REZurrection
REZurrection –
Renewed sensible approach…my time off : “ looking in from the outside”; was home on the rez again over the weekend -helping mom and dad with packing and hauling…there is so much to go through, we all get caught up looking at old stuff like pictures, letters, etc ...it grounds us...very emotional... it was cool to see mom ‘s high school scrapbook and yearbooks..all her photos were great! She was and is a beautiful human being…she even had my dad’s letters while he was in vietnam! i smile as i watch them share those memories...my dad and mom did not date in hs...they just knew each other at holbrook high..then he went off to fight (he volunteered)..and they stayed in touch via letters through my Nali...she would tell my mom dad is doing fine in Chu Lai and Khe Sahn...what a backdrop! I was able to feed through my gear too! I saw a few of my high school homework like Mr. Edward’s Math assignments- apparently I received a ½ credit, then he re-reviewed it (my teenage attitude didnt help too), so he scratched out the ½ credit! -all my cassettes tapes too! (remember those) -it was from a time when rolling was just rocking! I even found the original princess leia action figure! Haha…ah what emotions we all felt as we filtered through the strata of memories. Mine seemed to always tie to music…coming back to the valley, I shared with Carm a few stories of those moments as we listened to old tapes like lita ford, go-gos, WASP, U2’s Rattle&Hum (OMG what an awesome record), and motley crue… it was like a time machine…it was just too cool talkin about the old days…I remember when my brother in law picked me and my best friend brian in Chinle fall of 1987 to see motley crue at the coliseum in phoenix…(whitesnake was the support act)…we got check out around 12:00noon from HS…traveled down to phx…got dropped off at the fairgrounds…rocked and rolled…go hit by a lady’s shoe in the head...purchased t-shirts…got picked up around midnight…traveled back to the rez…got into chinle at 6 am…slept for an hour…was in homeroom by 8am sporting new concerts shirts…ah yes….HOME SWEET HOME…
