Now that the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Holiday is
winding down and the year is wrapping up, many are preparing for 2013 all
around the world. I'm glad that this year is coming to an end, it was a rough one. I find myself looking
back at 2012 with mixed emotions; cautiously looking ahead. Since Doomsday didn’t
snuff us out and with the Fiscal Cliff issue looming in front of us. I’m kind of
on the fence about the real world and unsure what to expect.
In the real world, between the increasingly out of place
weather patterns, and tragic headlines to the whole 2nd Amendment Right
to bear arms debate. I’m not sure I want
help for my shameless Second Life© addiction. I believe it is safer than any
synthetic marijuana high or bath salt binge I could go on and I certainly don’t
want to deal with getting mugged, carjacked or shot at. OK, Maybe.
I’m getting a little bit too paranoid
here. I’m just saying…It is a crazy
world we are living in and I think some things need to change for the better so
we can all feel safer in our own cities, towns and neighborhoods.
In Second Life, we don’t have to worry about bodily harm unless we face plant our keyboards due to lack of sleep,
but we do need to protect ourselves from ignorant people that are negative and
have absolutely no clue what business or even personal ethics consist of. I think reputations and integrity need to be valued
more. Those with bad intensions need to
find a new hobby to make room for those that can bring back the excitement of Second Life’s
innovative digital culture.
My hope for 2013 is that
this year is better than last and the issues that are most important to us are addressed
and resolved. This will help us move forward in both worlds.
Have a Safe and Happy New Year wherever you are in the world.
I look forward to a new year of experiences, news, event and ideas.
xoxo
