The Highlight

Elves and Everquest

2009-08-26T15:27:00.000-07:00

It's no secret that me and Dinalya been spending time together on EQ2. We have been playing for close to 4 months now and last night was definitely a special night for both of us. Both myself and Dinalya managed to finish our mythical quests and finally obtain the mythical version of our class specific weapon. In order to obtain the mythical version of your weapon you first have to complete a very long quest line to obtain the weapon first. The quest is a solo and group (require up to 6 people) and once the weapon is obtained, you have to complete a series of raid quests which require 24 people to complete. Finally in order to obtain the final piece you have to defeat the final raid boss of the expansion pack. Yes it is no easy task and to think that we finally obtained those weapons after starting over on a new server in less than 4 months is just amazing.

Dinalya plays a High Elf warlock and I play a Dark Elf Shadow Knight and it seems like such a perfect match for us and our story. This whole thing just seems like one amazing dream and sometimes it's so perfect that I start to fear I might wake up at any moment.

The guild we are part of are just so impressed with our ability and play style and they are relying on us immensely. I'm back at a high level raiding guild as the main tank and Dinalya is one of the top DPSers in the raid.

In short, we are having an amazing time together, on SL, on EQ2 and other place *smiles*. This quest line has mainly been the reason why we haven't been able to focus on SL or be on SL much lately. Even though we are done with our mythical weapons we have the new expansion pack just around corner come early 2010 and me and Dina are both working on a new character each. A Berserker for me and a Dirge for Dina. Here are a couple of pictures of the message that was sent to every player online when we obtained our mythical weapons.

Safe

2009-06-26T22:36:00.000-07:00

Comfort ....I search for it day and night, everyday. Each day I find more and more companions on my journey to discovering and finding ever lasting comfort, watching every face filled with fear, desperately seeking that safe place.

Every day I wake up and search for my comfort out of fear. Fear of not being good enough, fear of losing, fear of wanting more. fear of deceptive minds, fear of success, fear of ..loving.

Then one day she walked in, with an image so perfect, a love so soothing, a look so calming, a presence so comforting.......

And now ...I feel safe.

What do we look for in a relationship?

2009-06-14T14:15:00.000-07:00

What do we look for in a relationship? love? romance? comfort? compassion? for me personally, a relationship is about what you can give to another person, what you can bring to their life and in turn what they can bring to yours. Love, compassion, comfort and romance are mandatory in a relationship, but so are those little things that make you smile, make you feel connected and cared for. Ultimately in a healthy relationship you and your partner walk through life with a smile on your face and a content heart, feeling so amazing about life but more importantly than that, about yourself.

Recently I have seen people have tainted the above traits in a relationship. Where one making their partner feel good about him or herself was considered a noble and loving act, is now considered to be taking advantage of someone in a weak state. Where paying attention to the details of your partner's life, their loved ones such as buying birthday presents for their little ones was considered compassion is now an evil deed of single men preying upon women with children. Is that really the case? or maybe we portray them that way when a relationship comes to an end?

I'm not so sure anymore, but what I do know is that we all desperately are searching for a relationship that can bring those traits into our life, a relationship that will make us feel better about ourselves and make this world a more beautiful place to live in. If by loving and carrying and showing the utmost affection and love towards someone you fall in love with, you are setting yourself up to be berated and blamed and called a scavenger who preys on the people when they are in -need- ..then is it worth the trouble? Why strive to bring more into someones life when at the end it will be used as a weapon to rip you apart? I say ....it's worth it. Making someone feel good about herself when they need that in their life the most is worth the backlash. I for one am not planning on giving up on trying every single day to make my partner smile out of fear of being accused of preying upon her.

If we take a moment and think about this, and ask the people who have recently "tainted" those traits .."If your relationship had not yet ended ..wouldn't you want your partner to make you feel good about yourself? Wouldn't you love to see your partner get to know your children, love them and care for them?" I doubt the answer would be a no. On top of that if these traits are considered to be "using" someone at the moment of their weakness ...then something must be taken away in return that is of much more value. When you are made happy, feeling good about yourself and your partner is loving and caring for your child, would you say you are being "used"? and if yes ...what exactly is being taken away from you in return?

Let's play!!!

2009-05-14T21:09:00.000-07:00

There seems to be a cool game that some people been playing around blogs. The rules of this game are simple, you start up a blog entry, pick on an on going drama and start to talk about how annoying and immature and sad the drama is, by making your own Internet drama, then toss a picture of a mentally challenged human being and bam you are one of the top players of this new game.

Considering I haven't blogged in a few weeks, (which could be a good thing) I kind of feel left out, I wanna play too!!! Ok ok ...so I need to first pick out a target. Then I need to find a picture of a mentally challenged boy or girl to go with it, then start trying hard to act like this big Internet bad boy.

So ....Let's see, Dancien from SCD would be the perfect target. Almost too easy ....... So for those of you that do not know him, allow me to introduce him to you all. Folks this is Dan :

Hi Dan! This is what our friend Dan had to say earlier, maybe I could learn a thing or two from him :

- don’t know what it is, but lately y’all have been just the pissiest bunch of internet assholes on the web. Which is amazing because the internet is full of assholes. I know this, because I happen to be one. And it’s okay to be an asshole. Really it is, not everybody is going to get along. And that is a good thing. Could you imagine SL Fashion Blogging if everybody loved each other? It’d be like one big long circle jerk with flowers and kittens, and puppies, and really…..nobody wants that. Right? (Side Note: If you do want that then you need to take your meds and get the fuck off my yard you Hippy)

So I guess this is the part where you come on and try desperately to pass yourself as some tough bad boy type of guy who doesn't give a shit about anything. You know calling yourself an asshole ect ...Dude ...you are trying way too hard. Seriously ... ok ok let's move on.

