Wherein this avatar's fates, adventures and experiences in, his thoughts and feelings about and his reactions to his first and second life are depicted with written messages, images and other audiovisual tools.
I am Bock in SecondLife and Bock is I in first life. We share thoughts, opinions, feelings, actions and reactions. We are one and the same and inseparable. On this blog I choose to share both my realities.
There I did a remake of my blog, just for the hello of it, and as you can all see I am persisting in staying away from the oh so popular black and gray themes on blogs.
I prefer the blog to be light, the background to the posts to be white for easier reading and I like green, so enjoy! (I may come to the conclusion that the background is too distracting in the long run but lets wait and see...)
I have been reluctant to switch from the Phoenix viewer because it has worked wonderfully for me. I have very seldom experienced crashes and almost never felt any lag expect when that must be expected.
Well with all the talk about mesh coming and how important it was to get ready for that change I finally dared to take the big step, especially after watching Jessica Lyonvideo tutorial four (4) times about how to configure the Firestorm to look like viewer 1. I also remembered the praises for Firestorm by my friends Ziggy Starsmith, my regular tech-head VampiTwine-DeSantis and Sven Idyll.
So far everything seems to be working as promised, and I have all my stuff back in their regular locations on my screen. Next thing will be to see how it works for me when I am doing my thing, but I´ll leave that for another day.
I thank my sister Millimina Salamander for pointing me towards this song.
"What Are Words" - lyrics by Chris Medina
Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone
And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most
What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone
Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
DJ Arc in the booth with his hot bodyguards in front
Just as my usual Friday night coma was about to set in I got the call from The Sanctuary club that Arcangelo Hellman (DJ Arcy), was about to start his set. I have always liked his music so I decided to go over for a while.
The Sanctuary is a deconsecrated church building (or perhaps it was never consecrated) and a is a beautiful venue with stained glass church windows.
Although the trance music was great and the company pleasant my sleep deprivation finally caught up with me after an hour and I had to leave.
My friend the always creative Ewa Aska invites us to the Vadstena Festival tomorrow! The festival has a Viking theme.
A "Berserker" was a Viking warrior who fought with wild ferocity. In the berserker fighting tradition the warriors take on the spirit of bears whilst foaming at the mouth and gnawing on the edges of their shields. It is the source of the Vikings' reputation of ferocity.
I don´t expect any battles tomorrow, but the dancing will be ferocious I am sure!
As for the theme, I have the most wonderful helmet from Gryphon Lair that should work well, but not much else. Hmmm, I wonder if I dare go to the party only wearing a helmet...?

Hmmmmm five for bloggers, well I am guessing that Eddi Haskell will be one of those and perhaps Apmel Goosson another - but who are the other three I wonder? *tossing my hair in frustration and wondering why I haven´t been chosen*
To improve a free dialog between the commentors on this blog - and as a personal favor to my buddy Apmel Goosson - I am now going to stop monitoring the comments before they are published. Your comments will appear on the blog without delay.
My monitoring will be done retroactively instead. I will forthwith delete comments that I find abusive or otherwise unacceptable by my own personal standards. Please be civil!
(And I had to get out of bed to do this, because I couldn't fall asleep otherwise after my talk with Apmel.)
