I just returned from 3 years in the SW..I LOVE IT..The goard songs n southern drum is calling me..& it's my home there too now. I enjoy going to powwows & cultural events. I love to travel and head out on the highway. I love meeting new people who are real & down to earth. I love to try out different kindsa food. My favorite being the mutton sandwiches from the Gallup Flea Market. They are the best. Next I like this Japanese restaurant on robson st. It's pretty awsome especailly after going to a special event with close friends & my sister. I also tried papoosas and they're good too. So I love adventures when it comes to food & music. I want to travel more and make some films about this vast beautiful land. I'd like to meet people who love our culture but understand and respect protocol also. I like writing poetry and going to poetry readings as well as live theater performances and traditional storytelling. It's all Good!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other artists and creative people. I'm not into alcohol at all & have seen it do damage to alot of people & help people stay in denial about the pain and suffering and realities of life so have made a commitment to stay clear of it for that reason. If you drink once and awhile and can manage to stay respectful and real then that's cool..I'll still wish for u2 stop 1 day. I wouldn't pick someone to be with who drinks and I wouldn't want my family to indulge.That's just the way it is

It's amazing oh and see the behind the scenes footage...incredable, especially the scene where they're preparing for the abduction scene where the little girls are taken away from the family...have kleenex on hand..but also seeing how the girls were cast, that's interesting too.