- Now, I was going to be a “good” boy and not mention any names but this morning I am particularly full of piss and vinegar. But I can not pass up a prime example of this “Waaaaahhh” trend in bloggers. So you know what Chalice Carling, you can just go ahead and take a bow. You’re little outburst yesterday was comedy fucking gold. For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about.

First of all Danny boy, Nobody ever knows what the fuck you are talking about. Second of all I thought you were the asshole, so why even bother saying you were trying to be the good boy? Or is that just something you write at an attempt to be funny and amusing? and by the way, what the fuck are you talking about anyway? First you talk about the bloggers who have been overly pissy lately due to the drama, and yet you are talking about how pissy you, yourself are now? Seriously ..what the fuck? So yeah we never really know what you are talking about.....

- "If you, Tenshi and the rest of your pathetic, low life lackey’s represent the calible of SL residents, then this game is fucked.”
First off, we still have no clue what calible is, so if you could go ahead and maybe translate from twat to english that would be awesome.Secondly, I guess Iris was too much of a bitch to help you awhile ago with photographs when you asked her for help…OH WAIT!! she did help you when you asked. Funny that no? Third, look we’re assholes. It’s true, Most of the SCD crew happen to think drama is fracking hillarious and a neccesary part of Second Life. Buf a fake plurk page, really? Does anything about Shopping Cart Disco scream subtle? If we don’t like somebody we have no problems telling the person that directly. Doing anything else is quite honestly a waste of our time so enough with that shit. But then you decided to make a blog post stating how horrible we are, how horrible the Second Life Fashion Industry is, and a bunch of other trite and then you end it with “I’m totally leaving Second Life”.

At least she is making sense Dan ....and are we talking about someone being ungrateful for the help they receive? Wasn't it you that ragged on me for even mentioning that I went out of my way to get Iris a PC and send it to her to help her get back on? I don't think you are an asshole as you like to claim Dan, to be a bad boy, asshole type of guy with a good sense of humor you need intelligence, you are flat out dumb.

- Give me a fucking break. The whole “I”m leaving” shit has been done to death. It’s been done since the internet started. I remember seeing that shit on BBS’ from way way way back. (For you kids out there a BBS was basically a small forum/whatever that you had to directly dial too back in the day). We all know that within a month you’ll be back either as yourself or with….an alt. So you know, good luck with that.

BBS ..Guess you grew up on the Internet ...then again where else would you be able to grow up with that face?

- Back to the original topic. Look guys, I like most of you. Some of you I’d even call a friend but I think everybody (myself included) may need to grind up some midol put it in the dough and make shut the fuck up cookies. While no…Second Life is not a game it’s still not real. *waves his hand infront of his monitors* This…is not real. So maybe every now and then we need to take a step back and quit taking it so fucking seriously. I think once that happens your experiences may indeed get better and you’ll quit being such pissy bitches.

If this is not real then why are you so pissy about it all? or wait this is the part where you come out and say something that majority likes to hear and will agree with to make your complete nonsense rant appear to have some wisdom?

I can tell you this though, grinding up some midol thing ain't going to fix your problems .....I was going to use the classic line and say "dude you need to go get laid", but then after having a look at your RL picture, realized there is no chance in hell of that ever happening. So I was going to say take a chill pill ? Nah ...your issues are far more complicated than that ...maybe get a hair cut ? hmmm that wouldn't do it either, I don't think even plastic surgery would fix that look. The only thing left for you to do is to just kill yourself.

Dan you remember when you posted a picture of me, and with some horrible photoshop skills you made a pathetic attempt to humiliate me by "pissing" on me??? Sure you remember that. You ever heard the saying "it's better to be pissed off than to be pissed on?", well in this case, it's better to be pissed ON ...then that to look like you ...cause seriously, only a mother could love you.

PS. Please tell Tenshi not to ever strip on on her web cam, not enough vodka around to get you through that one. Speaking from person experience.

So there! I did it. I'm one of the cool kids playing the game now! Oh wait ...I almost forgot I need to add the part where I say something that everyone likes to hear. Ok people I know we all get mad, including myself, we all have our moody days, but seriously if you are going to pick on someone, regardless of your mood, expect them to fire it right back at ya!

Men, Women ..and Sex ...

2009-03-17T19:22:00.000-07:00

"Dude see this is what you are going to do, you have to take her out to dinner, at a fancy expensive restaurant, treat her with good wine and you will get laid. I will even bet you on it !"

"You know you can't just get up and leave after it's done, you have to stay the night"

"Send her some flowers the next day or something !"

"Make sure you call her the next day, you don't want to make her feel used"

"Dude I can't go with you guys today, been a while since I had sex with the wife and she is in a good mood today don't wanna ruin it !"

Ok ..ok ...you get the point. See men get together and talk about women and sex (which is btw 90% of the time and the other 10% is porn) they all talk about their "moves and pick up lines", all the prep work they do to "score" and send one home. Then once it's all done, they have a list of things to do out of fear that the girl is going be totally upset at them. When a man has sex with a woman, it's almost like he has committed a crime and he has to pay his dues, even if they are married to the girl !

