O.K. so here goes. I've been gone, for a long time.... Here's the main reason. I'm a Red Man. Yep, you read it correctly, I haven't been bloggin' for the past few weeks, and it is directly related to the fact that my epidermis has a nice Reddish hue. Still don't get it? O.K., I'll spill the beans - no they're not Red beans, they're brown, (or whatever color the kind of beans that get proverbially spilt are most likely to be) - that's what color they are. Sheesh!
I have alwas been quite proud of the fact that I can claim actual, verifiable ancestral heritage to not one, but two - count'em TWO Native American tribes. I have been on the roll for both in my lifetime. Due to a change in rules that took place when I was younger, one of these tribes did not allow for dual membership, so my mom took my name, and my siblings names off the roll at that time. We maintained our identification with the Ottawa tribe, and I am still a member today.
What on earth does this have to do with blogging, you ask? Be patient. And stop squirming so much..... Where was I? Oh, yes.
Back in 1848 the Ottawa Tribe gave some 40,000 acres of land in Oklahoma to a group who wanted to start an educational institution - which became, Ottawa University. As part of the pact, free education would be granted to any and all members of the tribe. These benefits were recently changed to include graduate programs, and online programs as well.
Thus, I have enrolled in an MBA program. Crazy, ain't it? People have asked me why, and my answer is - 'Cause I can! Actually, I do see God's hand in the whole thing, although I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, I see a lot of value in my studies so far.
(Thanks in part no doubt to my buddies Jason H. and John Hume who graciously made me sound like a worthy individual by providing me with reference letters).
So, I'm not bloging so much lately, and that's the reason. I'm back in school, and it's taking alot of my time and my creative energy.... and why? 'Cause I can!
