    The other guys that get to be around Sandra are soooo lucky man. They get to spend time with her, and be around her……I love her always, and the closest I’ve ever been to her so far was about 7 feet away, and then she “disappeared” like a real Ninja. These other guys that get to spend time with her are extremely lucky. Maybe I should apply for a role in one of her upcoming films….then I could be around her, lol. Anyway, since she knows I am in love with her always, someday……….she will let me buy her lunch. I’m going to go see what her next film project is, maybe I’ll land a co-starring role as her Husband. Love always,

    Sandra’s full Heritage is already Documented, and for the record, she is first of all Otoe Indian, because “all” is Otoe Indian firstly, always, and she is German, since she is a female and her Mother was German, and she is American because her Father is American (and her Dad is an American hero too), and though it is well-Documented already, the rest of her Heritage is a “PRIVATE” matter. Just because Sandra is the best girl in the Universe and my eternal Wife doesn’t mean that the public can pry into her private life. If she chooses to reveal her full heritage to the public then that is fine, but until then, those who don’t know her full heritage will just have to wonder. Many do not know it yet, but “all” are Otoe Indian, always. The Otoe Indian Nation is my “first people”, and all are descended from Otoe Indian(s). All has an Otoe Indian name, always. Our hoop is naye’ ever broken. Wayeeeehayyyyy yayeee ahroemayyeee nah som muahnay tre’heey yayee som. Love always, Robert Michael Crofoot, GOD, “White Chief”

    She looks beautiful, always. She’s the most beautiful woman of all, always. Sandra Bullock is the best girl ever possible, always, regardless of all always……….that’s how good she is, and all will never change it. All else except Sandra and I can dream on always about being the best couple in the Universe….that’s an honor for “us only”, always. That’s why we get to be the “Eternal King and Queen of the Universe” baby. We are awesome! Love always,

    Robert Michael Crofoot, GOD