Well see we men, we fuck things, seriously, we do. We fuck women, then as soon as it's done suddenly we are totally in mood for everything as long as it's not sex. When a man wants it, they will do and say -anything- to get laid and almost as soon as it's done he will suddenly be in mood for ice-cream, or sports ..or whatever he is into. See we are dumb fucks and we know it. So once we sleep with a woman, the next day we feel bad about it. We know what dumb fucks we are, we can admit it, so we do everything we can to make it up to the girl because we feel so guilty. Hell men even have a list of actions that have become the standard post sex interaction and duties.

Now that's men for you. Women however ....will fuck you, make it look like you fucked them and make you feel in debt and pay for it ! See women on the other hand make it seem like they are doing the guy a favour by sleeping with him. I mean come on ! we have faith that something , somehow between all the back and forth movement the biology and whatever else that goes on there ..is pleasurable to women. However the women don't want you to know that ! They like to keep the guy feel in debt after sex.

You know, that's where the line "omg he just used me !" comes from. When a guy has sex with a woman, if the woman pleases so can easily play the victim and call out the famous line of "he just used me". I mean seriously ? It's not like the women just trip into some of those positions ! they willingly shift their bodies into them. On top of that, you know during the whole sex thing, there has got to be something about the whole thing that is pleasurable to women. So I just don't understand the whole "he used me!" just because a man and woman had sex together.

I mean we men know we are dumb fucks, however at some point the ladies have to take SOME responsibility in the whole thing too !

No ...seriously ... No ...

2009-03-09T22:09:00.000-07:00

No ..yep ..those 2 letters making the word "No" were enough to cause quite the stir in SL Fashion world. A certain someone put together an outfit using pink as the theme color and well Gogo posted the picture and all she said was "No".

Of course how dare anyone express a negative opinion of anything anyone makes ! I mean seriously when someone makes something, you HAVE to love it. You HAVE to ..because they made it so it must be good ! it has to be good, you WILL love it !

Now Gogo posts a picture of an outfit a blogger or content creator has put together and says either "Yes" or "No" to them. You know, kind of the like the whole "Hot" or "Not" thing ? However the person who put together the below outfit was offended because he received a "No" from Gogo. Of course his fan club unless their fury all over a few blog posts and you know how it goes from there on. Your typical blog drama. Anyway, now let's have a look at the picture and judge for ourselves :

OK Seriously ? wow ... I mean what in the blue of the bluest hell is that ? When you put something like that together how can you not expect a negative response ? I would go on and say if you can't handle criticism then you shouldn't be in the fashion world of any sorts, however i can hardly justify a "No" as criticism. Gogo posted this picture just like she does with every other picture she posts, if the audience laughed at the outfit, that doesn't make Gogo an inconsiderate bitch. That just means the outfit sucks.

So people just lay off Gogo, if anything you should be thanking her for being so polite about this disaster of an outfit. You wanna know what some of us REALLY think of this outfit ? I don't think even Bozo the Clown would wear something like that...specially with that head of hair. So be grateful Gogo just said "No" ..there is a lot more she and everybody else could say about this one !

Ok since I ranted off about how horrific this outfit is, allow me to share how i would wear pink :

Well that is all I have to say for now. Until next time :)

Putin's invasion of Georgia is unforgiveable !

2009-03-08T16:27:00.000-07:00

Ok well as I said on my Plurk page , I have something to say. The title of this entry is taken from one of the many articles about the incident. The Georgia invasion caused quite the stir in world's politics last year. Many people agreed and many disagreed with Putin's move. Thousands of theories, explanations and justifications was debated through out the world. Whether you agree or disagree with the invasion however is irrelevant to the topic of this post. When the whole drama surrounding the incident was going on, many people over looked something started to bother me a lot about the whole situation. How quickly the invasion was put to a stop !

Yes I did see a major problem with that, within days UN and the western super powers rushed in defence of Georgia and put a stop to the whole situation. Whatever the reasons behind the invasion were, if we can put a stop to an invasion of that magnitude so quickly , even when a influential country such as Russia was involved, then why are we putting a stop to all the conflicts around the world ?

Lets fast forward to the Israel's bombing incident just a little while ago. Again the world was divided, however this time the majority taking Palestine's side. Again the right and wrong of the situation is not something I like to get into in this entry. However what bothers me is, how LONG have the Palestine vs Israel conflict been going on ? If the UN and the rest of world are so concerned about world peace where they dash to Georgia's aid within days, how come this conflict hasn't been stopped ? Maybe the Georgia invasion wasn't part of the plan ? Maybe Russia played out of script on that one ? Or perhaps Israel and Palestine make a great revenue to sell out dated and over stock of our military equipments ? Millions of incident people are being killed and have been getting killed over decades, yet no one has really tried to put a stop to it.

So what purpose does this "democracy" serve ? even more so what purpose does voting for a new president or prime minister serve ? What purpose does freedom serve when the only freedom you can find is on the inside trapped within the limits set by such corrupted governments ?

Yes yes, lets point fingers at the governments like we always do. However we are forgetting is the fact that PEOPLE are the foundation of a nation, not it's government. If our governments are corrupted it's because WE the people are the foundation of that corruption. The whole Georgia incident made me sick to my stomach, and the fact our governments put a quick stop it upset me even more for reasons mentioned above.

