I am an Indian... a cowboy with the big hat and boots is just a myth (or a nonexistent ideal), where the Indians were just plain folk working and trying to get by. 2. music is able to reach me when nothing else can. Elvis can bring me back from the dead. 3. sleep is good for me. I need 7 or 8 hours a night. 4. my parents should have ... is a strong statement. They are well meaning people. I'd have appreciated it if they impressed on me a regular homework routine during high school, and forced me to apply to a good school. If they gave me some ideas on what I should be when I grew up, that'd be nice too... or even better, show me the jobs... 5. television is bad. Almost all of it. I'll make some exceptions for documentaries on public TV. The rest of it is just skinny people alternated with hamburger commercials. 030214 ... frAnk 1. i am a cowboy in the sense of having animals to raise, care for, and profit from. and an indian on those days kate and i spend in the woods, sleeping on straw in our wooden hut, making love to only the sound of crackling fires and snorting deer. 2. music is the perpetual rhythm of the spirit of creation. 3. sleep is one way we can visit parallel worlds. 4. my parents should have loved each other when my brother and i were young like they did right before my father died. 5. television is like a bag of cheap potato chips. the problem is i can never eat just one fucking handful. 030215 ... unhinged 1. i am an indian still looking for the rest of her tribe. 2. music is the only thing that never betrays me. 3. sleep is sounding so good right now. 'i've come to the conclusion that mozart was a dick' 4. my parents should have, should have, could have, would have; they may have given me problems, but we all give each other problems. at least i always knew that these problems were based in love. 5. television is a slowly curable disease and a friend that lets you stay as long as you want. 030215 ... girl_jane 1. are you a cowboy or an indian? why? 2. music is..................... 3. sleep is........................ 4. my parents should have............... 5. television is...................................... 1. I am a cow*girl* because I was born in Texas, and so that automatically makes me a cowgirl. However, I am an Indian as well because I have a common respect for all living things. I feel bad when I step on a spider... 2. music is an expression of living. It reminds me that I am human; I'm living; I'm feeling. 3. sleep is always something different-needed, wanted, annoying and time consuming, comforting-ALWAYS best when shared with one special person. 4. my parents should have learned not to hate each other. I am not taking sides. 5. television is occasionally entertaining. I've let myself get sucked into the hype of American Idol. I've even been voting... 030215 ... girl_jane Why didn't the first part delete...damn 030215 ... Lilac 1. Im Indian. Its in the blood line. 2. music is something I couldn't even dream of living without. 3. sleep is only good when I can dream. 4. my parents should have made wiser decisions. 5. television is something I think everyone could use less of. 030215 ... krimilda 1) Acowboy because living in a teepee (do you spell it like this?) is not my style 2) Music is all around, all the time... thank God 3)Sleep is the reason i'm on earth for 4)My parents should have been hippies or smoked pot 5)Televison is not as fun as it was when i was 12 030216 ... megan 1. are you a cowboy or an indian? why? i am a cowboy. 'nuff said :-) 2. music is..................... inspiring 3. sleep is........................ overrated 4. my parents should have............... taught me to be less scared 5. television is...................................... a waste when you can have the internet. 030216 ... niska 1. the indian. the life of the indian, compared to that of the cowboy, seems more practical somehow. i'd love to belong to a society that still searches for meaning and deeper spiritual truth while maintaining a loving, supportive community. the balance between absolute personal freedom, and diligent responsibility to one's self, community and the earth, was valued. and the philosophical views held and explored by the people, stem from our very core of existence as intelligent beings. they didn't have guns when the cowboys found them; they didn't need them until the cowboys got there. 2. music is a way to share emotions without having to speak. probably the closest we'll ever get to telepathy [the action of one mind on another, at a distance]. 3. sleep is rewarding 4. my parents should have, or rather could have, said no a lot more to us when we were kids, because it's hard to get used to hearing it now. i guess there just comes a time to cut the apron strings, and i'll just have to pay for my own accountant... 5. television is crap. read a book. 030420 ... pipedream are you a cowboy or an indian? why? i'm an indian wearing a cowboy hat. best of both worlds. 2. music is......... pabulum 3. sleep is.................all in the pillows 4. my parents should have.........bought me a car a long time ago :P 5. television is.........a waste of time, i agree with niska: read a book. better yet, go to the park. 030421 ... sixteen 1. are you a cowboy or an indian? why? I am a cowboy, because indian in reference to native americans isn't very politically correct. 2. music is beautiful expression 3. sleep is necessary and feels good. 4. my parents should have divorced a little later...maybe my mom wouldnt have met mark. 5. television is ok sometimes, but a lot of it is junk. 030603 ... Borealis 1. are you a cowboy or an indian? why? I am an indian..because I'm the one who hides in the shadows. the one who was hurt a long time ago..tricked..and now takes it out on everyone else. 2. music is life. and a very effective opiate. simple as that 3. sleep is a nice distraction 4. my parents should have never met. 5. television is the bane of my existence and the delerium of the masses 040314 ... white_wave 1. I am not an Indian from the country of India. But sometimes I wish I were because that place fascinates me. 2. Music is my obsession. Music is my business. Music pays me but I would do it for free also. 3. Sleep is sometimes not as pleasing as a little more time blathering. 4. My parents should have had another child. I never got to find out what it's like to have a brother. 5. Television is really stupid these days. If you want to see a reality show, turn off the tube, open your eyes and look around. 040314 ... pete 1. are you a cowboy or an indian? why? I am a pete, as my parents and life have made me so. I want to live on the land in the traditional lands of the Ojibwa though 2. music is a safe haven in the stormy blizzards of the dying days of my teenagehood. 3. sleep is warm, comfortable, full of dreams with a million meanings, yet i usually dream of things that are not true, and wake wondering where they went. 4. my parents should have.. well.. for having 6 kids I think they did a good job, especially as we are not wealthy in anysense of the term. just lucky (though that may be in compinsation for the bad luck which made me and my siblings 5 instead of 6 oh so long ago). 5. television is pure evil, annoying, the giver of headaches, and the drainer of minds 040314 ... Doar 1. are you a cowboy or an indian? why? i was immediately going to say indian, but deep down i always wanted to be the fastest gun in the west just like buffalo bill. don't know if he was a kboy or not though. 2. music is engaging and infectious 3. sleep is always beyond the edge of my eyelids. 4. my parents should have gone out for pizza that night. 5. television is just there. either watch or don't. i personally don't watch much. too much to read. 050715 ... p2 1. are you a cowboy or an indian? why? cowboy, by default. i don't think i'm very good with nature. 2. music is... beyond my abilities 3. sleep is... a good escape 4. my parents should have... invested in more real estate 5. television is... also a good escape 050729 ... tessa 1. are you a cowboy or an indian? why do we have to chose? 2. music is essential, ethereal 3. sleep is the best part of my day 4. my parents should have been happy, in theory 5. television is good company 070923 ... green tshirt 1. i'm a part indian cowgirl 2. music is the one thing we all have in common 3. sleep is what our reality is defined against 4. my parents should have bought curtains instead of blinds 5. television is a much maligned and much loved medium 070923 what's it to you? who go blather from
