This blog comes orginally from ” Trail of Tears”

(The introduction is about the fact I like a picture very much as it went well with my page,
you can see it below.)
If I haven’t post anything lately, it has all to do with the fact that I like the horse’s picture so much.
O! I can always find a thing or 2 to say.
No worries about that.
Since I read that fantastic book of Julia Cameron,
I am never short about what I could create or recreate.
And I am never short either of words, either of topics.
Like this one:
Many a woman I know have develop a kind of fixation on Johnny Depp.
And honestly, I always find him very Indian like looking,
so what do you think about that?
I think he is a good actor too and has a kind of humor I appreciate.
Well, yeah, sure, he is good looking too.
What were you expecting me to say?
Even if I think good looks have never mean you were automatically a good actor.
Personally I find DiCaprio is NOT good looking,
never found that.
Strange looking, yes.
But what an actor.
But to my knowledge he is just like me,
not one drop of Indian blood
so I’ll drop the subject.
My question is…
Yes, I have a question…
Which American actor is Indian?
Yes!
A simple as that.
The Blacks,
I can see plainly by myself,
but the Indians,
I am only guessing.
And I could be as wrong as possible.
If you would not know otherwise,
I bet you could say Jackie Chan is one….
I found that:

This blog is just meant to vent the sadness all around…
( one of my best pals there lost a son and we all share her sadness,
last years, in that quite knitten community,
2 others lost their in a span of one week)

Hey, look what I found after a googling search!
I thought so…

Johnny’s Cherokee heritage comes from both sides of his family, but is particularly strong on his mother’s side. Johnny’s great-grandmother, Minnie, was a full-blooded Cherokee. He also has Irish and German ancestry. He discussed his ethnicity in a television interview in 2002:
Interviewer: Indian origins?
Johnny Depp: Yeah, I’m a sort of –
Interviewer: Cherokee?
Johnny Depp: Yeah, I’m a mixture of all sorts of things.
Interviewer: German, Irish?
Johnny Depp: Yeah. Pu-pu platter, yeah. Combination of weird things. Indian, Irish, German and god knows what. Just a mutt, really.

Don’t ask me why he wears what is like a sioux head.

Once upon a tale…

Posted in friends, gifts on January 16, 2009 by clartedubois
Mon FLeur Eyes...
Once upon a time…
A New Year tale, a New Year Gift…
Into the inbetweeness:
The Eastern and Western New Years..
So, once upon a time, at yahoo there were many…
Hitches, or is it glitches?
So much so, that many Yahootians decided to emigrate.
They found places, of course.
Easier emigration than in true life!
No Schengen there, no tolls, no planes, no visas, no passport!
Only passwords!
About those places:
Some are nicer than others.
Or they suit you better!
For my part, I found ipernity, ning,
and some, many, many others.
(And now, after leaving it a while ago, I found Facebook back!)
I was following my friends, you see.
Not always such a good idea.
Because, just like in “true” life,
maybe even on a higher degree,
friendships on the net can be very taxing.
Some people never get out of their troubles,
whatever you say, whatever you do!
So, after a while, as it was not working for me, I left some.
But I kept some too.
I left one at Ning.
There, me, a little poor Belgian…
Yeah! A Princess, me?
(private joke, sorryyyy!)
I met a Horse Whisperer.
Then and there, I did not realised he was that, though.
No, in my eyes, he was only a kind young man.
With a sad story.
Then, he invited me at his place: Jim’s.
I think he couldn’t really find his turn at the other meeting place…
Just like me.
Though, for a long while, I hesitated to accept his invitation,
as I was engaged…
And the relationship,
very difficult then,
didn’t allowed me either time on the net,
either men-friends…
But at the long last, I relented.
And never regret it!
It is one of the places I won’t leave if heaven permit it!
As there I was to meet my lil Chinese Princess.
Yessssssssss! You!
( sorry, privat joke, again!! It is all about and around, my friend Jo!)
Elsewhere on ning too, to be honest.
And this is by that strange way that at the long last, we became also friends at yahoo.
For the other blog’s readers:
As some of you know, I had many sites there…
and I can tell you she has a huge one too!
Now, we are connected at 2 places and at 3 at Ning.
There, via British or Americans
as well as on the trail of those
who are Native Americans or from mixed ancestry.
So, not so long ago,
Jo with her flower’s Eyes and me,
Lakota Moon,
(I know that by now, you are lost: this im my Indian Name…
I have always been taken by Sitting Bull.
Many people know he was a Sioux.
To be precise, he was a Hunkpapa, Lakota, Dakota Sioux!
Hence my Indian name.
Luna or Louna Twist is one of my pseudo,
also the name of a Belgian pop group from the 80!)
by a lunar twist,
we fell under the spell of a Red Cloud!
Who is, no secret there, our famous Horse Whisperer.
( no, of course not, nothing to do with either Redford,
Red, yes, but not forded,
or Nicholas Evans!
Only, that Red Cloud, like the famous Indian Chief,
has a special relationship with horses! Point!
And with people too!)
My other friends there are a Donna, a White Eagle,
a Desert Fox, a Cactus Flower
and a kind Barry loving shoes sort of man…
And my Chinese Princess.
Which just like me has not a drop of Indian blood,
but also doesn’t live in her native country.
As I live a lot in Morocco,
she lives always in Malaysia.
And this has to be followed..
Sorry, Jo (the Chinese Princess)! It ain’t funny.
The picture comes from Mon Fleur Eyes ( pseudo of the Chinese Princess!) as you can plainly see it!

With a special thank to you, Jim…
By the way, I found a James Lehman (true name of Jim, Horse Whisperer, Red Cloud!) on youtube, a specialist in education for difficult children…
Strange.
Blog from yahoo!

Honestly, I have a lot of fun doing that kind of nonsensical blogs.
And an immense pleasure to post it in different places…
Pour toi aussi. Joelle, ma plus fidèle lectrice à myspace…
