My Security Guard

For the past ten days michio has been working a new job . he has been a security guard for jacks surf shop, a retail store in huntington beach, right across from the pier . he has been working there because thousands of people are at the beach for the surfing u.s. open . with that many people going in and out of stores, they need security so they don't lose out on thousands of dollars from people stealing! pretty cool !!!

 him and a bunch of his tongan and samoan friends all got to work together . i missed him so much! he left around 10am every morning and wouldn't get home until 10:45 every night . this is his first day back and i am so thankful! but i did enjoy hearing all of the stories he would come home with =] and it turns out . .. girls are just hoes and thieves! and boys like to drink and pee! lol . michio came home with the majority of his stories of people stealing being girls . and that so many young girls dressed in their bikini thongs with words like "call me" written on their stomachs and backs .. . with their phone numbers written as well . so sad .

one of the areas they did security for was the alleyways behind the stores . apparently people (mainly males) like to go back there to drink, smoke, and pee . .. pee? i don't understand how some guys just feel like they can pee anywhere they want to . is it just because they can aim? lol . i'm unsure why . but anyways . .. michio had to tell a handful of people to get out of there, telling some people in the middle of while they are going to the bathroom .

i don't know if michio cares about me sharing this story with you, but i'm going to do it anyways lol . so, on one of his last days working security, he takes a shift working the alleys.  after checking one alley, and coming back around the corner to another alley, he sees two guys peeing . he tells them to get out of there . one guy listens, and the other one doesn't . they are both obviously drunk . so michio says "are you stupid or something?!" the guy gets all bent out of shape and starts cussing at michio and tells him to "f*  off" . at this point the guy is just really starting to get on michio's nerves, so as the guy finishes peeing michio tells him to clean it up . the guy is upset and gets in michio's face . so michio gives him a little shove and knocks him to the ground and says "i told you to clean it up" . at this point the guy knows that he is basically defenseless at my hunk of a husband, and says "what am i supposed to clean it up with?!" (the guy is shirtless) . Then the guy continues to cuss at michio from the ground . conveniently, when michio shoved the guy, he landed near his own urine . so after he cusses at michio again, michio grabs the guys forearms and puts the guys hands in his own pee !!!!!!!!!! and he says "i told you to get out of here!" hahha sucka !!! i thought it was hilarious !!!

from dealing with people stealing and peeing, there were some positives that came out of working security . 1st, his hard work payed off with next months rent . 2nd, he got items for 40% off . 3rd, he got to do body guard security for some people and got to meet them and talk to them! and 4th, michio fulfilled one of his dreams by finally getting on espn !!! lol . kelly slater, a popular pro surfer had an interview with espn at the store michio was doing security for . so michio got to stand near kelly slater and was seen on tv! unfortunately i didn't know he was going to be on tv so i didn't get to see it.

this is a photo of michio doing security for kelly slater
 (although kelly slater is not in the photo lol)


he also did security for warren g (rapper) who was doing a signing
he got to talk to him in the alley while he was waiting to leave


and got to meet wee-man!
who was also there for a signing
michio said he was really nice and a really cool dude
