Some of you may wonder why I rarely write about the latest controversies – i.e., the new Open Space sim pricing policies, the Freebie Culture, dolphin safe tuna, etc. Well, I’ll tell you what…..Second Life and this blog are my respite from the stresses of Real Life and I do not want to think about stressful things while I am here.
This is my happy place. I wish to keep it as fun as possible. Some people may call that selfish, but I do not care (and that, my friends, is as controversial as I will ever get on this blog).
Since by nature I like to keep things light, if I attempted to write about something contentious, I would have to try very hard not to write a limerick or something equally amusing (at least to myself) about it. For example, it was impossible to not write these:
Some people bought Open Space Sims
Thinking they’d live there with prims.
But the land must be devoid
Or Lindens get annoyed
And they’ll increase the price at mere whims.
Or even:
People like to acquire things for free,
Like hair or a dress or a tree.
Freebies are nice things to get,
But some people think they’re a threat.
What will happen to our economy?
Do you see how inappropriate I can be sometimes? These are serious topics.
We are all just lucky that I could not figure out how to make those into dirty limericks.
