Reznjun

there is no such phrase. its just a corruption of language meant to humorously say much thanks. i was sent this beaded belt buckle as a late birthday present. the picture is a bit fuzzy but i kinda like it that way. thats how i feel before my  first cup of coffee. the thing with indians though is how do you wear a cool belt buckle if no one can see it.  a pow wow gut would cover it. i have put much effort into walking this past 6 years or so. this year i have logged 168 miles so far. so this belt buckle will be visible soon when i wear it.

and i gotta thank someone for finally sending a comment. i dont get many of them. i welcome comments. it says someone is reading me. the numbers tell me that bout 700 a day read my off the wall stuff.not many will comment tho. n i seen a site that linked to  my site when i was surfing. then i spaced out what page it was. i shoulda wrote it down. i would have added the link to my site.

tomorrow i am talking deh ish over to the tribal po leece station. the animal control unit is having their annual rabies clinic. i usually dont hear about it til after its over. this year i can line up with the fort njuns for the first time. i will be able to take ‘ko nu gish’ to get a free rabies shot and he will get a flea n tick dip. i gotta go interpret for that dog  cuz he only obeys my command in  potawatomi. he one of them backward rez dogs.

i was asked to do a wedding again. but i had to hold off. it is at the time i may be out of town. may have a gig up north.  i got friends there and it will be anutha road trip. i am waiting to hear. i gotta take gigs when i get them.

lately i have talked to a coupla people that went to boarding schools. we compared notes on the abuse we experienced. still some survivors left. glad to hear that. i havent seen many of the ones i went to school with, just a few that were doing some hard time. others met  violent deaths.  some went back to native religions. i still dont like to go into a church today.

i was talking to another guy i know recently. i only have to half listen to him, cuz he will tell me the same story at least ten times. he forgets he told me, but i remember each detail vividly. i nod and act entertained. indians are too nice to interrupt. or roll their eyes. so we hear things over and over.

i visited the no news tribal website. lo and behold i did learn something new. they gonna have an art contest at the gathering. thing is i dont see where my art fits in. its not  paintings, pottery, jewelry, leather or beadwork. it is an art though. maybe i will enter a piece if i can find a category for my art. seems i never fit the neat little cubbyholes.

gotta gear up for our pow wow. its coming soon. two weeks matter of fact. i wanta do some taping and take some pictures.  too bad it will  miss per cap.  i once asked about that and was told if we waited til per cap it would rain. wtf. how does the weather know when we get our per caps. we charge a hellva lot for stands and our people dont spend as much as they would with extra cash in their pockets. some have said they would come home for the pow wow if they had their per cap. it aint like we gotta accomodate our own people. we cant question the powers that be.

it may rain again this weekend. so i gotta mow the yard….
