About Me

Ya' At' Teeh' a.k.a. “Hi” in Navajo. Welcome to my page! I guess I should write a little about myself. I grew up in a tiny town in northwest New Mexico called Crownpoint. I currently live here in Albuquerque where I am going to school full time at UNM majoring in Mass Communications Public Relations. I took a break from school for a while taking a class here and there but after leaving my previous job to work in Santa Fe I realized how badly I wanted to finish school. A big reason for going back to school, amongst other things, has been my family. I have an amazing family that I am very proud to be part. My mom and dad are busy parents raising my little brother at home and their two wiener dogs. I have an awesome older brother and sister who both live here in ABQ. After I am finished with school, I’d like to get out of New Mexico and move to a bigger city. There are opportunities out there for me that I want to experience. I’ve always told others, Albuquerque and New Mexico Will always be my home. Well that’s a little introduction enjoy my music and pictures. PUT YOUR ABOUT ME SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profile

My Interests

I have so many interests where do I start. I like a lot of things from clothing, to music, to movies, to art and various other things. I love to run and hit the gym you know, just get my butt out of the house but there are some times where I enjoy being home in my pajamas and being lazy or cleaning house which is a frequent activity for me. I feel that too many people spend way too much time watching tv and doing nothing but thinking about themselves and writing bad songs and poetry, not me! haha...anyways hope I didn't put you to sleep by now...I've always had an interest in clothing and fabric architecture haha aka fashion design. I think that when you buy a basic piece of clothing at a store unless its already customized and great looking, you have the opportunity to make something more out of it and if something doesn't fit make it fit. I love doing men's clothing, womens clothing would be fun to do but the world is already dominated by it. Doing men's fashion and styling would be very fun and interesting, it would enable me to use my imagination and rethink what's out there already.......

I'd like to meet:

View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

I was thinking about this section and thinking about people I would have really liked to meet. I think the first ones would have been my two grand fathers, Grandpa Murphy and Grandpa Capitan. They had a huge impact on my parents as well as my entire family. I would ask them questions I was never able to ask anyone because I never had a chance to experience my grandpaps. I would have also loved to have been able to to talk to my great grandma Arviso. All the questions that are going on in my head and the things I could learn from all of them. They all have a place in my heart and they truly help shape who I want to become. but...... In general I'd like to meet great friends and make great connections. I love my friends and they all have unique and special qualities about them that make them an individual.I think that a specific quality I look for in people is a heart. This could include many things. Its passion, its a purpose, its a goal, its a need its a desire to make themselves better and things around them better for those they care about. I can't stand selfish people, you know the people that can do nothing but brag about themselves, talk about themselves, hear nothing but themselves....no no no no this is not what i find interesting about a person at all. Respect above all is another quality I admire. You can see nothing as taboo but I certainly won't tolerate disrespect of any kind toward a friend, relative, nor a stranger.

Music:

Heroes:

First and foremost my greatest heroes are right at home. My mom and dad have always instilled it in me to be the best that i can be with honor, integrity, and dignity. The have set an example for me to do things for the good of others and have always been there to support me in my life. My siblings, Bern, Chigs, and Tyler as well as my nephew are heroes of mine in a different way. They inspire me to keep the Capitan name going strong and proud much as they do in the things they do. They make me want to be a better man.My entire family, the Murphys, Capitans, and Arvisos. My aunt as you may know, gave it a shot to run for Navajo Nations President and we cam very close. With out my family there coming together to be a single strong unit we wouldn't have made it that far With great hope I look to be as amazing and strong like my aunt Lynda and pursue presidency as well or maybe congress who knows. Last but not least, I mentioned them before but my friends. They're good people and unique in every way I love them and truly love all my heroes.
