Less work in Second Life®
When it comes to SL™, I spend a lot of time working. Working involves uploading textures, creating new things, troubleshooting new things, shopping for business aides, updating vendors, taking snapshots for products, and helping customers... to name a few. I genuinely do not do much else on The Grid.
Occasionally, like last night, I'll pop over at an event or go tree shopping for my new Rosewood property. This is rare, however, in comparison to how much time I spend "working". It wasn't like this when I was younger to SL™.
Sure, I explored... I went to events... I met people(<3 Artillo)... I went shopping... I played games... but I dunno, I never felt enraptured until I created content. Maybe it's the artist in me; if I'm not creating, am I wasting time/life? I don't know. That's kind of cut and dry for my tastes.
For a while now, I've felt an old itch creeping up on me. It happens every time I listen to music or hear one of my favorite songs playing in an unexpected place. For a bit over 3 years, I was an internet DJ with an amazing, established group of Data Jockeys. I didn't necessarily stop DJing because I wanted to - it was the right decision at the time. I don't ever regret making it. Lately though, I miss it... a lot. It was a ton of fun for me to share my massive love for music with people every week. And especially people who also appreciated music as much as I do. I really loved interacting with listeners over just about anything!
Some have suggested I go back to DJing, but in SL™. Maybe I should, I'm not sure.. it would certainly be one of my top 3 favorite things to do, that I could do on The Grid. I wouldn't know where to start! I'm a personality, and while I know plenty about the technical side, I'm unsure that it would be useful to be a fly by night DJ with no real affiliation. Then, there's the whole legality thing too. The RIAA may suck - but they can shut someone down fast and in an ugly way.
Feh, I'm getting ahead of myself, I think!
Tomorrow - Dark Elf, for sure.
(god there I go working again!)