Ok now that i got that out, we can go back to our usual flame wars and SL Fashion drama !

Highlight Reality : Online society

2009-02-15T09:22:00.000-08:00

Online communities, that is the topic of this post. Online communities are becoming more and more popular everyday with websites similar to face book, Plurk, MSN Live, ect attracting more users on daily basis. On another front you have the MMO games in the gaming industry also attracting a solid "Online" community. Of course with any community comes social circles, cliques, drama. However before I continue more on this topic, lets take a quick tour on who and what portion of our society makes up the majority of this "Online Community".

Before looking over the Online Community it is important to have a look at the original "gaming" community as it was the gamers who gave birth to the majority of today's online gaming communities. Originally, back in the late 80s, early 90s your typical gamer was the stereotyping "nerd" that really couldn't fit into the other social communities. However as the popularity of video games expanded, people from other social groups and communities started to give games a second thought. As more and more people from different social groups in our society starting to become "gamers" , the more the typical and original members of this community started to feel threatened and upset.

Video games, and the online society had become a sanctuary to the people who were unable to find any other social circle or community in the real world, be it for their physical appearance, lack of proper social skills or lack of a desirable personality. This community started to feel bitter and angry at the fact that people that denied them from other social circles were now entering their sanctuary. I have a story to share from a few years ago, that would be a perfect example to share :

In one of the online gaming communities that I was involved with, there were 2 best friends, both female players who were very open with their real life. They would share pictures with the community on daily basis and were basically the center of attention for a long while. These women were pretty, compared to the majority of the gamers, however far from being anything note worthy on the global scale. One day a new player, decided to share a picture of herself, this girl happened to be an extremely beautiful blond girl in her mid 20s. The 2 women along with their cult started to instantly target this new comer, for absolutely no reason other than her sharing a single photo of herself on a site that was created just for that purpose. The poor girl posted a second picture in a pose she was requested to prove the picture wasn't a fake and never ever went anywhere near that website again.

Above is a very sad example, but truthful example of the bitter and angry portion of the online community. Now this wouldn't be a Sands blog without naming names or linking links. So lets get to the point. Several time I have been the victim of the same type of behaviour. Allow me to show you where all the heat between me and Kota and her crew started. Have a look here : http://shoppingcartdisco.com/?p=777 Up to this point, I did not have the slightest clue who these people were. I had just made a post on SCD and here they were attacking me for absolutely no reason. You can see how I originally tried to handle the issue, and had a mutual friend of mine talk to them to let them know that i had no idea who they were and if at any point i had accidentally offended them that I am sorry for it. I even got in touch with Kota in world to maybe i could just deal with whatever issue they had. My friend came back to me with the response "they have made you their target, they aren't giving me a clear answer why and aren't going to change their mind about it either."

I let it be really, and ignored their public bashing of me. However when my break up with Meara went public, that group saw it as a perfect chance to jump on the band wagon and harass me even more. Well enough was enough at this point. This wasn't the first time nor was it going to be the last time for me to become the target of the typical angry and bitter online community members. I have to wonder, would my blog post upset this group of people had I not had posted a real life picture of myself ? Ironically that same week on SL secrets there was someone complaining about people who posted rl pictures of themselves on their blog.

Now I was targeted because I didn't fit the ideal image of a SL blogger demonstrated and created by this group of people. Perhaps I raised the standards of level of what is considered to be attractive in this world ? Perhaps Kota and her crew felt that their online sanctuary was threatened ? Even to this day I'm baffled as in why exactly I was targeted and when asked why I wasn't even given a reason. With so much pre-determined and unreasonable bitterness and hate, of course the moment I made the slightest form of retaliation to their catty and bitter behaviour I was suddenly painted as a major asshole. It is easy to hate someone who you are extremely bitter towards.

Well I could do just what the girl from my example did, just walk away and step out of the world these angry nerds are protecting with their lives who will do whatever it takes to push out anyone who might be remotely attractive, or remotely more desired than they themselves are. Well guess what ? I didn't and I am not going to. With the advancement of technology, and popularity of online communication tools and online gaming you should expect a lot more people outside of the typical "gamer society" (as mentioned earlier) to enter this world. Learn to live with it and get over your bitterness.

Can you blame me ?

2009-02-13T18:03:00.000-08:00

Well as the title of this post says, can you blame me ? Recently I have been getting a lot of heat from certain people due to the previous blog post I made. Some people claimed it was "too harsh", some said I was an asshole for attacking others like that, some enjoyed it, and some just shook their head. However many people rushed to the defence of their friends and started going on a rant about how it is not right to talk about others the way I did. Clearly these people failed to read the post, to realize -why-those people were targeted.

Let me ask you all a question, some of you came to the defence of your friends and deemed it totally justifiable to attack me based on my post. So my question to you all is, how can you justify your behaviour acceptable because it is defending yourself or a friend yet I was blamed for defending myself after being provoked several times in several different places ?

Let me show you an example of this, take a look at this plurk kota's comments . Now I have not even had this woman on back of my mind , let alone provoke her in any shape or form, yet she walks into a plurk and totally decides to take a shot at me. Would I be an asshole to turn around and say that I'm glad that there are different rooms between me and some ugly chubby sad excuse of a woman who looks like this ?

Here is the deal people, you can hate me all you want, harass me, attack me and form your opinion of me. However my previous post and the people mentioned had been harassing me and taking shots at me several times before I decided to respond. Much like Kota's comments here, Meara's frenzy on SCD and several plurks, Stephanie's plurk where she edited and modified my words to paint me out as something i never claimed to be. You say I should have take the high road and walk away ? I didn't see many of you do that when I made my previous blog post.

