It's My Life - Bon Jovi

Music video by Bon Jovi performing "It's My Life" (2003)

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground

It's for Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't enough
You've got to make your own breaks

It's my life
And it's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life

You better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

It's my life
And it's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)

And it's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)

This Year We Were First...

Last year Tomais and I almost missed sending out our Holiday greetings to friends and family, so this year Tomais started early and we had the card ready to send out in the middle of November, or close enough...

"Holiday Card 2018" by Tomais Ashdene

Tomais informed me, with a stern voice, that we were sending the card out either when we received our first card or December 1^st, whichever happened first.

We wish all our family and friends a 

wonderful and happy holiday season!

Second Pride: Habemus Praesidem!

The LGBT+ residents and our straight allies of SecondLife waited with bated breath for the announcement from the Special Meeting that had been called on Saturday for the particular purpose to appoint a new Chairperson.

All eyes were fixed on the tiny chimney perched on the roof of the Meeting-skybox for a sign of either black smoke or white smoke. Then suddenly, at 1:40 PM SLT, the smoke appeared. And it was gloriously white! The board had agreed (6-0, with 1 abstention) on a Chairperson for Second Pride.

Sister's and brother's, sing out in joy and exultation, for we are no longer orphaned lambs shambling our way through the desert in disarray, facing the dangers without a leader to guide us. 

Please join me in welcoming our new shepherd, and leader, 

Lee McKay!!!

World AIDS Day 2018

Remember those of us who died. Do what you can to prevent the disease from spreading. It's so fucking easy, don't have unprotected sex with people you don't know.
