I’m Taking Care of My Procrastination Issues – Just You Wait and See!!!

I’m Taking Care of My Procrastination Issues – Just You Wait and See!!!

(Timestamp 8.35am) I've talked before about my love of Mondays...it's the day I procrastinate least and feel most positive about my workload. I wish I had Mondays focus on Thursdays! Nike says Just Do it... Fancy Decor says Get Shit Done...either way this is my work space and it's where I go to focus and [...]

We’re on a Road to Nowhere

We’re on a Road to Nowhere

Or are we on a road to something else entirely? I made a couple of new friends this weekend in Second Life and it got me thinking about those important first IM's. I, like many people, nearly always ignore just 'hi' or 'hey' ims but if a first IM intrigues me or asks a question [...]

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People – A Facebook Story

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People – A Facebook Story

  Facebook is a powerful tool for promotion for businesses, bloggers, personalities...you name it Facebook can be used to help promote it. Used incorrectly it can have quite the opposite effect than that which the user initially intended. A lot of us refer to the facebook we use with our second life avatars as 'SL [...]

Put a Little Spargel in your Life

\o/ I got on quite a roll with decorating my 'project' for the duration of Home and Expo 2016. The Spargel & Shine home, Bocas Belle is available at the Expo which runs until 6th March and over the course of the next few weeks I will be taking time to decorate the house. Of [...]

The Six Songs Series – Part 1 – Songs That Make You Cry

The Six Songs Series – Part 1 – Songs That Make You Cry

I was reading an article on the BBC website today called '6 Songs That Make People Cry and the Reasons Why'. It struck me because just the day before I had been watching Room 101 on the BBC where the host, Frank Skinner, argued that he couldn't put the film Grease in Room 101 because [...]

Don’t Stop Dreaming Just Because You Had a Nightmare

Don’t Stop Dreaming Just Because You Had a Nightmare

It's easy to let a bad experience shape our decisions in the future. I'll be the first to say that we should take the learnings from the bad experiences into anything new and be wary but I also am a great believer in never saying never because you just don't know who or what is [...]

With Words the World is at your Feet

With Words the World is at your Feet

Up until May of this year I had blogged erratically using a Blogspot site. In May I made the decision to move to WordPress and put a renewed enthusiasm into blogging and I haven't looked back since. I don't think it's necessarily the change in platform that did it...though I do find this platform suits [...]

Real Life Ate Christmas

Real Life Ate Christmas

I mentioned a few weeks ago how about how my plans for Christmas completely and utterly changed with one phone call. Suddenly I went from having a quiet Christmas with just my partner and children to having various arrangements for parents, siblings, nieces, cousins etc.  I've literally just closed the door behind the last of [...]

Relationships – Should you Trust From the Start?

Relationships – Should you Trust From the Start?

Trust is a word that has featured a lot in several conversations the last few days both in SL and in RL. Trust is an anomaly, it's something so simple and fundamental and yet complex and multi-layered and you can't have a relationship, of any kind, without it. That Man Has Guilt Issues My rl [...]

SLEtiquette – Why is it so hard for some people to grasp?

SLEtiquette – Why is it so hard for some people to grasp?

Anyone that knows me knows this is a subject that I can bang on about ad infinitum and I'll try not to do that to you today. I also don't want this to come across as 'newbie' bashing because while a lot of the behaviour I'm going to cover is often seen by newbies to [...]