Bottom line is, some of you got a sore spot, because when you threw a couple of stones at me, i dropped a mountain on your head. I'm NOT going to take the high road, and walk away when someone tries to abuse me or harass me. That is not me, it's not my personality and I am absolutely NOT sorry for anything I said in this blog or the previous one. If you attack someone, expect them to defend themselves, don't go whining when they hit you harder than you hit them.

Below is text logs for people who can't view the blog :

Have a nice day :)

February 14, 2009 at 00:51 'Kota? Yeah. says Maybe he wasn't invited?

February 14, 2009 at 01:27 The Sexy Beast says yep, ask Tenshi i'm sooooooo sore over this Kota, I mean wow ...Kota doesn't like me the world is coming to an end

The Highlight Reality

2009-02-01T13:04:00.000-08:00

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the return of "The Highlight Reality" !!

The Highlight Reality was invented during my time on SWG to basically hit people with a reality check. Unlike countless spineless blogger and authors and players around the online communities, in The Highlight Reality we aren't afraid to tell people exactly what we think of them in their face. You won't see the "certain someone said this" or covert flames towards others. Everything is as direct and open as they can be.Well, lets not waste any more time and get on with this edition of The Highlight Reality :

Sl and Fashion, yes there are a lot of fahsionista out here in this virtual world. Men and women talking about fashion, styles, clothes and brands. People share their ideas and style with one another and if you are into fashion it can be a wonderful thing. Well of course with that comes the exact opposite, the fashionista men and women that go out there to criticize the work and styles of others. One of these people happen to be Meara Deschanel and her WTF blog.

Now personally I am ALL for making fun of people's styles, yeah it can be fun. However when the author is someone who's only vacation is her sister's house, and only vision of clothes and fashion is what Target has to offer should keep their mouth firmly shut about what people wear around irl or on sl. When you think the Gap is the place "trendy" people shop at, and can't recall a single even semi-trendy shop in a conversation, you cannot possibly know much about fashion. Now I know coming to a virtual world such as SL and talk about fashion and get all bitchy and catty towards how other people dress their avatar may make you seem like the cool high school teenage girl that you never were, a little bit of a reality check is in order. So next time you decide to talk about fashion and make fun of people's style, take a good look at yourself and your wardrobe and realize you need more than Target shopping spree fashion experience to qualify to make those judgements.

Now while we are on this subject still, Meara when I say the "biker" look is the trend, that means styles that have a biker flair to them, not actual biker outfits and a motorcycle hun, if you ever step out side of target you would know that.

Ok so ..moving on ..... It seems as though many have been shocked and absolutely offended that some people have been called a cheap basement bargain slut for the fact they have been publicly engaging in sexual acts. Well .... we will revisit this topic when we move on to the "I'm not a whore" section of this edition of The Highlight Reality. For now, I will clear up a couple of points here. First off, lesbian sex is only attractive when 2 GOOD looking women who weight less than 200 pounds get it on, not when we have a bunch of women who clearly lack a RL sex life and are well ...not so attractive get it on publicly where you can just stumble across it.

Also recently I was accused of calling Codie a monster. Please allow me to re-clarify that, I never thought of Codie as a monster. I more see him/her as a big red clown with a fat avatar who's only source of entertainment is plurk and plurk sex. So please, don't misrepresent me.

PS Codie, hun, sorry to break it down to you, but real people never say "it tastes divine" after an oral presentation. A woman's privates doesn't taste Divine ...it really doesn't Codie take it from people who speak from personal experience.

Truth Hawks, a man who's name is a sample of his creativity has recently decided to get himself involved with drama. See here we have discussions , hateful comments, flamings, going on about public cybering and such, and Truth jumps both feet in and starts talking about my RL picture ......what ? a little insecure there Truth ? Sad to see there are guys who play the game that actually look better than their avatars ? (true statement, been told that by several women) I tell you what, why don't you post a real life picture of yourself before you go around talking about other people's rl looks, because I can assure you you wouldn't measure up to my GOOORRRGEOUS waist. I get more pie in one night than you would get your entire life Truth, remember that. Now I have a question for you and I'm not afraid to say it in your face unlike you with your comments towards me. How does it feel like to be half a man ? Must really break your heart to see what I am huh ?

Talk about misrepresenting people's words and thoughts. Recently it seems Stephanie Misfit has become the 18235th person to have a problem with me. Now I have absolutely no problem with people who have a problem with me, but if you are going to hate me and flame me, at least do it in my face and don't lie about it. See Stephanie I make a comment about how "I think people who engage in public sex for attention and do it in places where it does not belong are cheap basement bargain sluts", you make a plurk saying "Sands thinks women who cyber are cheap basement bargain sluts", and you do it with your timeline set to private so I can't correct the "misunderstanding". Are you that desperate ? Why didn't you just copy/past what i said and bash on it ? Oh ..right ...because no one would have disagree with me calling people who pull their pants down at every public gathering a cheap basement bargain slut.

To me Steph, it seems like this gets under your skin because you seem to be able to relate to it. Whatever your reasons are, if you are going to disagree with someone and call them on it, do it where they can respond to you and don't change and modify their words. You may not be a cheap basement bargain slut in my eyes ...yet ....but you certainly are among the girls who walk up to me and say "hi" every time i leave my house and I throw $20 at them and tell them to fuck off.

