O'siyo, (Hello) Welcome to my channel, a Cherokee citizen I identify with my Cherokee mother(a ballerina)and my native ancestors for their cultural, social,ethical and moral values. Like my father before me, a Civil Service Engineer, I also worked for the govt & government contractors including Defense Contractors, Space systems and Aeronautics development companies. I invite you to share in my favorite music & videos and to share yours with me and others who visit, only keep the Peace.
Wa do,(Thank You)Ta Yvwiya (Two Persons)

DO YOU LIKE RIDDLES? What is it?
"This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays kings, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down."

About Me:
I made my living and earned my pension with that service & in computers. I'm still a computer and electronics enthusiast or geek but really I just like to tinker.
I'm disabled and use a flashy, fast "cobalt blue" electric wheelchair for long distances. I write & Tai-Chi my way out depression & old age. It's very good for coordination and the soul.
For six years we were good to each other before falling for each other then we didn't want to be away from each other so we lived together for almost 3 more years until I married my girlfriend but only so our friends and family would know how we feel about each other. She's a beautiful girl of German and Norse roots who loves people and is a very good corporate financial planner and advisor.
I've a lot that I'm thankful for and proud of and in addition to the power chair I'm living with tbi, a brain injury from the same accident that almost severed my spine and crushed my bones. This sometimes makes it difficult to process things as fast and as well as I would like so I'm taking things much slower now but I'm persistent and hey, even after the trauma I managed to earn a pension with it while mostly living alone so I guess I'm a little proud too. .............. --------------> READ PLEASE READ <--------------
I Am Pro Linux Pro Sharing & Pro The Pirate Bay! ! !
I believe in file sharing freedom and that human knowledge should be available to everyone in every aspect that's the only way. I believe in the artist but I know what the corporations have done is wrong so I try to follow the legal news of The Pirate Bay (TPB) & The Trial.
(Peter Sunde (aka Brokep) of the Pirate Bay had this to say-I do not believe The Pirate Bay will be a major player in five years. But I think BitTorrent technology will improve. File sharing will always exist. I think people will tire of the debate.)
If I could not afford to buy a car, I would not steal it. But, were it possible, I would make an exact replica of it for little to no cost, and drive away happy.
Influences:
The youth I spent with Papa, my grandfather, much of that in his lap asking the endless questions of a child while we sat in that soft, blue swivel chair his hands cut, built & upholstered from scratch. There was also the special times planting or working his garden where he instructed me in life's important things. These are wonderful memories and a special escape each time I remember them.
There were many others that were great influences to me but the best are the ones of my family.
Favorite News Sources
My best news sources are direct; people of the Earth; Red Yellow Black and White all my relations. I contact them via email, instant msg for they are all around the world and online, on youtube and blogs everywhere. This is my way of finding honest news, for confirming network news before spreading the news.....
Where there is no hope, the people perish........
Bombs to set the people free, blood to feed the dollar tree
Flags for coffins on the screen, oil for the machine
Hometown:
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Country:
United States
Occupation:
Computer Ops and Technical Support. Taking early retirement against my will mid December 08!!
Companies:
The usual raft of odd jobs but highlighting them would be Marriott Inc, (the most appreciative co. I worked for) a support analyst for Lodgistix, Owner of More Than Computers(for more than 3 yrs), Cielo Laser Communications a clean lab technician and my last 10 yrs at Lockheed Martin.
Schools:
if the things I believe in, are different from the things I do, then any perception of happiness can only be illusion. Ta
Hobbies:
I support life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - but not at the expense of others...Thich Nhat Hanh... I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill..."
My heart has always told me people are inherently good but my experience has led me to believe otherwise.*** however, I remain interested in Peace, Progress, Freedom, Cherokee Spirituality, I am into Health, I Enjoy Recumbent Biking, Anything Outdoors, For My Health I'm A Vegetarian Trying To Be Vegan, /// LINUXLINUXLINUX /// A BIG Fan Of OpenSource Freedom and the computer Operating System LINUX, I Like Computers and Information Technology, I Understand The Issue Of and Support Universal Health care (that is when doctors are rewarded ($) for services they perform that help people get better and that same level of care is available to anyone). /// MANWOMANMANWOMANMANWOMAN A Constant Student of Relationship Communication (I just heard you pass out and hit the floor). All these things and more interest me.

...................... KNOWYOURHISTORYKNOWYORHISTORY ::
I was once told that Knowing where you come from is just as important as knowing where you are going so I learned my generations. My 5th Gen. Great Grandfather was called: Tsu-La KINGFISHER b: ABT 1732 in Cherokee Nation East and his wife my 5th Gen. Grandmother is: NANYE'HI (later called Nancy Ward ) the Ghi-ga-u b: ABT 1738 in Chota, Cherokee Nation (Blount County, Tennessee) I believe that knowing this has made a good difference in my life. My grandfather, Martin Bell taught me about the three sister, Corn, Beans and Squash, as we planted them in his garden. That's where my mind goes to rest, the treasured memories of my grandfather and the lessons he taught me in his garden.
.......................................................................*** Why Am I BIG ON LINUX & OPENOFFICE? Because it works, there's no Blue Screen of Death and It's Just better. I LOVE OPEN SOURCE Because of what it's best at: It Opens the world to all people, EVEN WHEN their governments think they know better.

Movies with Morgan Freeman, Anthony Anderson, Christian Slater, Scarlett Johansson, Helen Hunt, Gabrielle Union, Bill Paxton and Jimmy Stewart and about a dozen more.

'Cherokee' is Creek for 'People Of Another Language'. (It's amazing how European settlers always managed to learn a tribe's name FROM another tribe. They learned the Creek word for the Cherokee's, but not the Creek word for themselves.) Anyway, our original name for ourselves was Aniyunwiya, but Cherokee is fine too (though we say it Tsalagi). There are 350,000 Cherokee people today, mostly in Oklahoma and North Carolina.
