“I had to count to ten and take a breathYou think that you don’t haveBeauty in abundance but you doThat’s the truth”Ed Sheeran – Camera September is one of those months that can’t seem to make up its mind. Summer isn’t really gone yet, fall isn’t really here, and depending on what time you walk…
Thirty years of Skillet. Eight concerts. A storm at Summerfest, changing lineups, signed memories, Comatose, Monster, and a band that somehow kept becoming part of my own history. Now Scream and After The Storm bring the story right back to where it started: still changing, still fighting, and nowhere near finished.
Well, that didn’t take long. A couple of days ago I was writing my first official post for The Arcade, sending Mackenzie back to school, and wondering what I was going to find when I started digging through everything else waiting for me from the September round. Apparently the answer was a bedroom, a bunch of plants, some mushrooms, and an excuse for the two of us to have a pillow fight. I’d say we’re off to a fantastic start.
Some events in Second Life have been around long enough that they really don’t need an introduction, and The Arcade is definitely one of them. Even if you’ve never stood there clicking away and telling yourself one more pull before doing six more, chances are you know exactly what The Arcade is. For a lot of us who have been around Second Life for any length of time, gachas became their own little culture inside the larger one.
Project Icon: The story behind why I built the blog I couldn’t find. I really thought I was going to make a few changes, which is probably the funniest possible way to start this, considering what you’re looking at now.
Every year when August 24th comes around, I find myself back here in one way or another. If you have been around this blog for any length of time, you already know what Kobe Bryant means to me and how much of my love for the Lakers can be traced directly back to watching him play.
I have a tendency to landmark things in Second Life with every intention of going back to them, and absolutely no guarantee that I actually will. Cassidy June’s art could have very easily ended up as one of those things.
There is something kind of wild about realizing this is the fourth birthday of Mackenzie’s that I have gotten to celebrate with her. I actually had to sit with that number for a second because it doesn’t feel like it should already be four, even as I have enough pictures, posts, and memories sitting around this blog to prove that it absolutely is.
Welcome to For The Record, my newest and deepest post style. On these we deep dive the music behind the posts. Today’s post is a literal monster of a post but I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
