To Mialinn

To my friend, Her Majesty the Queen Mialinn of Second Norway.

Sorry dearest Mialinn, I have a very bad cold so I am too tired to get in to see the ABBA-show in Second Norway tonight. I hope you all have a great time. As you already know I visit Second Norway often and I have always loved it there!

...and always remember, men should wear only black cycling shorts if they must wear them at all. If they are black, people will not get heart attacks and we will be spared from the indignity of public drooling!

Why I - eventually - tried out SecondLife

This is the newspaper article that lead to my joining Second Life, I was happy to find it again.

You can read the full article here.

Mobbingbarn

Niels Jensens classic from 1979 in the beautiful Scanian dialect. Niels was only 15 at the time, whatever became of him I suddenly wonder...

Re: bicycle pants

Someone asked me why I want bicycle pants banned.

I thought a picture might say more than a thousand words. Above you see a picture of a Polish bicycle team.

The Loudness War

This is Sean Kagalis, in Second Life better known as strum Diesel. He is a wonderful singer/songwriter, try to catch his show inworld sometime if you can! strum and his husband Stirred Diesel are two of the nicest and friendliest people in Second Life.

France bans burquas

The French Senate voted 246 to 1 (the Socialist, Communist, and Green party members abstained from voting) on Tuesday in favor of the bill, which has already passed in the lower chamber, the National Assembly. It will need President Nicolas Sarkozy's signature. 

Legislative leaders in the Senate and the National Assembly said they wanted the Constitutional Council to examine it. They said in a joint statement that they want to be certain there is "no uncertainty" about it conforming to the constitution.

France's legislature is the first to vote on such a law, but similar measures are proposed in several other Western European countries.

The reactionaries attack has started against the weekest amongst us, when will it reach you and your chosen way of life?

Let me make it totally clear, I am not at all in favour of women covering themselves up in this extreme way, but I totally support their right to do so if they choose it themselves and it doesn´t interfere with  anyone else´s liberty, health or safety.

What will be banned next? I am hoping for bicycle pants!

"Sarah"

"Sarah"
by Mauro Scocco

No boys are sleeping
She´s in all their rooms
In the air they breathe
her kiss on their lips
They sneak around her door
with her picture in their pockets
They are the heroes in the movie,
she´s the girl
They cry out her name, but no one hears
And the stars sing in unison

She walks past my house,
I follow every step she takes
She disappears around the corner,
and then there is only longing left
They say that she lives alone
and maybe she wants it that way
But if she got to know me,
would it change anything then?

I stand at her door
Hear the heart beat
I go up to her door and ring the bell
oh, come out tonight

Oh Sarah, come out tonight
I´m waiting at the corner by 7-Eleven
Sarah, you are more than I understand
put on your jacket, so we can take a walk

She is wild like the wind
She is warm as a summer night
In her eyes sparkle
an infinite treasure
There is nothing I wouldn´t do
to have her here
I´ll take down the moon and the stars
I promise, I swear

I walk up to her door and ring the bell
on the other side, on the other side someone begins to walk
oh, come out tonight ...

Oh Sarah, come out tonight
I´m waiting at the corner by 7-Eleven
Sarah, you are more than I understand
put on your jacket, so we can take a walk

Come out, come out,
Come out tonight ...
