I'm a Native American stand-up comedian. My Lakota name is Wakinyan Mato. My father's people are Rosebud & Standing Rock Lakota and my mother's people are Choctaws from lower Oklahoma. Also I'm singer/songwriter in a band called GhostDance [we're considering changing the name again...so far no good names come to mind except Crap Band 505--we think there may be copyright issues], formerly from L.A. now living in London, UK where we record and perform live music. These days, I do mostly stand-up comedy in the Greater London area and Amsterdam, the Netherlands; also Impro shows and the occasional acting for the stage and tv, where I usually play an ndn... Go figure.

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should drool!
..
Persons of similar interests: music, art, culture, politics (middle o' the road, not fanatical, hysterical or funda-mental) 70's cinema, comedy ...
Other people i'd like to meet: intellegent and witty comedians and promoters, a few skinz from back home who know how to cook fry bread, having stimulating conversations over coffee, moderately exciting nights with wine, weed and song; persons of cultural integrety, women into casual sex, non-obnoxous eclectic thinking people of all cultures, creeds and shapes with non-lethal sense of humour.(example: "Hey what's that on your shirt?" Then procede to hit them in the head with a mallet--this can create a bit of social animosity and flatulance which may add to global warming)
turn-offs: career twats, pushy greedy people and designer-dreadlocked tree-hugging hippies who try to look ethnic in berkenstocks (with the exception of Prince Charles.)
The blue birds do not have to look for distant countries. The blue bird is still with us, if we love each other, and we're happy life even the smallest gifts. But I always fly away, If you hurt one another, if you watch with envy the pleasure of others. Because the blue bird of happiness itself, and the cage, the human heart. Happy New Year.. Have a wonderful day...Hugs and Love..Valéria

......

I love all music besdides just Powwow Northern Drum. There is also Southern Drum. I like wasichu music from Alboni's Adaggio to Pink Floyd to the Monkees to Count Basie to 80s pop to very hard rock. Lately I been listening to a lot of ambient electronica...i listened to Ozric Tenticles, but now I regret it.
I'll tolerate country + western and opera but only if it involves being nekkid in a trailer with the Dixie Chicks or Lesley Garrett dressed as a Valkyrie. ahh romance! ****
Now here's some good ambient music from my Radio Station called Bearthunder's Global Chillage. It features mostly listener content but there's a lot of talented people out there making music; and so to calm your nerves and drift away to another space, sit back and let it play for awhile....
Fav movies: Powwow Highway, Smoke Signals, Broken Flowers with Bill Murray; Dude Where's My Car, Raisin Arizona, Goin South, Rykevik 101, Pulp Fiction, The Graduate, Annie Hall, the Four Seasons, At Play in the Fields of the Lord, Thunderheart, the Outlaw Josie Wales, Blazing Saddles or anything by Mel Brooks.
Radio Interview with
Television
Comedy Central, EuroNews; Life On Mars (BBC)
South Park, Everybody Hates Chris, My Name is Earl, Cheers, Frasier, Father Ted, The Office (UK) Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder I-II-II-IV, Vicar of Dibley (awww), Have I Got News For You, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Red Dwarf, Ally McBeal (season 1&2) Becker, Stand-up comedy shows.
I hate "reality" shows like Big Brother, Pop Idol or Temptation Island. They only exploit peoples' stupidity for public enjoyment; [That's MY job!] It wasn't right when they did it as children in primary school, so it still isn't right to perpetuate social stupidity. So there!
I LOVED Rowen & Martins laugh In when I was a kid. I blame my outlook on life on them.
