One of my favorite quotes comes from
Clint Eastwood in the
Gauntlet; "Nag, nag, nag." And I've used it successfully to lighten tension between an irate woman and myself when I wrongfully (realized after the fact) jumped her husband's goat over a matter I should have just stayed out of. Relax P.E.T.A. people - it was a figurative goat only elsewise the verbal abuse would have left it bleeding from the ears. So now is my turn to
Nag, on two different subjects.
I have to go back to QUACK Dr, as I cant get anyone else to see me soon enough. My foot it seems has been behaving most odd over the last week or so. About 4 days ago I woke up with my foot killing me, like it was broken. I didn't trip on anything, didn't get struck or stumped on nothing. I just woke up and there it was.
As the day progressed the pain went away and I could walk as good as ever. That is until the day before yesterday (?) when once again I woke up to an extremely painful foot. Feels like its broken. Anyway - same story. No reason for it, no bruising - just a slight, barely noticeable swelling or puffiness. As the day progressed it was better. The next morning, same thing, except it kept a slight presence of pain being the differentiator.
This morning I uhm.., well ... let me quote the famous dwarf, Tattoo, from
Fantasy Island.., "The pain, boss! The pain!" And it do hurt. So unless I die from the pain (fat chance) I'll be seeing a doctor about this new problem on Friday. The pain runs along the top side of foot, running roughly along the inside side behind the big-toe knuckle up just below the ankle bone, not the arches - I might add
Nag session number two is it seems some uneducated duder, tends to think if you don't have dark skin, you are not Native American. I don't know why that offends me but it do. Yeah I have mixed blood but I'm about 1/4 Cherokee and while I don't have the high cheek bones (or do i?) or dark skin nor do I have feathers growing out of my scalp - the Native American Indian blood still flows through these veins just the same. This person probably just has a racist attitude toward White people - maybe thats his problem. Well.., yeah.., I'm still offended.
But then among the full and half blood Native Americans there is a split; Those who accept Heinz 57's like myself and then there are those who insist recognition of full blood only. What's to do. Nothing of course. But you know what? I said it before - when you add all my known bloodlines together with potential unknown ones - I become - Liquorice American. So there you have it! Cherokee, Scottish, English and ??? - and therefore I am..., [insert dramatic musical overture] ... Liquorice American!
Having said that - YES - I am still on hiatus. What you are reading is a hiccup. I am not here. I'm in pain. And I'm looking for a cleaning service brave enough to lift the unholy, indescribable debris in my 70s shag carpet, left there by unknown revelers. For the Indian lovers - there is no Cherokee word for "goodbye". The closest word there is means, "Until we meet again". Unfortunately, I don't know what that word is. And I like that. Never having to say, goodbye. Unless someone keeps making me mad - then I think I can find that "goodbye" word real appealing, real fast.
Parting FYI - to those partially blooded Native Americans like me - save yourself some embarrassment and never tell full bloods that your great or great great great grandmother was an Indian Princess. That was an 1800s written by a white man's dime novel misconception. There were no Indian princesses nor princes, no matter what you've been told or assumed. Except in the poetic sense of course. You've just been educated - drop money in bucket on the way out. I'm raising funds to hire Abby and Ssprite to hunt the, scoundrel Indian/White man hater, down like a duck and thrash him like a.., like a.., whatever gets thrashed. Thank you.
