When I am not writing or recording media art [music/film] I like to play golf and do minor gambling with friends. Casino's are fun, but the environment is much to smokey. I like to play Poker Texas Hold em, Blackjack, $20 nassau, and/or bet on "the PONIES." I don't like to lose a lot of money, so when I do gamble I usually only allow myself a $20 budget. I view money in the terms of records. So if I lose $20 dollers, then I feel I lost three to four potiental records.
When I have nothing else to do, I love to read and research my Navajo history and philsophy. For those unaware Navajos' are only allowed to research sacred and ceremonial knowledge ONLY during the winter months. So during the spring, summer, and fall months I enjoy reading Western psychology shite, various television/film/theatre screenplays, film history, and technical film and music publications.
As of this new year, 2006, I have been taking more trips to the San Juan river, Animas river, and various lakes in the Four Corners area. I have returned to the water to renew my love for my first true passtime, FISHING! Some of my earliest and best childhood memories were along the rivers and dams fishing my days away, so I return to my first true love...FISHING!!
2006 fish count: 18.
2007 fish count: 5.
2008 fish count: 0.

Music:
I LOVE all music. Everything from Native chants to electro breaks, but I love to listen to the music I create. In my music I can always hear something new or feel a new concept that I can develop into my next album. I love to sample beats, loop them, and create raw RIDDIMS to record my freestyles and "writtens" over them. I also love to program instrumentals on my Roland MC909 and add live instruments throughout the process to create my own style of electro music. I love to make reggae and hiphop instrumentals. I am on a mission to put my words over any and all riddims of the world. Currently I'm feeling the REGGAE VIBE that is being produced out of Jamaica.
