In the stillness

“The right thing to do is not always the easiest thing to do. There may be some struggles and difficulties but in the end, you will be happy that you did what was right. If you are ever unsure of what to do, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and be still. In the stillness, all answers appear.” Paul Taubman

But it wasn’t the cure

Drive through the street with your eyes closed
Trip on the stick where the wind blows
So out of reach but it looks close
Don’t assume what you don’t
Know
You act real hot but you’re still cold
You wanna be rich with a Lambo
So out of reach but it looks so close
Red light but you still go
You can walk around the entire world
But you still end up with what you started with first
Spit out money and you offer out lures
Get the girl but it wasn’t the cure

Pixel Prom 2020

Pixel Prom has been a thing for many years in Second Life, but this was my first prom ever. No, I’m not a Euro that’s never had an opportunity to go to prom. I’m in the U.S. I had dates for three out of four proms, but I managed to weasel my way out of all of them except one and technically that was not a prom it was a Military ball and it was the only introduction I needed to formal dresses for me to know that was NOT for me. In fact, I hated that dress and the dance soooo much that I called a friend of mine to come take my place so I could go home and get that god forsaken dress off my body. No, our date did not mind, he was lucky to have a date! She was all about formals so she was more than happy to take my place. *shudders* I will never understand the appeal of those fluffy restrictive dresses. Nope, those are NOT for me. With that said, I was fortunate enough in Second Life to not only have a date, but to find something more suitable to my taste. Chris loved my outfit, so that was all the approval I needed.
Now, I will say this…the actual dance was quite lovely…well, until Chris had to go to bed. Then I was mostly missing him and felt restricted once again by the gown length apparel. Let’s face it, twerking in a gown….doesn’t look great. Ah well, it was an amazing night, even if I had to dress up fancy. I had the most handsome date, too. So, that certainly didn’t hurt. *winks*

They Don’t Know

Pretty boys, they didn’t teach me things I didn’t know
They don’t have the thing that I need, but they don’t know they don’t
You got that old thing about ya, and I can’t hide my feels
Pretty girls, they always die out, need another sex appeal

I said come on, zero fucks about it
Come on, I know I’m gonna get hurt
Come on, zero fucks about it
Come on

Delicate or Depraved?

Would you look at that? I found a way to make a happy, positive picture. I almost look like a Disney princess. I said ALMOST! Don’t get carried away. Y’all know I don’t do Disney or the princess thing. However, I do love hydrangas and I love this pose from Luane’s World. I felt it was the perfect way to show off this sexy silky number from Lybra. So say what you want about how pretty and delicate this photo is, you gotta know that under this pink silk lies the soul of something dark and depraved. *grins*

Slow Down

As I was driving home from therapy, I got behind a navy and silver SUV. I was thinking how great the colors looked together and why there aren’t more two tones cars. Eventually, I realized that it was a State Trooper. So glad I wasn’t tailgating. HA! So, as we’re traveling along the same road, I come upon my exit, or rather on ramp, and the trooper wants over. I motion for her/him to come on over and s/he does. We circle around the ramp and approach the interstate. Just as we get to the spot where its time for us to merge into the other lanes, this little silver sedan goes flying by at top speed. I thought to myself immediately, “Bad timing, Dude.” The trooper and I both merge rather effortlessly. I hold back from my usual shot forward, because I ain’t trying to catch a ticket. Low and behold, the trooper shot forward. At first, I thought s/he was just bolting forward because s/he can. Then I saw it. The lights started flashing and as I got closer, s/he had indeed chased down the silver sedan and was pulling it over.
In that moment, I couldn’t help but think how much a single minute in our lives can make a difference. If the silver sedan had been one minute behind us, maybe…. If the trooper had been one minute faster…if I had been one minute faster or slower, would I have been the one getting the ticket? Naturally that made me think of how fast things move in Second Life. I don’t move as quickly as most and I suppose that’s why I have remained single all this time. I know what I like. I know what I don’t like. I know myself well enough to know whether or not I’m going to be romantically compatible with people fairly quickly. I think I tend to move a bit quickly with friendships and trust friends more than I should, but I’m not ready to change either of those things about myself. Not just yet, but I think we could all benefit by take a moment to slow down. The internet isn’t going anywhere. Second Life isn’t a race and collecting partners is not the goal. I think its more important to share love and laughter as often as possible…and THAT is what I’m all about.

Deck the halls

Well, Hi there! Don’t mind me, I’m just putting ornaments back on the tree…perhaps a little higher than they were before. Why? Oh, you must not have cats. Anyone that owns a cat knows why…*laughs* So goes the life of a cat lover during the holidays! Deck the halls with lost ornaments from the tree…falalalala la la laaaa…ouch, was that broken glass? OMG! Where is that soon to be dead cat?

Impossible to trust

When you make promises and break them, you are impossible to trust. It doesn’t matter whether its a personal or professional promise…if you say you’re going to do something and never say otherwise…then you don’t do it? You ruin any chances of me ever trusting you again. And word will get out that you’ve broken those promises. You think that the people you’ve hurt will never speak up? You’re wrong. We do speak up and we speak to each other. Don’t ever think that you’re so special or important or successful that you can just walk on people without consequences. Trust me, there is a karma out there waiting for you and you will NOT like it. There will come a time when you depend on someone and they are going to leave you hanging just like you left those whose hearts were broken right along with the promises you broke. You will sit there wondering why people treat you this way or that way, but deep down…you know damn well why. Good people do not just walk away from their responsibilities, their obligations, their commitments. They simply don’t…and I don’t care what you believe in, you best believe that all that nasty wasted energy you created with your lies will come back to you and it will not come with a warning. Your day will come and we will be watching.

Just like a flower

Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun. ~Don Miguel Ruiz
