just was flipping through some of the old posts, lets run this one again as I am feeling real "Indian Like" today!
Tonight was a peaceful relapse partaking in an old friend: The movie "Dances With Wolves". I so enjoy this movie and always get sucked in when I start watching it. As I sat taking it all in with my Aldi's brand energy drink, "Red Thunder", I began to think about what my Indian name would be. You see, "Red Thunder" is the Aldi's version of Red Bull (tm) energy drink. If you look closely at the picture below, all the components are present of my Indian name.
I'd like to introduce you to yet another little known fact about me (which is a very crucial part of my Indian name). As you can see pictured, I have a favorite blanket.....Is it odd that a 31 (almost 32) year old male would have a favorite blanket? Well, seeing as this is my job description perhaps it is a tad off:
"The work is performed indoors, in a vehicle and outdoors during both day and night. The employee may be exposed to inclement weather, infectious diseases and life threatening situations. The work requires the use of protective clothing and devices."
Just to clarify, I don't walk around with the blanket like its a "binkie" and I don't suck my thumb. However, I do enjoy having the blanket covering me up anytime I nap or sleep. It is what it is, my favorite blanket. Growing up, it was called "arfie" but this name isn't used anymore as I'm grown up now.
Gun Lake is infamous for the old Indian population which used to and continues to inhabit the area. The Band of Indians still carries out the fight over land with the white man but not with primitive weapons. The fight for land now is their attempt to put in a Casino not far from TEAM T HEADQUARTERS.
In respect and as a tribute to all the fearsome warrior Indians I present to you my INDIAN NAME:
So what is my Indian name you ask?
RED THUNDER BLANKET DANCER.
(Think "hay-yow hay-yow" Indian dancin' music for the above picture. Can you see the RED THUNDER GLOWING IN MY EYES? click on the picture to make it bigger :)
RED THUNDER BLANKET DANCER dances around the house singin' "hay-yow hay-yow ho-yow ho-yow".
Big Bucks!

Do you want us to start addressing you by your Indian name when we see you? We did know about the blanket thing, and I am so glad you brought it out into the open, since it has been whispered about in certain circles in the past. I am so glad you opened up about it--now we don't have to whisper!!!! Again, you have made my day. I hope you are printing copies of your blog for your daughters to have when they are grown. I am serious--what a treasure for them to have and pass on to their children and grandchildren!
