The heart...
Autumn afternoon at Ambient Life |
Yeah, it’s one, two, three, four chambers that pump blood through the body. But it does so much more.
It pines. It sinks. It soars.
Bands have heart.
Stories tug at it.
Games send it racing.
And each day is a chance to give every beat a meaning.
The heart wants a kiss to send it fluttering. And it wants it now. It wants break up songs, red-eye movie nights and late night creme brulee. And it wants heavy hearts, heartbreak, heart racers, heart-bursters and heart stoppers.
Sometimes the heart loves hating. And sometimes, the heart hates loving. But more than anything, the heart just wants to feel.
There are about 2,500,000,000 heartbeats in a lifetime. You should feel every one of them.

Why Bless the U.S.A.?
The star and stripes forever |
When I point like this there are three fingers pointing back at me. |
Are you truly grateful? Yes? Then act like it! |
Yes, America is fat with the greed that comes with abundance and spoiled with a freedom that she may very well lose due to her own complacency, ignorance, apathy and repugnant scandal. But she is still the land of the free and the home of the brave and I love her even with all of her flaws and pray that somehow in my little niche of the world I will know to do right with this freedom that God has granted us and I challenge my fellow Americans to do the same. I am grateful to a platform like Second Life where I can meet and become friends with some amazing people from all around the world. I can only ask you to forgive me for those times when I take for granted my freedom. Bear with me when I publicly ask God to bless the USA- because she really needs it.
Shamefully Proud American |
A special thanks to Jules Catlyn with Surplus Motors for creating this amazing car:

If you think...
I Spotted the content of this blog in someone's profile recently and thought it worth posting. So if you think while you are in Second life:
~Don't take anything too seriously!
~Respect yourself and others.
~SL is diverse... From religions, mental illnesses and criminals, to less common sexual appetites.
~Don't prejudge!
~Stay true to yourself.
~SL can hurt in ways society hasn't prepared you for.
~Keep track of the line between reality and fantasy; love, hate, passion, dreams, goals.
~Always keep a clear head!
~SL is not reality, nor is it a fair
representation of reality!
~Take breaks...
~If you think you're going to marry that avatar you're pretending to be fondling... and that he/she is at all like that in real life... think again!

Lions, Lyings, and Lines
I've noticed several people taking pictures and
posting blogs that include two lions designed by Nilssen at < THAT
>. There is just simply something very majestic, proud and awe inspiring
about lions. They just have a way of intimidating without even trying.
Did you know
that male lions live a relatively short lives, as they are constantly under the
threat of pride takeover by younger, stronger males. The females will mate with the new males that succeed in taking
over a pride. Usually there are more than one male within a pride and
several females. Any male may mate with any female. It is first come first
served. Since the males are often brothers, it does not matter that much which
male does most of the mating since their genes will be passed along. The male
lions that have lost control of a pride may die of the injuries or starvation.
Males of course may woo females from neighboring prides, but of course that is
seldom successful because of the presence of rival males.
So I had to get myself a pair of these
lions so I could look all cool and important. It’s funny how my plans never
seem to turn out like I see them in my head. As you can see I had a rough go of
it trying to tame these beasts. It must have been when I went to pet the female
that the male decided I’d look better on my back under his paws.
The same thing can be said of
relationships in SL and in RL. We all know that people have a knack for telling
us what we want to hear and just as bad, we often times hear what we want to
hear. There is no sure fire plan for avoiding this if you want to be with
people.
You can learn from your mistakes or those of those around you but the
simple fact is love and relationships are risky. But if you value interpersonal
closeness then you must take the chance at some point. My only advice is that
early on in your relationship you must establish lines. You must have both lines
of communication and lines of limitations. Take the time to develop friendships
and you will always have a full heart.

Dusty's Digits
Strawberry Singh said she wasn't planning on doing a digit challenge this year. Well, I wasn't planning on creating a blog. EVER. But what the heck. Seems everyone has one so why not me. This is the very blog I've done and may be the last. We'll just have to see.
I've almost always checked my digits when Berry put out the challenge but I've never posted anything publicly. I am interested in seeing what others do with their avatars and often compare mine. I'm never quite satisfied with my measurements and much like everyone else, the things that keeps them in flux are the clothes that we make or buy in world.
Although I won't take time to answer the other questions in the meme I will say that I'm happy with the changes that LL is making with SL and have no intentions of walking away any time soon.
I would appreciate any feed back that anyone might offer. I've long since taken my feelings off my sleeve and kept them hidden away when it comes to criticisms whether they be constructive or critical. Just tell me what you think and we'll still be friends. Or, enemies depending on what you were before you responded. ;)
See you in Never Never Land. :)
