Searching for the one
Mood:  hug me
Now Playing: Sah!
Topic: Summer Daze

Have you ever had one of those moments of weakness where you are totally committed to being single then out of the blue a man who could be the one approaches you?  I haven't yet so I think... but then all my wiser more experienced friends who know better tell me that I have.  Now I am left with my head reeling and my earth titillating on end.... (I don't even know if that's a word however I'll make it work)  I don't know perhaps I met the one when we danced the night away that night all those months ago in the solstace of winters dread, then again perhaps I'm just being wishful... oh to go back to yesterday when none of this mattered and the only problem I had was that the rent was due and there was no peanut butter in the cuppord.... oh if only if only... the drama... anywas that's my rant...

Well folks I'm getting ready to head out on the highway my son will be done school in 2 days then it's a go.... yippee...   As for the one, he'll have to wait, I got places to be and people to see, and if he's not mobile then perhaps in the next life I'll want to live in one place but not this one...

Happy Summer everyone!

Today is a Great Day to Be Alive
Mood:  energetic
Now Playing: Solitude Sounds of Spring
Topic: Spring Adventures

Today is one of those days that is enjoyable no matter what, I have this inner sense of peace and love.  I know it does not happen all the time, and I'm enjoying it. 

My son has only 5 more school days left then he is done with it.  I begin the new life skills program for the summer months at the end of the month and then after that the tour begins... so things are going smoothly.

I got new toll free telephone (1-877-727-2762) and toll free fax number's(1-877-837-5652) now so I feel very positive about how this will help me out!  Thanks to Kim and the FOTR site for all the helpful information that I have been able to use!

I also have another Comedy Show coming up at the Regina Treaty Status Services Treaty Day Celebration on June 29, 2009 - 401 3rd Ave N - Regina, Entertainment starts at 7:00 pm.  It's a full day event so come out for a full day of fun!

Yep so I'm feeling good and it's a good day to be alive...Wink

Stand Up Comedy
Mood:  incredulous
Now Playing: The Tragically Hip
Topic: Spring Adventures

So I am off to do a Stand up comedy show this evening, I'm not sure how it will go, I'm getting pretty psyched!  My stomach is doing it's flip flop things, I'm sure that I will perhaps make em smile at very minimum.  I'm hoping that some of my friends will show up and give me some encouragement. I've done it before where I've been on  that stage with not a soul in the house who was a friend.  It's a tough thing, but what the hell If they don't laugh, then I merely am prolonging my life as every minute up there seems like an eternity... *L* 

I finally finished my web site renovation and I finally finished my Bent Tour site also.... so if you get a chance click the links!

Anyways if you all get a chance come on out to my show tonight: 

Queen City Pub and Grill

9th Ave N & Broad Street

7:00 pm

tickets are $20.00 at the door!

-37 brrrrrrrrr
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: The Cure... again
Topic: Winter Daze

Well here I sit yet again in Regina... I still long to live back in the RV... but in SK that plan is currently fatal if we did... it's too cold!

My little guy has been wishing to live back in the RV also, but hey we are warm and have one another. 

I'm still processing my dad's passing and I have been missing him lately, I realized that it has already been a month since I last spoke with him.  I know that the time will only get longer and the pain will become less and more depending on the day and moment.  I can say though with 100% certainty that my dad had a good life and lived it to his fullest potential.  I still marvel at all his accomplishments and know that I do  have his strengths.  I want to continue on in his pursuits of true happiness and commitment to a higher purpose in life.  

I want to teach my son the things my dad taught me, virtues, self determination and to be independant and true to my own goals and dreams.   And how to fix your own vehical... *L*

So I still venture on and know that I will be living life on the road in no time again and I will succeed. 

And hey who knows... perhaps some day soon our paths will cross!

My greatest loss

Hi everyone!  I don't know who all reads this if anyone, but we recently experienced a loss in our family, my father passed away on New Year's Day.

My Dad's name was Sterling Brass, he was a Great Man, a true Leader with vision and dignity.  For those of you who are un-aware, my father was a Political Leader For First Nations through out Saskatchewan and Canada.  My Dad was much more than that though, he was a Mushoom and a Dad.

It's a very difficult thing to lay my dad to rest, however it was even more difficult watching him constantly sick and suffering with strokes and heart attacks.  I am sad, however I know he always loved me and my son, and I know that he is now in a better place and happy and well.

For anyone who'd like to see my dad's memorium and obituary I have posted a link below...

Brrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: Chatter throughout the house
Topic: Winter Daze

Well hello there friends and family and all of you in internet land!  It's too cold in the RV and we have moved into mama's house!  Yipes!  I know!  Oh well we are learning... this is why I decided to stay close to home this year and winter next door (and plugged into) my mom's house!

Sigh...  I have one electric heater but it's just not doing it for us and we've been experiencing a drain on my mom's electrical bill, so we decided to spend the next couple of months in my mom's spare room, till the chill goes and we get some warmer weather!  Well at least we gave it a shot!

I am currently enrolled in a Carpentry Course and by March I will have my Level 1 Carpentry ticket and with a little more financial earning power perhaps this next winter I'll be more mobile in warmer temps...

Lakota is now attending a public school, quite a change for him as he's only been in school one other time when he was 3ish... he doesn't seem to mind it and I was told by his teacher that he's quite advanced!  That gave me a proud moment, since I was not too sure he was getting what he needed from me as far as education was concerned... but cest la vie!

Anyways it's a good day today, my nephew's birthday - Sweet 16, happy days Wyatt... I love you!

And I'm currently in Regina... getting colder, and more Chistmas-ey i think I'm gonna have a good one this year... More will be revealed!

Take care all and happy holidays!

September, October, November...
Mood:  caffeinated
Now Playing: sound of dogs in the distance and children barfing...
Topic: Home

Hi there! Currently I am in Regina chillin at my sister's house, my son is in the bedroom ill suffering with a stomach flu, poor guy was up barfin last night... he should be ok by tonight as this same flu ran through my sister's kids and she said it's only a one day flu strain... I am feeling ok, so anyways... here's about my life in the RV...

 

So it's like this... I am no longer on line,Cry I have come to rely on the good will of my familiy and friends who allow me to use their computers...  Also, I no longer have a cell phone so I cannot get any calls.  Money mouthSigh... working for ones self is not always lucrative... Feast and Famine in my biz... 

I have been working, though not steadily, and I have been spending my $$ on winterizing the RV... I'm not too sure if I will be able to pull this off successfully this winter, I am working on it, and hey time will tell! 

As it is we are currently plugged into my mama's house on the rez, I have enrolled in a Carpentry course and hope to make use of my new learned skills with doing a bit of a reno in the RV...

Though I am also considering selling the current RV and going with a Tow Model, rather then the Class C... for something more light weight and the possibility of installing a small wood burning stove within it... Thus I am not too sure what is going to happen... 

I am leary of putting a wood stove in a vehical that also has a gas tank... too scary... Therefore my logic is to get a towable RV and then install my wood stove, some solar panels and be virtually free of major expenses... don't know though... time will tell...

So far we've been in the RV using a small electric heater and costing extra on my ma's power bill... Frown I believe that my son and I are now used to the space limitations, although I need to find suitable storage for some of my stuff!  I really wish my mom would "STOP PURCHASING THINGS FOR US!!!!" from Garage sales... I appreciate them and they are great finds... but I have limited storage... *L*

I am happy to be able to blog though, missed this and thanks to my sister for the use of the computer... Stay Joyful and if you get a chance to laugh today... Do it! Its good for the soul...*L*
