Collections of words from a Colville Native.
Not sure where to use this written, but it’s a gooden though.
Check it out:
My eyes have witnessed so much more than they should have seen
My life has taken in too much of this heartbreaking scene
I wondered once about breaking free but couldn’t do it
I’d miss everyone way too much and I knew it
So I concluded [...]
I was supposed to go hunting again this weekend, but when they attempted to wake me up @ 5:30 am, or whatever time it was, I knew I wasn’t going to contribute much. Or, as I stated when asked if I was still going, “Nah… Nah… I’m pretty worthless… I’m not gonna go…” But, [...]
Uh oh, another gooden here:
Me and my crazy luck got me all kinds of stuck
I’m waking up seeing who it was taking the breath from my lungs
Not even from a touch but more just looks and expressions
Not even that, here she is sleeping still captivating my attention
Just her presence, hell just her essence is well [...]
So how did things go for spokane? It didn’t, never ended up going. But, this weekend was nice though, I think. Folks just hanging out, and in the mix of good numbers of people gathered, no drama? No fights, but I think there were arguments here and there. Folks dressed up for the bars, and [...]
Tuesday, we’re in the mountains trying to spot SOMETHING. We do the cruise bit, and the walking bit too. We took the backroads where too much logging has gone on and turned the dirt roads in to veritable shortcuts from one paved road to the other. They’re wide enough for 2 full size trucks to [...]
Friday, it wasn’t much going on. We went hunting in the day, and instead of seeing much of anything, it was the highlight of the deal to drive a lot. Then out of nowhere, our passenger decided he wants to fire off his guns. Who were we to argue since we wanted the same? So [...]
It was decided since Wednesday, that a trip back to spokane on Saturday was going to happen. We could have easily went out Friday night, then apologize to chuck that we couldn’t take him out because we were tired. Nope, we stuck it out, and I know I felt it pretty good. I wanted to [...]
Okay, things are both good and bad. This guy I worked w/ last year went by the name of “Super Dave” cause he had a big jug of straight coffee he sipped on all day and just worked w/out questions. He was easy going, and really friendly. On the job, you could get him to [...]
This is the hook (w/ more to possibly be added later) and a verse of a song I’m writing up.
It was a nice talk, simple sentiments in a private talk
All along a private walk when time suddenly felt stalled
When I fell off on a good one and never quite recovered
Thought I had it down, then [...]
The other day, I was heading out to Spokane. The gas gauge was a li’l on the ‘low’ side, so I figured it was a good idea to try out a refill. There’s a total of 3 gas stations around here; 2 Cheveron’s and a 76. Actually another one too, but there’s a special card [...]
this past weekend, bad news came in. Li’l man (one neph neph) was involved in an accident, and didn’t make it. So there’s family helping out, and things just seem nonchalant. Personally, I don’t know what to do? I’m just in a daze thinking about the kid who had, literally, his whole life ahead of [...]
Monday? What to do, where to go, and who to see?
The neph neph took off yesterday w/ his dad, and he’s quite the character, as is his son that takes so much after him. Along their journeys though, he has the cd’s I accumulated just recently to upload to his computer back in Idaho.
Yesterday [...]
Yesterday was a gooden again. Woke up a li’l on the late side, but no big deal. Then a bro shows up w/ a plan to head out to spokane to pick up a new tv, but all he needs is a pick up. Duke has one, but it’s probably not too reliable heading all [...]
Familiar motions don’t roll like they used to w/ me and you
Things switched up pretty good, now I’m wondering what to do
Everything once breathed life because they were all brand new
Now things blend in and together when we pass through
As you assume I’m going to other spots to snag some kind of stash
Then you tell [...]
Dang, things were a li’l weird yesterday. We got some good news in the form of a check made out to all current Colville members. In order to get it though, you had to go to the community center, present your tribal ID, and they’d hand over the envelope. Knowing this much, I knew I [...]
