Lonely and Blue

Heart of Neytiri
(A Poem for Neytiri Sully)

In the shade of Hometree’s bough,
Where ancient spirits murmur now,
I walk the path my people tread,
With whispers of the lost and dead.
I am Neytiri, fierce and free,
With strength as wild as land and sea.

My heart beats with the forest’s song,
A rhythm deep, both fierce and long,
I know each leaf, each creature’s way,
And feel Eywa in night and day.
But in the shadows, strange yet pure,
A spirit comes—both strong and unsure.

He walks in skin not his own,
A soul uprooted, yet not alone,
A warrior heart, a broken name,
And in his eyes I see the same
Fire that in my spirit lies,
In distant worlds, in storm-lit skies.

Oh, Great Mother, guide my hand,
As I teach him of this sacred land,
For I have loved in spirit’s light,
And fought for all I know is right.
Bound by blood, by sky, by sea—
I am Neytiri, wild and free.

And though I know love’s cost and pain,
I would walk with him through fire, through rain,
For I am the huntress, fierce and true,
In love’s embrace, born anew.

Blue Jeans & A Rosary

The rosary and the Psalms are both significant in Christian prayer and tradition, though they serve slightly different purposes and are often used in different contexts.

The Rosary

The rosary is a form of prayer and meditation primarily used in Catholicism. It consists of a string of beads and a crucifix, and each bead represents a prayer. The rosary prayers typically include:

  • The Apostles’ Creed at the crucifix.
  • Our Father on the larger beads.
  • Hail Mary on each of the smaller beads.
  • Glory Be and Fatima Prayer after each decade.
  • Finally, Hail, Holy Queen at the end of the rosary.

The prayer cycle focuses on the life of Jesus and Mary, with different “mysteries” (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous) meditated upon for each decade (set of ten Hail Marys).

Psalms

The Psalms are 150 poetic prayers from the Bible, expressing a range of emotions and situations—from praise and thanksgiving to sorrow and petition. They’re part of the Jewish and Christian biblical traditions and are often used in personal and communal prayer.

  • In Catholic Liturgy: Psalms are a key part of the Liturgy of the Hours and are also included in Mass.
  • In the Rosary: While not traditionally part of the rosary prayers, some people incorporate Psalms into their rosary meditation or reflection.

Nelly Furtado was known for embracing True Religion jeans during the height of their popularity, especially in the 2000s. She often combined the jeans’ bold, distinctive stitching and flared or bootcut styles with a laid-back yet chic vibe that matched her unique, eclectic musical style. Some elements of her iconic looks with True Religion jeans included:

  • Statement Tops: She’d often pair her jeans with fitted, graphic tees, cropped tops, or even edgy jackets for that 2000s flair.
  • Accessories: Furtado often accessorized with chunky belts, hoop earrings, or layered necklaces, adding a hip-hop or R&B edge to her look.
  • Footwear: She was known to style her jeans with heels or boots, giving the flared denim a polished touch.

This style came back into trends recently, with vintage True Religion jeans becoming highly sought after for a nostalgic 2000s look.

CONCLUSION

I was a JERK, but I didn’t fuck around.

Hating and Mad

Homer Simpson becoming “Stonecutter 912” is from The Simpsons episode titled “Homer the Great” (Season 6, Episode 12). In this episode, Homer discovers the Stonecutters, a secret society with perks and privileges for its members. After joining as member #912, he finds out that his fellow members are hiding many benefits and luxuries around town. This membership brings Homer power and respect, especially after it’s revealed he bears a birthmark identifying him as “The Chosen One” in the society’s ancient prophecy.

It’s a hilarious take on secret societies and the allure of exclusivity, especially for Homer, who finally feels important. And, of course, there’s the unforgettable Stonecutters’ Anthem, which adds to the absurdity of it all.

CONCLUSION

The day after 9/11, 9/12, was when NF threw me under the Conspiracy bus, so of course I am hating and mad.
