i texted one of my nieces and told her i bought her a present. she texted back ‘no you didnt, its april fools day.’ then she told me that wasnt very nice.  i guess not. the day has lost its meaning. used to be people would play pranks for the hell of it. i im’ed a tribal worker and said the tribe was closing down for the day. then april fools….wasnt funny. then told anutha niece they were getting a per cap. that wasnt funny either. today being funny aint funny. we live in a serious world.  maybe the times call for a meanie day where you just do mean things. like if someone tells you good morning  you reply ’shut up’.  or if someone asks if they can help you, you answer ‘leave me the hell alone’.  i can think of several people that would make great spokespeople for that kind of  day.

there was suppose to be some kind of worm that was to infect computers today. dont know if that happened or not. it was gonna take over your computer and send spam to others. i get spam all the time. all kinds of miracle cures. or get rich schemes. it just goes into my junk folder and i delete it.

got anutha email today. they are gonna have a 100 year anniversary of menominees statue. he was the chief of the band of potawatomis that got removed from their homes at gunpoint back in the 1830s then shipped to some place called kansas. evidently someone heard i offered a prayer in potawatomi before the retracing of the trail of death. so they want me back to do anutha one. i said maybe i could, but it is understood that i dont perform for cameras. i make sure they are turned off. i dont believe in prayer as performance. i aint no hollywood njun.

i find it odd that people from a distance know of the things i do, while some that live around here dont even know who i am. but then when i was growing up here there were just a few hundred that actually lived here. just poor country injuns. today there are many more people that live around here.  alot of them just moved back when the tribe started to prosper somewhat. some dont have a clue about what we got here. some  only have a  concern of how do i get a piece of the money. like that is a native trait.

heard that a pack of marlboros cost 5 bucks at the nation station today. tomorrow they will go up to 6.70.  so how much for a carton? damn…glad i quit smoking cigarettes. cigars went up too, glad i gave them up too. even them commodity smokes went up. they almost 2 bucks a pack. man…..i hope the price of gas dont go up too much before pow wow season. i plan on hitting a few again this year. all the local ones and some road trips. the price of everything went up….thats why the economy is in the shape it is in. the politicians tell us they will fix it. we’ll see.
