Ok, I never post chat logs but this one I just had to post.  This conversation came from IM while I was DJing at the Crown tonight.

Gave me a good giggle.   Any ladies out there wanting his name, drop me an IM.

It’s Christmas Eve and as I wait for my family to arrive for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner I wanted to take a couple minutes and wish you all a wonderful holiday.  No matter what holiday you celebrate my hope is that it’s joyous one.

If you are traveling, be safe.  If you are staying home, enjoy the holidays with those you love.  Whether you are in the snowy north or down under on a beach, enjoy the time with your family and loved ones.  Christmas may be only one day, but it’s the feeling you keep in your heart that makes it that much more special.

I want to send a special wish of happiness and joy to those I hold dear.  You know who you are and you know how much you mean to me.  The past year has had it’s ups and downs for all of us.  Through it all we’ve been there for each other.  I could never have done it without you all so thank you. 

In a few days I’ll be another year older and we will ring in a new year.  I’ve no idea if 2009 will be better than 2008 but I do know that it will be what we make of it.

One of my favorite quotes, “Tomorrow is a brand new day with no mistakes in it” can just as easily be applied to the new year.  “Next year is a brand new year with no mistakes in it”.

I raise my glass to all of you and wish you a wonderful, safe, happy and healthy holiday!

Cheers!

I apologize up front, this is a longish post. If you read all the way to the end though, I think you’ll have a good laugh.

Most of us collect quotes.  Whether it’s a pic in our profile or a series of notecards we keep.  Below are just a few that I’ve collected over the last 2 years.  It’s by no means a complete list, just the ones I want to share.  If you have any you’d like to share, leave a comment!

*warning, those easily offended, stop reading.

Yep, new blog template.   Like it? 

See when you break your blog(you can stop laughing now), it’s an excellent time to make a new one and since I wanted to a new one anyway…

No, I didn’t break the blog on purpose.  Really, I didn’t.  Was totally an accident. 

I’ll thank Prad again though for not only fixing it but making this awesome new one for me.   You rawk dude!

Fear .  It’s gripped all of us at one time or another.   Whether it’s a fear of heights, spiders or any number of other tangible things we are all afraid of something.   Reluctantly we’ll admit to these things because we know that the person we are admitting it to has a similar fear of their own.   If your afraid of spiders, having the person who isn’t afraid of spiders tell you it’s in your head, it’s irrational and to get over it is not helpful.  Of course that person is deathly afraid of heights and will not go anywhere near a window over 5ft off the ground.   To you, this is irrational and in their head because you jump out of perfectly good airplanes.

We all have our fears.  Some of us confront them straight on in the hope of taming them so that we can live our life without this gripping fear that prevents us from living life to the fullest.  Some of us simply learn to work around them.  We make do with what we’ve got.

What about those intangible fears though?  The ones that you can’t point to and say, “see I’m terrified of that”.   These are the most crippling emotions.  These are the ones we won’t admit to.   Admitting to them strips a layer of shadow and wall from us and lets the world see inside us.   At least a small piece.  It also makes us vulnerable.  Vulnerable to anyone who wants to take advantage of us.  Admitting these fears gives them an open door.

Fear .  The new theme for the Gallery of Light.  I asked the artists to show me their fears.   I asked them to bare a little piece of their souls for us.  The meaning behind each photo is their own.  It is up to them to share or not that meaning.

My entry is attached to this post.  My fear:  Being alone.  As everyone who knows me knows, I am single in RL as well as SL.   This is my choice and most of the time I am happy with it.   As the holidays approach though it becomes more and more difficult to be completely happy not having anyone to share all of this with.   I have wonderful friends and a loving family but it’s not the same.   I’ve been single in SL now for the longest period of time since joining 2 years ago.   Quite frankly, I was thrilled to finally be single again.  I was finally able to do what I wanted, when I wanted and how I wanted.   With all of that comes Loneliness though.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to get married in SL again, I don’t even want to partner someone for romantic reasons again.  I do crave the companionship, the someone to cuddle with, share a funny moment or just talk to.   I love knowing someone is their waiting for me, waiting to share the latest news, a dance at the Crown and Pearl or just a cuddle on the couch and talk.  I will laugh it off with my friends saying that it doesn’t bother me, I’m happy as I am, I don’t need anyone but them but none of that is really true if I’m totally honest. 

So, I’ve bared my soul to all of you.   The pictures will go up this weekend, most likely sometime on Saturday.   Stop by the Gallery and take a look.  I think you’ll be impressed.

I know I’ve talked about this before but really, what is wrong with people?   Group owners, store owners, designers, and land owners are under NO obligation to give anything away, EVER!   Seriously people, get a grip.  If you join a group and the owner sends out a gift, THANK them.   Don’t start bitching about the color.  I mean really, WTF???  It was a GIFT!! 

