Collections of words from a Colville Native.
The title went a li’l something lik ‘alcohol induced’ but that doesn’t mean I was under the influence whent this came about. Naw, it’s a li’l something like a repeating scenario. You know you got the times of intoxication w/ folks and they start crying and sobbing around. Well, this came about from the other [...]
I’m not sure where this came from, but after looking it over now, I’m alright w/ it. It’s a gooden. I hope you like it too.
Sitting, thinking about what it is I’m starting to co-create
Thankfullness for you is something that is no mistake
So I hope to shape a future that’s a cure for [...]
The neph neph is all fired up about his ATV he got for his b-day. It’s been over a week now and he’s had limited time on it, but knowing he’s got it though says a lot. I think somewhere along the line, a lot of his muncles (myself included) are proud of him for [...]
This past tuesday was the studio deal for me. I thought I was going to be able to record, but things happened to where it wasn’t possible. Instead, I got to hit up a guy to give me a beat he promised the last time I was there (not sure how many weeks ago) that [...]
The neph neph had a good day friday after school, and again on Sunday (his b-day). I got pics of the neph up on top of Mineral Hill when he first got his 4 wheeler and rode until the sun went down. So, I’ll be posting them up, along w/ a rundown of how things [...]
This week has been a li’l on the uneventful part, but that is quite alright. Today is the scheduled unveiling of one of my nephew’s b-day presents - a small atv he’s going to love. I plan on being there, and better yet, I plan on trying to capture his surprise w/ a camera too. [...]
What is it that turns the mood from down to up? What can take a person who feels pretty ugh about things just up and start feeling a li’l chipper? Who else, but someone’s mother, and because it is her birthday today, this came about:
All kinds of gray hairs and I had my share in [...]
Why do I wonder if I’m a victim of circumstance
Why do I need to close my eyes and close out reality just to dance
Should I find support just to stand and have a place of safety
Not much is definite so that’s probably why my response consists of maybe
A lot trying to break me, but thankfully [...]
It was an odd feeling, knowing I’m going to a spot where I have to see 2 natives I know laying in caskets. The ordeal was in the forefront of a lot of people’s minds, but in light of the moment, there were still times of genuine joy as family members and friends got reacquianted. [...]
Did I really make it count when I was given a chance?
I’ve cried so hard, I’ve weeped so much, and I’ll leave it at that
Wanted people and things brought back but it’s not going to happen
It’s always one foot in front of the other even when things get tragic
I’m the closest to zero understanding but [...]
No coastal trip, so nothing from that front. We stayed home, and heading up north for us meant running into some good snow. And the driver of the moment happened to be myself, so I was a li’l hesitant about trudging through the stuff, but made it out somehow. We took a different route back [...]
Will this go into a song? I don’t know, but maybe…
Ever heard of the natives always down to march to the beat
Where territory battles run deep and we armed to the teeth
Not much we need but fiend for our trusted peers to see us clear
Locked up or not, we marching along like they’re here
So [...]
This weekend it’s a coastal shot. Gotta go check it out over there for a couple days, and then it’s back here to the rez. Hopefully we don’t come back without any stories to tell. If that happens, than I’m not sure what to make out of this trip. Otherwise, it’s [...]
Halloween was good. Decorated pretty good, and got down an hour or so before sunset. Put up a strobe like w/ a green color, 4ft Black Light, some black light decorations, a door decoration that was supposed to break the eery mood, and a glow in the dark chalk outline kit we used too. Also, [...]