Ok lets round up this edition of The Highlight Reality with the "I'm not a whore" statement made by Meara Deschanel in defence of her behaviour as of late. A few nights ago, Meara offered me sex and threesome as payment if I could convince a friend to remove a blog post. These type of behaviour tagged along with her public sexual acts has led her to use the line "I am not a whore" more than the usual.

Before we move on, let me bring up the official translation of the word "whore" :

–noun
1.
a woman who engages in promiscuous sexual intercourse, usually for money; prostitute; harlot; strumpet.–verb (used without object)
2.
to act as a whore.
3.
to consort with whores.–verb (used with object)
4.
Obsolete. to make a whore of; corrupt; debauch.

intr.v. whored, whor·ing, whores
To associate or have sexual relations with prostitutes or a prostitute.
To accept payment in exchange for sexual relations.
To compromise one's principles for personal gain.

Take a look at the highlighted section, now that is not me making a personal "opinion" , that is the translation of the word. Meara Deschanel, you may think you are not a whore ...but as far as the largest English dictionary source on the web http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/whore is concerned, you are indeed ...a whore.

Have a great day everyone and enjoy watching fake American Football tonight :D

PS If you have something to say to someone, have the balls to say it in their face.

Blog Response : What is SLove ? ..what is love ?

2009-01-21T11:00:00.000-08:00

Iris made an interesting blog about Slove, which you can read here. She brought a lot of valid reasons regarding real relationships and what comes with it. More than that, she brought up essence of a modern relationship in our society today. I have been writing a blog post which I haven't got around publishing yet about "Love", Iris's blog opened a brand new dimension to my thought process and I figured a blog response to her great post will be a good preview and warm up for my own still in the making blog post.

Reasons that Iris brought up in her post about "reality of real relationships" is why I don't like marriages or the whole "serious" relationships irl. See today's definition of love has been greatly influenced by the media. The perfect fantasy romance between a good looking guy and the gorgeous girl who come together in movies, books, cartoons and games. They have presented "love" to be this perfect relationship where you only get to see your partner at their best and skip the well ..not so romantic parts of a real relationship. Movies do a great job of that.

I once read an article written by a middle age woman who was talking about why she hasn't been able to date a guy more than 2-3 months and one of her comments were "when he starts cutting his toe nails in front of me, that's when I leave. Because I wanna feel like the perfect fantasy girl that he is always drooling over."

Sounds shallow you might say, but love, just like many other things is based on the person's perspective. I personally don't like to deal with the not-so-romantic parts of a relationship, such as the bad morning breaths. In return I don't even want my partner to experience that from me. Sure all those are part of reality and part of nature, but we have come a long way to deny nature and sensor the unpleasant aspects of it to build a more luxurious life.

For me personally, I would rather carry a what some may call "fantasy" or "fictional" relationship by not moving in, getting married, or being together 24/7. I like having to get ready to see my partner, waiting on her, i want every day to be like a date. That is my choice and what satisfies me personally. Of course others may have a different perspective on love.

Even SL relationships have their "reality checks" as I like put them. When you are around the same person for too long, you start to pick on their not so romantic habits. However love ..in a romantic relationship between 2 people has always been and still is a simulation of mind and what you make it to be, even in "RL". You choose what you consider love based on your perspective and personal experiences, then you build a simulation in your mind that defines and describes everything around you. It is our perception that defines our feelings.

Have you ever stopped to think how your partner sees you ? What they might see you as , and what you might be defined to them in terms of personality, looks, style, feelings, attitude could totally be different than what you may think they are seeing you as. Which is why reality is relative.

As an example you may look at a red rose ...and think of a romantic guy who walks up to you and gives you one. Your partner may look at the same red rose at the same time as you...and think of a funeral. You are both looking at the same rose ...so ..which one of your perceptions is more real ?

SL vs RL Fashion : Suspenders !!!

2008-12-17T19:28:00.000-08:00

Before I start this blog entry, there are a couple of things I would like to address. First of all, thank all who have taken the time to read my blog and thanks for all the positive feedback ! Secondly, I apologize for the fashion section of the blog being a little slow with updates, with the holidays around the corner and a new job I have been crazy busy. It will however be updated a lot more often, once the holiday rush is over and done with.

Now on to the second edition of SL vs RL Fashion ! Yes you read it right, the topic of this edition of SL vs RL Fashion is suspenders. For the past couple of years, fashion trends have been going in a direction that may be somewhat of a surprise to alot of people. Unisex seems to be the topic of most designers these days, with ladies ties, double breasted blazers, and dress shirt/tie combos making the line between men's business wear and women's business wear very blurry. Some women have been a tiny bit freaked out with some of the store displays being so focused on suit/dress shirt/tie combos for women, some really liking it. Of course suspenders are no exception to the list.

You might say "suspenders on guys ? yuck that's something my grandpa would wear". Well normally I would agree with you, however one of the many great features of being "trendy" is that you are able to grab the old junk pieces such as this :

Add a little flavour to it, mix it in with a modern and trendy outfit and get a much sexier, attractive look. You might wonder how you can wear suspenders without looking like uncle Jimmy Jack ? (or the above picture ..poor old man) Here are a few ideas for both RL and SL :

Sorry ladies you might all look good with suspenders, but we men still rule the suspender sexiness department :p

Have a good Christmas everyone and happy new year !

