Photo Editing FTW

Hi All!

So I've been lost in The GIMP my Absolute favorite Art program. I've made a new banner for the blog here and of course will continue to tweak and play around with it, I'll be making a few more images for public consumption soon. While playing around with a few other projects I have gotten some interesting assets and ideas to play with.

So for now I've been hanging out and listening to music in Second Life with my friends from Wellstone Cafe and Dancing Liberally. Patriotboy, Jackson Street Books and a few others have kept me company and indulged in my antics.

EDIT: so I forgot to set a publish on this, so here it is time travel in the digital age!

Concert in Second Life

Tonight I had the GREAT pleasure to go to a concert, it was my first large concert in the virtual world Second Life.

The Band, Evanescence, from what I understand about the event it was the audio from a live concert somewhere out there in RL, the Avatars in the crowd were treated to an on stage enactment of a live show.


I spent my time alternating between dancing with friends, and taking many photographs of the crowds and the performers.

Random Thoughts

The Proteus Without Lifering

While scrambling in RL and SL to get things done for the Holidays, I've been steadily working on The Proteus.

Cool Yule and Happy New Years to you and yours, here is another musical interlude to soothe a seared psyche.

Assemblage 23 - Lullaby

May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep
Despite the wolves outside your door
In time you will see them all as harmless
And their idle threats easy to ignore

And if ever fate should choose to smite you
Stand your ground, never walk away
Please don't ever let the world defeat you
Don't get buried in its decay

As you drift into the gauzy realm of dreams
May you take comfort in the thought that you are safe
For it only takes a fraction of a second
For all of this to change

CH
Return to me
When slumber's fog has lifted
Return to me
Stronger than before

As you sink beneath the soothing streams of time
May you be thankful that you had another day
For there comes a time when each of us will enter
A sleep from which we will never wake

And if ever fate should choose to smite you
Stand your ground, never walk away
Please don't ever let the world defeat you
Don't get buried in its decay

Close your eyes now, if only for a moment
For it's time you get some rest
The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you
Let go of your fragile consciousness

(CH)

Connect The Dots

Now for a musical interlude,
you know who you are.

By The Spill Canvas.



If your feet hurt from walking too much,
then I will tend to them, with a velvet touch.
If your lungs just don't want to work today,
then I'll perform a mouth to mouth until you're okay.

Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips,
circling your lips.
Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you,
I can tell you do.
I know all your favorite spots,
and tonight we will connect the dots.

If your muscles are wound up and tight,
then I will loosen up the knots until it feels right.
If your ears just ache from listening,
then I'll supply the remedy in the melodies I sing.

Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips,
circling your lips.
Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you,
well I can tell you do.
I know all your favorite spots,
and tonight we will connect the dots.

Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips,
circling your lips.
Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you,
well I can tell you do.
I know all your favorite spots,
and tonight we will connect the dots.
