Just cause it has black fur and it's small doesn't make it a cat, look for a white stripe........

If you see something big with fur and it looks like a wolf, don't get out of the car.



If I say stop, don't make me chase you dammit! I'll be nice if you stick around.



Beware the Anger of the Irish, there's not much of a difference between loosing your temper and killing someone.



Pizza, Coffee and Beer do not mix!



Fortune favors the bold, but the graveyard if full of idiots.



There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.



And Irishman is the only creature in the world who will step over the bodies of a dozen naked women to get to a bottle of stout, (For Colin)

I guess some of you want to know about me.

I won't tell you my age,

But I'm younger than I look.



I was born into this life. I can't say when I found out what I am, cause for as long as I can remember, I've known. I don't know why.



I'm of Irish Gypsy/ and Cherokee decent. My biological grandmother was full blooded Cherokee, and a daughter of the Red Paint Clan



Before European contact, the clan was the most important affiliation of Cherokees which gave them their place in the tribe and in their world. Clan was passed from a Cherokee mother to her children. In the matrilineal kinship system, a Cherokee woman decided when and whom to marry. She could not marry a member of her mother's clan, who were considered blood relations, no matter how distant. After marriage, a man took his wife's clan. There was of a time when there were 14 Cherokee clans. Over the centuries the Cherokee combined clans and opened them to captives and non-Indians. The tribe settled on the number seven to honor the seven directions: north, south, east, west, up, down, and center.

AniWodi (Red Paint Clan or "Paint" representing DEATH)



In the southeast on the Chickamaugan Stomp Ground sits the Red Paint Clan or "Corn People." Those belonging to this Clan made red paint. Dida:hnvwi:sgi (healers / sorcerers or medicine men) and Adawehi (wisemen) traditionally came from this clan at one time in our history. The Clan Color for the Ani Wodi is White and their wood is Locust. Their flag is black with red stars.



To the last group, The paint Clan, the smallest and most secretive of the groups, was given the responsibility to gather, develop, maintain, and teach the knowledge of life, birth, death, and regeneration, of things kept hidden, of second sight and illusion, including the ceremonies, rituals, and tools there of. They were the only ones that were allowed to make a speial red paint and dye that are used for ceremonial purposes and warfare, because of this they were called the Paint Clan. The Paint Clan (AniWodi) were known for their prominent Medicine People and Conjurors



This clan may have been the smallest, and the last to enter the circle, but they were some of the most powerful in the tribe.



As far as the Irish side goes, I know little.

Some came in through New Orleans and others came in through Savannah sometime in the 1850's. They were fleeing the famine, and it's said that the gypsies suffered the worst, since they were hated by Catholics and Protestants alike.



How these two met, I have no shure way of knowing......

How my condition came about I can only guess. Perhaps an old curse, Lost in time?

Nothing is certain, but I can tell you this

Unlike many, I was born this way.....



I look like a typical "Gypsy goth"

I eat, sleep, and work like a normal person.

I can go about by day

I can eat garlic

I can look at/ wear crosses

I could drink "holy water"

You'd never know what I am unless I told you.
