My name is Jeff - but you can call me "Runs With Cats". I am part Cherokee, and I live in southern California, I'm 42 years old. I'm interested in knowing more about my heritage and parhaps meet some new people and make a few new friends along the way. I enjoy bicycle riding, in fact, I will be living outdoors in about a month on my bike (or my horse as I call it) with my cat "[Igmu] = cat in Lakota". I also enjoy bow hunting, playing guitar, I recently took up playing the NAF = native american flute and I'm injoying it. I love NA arts and crafts, I make peace pipes, but may branch off to learn to make other NA crafts. Thats all I can think of for now...there is one more thing perhaps I should touch on....
Perhpas I should get my spiritual views (or lack of) out of the way since it seem to be an issue in another NA forum I was a member of. A woman in the other forum asked where we came from - so, I explained to her using science and astro-physics how the universe began, my post was deleted (the moderators are behaving like a white man). I am an atheist - I dont believe in "spirits" or "gods" or the supernatual - if you can't provide me empirical evedence that supports what you believe I simply wont believe you.
Please don't take this as a "chip on my shoulder" - I was a christian/buddhist for many many years before I got to were I am now, I know where you are coming from, and why you believe what you do - point is, I respect your beliefs, believe whatever you want, I really don't care, I'm not going to try to change you or tell you your wrong - in fact I try to avoid religious spiritual topics because I don't agree with them. At the same time, I hope you will respect my beliefs as well. If any of this is a problem for anyone including moderators, I would like to know now so I can delete my account.
Peace,
