Log Off and Shut down.

Kal and I did something totally different last night. We logged off earlier than usual. It seems like we both came to the conclusion that we have been spending way too much time in-world over the past week. After some IM back and forth, and a nice long hug, we said good night. And you know what? It felt ok to do that. I know that I see friends on my friend list in-world for hours at a time every single night. Does that sound like you?

In my first life work, I am on the computer all day long. I know we are all wired 24/7 these days with all the social bells and whistles we have available to us, but I challenge you to take time out and see what happens. You may discover something new.

End of post and time for a break... well... for a few hours at least.

Imagination and Wonder - Don't Lose it

Last night was the "Lights on Broadway" party at Jake's. The set was amazing and what is even more amazing is that here in SL we have the opportunity to experience people and places in a way we may never have imagined. The ability to travel to all sorts of places we only dream of visiting. All with the click of the Teleport button.

I know it's my own "child-like" sense of curiosity and adventure that keeps me going in SL. There is so much to see and do.

The other thing is the friends we encounter in SL. I have touched on the various kinds of "ships" in a prior post. I tend to have a good sense of the people I meet. The connections are amazing. My recent friendship with Kal has turned into something very special that is hard to explain. Although we have never met in first life and are miles and miles apart, I feel very close to him. Perhaps you have experienced the same thing.

Letting go of all the "junk" that's put in front of our first life is hard. But when we let go of all the hate, prejudices and ugliness we open ourselves up to a world of amazing opportunity to do good not only in this life, but in our second life as well.

Tuesday Timewarp

Last night I was hosting our weekly Tuesday Timewarp with DJ Syriana Paine in the Plaza at Jake's. If you have not been to any of these you really should go. Last night we introduced something new. Trivia questions. Brady Rowell came up with our list of questions and Ritch Nicholls read them out in local chat. There was great guest participation. The winner who answered the most questions correctly got to pick the theme for the next week's party. Congratulations to my boy Kaladon Daxter!! He chose "One Hit Wonders" for our next week theme. That should be interesting. I hope to see you there next week.