When someone gives you a gift in RL do you immediately tell them it’s the wrong color or that it should be this or that?   I certainly hope not.  You don’t have to like everything your given but have a little bit of tact and common sense and thank the person who gave it to you and then go throw up in the restroom or bushes or wherever if you feel the need to. 

If I go into a store in SL and they have a freebie I may or may not pick it up.   Usually I don’t feel right taking the freebie if I’ve never bought from the store.   That’s just how I am.  I usually walk by the freebies.   Lots of people search out freebies though.  For whatever reason they have a mission to search out quality free items.   Good for them.  If they are pleasant and gracious and friendly I applaud them for the hunt.   It’s the ones that think that they are entitled to the freebie that I have an issue with. 

Why are you entitled to get free stuff?   I’d love to know.  What makes you *entitled* to it?   Did you do something special?  Cure Cancer?  End poverty?  Solve the world’s food problems?  Bring about world peace?  Make the grid more stable?  Lower tier rates?  Make a better viewer?

Nope didn’t think so.  So get in line with the rest of us and stop moaning about what you’re entitled to or that the group gift you got was the wrong color.   Some day when you’ve got your own store or your own group is giving out freebies let me know how much you like getting the hate mail/notecards or IMs from people telling you to F*** Off because the beautiful gift you gave out was the wrong bloody color!

*Evangeline Miles of Evie’s closet posted recently about comments she’s received about her group and the *group gift*.   Reading her post and the comments she’s gotten prompted me to write this.

That’s the new theme for the Gallery of Light.   I asked each of the artists to show me/us what they are afraid of.

It’s funny, I can choose a theme but when it comes to creating a pic for it, I’m at a loss.   I certainly don’t have a lack of fears.  If I think about them too hard and for too long it almost seems I’m afraid of everything.  

Fear of failure:   No one wants to be labeled a failure.  The fear of failure keeps us from taking risks.   When bought Angel Square I was terrified.  Now it’s had it’s ups and downs and I’d like to see some changes made but for the most part, it’s a risk I’m glad I took.

Fear of being alone:   Not everyone is afraid to be alone.   Some people revel in it others simply prefer a solitary existence.  For those though that need the constant contact of other human beings, being alone can be terrifying.

Being Invisible:   No one wants to be invisible all the time.  Yes sometimes we want to hide from everyone but most of the time we want to be seen and acknowledged.  

Rejection :  Who hasn’t felt the bite of rejection at one point in their life?   Whether from a lover, friend or in business no one likes to hear, *I/we don’t want you*.

Disappointment :  If you’ve ever heard *I’m so disappointed in you* from someone you love, trust or respect then I don’t need to say anything else.   If you’ve never heard these words, then count your blessings because there is no more hollow feeling in the world.

There are countless phobias and other fears that I could go into.   I chose to talk about these because all were concepts I’d considered doing for my entry in the Gallery of Light.   What struck me though is how can I continue to be afraid of something I’ve actually experienced?  

I’ve failed at so many things it doesn’t scare me anymore.   It only makes me angry. 

I am alone and while I don’t always like it, it is my choice.   I prefer my own company as opposed to some of the offers I’ve had recently(this is a whole post itself lol).  

Am I invisible?  Hope not.  I post pictures to Flickr and I know they’ve been seen whether or not anyone comments.  

I’ve been rejected just like anyone else.  It’s not fun and certainly doesn’t feel good.   But not everyone is perfect.   We can’t all be the best at everything, someone will always be better.  

I’ve disappointed my fair share of people and feel the regret to this day.   It’s certainly not something I’m proud of and I’m careful to not do anything to warrant it again.   I’m not afraid of it happening again, I simply won’t allow it to.

So that brings me to what I will do for my entry and you are just going to have to wait…

I’ve heard quite a few people complaining about Alts lately.   What is an alt you ask?   An Alt is an alternative avatar, a second or third or fourth persona you create usually entirely different from your original avie.   I’ve heard of people having up to 10 other avies.

Why have one?  The reasons are as varied as the people who have them.   Business reasons, role play, to spy on a significant other, to hide from a significant other and on and on.   I will admit to having two alts.  One I rarely use that I set up to roleplay with and never got into and one that I created because well, sometimes you need another av for a photoshoot.   It’s a male av and I’ve yet to *dude* him up but I’ll get there.

The Business Alt:   Having a business alt makes total sense when you run a successful business.   Generally that av only logs in from time to time, handles the administrative things and logs out again.   This av isn’t usually hidden from anyone.

