Who Are You? - Reader Survey 2015

I have been blogging for a couple of years now and have shared my rants, tirades, thoughts and feelings about everything or nothing with you all.

Many of you have been coming here to read my blog for several years, others are just passing by, I know that much already from Google Analytics.

That tool also informs me - collectively, not individually - what countries you are from and what language you prefer to read, but there is so much more I want to know about you, my dear readers, that Google Analytics cannot tell me.

Today I have posted five surveys on the top right hand side of the blog and would be grateful if you answer them.

In addition to answering those five questions I would appreciate if you answered the question "Why do you read Bock in SecondLife?" in the comments.

This survey will close at June 10, 2015, at 12 AM (midnight) SLT.

The Meaning of Relief

When I saw this picture I counted my blessings for being an occasional drinker of alcoholic beverages and gay to boot. 

Relief, the feeling you get when you realize that you're not doomed to eternal misery after all.

Religion & Same-Sex Marriage

Molly's Bloom's Brain-Gasm: Learning and Creativity

Opening at The Living Room Gallery (SLurl) on Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at 12 PM (noon) SLT

Entertainment:  Dusty Smythe

Your eyes dilate.  Your heart pounds and breathing gets faster.  An almost indecipherable sweat appears on your skin.  The synaptic nerves in your brain flash like fireworks and power the proverbial light bulb.  You are experiencing the Brain’s Big “O”, the brain-gasm. 

Brain-gasms come from everywhere, a visual, a smell, the sound of a song or an emotion.   Sometimes the effect is fleeting, and sometimes you find yourself with the overwhelming need to express.  Creativity flows, and not just in the traditional arts, but maybe cooking an extraordinary meal, creating an astounding business deal, or the perfect computer program.   If you are lucky to have a fulfilling outlet, your expression becomes tangible. 

Often an artist expresses themselves in a much deeper raw form than the onlooker can even understand, drawing you into their “gasm”, trying to turn you on as much as they were.  Each and every gasm is not only a personal learning experience but also invites onlookers to learn about the artist. 

The new series Brain-gasm is a free flowing, non-preconceived series of nothing more than Molly in the throes of the Big Brain “O”.
