hanauma bay article bring back memories. I sure could use a Hawaiian style cheeseburger right now.

Aloha John, thanks! The cheeseburgers I remember had soft buns and this greenish mayo-mustard sauce that was really good. That and crinkle-cut french fries, lol!

And I think some had egg salad on them. There was a drive in called byrons by the airport I used to like.

Whoa. Yeah, they closed not too long ago unfortunately. All the old timers going away.

Mahalo! I will check out your posts and perhaps need a translator :) Aloha, G

The intro is ok … now if you really want to kick it in you must focus and doing what you like and writing done from your heart ….. also if you like blogging and embracing the challenge of getting people interested in your most important issues. So best of good luck.
Nevertheless check my last one and let me know through comments about it …...