The Role Play Alt:   So, you wanna go all psycho in Midian or CoLA or any of the other roleplay sims.   Your very proper human av just won’t cut it though.  You make an alt in which to be whatever mutant or neko or vamp you wish to be.   Some people share this alt with their friends, some don’t. 

The I need to spy on my significant other Alt :  Ok so your dating/partnered/engaged/married and your significant other seems different.   You know something is wrong but they simply say everything is fine.   You don’t believe them.  You worry they are cheating.  What do you do?   You create an alt and then go spy on them.   Let me just say I’m NOT condoning this behavior.  Having been on the receiving end of it I can tell you it destroys all trust in a relationship.  I dated someone who had an Alt to spy on every girl he dated.  Some male, some female.  He even created one male av and used it to hit on me to see if I’d take the bait.  No, I didn’t.   My suggestion, if you think your significant other is cheating, ask them outright or end the relationship.   Spying is simply wrong.

The I need to hide from my significant other Alt :  Ok, so you’re in a great relationship but you want a bit of alone time.   Your other half just doesn’t understand why you don’t want to spend every waking minute with them.   You create an Alt so you can get some peace and do what you want.   Wanting some peace and being able to do whatever you like is all fine but maybe you need to have a heart to heart with the significant other rather than hiding behind an alt.

The I just want to annoy everyone Alt :  You’ve probably had one to many alcoholic beverages and think it would be a real hoot to create and alt and then go to your favorite hang out in your underwear and hit on your friends.   True story, happened at the Crown the other night.  Lands was kind enough to share the story with me.   I’ll refer you to Prad Prathivi’s  Rules of Second Life , SL and alcohol don’t mix.  It’s #49 on the list but do read all of them, they are quite funny and oh so true.

The I look better than I should only being 3 mins old Alt :  Do not try to tell me you’re a noob when you’ve got a Redgrave Skin, Diversity Hair, an outfit from Last Call(which is closed) and shoes from Shiny Things or boots from Bax.   Cause there is no way someone under 30 days has any of that stuff, especially from Last Call as they have been closed a while now.   You created an alt, transferred stuff over and are trying to be *new* again.   You know what, fess up that it’s an alt.  Trying to pretend your something your not is just silly, we see right through it.  

This concludes my little rant on Alts. 

Wow, can’t believe it, this is number 100!  Phew that’s a lot of posts.  When I started this I had no idea I’d get thru 10 let alone 100.  I really didn’t think I had that much to say.  Granted a few posts have had nothing to do with SL the majority have all been about Second Life.

I’m still not exactly sure what this blog is really going to be.  I know what it won’t be, a fashion blog.  I don’t have the time and really the talent for it.  Especially when there are so many others doing it so well.  I may occasionally show off some outfit if the mood strikes but that isn’t what I started this for.

I suppose that makes this an opinion blog.  My opinion.  I’ve kept quiet on a few topics mainly because while I have my own opinion I’m not sure I want to share it or if y’all wanna here it.  Not that I’m afraid of being criticized or disagreed with, sometimes I just don’t want to share.  Sometimes being silent is really the better course.

When I started this I really never imagined having enough to say every week let alone every day.  I’ve tried to blog every day and for the most part I have(weekends excluded).  I’ve skipped a few days here and there when either I had nothing to say or nothing I wished to say out loud.  I’ve had a few days when I’ve been amazed at the hits on the blog.  Most of those posts had something to do with sex and we all know sex sells.  For the most part though I’ve got some people who read and occasionally comment on what I’ve written.  I thank most of you for your comments.

I started this as a test for myself.  Could I stick to it?  Would I take the time to actually write something every day?  Will I improve over time?  Am I gonna hate it or love it?

Well, i’ve stuck to it. 100th post, has to mean something huh.  I’ve tried to take the time every day to write something.  It may not have made itself onto the blog but I have written every day.  Have I improved?  I don’t know bout that.  You’ll have to tell me.  I’m my worst critic.  I really can’t be objective cause my stuff is all either great or crap.  Usually it’s crap.

Love it or hate it??  Well that’s a good question.  If you’d asked me back in early October I’d have said I loved it.  Lately though… I don’t hate it but I haven’t been loving it so much.  Some of you know why.  I’m trying to get that loving it feeling back though.  This post is the first step. 

I’m not going  to say I do this for me cause if I’m honest, I do this for all of you first and me second.  Why have a blog if you don’t want it read?  It is my space though. My space to record my thoughts.  Comments are always welcome whether you agree or not.  All I ask is that you stay on topic and don’t attack anyone for having a difference of opinion.

The first 99 posts are written and stuffed in the archives. 

Here’s to the next 100!  I’m looking forward to sharing the ride with all of you.
