too many chiefs

the one bad thing about this place is, there's too many chiefs! unbelievable! there's not enough ind'ns. you can be a 'chief' and still do 'ind'n' things. there's too many damn chiefs. it's a sorry state of affairs.

testing, testing, 1, 2, 3....

i'm trying to post something and include a picture from my picasa sight. let me try....

awesome! i posted a pic! the process is not as hard as i thought. it took awhile to upload, but it worked.

the picture is of my friend dave and my son coltrane. we went out for seal on may 6th. we took off past sisaulik and i shot a small natchiq, or ringed seal. i ended up sending the fat little seal to my sister sharon in bethel.

i will mos def post more pics!

web sharing website

i'm trying out picasa for uploading pics to the internet. picasa is a google web sharing website and figured if it was a google function, then it must be good. i'm trying to upload pics from my ugruk hunting trip, but its taking forever. 138 pics is a big album. i should've tried a smaller album. oh well. when i do upload pics, i will mos def post some pics.

wrong move gov. palin.

the governor made a dumb ass mistake by firing the state's top cop. she had her team fire walt monegan because he wouldn't fire one of his own. the media is eating up that story and now peeps like myself question her judgment.

what's the lastest? the legislature now has approved an independent investigation to look into the firing of monegan. the governor seems like a pretty smart person, but she made a dumb ass move! why fire walt monegan over a fuckin personal matter?

a message for the governor: just because wooten is in an ugly child custody case with your sister, that doesn't mean you should fire a competent, bad ass cop. this act may have been your worst political move yet. plain stupid. reinstate his appointment and apologize to monegan, the department of public safety, and the rest of us. dumb ass move. i shake my head....

beluga excitement

ess and i went out on the boat in front of otz looking for beluga. there were reports of beluga in front of town, so we went out all excited to see some. were there any? nope. we did, however, have a moment of excitement when we thought we saw one. apparently an ugruk, or bearded seal, swam through shallow water and created a wave on the surface, much like the beluga do. damn! i put some bullets in the .243, hoping to shoot at one. perhaps next time.

we went back to otz and picked up our buddy chip on the ride home. he made a funny comment as they were leaving. "even the best hunters come home with nothing."

vote for me!

vote for me--i'm going to put my name in for the president's seat for the association of village council presidents!

july 2008

i haven't written a blog in a long ass time! damn. i need to write more and speak my mind and articulate my thoughts, as jagged and they might seem.

perhaps writing in this blog will help to balance me and keep my sanity. i know for sure myspace was a great escape to my boring ass life as a school teacher in togiak. i miss togiak and the peeps there, but i don't miss my job. a school teacher in the vill is okay for a married man, but is not good for young, single nates like myself at the time.

anyways, back to blogging. i need to write in here more often. lately, i've been dreaming about the c.o.o. job in dlg. i'm a fuckin dreamer, but i do know that leadership is my calling.

fuck, i miss my son. i haven't seen him since the first week of june. i'm so glad he's got more of my fiery personality. love you son!

until next time, which might be later on tonight, i will see you later.
