ive been busy in real life but i finally have time to relax tonight after a long day of gardening. my next door neighbor just returned from California with his wife. They brought over a huge basket of freshly picked nectarines, peaches and tomatoes for us. Last time, he brought me a huge bag of cod and sea bass that he caught just off the beach in front of our house. i live in the nicest neighborhood.
The reason im telling this story is because i just spent like 4 hours making 2 batches of Bolognese Sauce to freeze using up all those tomatoes he brought me. and this is after several hours outside watering landscape and pulling up weeds. So, basically, im exhausted. But its an accomplished kind of exhaustion. and its certainly more productive then sitting infront of my computer. i just enjoy rl so much more then anything online. i log into sl and there are people who have been sitting infront of their comps, logged in for 48 hours, without any sleep. For me, its the complete opposite. Second Life really should have been named Superficial Life. Its full of shallow sleazy low brow drivel. But, my real life is where im living the dream.
Dont get me wrong. i love my friends online and in sl. and truth be told, there is always something going on that is a diversion, not much more though. it makes it very difficult to invest energy, focus or attention into anything online. But, i keep logging in anyway, like the masochist i am, on the off chance something magical might happen.
