...And the Oscar Goes To...

The SecondLife Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role this year goes to

Ms. Iendi Laville 

for her beautiful and convincing performance in the blog post  We Eloped!

Topics of the Day

With Butch Diavolo I discussed oysters. pearls and correct cosmology. Oh, I almost forgot, we also talked about a**h***s (the bad variety)

With Ziggy Starsmith I talked about kidney stones and what we may expect of our spouses in moments of crisis. I also told him he had been added to a short list.




Kahvy Sands and I talked about taking the first step, just moving and breaking patterns and visits to Spurts Beach. (I should add that the last topic was a joke, or so he tells me...) Kahvy also reminded me about having seen the inside of his steam bath several years ago.

My brother in-law Dejerrity Mycron and I talked about the Oscars, his outing with a friend and the lighthouse at Southern Charm.
P,S. We also discussed the best way to choose a handbag (seemingly for a friends niece - but I am not quite sure).

What's Going On?

My blogging has been a bit irregular lately, for which I ask your pardon.

The image above is a true reflection of the state of my thought patterns at the moment. I am trying to get to grips with it.

It is easy for me to accept certain facts and to make a decision of "letting go" and "moving on", but when I try to break it down into actions that need to be taken or what course I wish to take out of my present predicament my brain simply shuts down and starts to produce beautiful and erratic confusion.

Since my Ars died I have made myself into a mausoleum for his memory, I realize that, but how do I change that? I have become so used to being the planet around his sun and reflecting the light that shone from him. Where do I find my new light source and how do I create my new universe?

A Swedish comedian said "Life is like a paper bag, empty and devoid of meaning if you don't fill it with something." So the question remains, what do I fill it with when I remove, or move from the center to the periphery or diminish what Ars has been in my life?

At the same time as all this is going on, I am also worrying about friends around me who have landed in real messes with their health and other first life issues compared to which my self absorption seems extremely petty and petulant.

Love Stockholm

(via Qx.se)

Stockholm is trying to target the gay tourists with this commercial, not a bad one actually and not untrue.

Politically (In)Correct

This is to prove to my Dutch friend Kahvy Sands, who comments as his husband Rick de vette on this blog (with the flimsy excuse that he cannot log in as himself pffft), that I am proudly politically correct yet I still dare post this version of "Forever Young".

Actually I cannot see what's so challenging about this clip, but perhaps it's because it is 2.30 AM and I am too tired due to a sudden onset of insomnia...
