The Corn Field is opened… and other Halloween stories
Oct 28th
So here i am, Dr. Frank-N-Furter (my Halloween costume for this year 
), exploring the dangerous sim… the darkest prison in Second Life, opened to the public for the first time… THE CORN FIELD *tchan tchan tchaaaaaaaaaan (thriller music here)*.
This Halloween Linden Lab decided to open to the public, for the first time, The Corn Field. And… what’s The Corn Field? Well, according to the SLwiki is:
The Corn Field is a region of mythological status where once naughty avatars were sent to think about what they had done. “The corn field” is a vast star-lit field of corn and was cut off from communication with the rest of the world (a reference to the classic Twilight Zone episode, “It’s a Good Life”).
It is located at the North-West tip of Orientation Island 1 and closed to the public. Perhaps one day the prison will be open for viewing?
So… ZOMG!!! It was the prison of Second Life!!! I should confess i always wanted to visit it… some like a “forbidden place”, and finally i’m there!!! 
Anyway, once the Halloween ends they should keep it opened and close in there all the copybotters in SL… so they will have nothing to copy.. but corn Oh, if you want to visit, here you are a SLurl.
The other place in the grid dedicated to Halloween specially this time is… The Channel Island Asylum!!!
This building, integrated in Bay City, is opened to public always. Is, under my point of view, one of the best works of the LDPW (Linden Department of Public Works). An abandoned asylum in an island, full of weird sounds and some surprises… but this time is even worse, totally ready for Halloween. This is the SLurl.
Happy Halloween!!!!!

It’s my 3rd Rezday!
Oct 26th
Today, Oct 26th, it’s my 3rd Rezday!!! So, when i logged in Second Life this morning and i saw there were none of my friends online (becuase they are working or sleeping) i decided to have a rezday cake only for me! This is the moment when i’m just about to jump over it and eat it all. But no worries! I’ll make another one for my friends!
Three years in here… wow!… Actually that seems a lot! But well, there were really good years, where i learned a lot about myself, about others, and where i learned… in general. 
Is good to have the wonderful friends i have in Second Life and to have the oportunity to share all this with them, the creativity, the experiences and everything (including the LOLs, of course). This is the best rezday gift!
Only sometimes…
Sep 6th
Only sometimes one feels he has nothing to say, or just doesn’t want to say nothing. Only sometimes one feels he has nothing to share, or just doesn’t want to share nothing…
In the last months I was not blogging much for some different reasons. Maybe the first lines in this post are some of this reasons, is not I was bored, maybe only a bit. Only sometimes one needs to sit and try to focus where one is going, or where one wants to go. For a time i was feeling lost someway, wondering why I am in here and if those reasons were still there… And sure they’re still there, but some have changed a bit, life is evolution so they are exactly not the same.
Possibly all this may sound confusing, but some of you will understand me for sure, is difficult to explain some feelings or thoughts. Don’t get me wrong, is not I’m depressed or something, is just when what’s around you changes you need to adapt yourself. At the same time some changes in my “other” life needed some adaptation from me too, after all these “two lifes” are not separated, are only two sides of the same, at least for me.
My main reason to start a blog more than one year ago was to express myself, to show what i like or what i’m interested in, all within Second Life. That’s why i’m writing this, as part of this need to express myself, and someway is, at the same time, an apology for the one who use to read this blog. I will keep blogging, speaking about what I like or dislike, showing clothes, places, whatever… and I’ll do it with more energy and new reasons.
Thanks to all the ones who read this, thanks for giving me all that energy… Only sometimes one says thanks… even he should do it more often…
Report… how life is going
Jun 21st
Life is always different, even it seems the same. In this post just want to share my last projects and what i have in mind, even want to express what’s in my mind, even that’s a hard thing to do.
As some of you may know i’m collaborating with Role Magazine now, writing about SLart (quite a big topic to talk about), you can take a look at my last article in this post at their blog
Also i’m working with my friend Ganymedes Costagravas in a store, a place to sale some of our creations. Still a lot to work together there, but that’s the pleasure, working with friends in some things. As soon as we have more information we will post about it.
Blogs with friends, building projects… for a long time i was kinda… how to say it?… not so motivated in SL. Now it seems this is about to change, we will see what happens.
Sweet Second Home
May 27th
For some time i was thinking in taking some photographs of my home in Second Life, but you know, didn’t found the time. But some days ago i though: “Why to take only some pics when i can do a simple machinima? People will see the same and will be fun to make it.”.
So here it is. After i bought a new computer some months ago is easier for me to make machinimas with decent frame rates, in the old computer that was impossible. For the image capturing i used iShowU and for the edition, iMovie 09.
Hope you like it and, sincerly, it feels good to show my small peaceful space.
Rememberance
Apr 26th
Yesterday morning i visited the Linden Memorial Park (SLurl), one of the newest works of the LDPW (Linden Department of Public Works). It is a good place to think about people is not here anymore.
After more than two years in Second Life one meets a lot of people, people that come and go, people who only shares with you a second… or much more, friends, lovers, problems and smiles. So i was thinking there about it, about all the people that came to my life and had to go, thinking about those moments, those great moments.
The love i have for my friends doesn’t make me forget all that ones, sometimes they had to go for good reasons, sometimes not so good ones, but they left in my heart a piece of themselves. From here i’d like to say “Thanks” for this pieces.
