I WANT TO KNOW It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to meet your hearts longing. It doesn't inerest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow. I want to know if you have been opened by lifes betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own with out moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own. I want to know if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstacy fill you to your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic or remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can dissappoint another to be true to yourself. I want to know if you can bare the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty even if it is not pretty everyday. I want to know if you can source your life from Gods presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout at the silver of the moon "Yes." It doesn't interest me where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after a night of greif and disspair wiery and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done for the childern. It doesn't interest me where or what or whom you studied with. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truely enjoy the company you keep in the empty moments.
Music
There is so much music out there that I enjoy. I am really into hand drums, I want to know more of my traditional songs. Into pow-wow music aswell I love the sound of a big drum. I am into southern style for the moment but I do not like to say I am limited to one style, I like them all it depends on my mood. I am a real techno freak I love Hard Core techno I need lots of bass. I am also into rap/hip-hop and some country. Hard Rock always has a place in my heart.
Movies
I really enjoy kickin back and watching a movie. It is a nice way to relax after a hard day at work. I always have time for a good action or western movie. There are to many to name. Something with Angelina Jolie is always good.
Television
I seem to be very busy I do not have much time for it anymore. I miss some of the programs but I am getting over it. Lost, any CSI, the discovery channel are a few things I miss in particular.
Books
To be Honest I do not make the time to do any reading. When I was younger my face was usually buried in a book somewhere. When I was a boy I enjoyed fantasy novels particularly The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe. As a teenager I really enjoyed the works of Stephen King and Dean Koontz. In my early adulthood I read many of Sherman Alexie books. I continue to quote him to this day, "She is Looking for Crazy Horse."
Heroes
I have been lucky enough to be mentored by many relatives, grandparents, aunts, uncles, most of all my mom she was a single parent of four and sacrificed a lot to give us what we needed. I have read up on many of the great chiefs and warriors. Names that will be remembered for centuries to come. As a child I dreamt of being a legend like them, I hoped my name would be as famous.
Great Spirit,
give us hearts to understand;
Never to take from creation's beauty more than we give;
Never to destroy wantonly for the furtherance of greed;
Never to deny to give our hands for the building of earth's beauty;
Never to take from her what we cannot use.
Give us hearts to understand
That to destroy earth's music is to create confusion;
That to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty;
That to callously pollute her fragrance is to make a house of stench;
That as we care for her she will care for us.
We have forgotten who we are.
We have sought only our own security.
We have exploited simply for our own ends.
We have distorted our knowledge.
We have abused our power.
Great Spirit, whose dry lands thirst,
help us to find the way to refresh your lands.
Great Spirit, whose waters are choked with debris and pollution,
help us to find the way to cleanse your waters.
Great Spirit, whose beautiful earth grows ugly with mis-use,
help us to find the way to restore beauty to your handiwork.
Great Spirit, whose creatures are being destroyed,
help us to find a way to replenish them.
Great Spirit, whose gifts to us are being lost
in selfishness and corruption,
help us to find the way to restore our humanity.

About me:
As I walk. The universe is walking with me
In beauty it walks before me
In beauty it walks behind me
In beauty it walks below me
In beauty it walks above me
Beauty is on every side
As I walk, I walk with Beauty

Time Waits For Now Man ~ I Do Love It When It Stands Still
I am a Canoe carver amongst other crafty things. I am a hunter and a fisherman. I was born and raised a traditionalist. I would like to return to the pow-wow trail in the near future. I enjoy tinkering around with my old cars. I have a real thing for Chevy 350's. I have been a Fisheries Technician for quite awhile and I do love the job. I find that the water is my salvation. I spend a lot of time around water and it is where I am at my best. I spent my formative years on my grandparents ranch, it was some of the best years of my life. Enough of tooting my own horn I feel a little ackward.
Who I'd like to meet: Tara Patrick, Tiesto, Tia Carerre, Nelson Mandela, Jesse James, Chief Dan George, Bruce Lee, Crazy Horse, Techumseh, Soorimpt and you.
