Why, Hello There!
Welcome to my little corner of VR. Feel free to stop, spend a moment to listen to music, read some poetry, debate ideas with me, read part of my book, or play a game. You're in a safe place free of judgement, where friendship and respect dwell. Pull up a chair by the fire.... Would you like a cup of hot chocolate?

I have a wide variety in here.

YU - Heroic Courage
I've overcome much - but not by my own strength, for no man is an island. I have a source of strength which never fails me, even though I have many times tried on my own and failed miserably. I am still learning how all of this works; and though I am still just a small seedling it seems I am planted here to help.
If there is such a thing as a "happy-punk vampire" that is me. I love singing, writing (poetry and prose), building things, skiffy (AKA: Sci-Fi), drum circles, researching religions and spirituality, swordfighting, drawing, hiking and midnight mountain climbing. (Darn those pesky rescue copters.... "We're ok, really! We're just crazy people hiking at midnight, is that so wrong?!?")
I was a computer programmer contractor, but I finally landed a permanent job at a really great company. For the first time in my life, I've managed to work a whole year straight without a single sick day! (Which explains why I'm not on here very often.) My priorites are work right now...
When I'm not at work, I can be found sleeping, writing, studying religion, working on my fixxer upper house, spending time in nature, reading about new spiritual ideas and philosphies, working on my book, or moonlighting in a karaoke bar.
For more singing, poetry, and even some pseudo-philosophy, feel free to troll to the website.
I'd love to chat about philosophy, opinions, energies, metaphysics, cultures, languages, mythos, etc... I am very interested in learning new things. So if you want to start a conversation on any of those topics feel free to introduce yourself and let me know what you want to talk about.
Favorite books, movies, TV shows, heroes, etc. can be found in the ingredients for a pookahchu section.

There and Back Again.
Why the homeless - remain homeless.
Imagine that you are restarting your life from nothing. That you were able to find a new job, but everything you own has just been destroyed in a fire. Image you have only you - and your loved ones. No pets, no clothes, no food, no shelter, no hot water, no electricity. Perhaps someone, out of kindness, gave you a tent, six shirts, three pairs of pants, five sets of underwear, a way to make hot water - and that is all. Imagine you are "there."
Imagine that while you are trapped in this meager lifestyle, you must constantly endure the pressure of needing to maintain the facade that you are just like everyone else. Maintain the facade that you own a TV, and that you saw last night’s network shows, that you shop where they shop, that you buy what they buy, that you have decent, comfortable clothes that fit, that you have money in your pocket… that you, are just like everyone else.
Imagine that you must maintain this facade sixty hours a week, six days a week. The facade that you live in the same old “yuppie, comfort-zone” world as your peers. Never let it slip, never let it be discovered that although you work a nine to five “Regular Joe” job, you are nothing more than a “homeless bum” in disguise.
It is so difficult to keep up the facade that must be maintained for one to be allowed “back again.” The façade that must be maintained to enable someone to climb back up the corporate ladder.
This, my friends, is the very essence of "there and back again." This is why once people fall down, they stay down.
This is one of the reasons that we still have so many homeless in America.

Creatures of Night - Rebekah Faith
Come out and play....
When the night comes
all despising, creatures rising
underneath the earth below
They call to you, they see through you
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go
Creatures of night, brought to life
One day this year, of endless fear
Creatures of night, brought to life
Oh can't you hear? The end is near!
Screams are silenced,
brutal violence overtakes the human race
as they catch you, and defeat you
Terror writhes (terrorize) your pretty face
Creatures of night brought to life
One day this year of endless fear
Creatures of night, brought to life
Oh can't you hear? The end is near!
Come out and play....
Creatures of night brought to life
One day this year of endless fear
Creatures of night, brought to life
Oh can't you hear? The end is near!

I'd like to take a moment to dedicate my thoughts to my friends, those who I see in my friends list nearly every single damn day....
All of you are people I can rely on to be there. Rain, snow, sleet or hail, you are there. In my soul, and in my essence, you have inspired the following idea:
"In order to be successful in something, you must work towards it every day. Not just every day for two weeks, but every day for six months, a year, two years. These are the people who make their dreams come true."
I thank all of you for just being there. Being stable. Being predictible, being pillars of strength for me; by just being there, by just being you you; the person that you are.
Now, how about a little bit 'o fun?
Three games for the price of one!
And finally, a couple of family photos....
That's all for now.
Hope you enjoyed your stay!
