SOLITUDE

Recently, I took a trip above the Artic Circle, where I came across this incredible ice crystal mountain coming up from the sea.

It was huge, yet it was so beautiful in its simplicity. I had to walk closer and get a better look at it.

It appeared to have a path going around it, so I decided to follow it. Again the ice crystals were huge, yet they all seemed so delicate.

I found an opening in the ice crystal structure so I followed it inward.

Again it was beautiful. The light thru the ice had a calming blue hue to it. It was dead silence. The only thing I could hear was the snow crunching beneath my feet. When suddenly the little ice passage way opened up into a huge chamber. At the end to of the passage, there seemed to be a ledge that stuck out, allowing you to see the whole cavern.

It almost appeared to have a control panel made completely of ice. Incredible !

Like any good Explorer, I had to touch the crystals. They didn't appear to just be a random act of nature.

Suddenly, a great voice echoed out. There before me, was a face that was suspended in mid air.

It spoke to me:

"Bleu Titanium. Welcome to the Fortress of Solitude." the face said to me.

[Holy Crap! I thought, is this Jor-El ?]

As if it read my mind, the face spoke to me again:

"Yes, Bleu, I am JOR-EL. You have discovered this Fortress of Solitude I have constructed for my son Kal-El."

I was amazed. I stumbled upon Superman's hide-a-way. But then I thought about what I knew about the fortress, and the defenses this place had to keep out intruders, accidental and otherwise. Suddenly I was afraid.

Again, as if reading my mind, Jor-El spoke again.

"You do not belong here Bleu. Yet I sensed that you are pure of heart, only searching for knowledge and adventure. So I allowed you to enter this chamber." "Within these walls, are the secrets of the universe. All the knowledge learned by the people of Krypton. Being of pure heart, I shall impart to you one piece of knowledge, Bleu."

[again I thought, Holy Crap! But before I could ask a question, Jor-El spoke]

"Knowledge of one's self is the most powerful thing you can imagine. Always look inside yourself for the answers that you seek. When you know yourself knowing others becomes second nature." With those words, Jor-El disappeared into the nothingness. Leaving me standing alone in the stillness of the cavern.

My thoughts raced. But my mind came to rest upon Jor-El's words. In a sudden leap of understanding I thought....

"Holy Hannah!! They're Scientologists!

Whew! What a Dream! Alright, No more eating pastrami and mustard sandwiches before bed !!

SkyDiving

Falling through the air at what seems like 100's of miles per hour doesn't sound like a lot of fun, until you realize that this has been a life long dream of mine!
SKYDIVING !
There is something about the rush of air through your hair and against your skin that takes your breath away! A total adrenaline rush

You do have to maintain control of yourself both mentally and physically. You must have the right form too, or you will go plummeting out of control until you reach the ground.

** We don't want to think about that !!

The ground comes up really fast on you. It really is a birds eye view on the world.

Quickly, specks become buildings and cars. What appears to be ants become people.

Then with the pull of the rip cord, your chute opens and you are pulled back upwards for a while.

Then gently gliding down. Seeing the world from Thousands of feet up, you really get an appreciation of just HOW BIG our world can be.

We really are nothing more than specks on this world. Amazing how we specks can sometimes really mess up this world.

SkyDiving has been a life long dream of mine. I am no longer able to have the opportunity to do this, but to experience it in SL has brought me a little closer to that unattainable dream !!

Hello

Hello my friends !

No, I haven't been lost. I haven't been out exploring. I haven't been doing much of anything as of late.

The RL has taken a lot of my time as of late so I just haven't had the chance to be around much. But now, things are getting back to normal and I look forward to returning to SL more often and having some cool adventures !!

Come back soon to see what I have been up to !

Dancin'

You guessed it, I've been out dancing ! I think I have told you before, but I fhave come to love Sherie's Gaslight. Its a great place, and great people too!

Of course, two of my favorite performers were there last night...

SKYLORD CARNELL

...and CAMLACH GANS.

I always have a good time there. If you haven't checked Sherie's Gaslight out, I urge you to! Classic songs, humor and just plain ol' good times.

I love meeting new people, making new friends, so say hello when you see me! Maybe you can join me there for a dance or two !!!
