Dust in the Wind

I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes a curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Now don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and Sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind

Holiday candies to everyone!

There's no better feeling in the world than having a beautiful girl clinging to you, trusting completely in you, giving herself completely to your wishes as the Mayan Long Count Great Cycle begins anew.

My good Aussie friend Marie Monk, who when not rowdy and completely stone-faced drunk, is just about the sweetest nicest girl in SL, was really too cute in her holiday outfit, so I donned the santa's hat from the Santa's Revenge toy and we took some cool holiday pics.

Couldn't find the damn candy cane though, which was most fortunate for my unsuspecting candy girl. So happy holidays from all of us to you! May you find your own sweet candy to usher in the new Mayan Long Count Cycle!

For more good information on the Mayan Calendar, here's this link from Foxnews, which for the first time that I know of, is actually good for something after all ;-)

PS. It's interesting that Psy's Gangnam Style, youtube's most viewed video ever (it's currently at 994 million as I write this), is going to hit one BILLION views on the same day the world end. Coincidence? lol.

Gangnam Style

Because one can never have enough of a Korean guy pretending to ride an invisible pony.

But seriously, the song is about the crass materialism of a tiny suburb in South Korea, with the singer lampooning one of the residents of that town.

And anything that makes Bill O'Reilly look like a total tool and beats up on Bieber can't be all that bad.

Break

"I need more good SF books, and less SL crap."

It's been a very busy summer, with the new DMH Penis upgrade going out in mid-June, then the DM Pussy introduction on July 20, the DM Whip on August 3, and now the DM Vibrator Set launching today.

I have to admit, I feel burnt out and tired, and it would be good to have a break from all the shit and filth and bullshit that swirls around SL (none of which means anything in the real world). Plus, lotsa RL stuff that needs doing, which of course is more important by far than SL.

There'll be more innovative products I think come Fall, but for now it would be good to take a break and take stock of our progress, our misadventures, and our failures this last couple of months.

"Losing yourself" in a fictional character can affect your real life

"Ummm, yeah, that's the inner me...really!"

Interesting study from Ohio State University that confirms what most people would believe, that even just reading some book about fictional characters can have strong impacts on what you do and feel in real life. Since SL is significantly more immersive than simply reading a book, people have to be careful about how they portray themselves in this virtual world, and be careful to prevent "leakage" of SL activities that could cause negative consequences into the real world.
