Fa'alavelave

Nate with the help of the Association organized a (surprise) palagi Fa'alavelave for me. A Fa'alavelave is a traditional Samoan celebration normally associated with funerals or weddings. As I was going off-island, it was my funeral. It started with a funeral procession- we drove around the neighborhood - and cars even pulled over for us. We went to New Guy's place, which they had transformed into a Samoan fale - palms and all. They also made T-shirts. After I got over my initial shock, they started with the presentation of the gifts.Nate served as the High Bullshit Talking Chief and thanked everyone for the wonderful words and gifts. The gifts and food was great, but then, they took it over the top. They presented a Size 2 pig.It was awesome. The feast began. I got to carve the pig.Thank goodness Leti was able to help me out. I had a great time and it was just so amazing that my friends organized this for me. It was the best send off I could have imagined.

Waaaaah! I'm so sorry I missed the Funeral (I'll go to your next one, promise!)

I heard there was lots of male nipple licking, hmmm
the pig is a little scary too

but otherwise what a blast!

I wanted to share my experience with the High Court of American Samoa, and specifically its Chief Justice Kruse. My ex-wife fled to AS with our young son in 2000, shortly after I had been awarded custody. Judge Kruse then illegally overturned the rulings of two Sister State District Courts, effectively assisting in the commission of felony kidnapping and Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution. The Montana Supreme Court ultimately overturned his decision, but by then, the damage he and the High Court had inflicted upon my Son was already done. I had heard before appearing before the court that he was extremely unethical and corrupt, and unfortunately, this proved to be completely accurate. It has now been over 8 years since I last had any contact with my Son, and sadly, my Father passed away last year. Kruse has been a key player in preventing my Son from knowing his Grandfather, along with many other members of his paternal family. And considering he has also been an active participant in the child abuse of my Son, many believe CJ Kruse should be in jail.