SL Fashion vs RL Fashion !

2008-12-09T17:43:00.000-08:00

For starters, a little about me and what brought about this post. You can partly blame Owly for this one, she made a comment under my previous blog entry (The highlight got Highlights) about how I looked really similar irl as I did in SL and how it was confusing her. Considering I had my last day in fashion irl just a few days ago, (yes I'm a straight guy who worked in fashion :p ) I have been more in the mood to mess with clothes and fashion on SL. Previously, after a long day at work, the last thing I wanted to deal with anything fashion related on SL. Now though, I can get my fashion fix to work on SL and I already have !

I have always been what I call an "emotional" dresser, rather than a logical or trendy one. When dressing for personal pleasure, I usually take a very loose concept of what the current trends are and dress up based on how I feel. I always have a pre-determined idea of what I want to look like, before I buy a single piece of clothing in SL or in RL, from my hair style all the way to my shoes. Basically I create an outfit in my first, then start shopping. Also being as I dress based on my emotions, what I'm wearing always represents my personality.

Which is why my SL avatar and my RL style match, because I dress with the same logic on SL as I do irl. In this blog I wanted to share my a few pictures of my SL avatar and my style on SL compared to my style in RL.

With 60s/70s biker look being the current theme behind men's fashion this year, I decided to base my outfits around theme both irl and on SL. Here are a few samples :

Above is one of my most recent outfits on SL that I put together. For details and break down on the items contact me on SL (Sands Leavitt). Now below are a few pictures of one of my RL outfits based on the same theme.

There is me irl and one of my favourite outfits that I put together for myself this fall. As you can see there are a lot of similarities between my SL style and my RL style. Ever since I started being more attention to SL fashion, I have been inspired to try out similar outfit ideas from SL, irl, and vice verse. It has been a fun concept for me thus far, having the lines between SL and RL fashion blur can be fun at times.

In closing, some say that "anyone can look good in SL, just buy good looking skins, shapes and clothes." Some say anyone can look good irl if they have the time or the money to spend buying high end merchandise." I disagree, I believe there is a certain art in fashion and it takes a lot more than money or in case of SL "playing with sliders" to make an artistic, attractive and sexy avatar. I'll close this blog entry with one last photo. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog !

The Highlight got some Highlights !

2008-12-05T17:00:00.000-08:00

Ok well for the longest time, I have been wanting to try out highlights, Meara been wanting to see me with highlights soooo bad for the last year, she has been pushing me to try it out. I finally gave in and yesterday got my highlights done.

With that said, with my new look, SL, the online community, the internet, the city of Toronto, Province of Ontario, Country of Canada, continent of North America, planet Earth, the heavens above, the whole universe itself will never ....E E E E E E VERRRRRRR be the same again !

Here are a few pictures :

Sands and Sex and The City Movie

2008-12-05T01:22:00.000-08:00

Ok I kind of felt pretty unproductive tonight so I was tyring to figure out something to do, when suddenly this somewhat amusing but totally sad story came to my mind and I thought I should share it with you all on my blog.

Ok well you all remember the whole Sex and the City movie that came out last summer and all the buzz and fuss and blah blah ect ? Well ...I am ashamed to admit it, I actually went to watch that movie on the first day it came out. See that summer also the greatest piece of art in human history was going to be released. the final chapter in the Metal Gear Solid series. So earlier that day, I got a call from one of my best friends, she told me they were playing a Metal Gear Solid 4 theatrical trailer during the previews of Sex and the City ........

Of course I had seen that preview before, but being such a HUUUGGEEEE Metal Gear Solid fan I could not possibly pass up a chance to see that trailer and Solid Snake (the main character) on the big screen. So what did I do ? I of course go buy a ticket and stand in line, I kid you not I was about the only guy in the line that night. So I stand in long extremely ...awkward wait to watch the this trailer on big screen :

(for those you wondering ..YES I did walk out of the theaters as soon as this trailer ended. even I couldn't justify watching the Sex and the City movie ....)

Billybob Gone Wild !

2008-12-03T22:02:00.000-08:00

Ok well it was getting, in a cold ..cold night of december, I had my blankets wrapped around me and spending some time admiring the view from Meara apartment when I suddenly started to hear noises.

Well, it seemed like a troubled married coupled having a verbal fight battle, struggling with their relaitonship. Well ofcourse any decent human being will step away and not listen in on other people's verbal battles, special if its a relaitonship drama related fight....so I enlarged my chat window to be able to read it all ! OMG ...a man name BILLYBOB ....was having a fight his girlfriend/wife or whatever the heck that thing was in local chat not knowing I could totally hear them ..or in this case see what they were typing.

So the decent, caring and sharing human being that I am, I made I copy their entire log and share the love with the rest of the community. I mean, it is all about sharing and passing the love right ?

Well here we have it, enjoy !

Highlight Wonder : Freedom Part 1

2008-12-03T19:52:00.000-08:00

This is going to be the first blog entry under my "Highlight Wonder" section. Any blog entry under the Highlight Wonder section are my questions on theories, perspectives, ideologies that I am curious about or unclear about. They are topics meant for people to read and to wonder about the topic and form their opinion, and if they wish, either drop comments to discuss it or make their own blog entry on the topic with their thoughts.

With that cleared up, ladies and gentlemen here is the first topic of the Highlight Wonder ! Freedom.

