That's it--I'm so embarrassed by a certain news report that I'm ditching my spirit name, Riverwolf. Why, you ask? What cataclysmic event would cause me to take this drastic action?
Naturally, those media whores Spencer and Heidi Pratt have now adopted Native American spirit names! That's right, the same couple who have so flaunted their "Christianity" that Jesus himself has become an atheist to save face are now calling themselves White Wolf (Heidi) and Running Bear (Spencer).
The whole spectacle has outraged some Native American groups, and I'm right here with them. If I for a moment believed that any of this was sincere, I'd back 'em up--but I don't. I don't know what kind of crazy train these 2 are running, but it is out of control. And if you're scratching your head because you have no idea who I'm talking about--you have been blessed, my child. Take pride in your ignorance!
I'm sure some Native Americans would also have a problem with me calling myself "Riverwolf." However, I'm not claiming it's an authentic Native name of any sort. It simply came to me in a dream, I diligently try to live out what that name symbolizes for me, and I don't go bragging about it to everyone I know! And barely anyone in the "real world" even knows about it. I completely doubt the Pratt's motivations, and it mocks all those of us who have taken similar names as an expression of something we try and live out with integrity every damn day.
And look at me, sitting here trying to justify my name because of Heidi and Spencer! Ack! (But no, I'm really not changing my spirit name because of these 2 goobers.)

I don't know who they are so I guess I'm lucky in that respect. But they do at least look like plastic dolls with equally fake ideas.
ewww.
do not defend yourself. it's about respect. you have it, they don't.
most especially for themselves. wouldn't it be considered borderline psychopathic to have that strong of a desire/need for attention???
having said that - i do love tmz! lol
:)
Livia: I feel similarly fortunate that I don't know who those people are.
Oh, Heidi and Spencer annoy me more than a boil on my ass. Their faux Christianity makes me want to vomit.
I was so annoyed with them on that reality show where they had to try and survive in the jungle. I heard they might be getting a divorce--Then we'd have to listen to the divorce proceedings for months on end in the news.
Don't worry too much about them adopting Native American names, I'm sure they'll be on to Buddhism, then onto Islam before settling on some cult in no time.
I do feel slightly guilty for knowing who Spencer and Heidi are--and yet it's like a car accident. I can't turn away!
