Meeting A Unicorn

Today I had my first meeting alone with a unicorn. Well, to be honest, we have met briefly before and I have known and admired him from a safe distance. He took me for a ride and I am hoping it was not the last time.

A few hilarious things happened (that I am not going to tell you about) but the basis has been laid for a long and beautiful ride.

Actions Have Consequences

My brief modelling career for a poster for the BM Ballroom turned out to have some unexpected ramifications. When I was leaving the photo shoot I poked my modelling partner Eeva Rasmuson and the demon photographer Kahvy Sands.

Both of them now claim to be carrying my unborn children. This is what Eeva tells me in an offline message, "Bock you should really be careful when you poke...now see what you did!!!" 

[07:37] Paternity test: Please wait, Paternity test in Progress.....
[07:37] Paternity test: Processing......
[07:38] Paternity test: Congratulations! The father of your unborn DAUGHTERS is: Bock McMillan!
[07:38] ενα: omg
[07:38] Kahvy Sands: Wait... daughterS?
[07:38] ενα: He has been busy poking us 
[07:38] Kahvy Sands: You're having twins!
[07:38] ενα: OMG
[07:38] ενα faints

Perhaps I should consider wearing a condom when I poke in the future, but I was thinking this was just some innocent fun... Who would have thought it would come to this?

Visit to Mirromere

Today I went for a visit with my Ars. I had some things to think about and Mirromere has always been the place I feel closest to him. I had a good think through there and some things were settled in my mind.

Afterwards I took a walk around the beautiful sim and found a place I had never seen there before, high up in the tree tops, and just relaxed and enjoyed the wonderful view of Mirromere glowing in all its autumn colors.

Please, Say It Ain't So

Today I woke up after a wonderful nights sleep, made coffee and sat down by my computer to read the morning paper where I had a bad awakening.
One of the top headlines, just a little after reports of the super-typhoon Haiyan and its distressing path of death and destruction in Southeast Asia, there was an article with the headline "Fältskog Open to ABBA Reunion".

Seemingly the Swedish singer Agnetha Fältskog, in an interview with the German weekly Welt am Sonntag, has let it slip that a reunion is "of course something we are thinking about" to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the band's song Waterloo (with which they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974).

The world of music has scarcely had time to recover from the last time they were around. It seems we must hope that Benny Andersson stands firm in his resolve. Benny a year ago said,"No, we no longer exists. We have not been around since 1982."

I always thought that Benny seemed like the sanest and most level headed of the former band members. Stay strong, Benny!

Returning to Life

Since I stopped taking the Champix cold turkey last Sunday, I feel myself getting better each day. It's a relief to feel that I can focus again, get things done and that my general mood is improving. I am even starting to like people again.

Yesterday I returned to SecondLife and dropped in at DJ Arcy's set at Butch's Whim - Part Deux. I had a wonderful time with great music and sexy company. This evening everyone there was bouncing around on pumpkins, so I chose a pumpkin and joined in.

I even succeeded in forcing Butch to give me a good night hug before he went to sleep. He is a bit wary of my "homosocial" habits. This time he only complained that my antlers were sticking through his head.

Your Soul - Ivri Lider

The English version of a song from the soundtrack of Yossi & Jagger, a 2002 Israeli romantic drama film directed by Eytan Fox

Your Soul by Ivri Lider
Scare away the fog
And let the sky be clear
Let's stand in light
The shadow's full of fear

You cannot just hide forever
You'll break
You're not that clever
Just try for once
Not holding back your love

When deep inside
Your soul is crying out
Come share with me
All your deepest secrets
Together you and me
Making love so simple

When the wind blows all your fears away
Love makes the flowers grow
Red and green and gold like rays of sun
Give me your soul
I won't let go (x2)

Scare away the clouds
And let the sky be clear
Let's stand in light
The shadow's full of fear

You cannot just hide forever
'Cos you'll break
You're not that clever
Just try for once
To set your feelings free

Just you and me
It's all that we should be
Don't run away
With your deepest secrets
Together you and me
Making love so different

When the wind blows all your fears away
Love makes the flowers grow
Red and green and gold like rays of sun
Give me your soul
I won't let go (x2)

So come and share with me
All your deepest secrets
Together you and me
Making love so different

When the wind blows all your fears away
Love makes the flowers grow
Red and green and gold like rays of sun
Give me your soul
I won't let go
You know I'll never go (less)


This song is a gift to me from my sweet brother in-law Dej.

It's Definite

After procrastinating about it for an unusually long time, I have finally made up my mind and have decided to quit Facebook - again.

Quitting Facebook will relieve me from the easily offended and oversensitive jerks who are a waste of my limited time and energy.

I will however miss many of the friends and acquaintances I have made there, but am hoping that they will use other means of keeping in touch with me, either via this blog, in SecondLife or via email. (My email can always be found in About Me in the top left corner of the blog.)

I will make the request for my account to be deleted tomorrow, Saturday November 9, 2013.
