The virtual world of Secondlife is a platform that can give you many things. It can give you sex, a job, a whole new style of life, it can even give you a family. I've mentioned Bloodlines before, and alot of times, from my view, clans of the BL's world are a family, very tightly close knit and willing to do anything for each other. When I first started playing BL's and joined my former clan Tear of the Phoenix, I had no idea how many new people I would meet. But slowly, I met each and every one of them, and they touched my life in ways that I never thought anyone would. We'd chat about things like a family would, stick up for each other when it seemed like harm would come. It wasn't long before I truly came to see them like my family. After some drama, things changed and when I came back from a crazy little mess up, I was walking into a family of new and old people. It was a different feeling, but it was still family and I latched on, hook, line and sinker.
Now, why do we do that, taking on the people that touch us so deeply near our heart, and making them our family? Is it because we're trying to fill a desire? Or is it just because there truly is the feeling of family there? I personally think both can apply, depending on the situation. For some, they don't have that family atmosphere that they want, so they turn to SL to fix that and help them cope. Others just feel like they have a family because they fight together, chat together, party together, and poke fun about stuff with each other.
That picture is of me and Spike, my big brother. He's taught me alot of what I know and dealt with alot of crap from me and for me. He and I, as far as my memory serves, have only had one very big parting, but for matters of my own reason I won't go into those. That's the past and I won't look back at that murky time because it was in the future when he came back and picked me out of the lowest depths that matters.
That is my entire clan (Well, mostly) We've gotten alot bigger since =^^= But you see, we're all a quirky little family that puts up with each other's craziness. And of course, the crazy discussions are all I need to have a great day. Last night and early this morning reminded me of just why they are my family and that bond is something that can't be replaced. That reason: They accept me and, as quoted by my Big sis Synthya and my bro Ky, they'll love me for me. And I will cherish them and defend them with all my heart. Because that is family.
So I've had my mushy moment, now it's off I go till next time!

Hello there, and welcome to my blog! This was just a random inspiration by two funny people, my big brother Spike and my friend/acquaintance Yu. If ya know me from SL, well cool, hi again! If not well....that's okay too. I guess my first thing to say is that this blog is my random thoughts. Yes, the things that go on in my head, thoughts, very odd ones sometimes. Of course, there are some deep thoughts that aren't so random too, so don't worry, it won't be totally wasted....I hope. If so, it's a free world, you can go use you're time elsewhere, and I'll just keep doing what I do! You'll either enjoy it, hate it, or just read it because you're bored. I simply write it because I felt like I might have something to say that people would like to hear.
Know what that means? These are my opinions, what I think, not what I believe society should think. Okay that's somewhat a lie, I do now and then believe some stuff I think about should be how society thinks, but whatever. It's a free world and what not. So no, I'm not here to post what you think I should, merely what I want. Don't like that? Too bad.
Mainly with this blog, I'll go over many topics. Random, funny, music based, experience based, drama and all sorts of other bases. So in a small way, you'll get a hint of me, but not much. See the blog title? It's gonna stick to it's name. Though I don't know how simple it will be.
So I guess the basic start is how I, the SecondLife me to be exact, came to be really. No, you're not going to know me real life and I don't plan on it till the very far future. The most you'll get out of this as far as my RL is how I discovered SL. My memory is a bit vague, so don't expect a huge description of everything. So then...it starts.
I came to learn of SL via a classmate of mine in college back in April of 2010. We'd only just started the course, and he was one of the few people I actually found would talk and not stare at a cell phone or into a dagum mirror. So we chatted a while, got to become acquaintances and he asked me about a virtual reality game called SecondLife and if I'd ever played it. Of course, having just then heard of it, I said no and he proceeded to tell me about it and I thought it sounded pretty cool so I said I'd try it out. I had alot more time on my hands at that point, as the real world hadn't caught up to me and drug me down to it's hellish depths, so I went home and 1, 2, 3 tada! There I was, a little n00b avi, walking like I had problems and thinking it was the coolest thing ever and that I looked awesome. After a day or two of wandering God knows where, I met up with my college friend and he set me up to not look so ick as he informed me that I really didn't look that great. Then we did the first thing that he said was a good way to start: Going to clubs. Plenty of people to meet, lots of good music and tons of animations that made me laugh. I had no clue of anything but partying and staying up late before wandering to a random spot and logging out. A few weeks later, if memory serves correct, I'd get into bloodlines through a user who turned out to be not as nice as he seemed. Of course, it'd be through him that I'd meet alot of wonderful, fun, inspirational and not so inspirational people, and it'd be through them that I would learn all I know today. I might go into more detail about those people, seeing as they deserve it.
But I guess all that is for another post, when I'm not bouncing all over to figure out what I should write about. To get the basic point acrossed, this blog will be my thoughts, random and serious, and cover numerous topics and other things. Will it bore you? I don't know. Do I care if I offend you, or bore you? Nope.
So then, till next time~
