DOING BEADWORK FOR OTHER PEOPLE, SEWING UP A STORM FOR THE NEXT POW-WOW, LISTENING TO MUSIC, WATCHING TV, HANGING OUT WITH MY GOD-SISTER SHAWNELL AKA JOIE.
Music
ALMOST ABOUT EVERYTHING. R&B, A LIL BIT OF HIP-HOP, COUNTRY...LOL. BLUE COLLAR (GET HER DONE..HAHA), POP, OLDIES, 80'S, 70'S, ETC, ETC
Movies
I LOVE ALL MOVIES. HORROR, COMEDY, ROMANCE....HAHA.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WATCHING THE WORKS OF TYLER PERRY, HIS CHARACTER OF MADEA IS THE BEST THING TO COME ALONG. PERSONALLY I THINK HIS PLAYS ARE MORE BETTER THAN HIS MOVIES.
Television
I LIKE TO WATCH A VARIETY OF THINGS ON T.V. RECENTLY MOST OF MY FAVORITES HAVE BEEN ON ABC FAMILY CHANNEL. SUCH AS WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU, THE SECRET LIFE OF AN AMERICAN TEENAGER, KYLE XY, WILD FIRE. OTHER SHOWS I LIKE TO WATCH ARE SMALLVILLE, TYRA BANKS SHOW, LIVING SINGLE, FAMILY GUY. OH YEAH DIY CHANNEL HAS SOME AWESOME SHOWS. YOU CAN GET GREAT TIPS ON HOW TO DO CRAFTS. THERE ARE CERTAIN PROGRAMS THAT SHOW HOW TO SEW CERTAIN PROJECTS LIKE CLOTHING AND QUILTS, AND IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER WITH A SEWING MACHINE ITS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN HOW TO USE UR SHOWING MACHINE. OTHER CHANNELS ARE BET, MTV, MTV2, VH-1.

About me:
AS OF JUNE 2009:
HELLO ALL, MY NAME IS DARREN ALTAHA, I AM WHITE MOUNTAIN APACHE FROM HON-DAH APACHE DAWN, AZ. I GREW UP MOST OF MY LIFE ON THE REZ. I HAVE 2 AWESOME PARENTS THAT I AM VERY MUCH THANKFUL FOR. 3 SIBS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY WHENEVER I GET THE CHANCE TO SEE THEM OR TALK WITH THEM. RECENTLY GRADUATED WITH MY A.A. DEGREE IN HEALTH EDUCATION WITH A MINOR IN SPEECH COMMUNICATION FROM HASKELL INDIAN NATIONS UNIVERSITY IN LAWRENCE, KS. AT 1ST I WAS A BIT SKEPTIC ON GOING TO HASKELL, SINCE ITS KNOWN TO SOME PEOPLE FOR BEING A SCHOOL THAT PARTIES, BUT HEY, ITS ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU MAKE IT. AND AS FOR ME I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ANY OF THE SURROUNDING PARTY/DRAMA SPOTS THAT I HEAR ABOUT EVERYDAY. SINCE COMING TO HASKELL I'VE ACCOMPLISHED AND ENCOUNTERED MANY NEW THINGS. MADE LOTS OF NEW DISCOVERIES ABOUT MYSELF THROUGH MY SURROUNDINGS. SUCH AS MY INTEREST IN HEALTH EDUCATION, ITS A NEW FOUND PASSION THAT I LOVE RESEARCHING ABOUT. I ALSO FOUND THAT I LIKE TO RESEARCH HISTORY, PARTICULARLY NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY. I WORK UNDER THE COLLEGE WORK-STUDY PROGRAM IN THE HASKELL LIBRARY AT THE FRONT DESK, ASSISTING ANYONE THAT'S IN NEED OF FINDING A BOOK, CHECKING OUT A BOOK, OR ANYTHING THAT IS RELATED TO RESEARCH. I HAVE AWESOME CO-WORKERS THAT KEEP ME UP ON MY 'A' GAME AT WORK, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I'M A STUDENT. MY LEAST FAVORITE SUBJECT IS MATH, AND MY FAVORITE SUBJECT WOULD HAVE TO BE CREATIVE WRITING AND SPEECH COMMUNICATIONS. I ALSO HAVE ADOPTED FAMILY HERE AT HASKELL, THEY ALSO KEEP ME IN CHECK LIKE ANY PARENTS WOULD. WHEN I FIND THE TIME I OCCUPY MYSELF IN MY BEADWORK, NOT REALLY TAKING ORDERS AT THE MOMENT, JUST EVERY NOW AND THEN. AND WHEN THERE'S A POWWOW ON THE WEEKENDS I DON'T HESITATE TO JUST PUSH EVERYTHING ASIDE AND GO JAM OUT..HEHE. BUT THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT THE PAGE AND SAFE TRAVELS TO YOU.
