Privacy In Second Life


Do you like privacy in your Second Life world?  I mean the need to be alone freely - for changing clothes, working, hobbying, a love interlude.  Just virtually..."being" without the distraction, or intrusion, of a crowd.

To protect privacy,  we can arm security orbs, or if we have land or building rights we can barricade the doors.  We can even make ourselves invisible on our land.  Another option is skybox living.  It seems for some people, a need for privacy is not a huge deal.  They have families and drop-in friends, with a welcome revolving door.  Still others like nude beaches and more open adult pastimes.  ;)  Should we care?  We are just pixels, right?  But the thing is, we are attached to those pixels.  Do we behave as if in real life, or is your avatar your alter-ego?

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
And I have no privacy.
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Who's playing tricks on me?

                  ~~ Somebody's Watching Me, Rockwell

As a blogger, I really like/need my privacy.  Sometimes it's also a welcome break from real life.  That's not to say I want total privacy at all times; I don't.  But I definitely like it.  Often.  How about you?

I Will Fly Higher Than An Eagle


It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
But I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

                 ~~Wind Beneath My Wings, Bette Midler

Midday At The Oasis


...send your camels, I mean, baby elephants to bed.  What will .Tm Creations:. think of next?  You can find The Peace Nature Scene and Rustic Planter Trunk with flowers at the RLF Home & Garden Expo until April 7th.  100% of sales are donated to this worthy cause.  

These fantastic landscape creations remind me of a movie I watched recently on Netflix, called Baahubali.  I am forever lost in the epic beauty and battle scenes of this amazing Hindi story.  There are two parts and they are long, but well worth the watch.  They now rate #1 in my long list of movie favorites and it's going to take a LOT to topple them.

Don't Make Me Wait


I don't want you to think I'm rushin' you
I know you like to take your time
I'm already sold on the idea, of you and I
Just tell me where I need to sign
'Cause I've been searching for a while
And I know what works for me
All I need to know if this is what you want
'Cause I'm already where I need to be
So don't make me wait

              ~~ Don't Make Me Wait, Sting

When your boyfriend is an artist, whose work is never done.  Ahh, the wait to go out.  I'm all dolled up and ready to go!

If you haven't tried EscalateD Hair, try a demo.  I recommend Pacey in particular.  Dress her up formally or go girl-next-door.  This creator provides Style Huds for most releases (yes for Pacey).  The texture huds have 2 sections for separate color options which are really cool to play with.  Go crazy with fatpack color options, mixing and matching endlessly.  50% off pre-release, good time to buy.

Send Me A Love That's Soft


Send me love that's soft
Let me know a love that's soft
Softer than a cloud
Or roses moist with rain
A child's gentle kiss
Make his love soft like this
And send me love that's warm

Let me know a love that's warm
Warmer than the sun
And sips of brandy wine
The white coals of a fire
So warm I'll never tire
Of how he touches me

                ~~ Soft, Chuck Mangione

Feline Redirection


For a while
the only earth that Sloopy knew
was in her sandbox.
Two rooms on Fifty-fifth Street
were her domain.
Every night she’d sit in the window
among the avocado plants
waiting for me to come home
(my arms full of canned liver and love).
We’d talk into the night then
contented
but missing something,
She the earth she never knew
me the hills I ran
while growing bent.

Sloopy should have been a cowboy’s cat
with prairies to run
not linoleum
and real-live catnip mice.
No one to depend on but herself. . . .

                       ~~ A Cat Named Sloopy, Rod McKuen
