About me: If you are looking for the Raleigh, NC band, Love Newton, they are at myspace.com/lovenewton
I'm mixed blood Scottish/Lakhota American Indian (nDn), so my face is part shaved, part beard. The back hair is growing long, the front is trimmed. My mixed heritage has a mixed look.
I am a scientist (Technical Fellow), published author (mysteries and thrillers), published symphonic composer, painter, ceramicist, sculptor, and about two degrees of freedom from normal.
I have packed at least three lifetimes into the one I now am living. Most people who hear my life story tell me "Bullshit! Nobody can have done all that!" It's all true, except the culturally required embellishments. Read
my bio at my author & composer web site .
"Reach for the stars. Even if you fail, you will have climbed to a great height."

I've lived all over the USA, and travelled widely abroad. I was born in Dallas Methodist Hospital, but grew up in southern California.
You are 91% REAL Texan!!
High five, you're a complete Texan.
Live Large, Pardner!
I now live in the Eastport District of Annapolis, Maryland -- we're called Eastportoricans by the locals -- with my mentor/partner/wife Nance, a very talented multi-media artist.
Here's some reality! The truth from a Lakhota forced into nDn boarding school as a kid, and how he was brainwashed into feeling ashamed that he is nDn. Imagine if somebody tried to do that to any other ethnic group in the US. Everyone would condemn it!

And now, a beautiful nDn song:
Who I'd like to meet: You, readers, authors, musicians, painters, poets, artists, actors, nDns (American Indians) especially Lakhota, Nakhota, and Dakhota, fellow Marines, anyone in or out of uniform, misfits of science (like me), people who knew me in a past life, including previous episodes of this one, stranger than fictions, and all the folks I miss from my home planet.
I just read your profile and found it interesting....loved the 2 degrees from normal. Lakota from what tribe? I'm full Dakota from the Spirit Lake Sioux Nation in ND. lol also loved the blog about what to say to ppl when they ask the top 10 ignorant questions to a native. funny stuff.
Hello my friend, its been a long while, but i never forget friends. I wanted to wish you a Happy Independence Day to you and your family. May you always be blessed with Happiness and Joy. Always in my Thoughts and Prayers. Have a Great Day! native Jules.
Thank you for the friendship. I would like to invite you to check out my fiction blog. I post free stories on a regular basis as a way of introducing new readers to my work.
