Ars Forever, Forever Ars!

Joseph Douglas Wilson Jr.,

a.k.a Ars Northmead

★ April 21, 1953 (first life)

★ October 25, 2006 (SecondLife)

† March 12, 2010

Five years have passed since that awful day when my lovely Ars died.

A long time afterwards I actually thought I would never recover from that experience, but - little by little and ever so slowly - I came back to life and finally I could love again. I do so without feeling any guilt and with the knowledge that my Ars would approve.

After all, a new love takes nothing away from an old love, nor does an old one take anything away from the new. Both my loves fill me with joy and happily coexist within my whole being.

Ars will live on as long as there are still people who remember him and love him and I am not planning on dying soon, neither are Guyke or Dej or any of the others who loved and were loved by him.

Hip Hip Hooray, Because I'm Eight Today!

Today I celebrate my 8th rezday in SecondLife. Who would have thought - that day long ago - when I first logged in that I would still be here eight years later? Not me, for one!

There have of course been times when I have asked myself what the fuck I am doing here. I can tell you two reasons about why I continue to come back, although I have sometimes doubted my sanity.

The first reason - and absolutely most important one - is the other residents. In the wonderful, strange and exciting world of SecondLife, I have found good, caring and interesting people to spend my time with. Two of them have become my lovers, a few more have become my family or close friends while others have been good friends or interesting and exciting acquaintances.

The second reason is that nowhere else can I dance better and look so good while doing it!

Thank you friends and family for our first eight years together, I am so looking forward to the next eight years with you all!
