2021

Happy 2021 I am really hoping for good year. I know at least I will give it my all.

We celebrated at home with the furbabies 
They weren't partial to the celebration.

The one resolution I do have is write on this blog more.

Paul wants to move.

  Paul is wanting to move. I am not so sure. It's not that I don't want a new place. I very much do. I would love to move to a better place. I am just not sure right now is a good time.  I am so nervous about everything going on in the world that I am afraid to move and then not be able to afford our new place. Our current place is this strange area where you feel like you are on the edge of city and county. On one side is a busy parkway, behind that is county and country,. On the other side is several shopping centers, gas stations, and restaurants. Behind us is a neighborhood and park. But you don't really notice it. Then there was the recent manhunt that happened in our neighborhood. A man at a nearby hotel, shot someone and then ran through our apartment complex to get away. That was nerve racking, to say the least. Our landlord doesn't seem interested in taking care of the properties either. He mows, and everything, but no picks things up and you get the impression...

Missing my Joie de vivre

  I have lost my Joie de vivre. I don't seem to feel anything for most part. I don't feel happy, sad, or even angry. I just feel blank. I feel like I am just walking in this world, not really connecting to it anymore. I love my friends and family of course. I just feel like I can't give them what they deserve. I feel out of sorts.  I think this started sometime this year. When covid hit, I started paying attention to the news. I started to realize things are like I had thought they were. In many ways my beliefs changed. It was a jolt to the system. I now have a completely different outlook about the world, and it has taken some getting use to.  Now I have had a few enjoyments. I recently saw Cruella, and loved it. (not for kids, though) Also making the picture above, I enjoyed.  Now that opens another kettle of fish. I use to be addicted to second life. At one time it was an escape. I was lonely and I hated my life. So it was very easy to dive head first in it. I am ...

A VR addict's view on Meta

-

The announcement of Facebook becoming meta has piqued my interest. I have since read and watched everything I can on it. This research got me a bit intrigued. I am now nervous, annoyed, and slightly excited.  I have been active in virtual worlds since 2008. I was even pretty addicted to them at one time. I feel this experience gives me a different perspective than most. Metaverse isn't new! This is annoying me. The metaverse and virtual worlds aren't new. I joined Second life in 2008. There is of course VRchat, Fortnite, as well as, many others. The way he presented meta came off like he was introducing something new. Most of what he talked about is already here in some form or another. The things that aren't are a ways off. Even by his admission.  Virtual reality can be extremely intense.   In VR you can be anything, do anything, and have anything you want. It is a place where anything is possible, and the only thing real is your emotions. This world can be very overwhel...
