why does the work we put in matter so little to others who dont ever see what we do for a living? I have been a native american all my life and I have struggled, but I dont want sympathy, I want understanding. now you aint gotta love me, you aint gotta respect me, but you will understand me. I am a warrior of my people and I fight for my people! I will continue to make my life better for me and my people because it is the way we as native americans were taught or at least told about...they say that it takes a tribe to raise a child, and I believe that is true. because no one person or family can raise a child alone, that child needs to learn things that only a society can teach, and I believe that with our society our children grow... we as a people teach our younger generation how to grow up by providing them with influence based upon what we as a people do.... now as a people how is it that we are unable to see are own mistakes but are so eager to point out the mistakes in others? well, I for one have been a victim of these certin circumstances. I have been tried and convicted and I have been sentenced. I have did my time and I have learned that no matter what you do in life, you have to enjoy it, otherwise its just another thing that passes you by... my thoughts for today come from the heart and I hope that they influece you to be a better person for your people... I hope that they may someday teach you as I have taught others to be curtious ot others and take the time to recognize what others have done, as well as what you yourselves have done... thank you...

well my friends as you all know, I am going to trial, on the 27th of jan. 09... and may not return 4 a few years, nothing matters more to me now then what I have to show for each and every one of yous... there are certin aspects in life that set you down and make you feel bad, but lets not dwell on those aspects... more lets dwell upon the things that keep us happy, like warm sun on a cold winters day... I believe that I am put in this place 4 a reason... today marks the day I speak to all of you's who chose 2 listen... there are no goal in life that are impossable, every thing is within your reach... you just got to make into reality and stop living a dream... 4 if we try to keep living in the dreams you want so bad, you will go to sleep and wake up in a fantisy, only to crash and find that it wasnt worth it... I'm not saying dont dream, just pay attention to what your pourpse is in life and that will help you take on the biggest fights in your life... all is well my friends be speedy and accurate in your journey to the stars your friend, Darrick S.
