This week was the season finale of Navajo Cops and I missed it! I'm not sure how many of you out there were in the same twilight zone I was in but when I checked the TV guide it was all about how to survive an apocalypse or something of the sort.

Puberty sucks. I don’t know about everyone else but puberty was an awkward part of my life. I didn’t believe growing pains were real until my back and legs decided to grow a couple inches practically overnight.

Every other day or so I’ll make a 20-plus minute drive to Farmington, N.M. the closest border town to the Navajo reservation in my neck of the woods.
The approximate 15-mile stretch has rolling hills with small businesses along side the road and just as you make the final stretch into the edge of the city there it is. On the right hand side, alone, big, beautifully lit at night, though surrounded by dirt and plenty of mobile homes.
It’s the Navajo Nation’s third and newest casino, Northern Edge Navajo Casino.

BIXBY, Okla.---- Johnny Depp will play Tonto in Disney's version of "The Lone Ranger" due out in 2013. Well, that's old news. The news that is buzzing around the internet is pictures of him dressed up as the sidekick and Armie Hammer is listed to be playing the Lone Ranger. Hammer's recent roles include playing the Winklevoss twins in "Social Network" and Clyde Tolson in Clint Eastwood's drama “J. Edgar”. Based on previous films I have seen these two in, albeit seperately, I do believe that this movie may actually work.

Isn’t it every little girl’s dream to fall in love, get married and live happily ever after? I know it was mine and still is minus the whole sappy aspect of it. However, according to new data released by the U.S. Census Bureau Native Americans hold the highest percentage of unmarried partner households.

The first and last time I was on a skateboard I landed on my butt after two seconds of attempting to skate. One minute I was on the board and the next I was staring at the sky with shoots of pain all over my body. My bruised butt and ego decided right then and there that skateboarding was not for me.