Freedom arguably has been and still is the most important word in human history. Throughout times, the word and concept behind "freedom" was used to control, motivate and unify the masses. Many great heroes fought for the freedom of their people, many people craved freedom, many even sacrificed their life for freedom. Civilizations have evolved around the concept of freedom, with each generation taking that concept to a new level.

Over time, through bloody battles, many sacrifices, we have come to create a world where in most places, we have choices and the freedom to make those choices for ourselves. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of self expression, and the list goes on. Today the concept of "freedom" is used by governments to control the masses, even more so than in the past. We have soldiers, men and women of nations sacrificing their most precious possession, their lives, to protect this freedom. They sacrifice themselves to allow us to live free, to live life the way we choose to, and every day we all thank them for the sacrifices they make. We have built this freedom through thousands of years worth of work, politics and battles, all so that we can live life free.

Even in our virtual world of SL, I have seen many express the importance of freedom on their blogs and in world. Many have talked about the importance of being able to make the choices regarding your sex, your religion, your perspective and to be respected regardless of the choices we make. Many seem to feel very passionate about this topic and will fight it to death, however few of them know what freedom really is, and are just sheep following the new and FOTM social trend. However this is not the subject of this entry, that topic is for another day.

In this entry, I have a question to ask our society that I am truly confused over, because I am conflicted about it, and do not know what to make out of it. We all value this freedom we have obtained with our lives, then why is it that the first thing we take away from someone we fall in love with is their freedom ?

SL Fashion : Fashion vs Function

2008-12-01T11:17:00.000-08:00

I was reading Quaintly's Look of The Day post the other day and ended up commenting on her blog, when I mentioned the fact I hardly see any women carrying purses on SL, or for that matter seeing any pictures of SL women holding a purse. Quaintly made an interesting comment that there was no need for anyone to carry a purse around on SL. Which brought up an interesting point that I have often thought about but never really talked about. Fashion vs Function !

Fashion in itself is based of and originated from functional pieces, used by every man and woman everyday. Think of t-shirts, Pants, Belts, Coats, scarves, ..ect they all have a purpose. Coats and scarves are items we use to keep warm, we use basic t-shirts and shorts to cover our body, use belts to help keep the waist line of our pants where we want it to be. However over time, naturally these every day pieces started to become more than just necessary pieces . They started to become a symbol of a person's social class, the more elegeant the outfits were, the richer and more important the person was. That trend carried on and expanded through out history in many different cultures.

Today we are at a point where clothes not only represent a person's life style, but they also help define a person's personality through fashion trends. We now see the pieces used as function designed dramticlly, big belt buckles, fancy silk scarves that no longer are there to keep you warm, chain belts tied around a woman's hips, no longer there to help keep the pants up ! even over sized sunglasses and the list goes on.

It is obvious that fashion has expanded and grown and today alot of pieces once used for function are no longer just there for the function but are there for luxury purposes only. My question is, we can justify the use of these pieces for fashion purposes only in the real world, however in the virtual world of SL, where as it is a virtual world, should be the easier place to trade function for Fashion, we don't.

We wear over sized sunglasses, wear umcomfortable chain belts, carry over sized bags and purses to be trendy and trade comfort for looks in the real world, however on SL, our virtual world we tend to be more logical :)

Intresting eh ?

Is He Thinking of Cheating ?

2008-11-29T18:44:00.000-08:00

Ok I never thought my first actual blog post right after my introduction would be this .....but never say never I guess ! The title of this post "Is he thinking of cheating?" is from an article I saw today on MSN Life Style (yes yes I'm a guy and please try not to ask how I came across this thing ...) Please take a few moments to read it, it is not a very long article : http://lifestyle.sympatico.msn.ca/Relationships/NEWContentPosting_CL?newsitemid=3528&feedname=TRANS-CANADIAN-LIVING&show=False&number=0&showbyline=True&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc&date=False

Alright ....now, I have a problem with this and I'm going to blog about it. Why ? Because I can :). It seems like these days almost anyone can go around and write nonsense and majority of people will take it as "fact" because it is posted by a "professional". Such is where the whole "city trendy" culture comes from. You see, if a person in a relationship was to follow the advice of the author of this article, they could very well be ruining their relationship, instead of fixing it.

"1. He starts criticizing everything you do". Well maybe "He" is really wanting to improve what he has, our partners/best friends are suppose to be there to help us improve ourselves, just because I for example tell my girlfriend she should lose some weight to stay in shape and keep healthy doesn't mean I want to screw her best best friend ! Now some poor girl will read this, and tries to follow the now very popular "city trendy" culture and start a huge fight with her boyfriend because she wanted to make a constructive criticism.

Look at the rest of the author's reasoning, they are all unprofessional, uneducated and outright ridiculous. All of that aside, the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the title, before I even read the content of this article was "Why does it matter ? If you have to catch your partner before he cheats, then is it worth even being together ?". We don't get into relationships to try to catch each other cheat or prevent each other from cheating, if you have to prevent your partner from cheating and catch him before he does it, then you are better off not being with him. Now my personal opinion of what is considered "cheating" and my view on relationships is another post for another day.

Bottom line is boys and girls, if we all put in half the time we try to spy and catch our partner cheating on us, into making sure we are doing our best to keep ourselves and our partners happy, they wouldn't even feel the need to cheat. As far as the MSN life style article is concerned, that piece of junk needs to be taken off the website and the author should be banned from making any more "educative" articles.
