To my friends, family, acquaintances and you: Here I am, tickling your cyber-brain . . .

How do you like me now?
|
I am Rose Rodriguez. I was born in Los Angeles, California on May 3, 1978. You do the math on how old I am. I lived in Los Angeles, CA forever. I also lived on my reservation in Benton, CA and later in Bishop, CA.
I am currently a student attending a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) institution, Haskell Indian Nations University (Lawrence,KS), hence the munkee at the typewriter. I am currently seeking an American Indian Studies bachelor's degree.
I am a sister, aunt, daughter, friend, lover and poet (perhaps one of these days I will put some poetry on the web). I consider myself a critical thinker and I hopefully you are too (otherwise you may want to look for someone else to get to know because I don't want feeble minds clouding my atmosphere...)

C.R.E.A.M. Cash Rules Everything Around Me
|
POWER. Either you have it or you don't. Some people run things and others are run over. There is a revolution of sorts coming on within our generation. As a good friend of mine says, some people make things happen, some people watch things happen and others never knew what happened. I make things happen. Someday, I will be leading and you will be beside me or behind me. You choose.
