Mixed (pick 'n' mix) feelings at solstice

Solstice – in Latin “solstitium” = “sol” (sun) + “statum” (stay motionless)
Welsh word for the solstice is “point of roughness”.
Talmud calls it as “Tefukat Tevet”, i.e. the first day of “striping time”.

Longtime I have not anything written, but as onetime I am sitting on the roof in Bohemia, the hard feelings is pouring on me from the last days. It is due to this season shortly after the solstice, or coming of the Christmas. I do not know.

Time goes so fast that one does not suffice to remember all occurrences from our world and also them from the other world. Maybe only several snapshots that show it. It is this roof, party by Nancy and a resurrection of the disappeared Slovakia at the party of its long-time friends.

Let us stay in coming time, same way as our Sun did it.

Let me allow quote Alan Furst about the solstice:

“…day, when supposedly the sun does a break… Pleasant idea… As if the universe stopped for a moment to think about something and to take a day off. One directly feels how time slows.”

Marry Christmas a Happy New Year 2011

Decadence

I was at party in CCaS club, Slovakia, at some party on Sunday. The party was name “Hairstyle Party”. So, I tried to search through my inventory to find some hair other than I usually wear. I remembered that I had ones packed in the inventory. They were from PXD Toxic brand name. So, I flew to a sandbox at Bohemia and they were unpacked in a moment. One needed also some suitable clothes. However, I was some bad combination of hairs and clothes. Further, I wear a tattoo on my upper body and I have also several jewelers. So finally, the leather trousers and the excellent leather shoes were the winners. I looked for also some accessory and by mistake I wore a fan! Later, there was toxic Lemon in the club and he told me that I looked “decadent”. So, I had this creation on me for the whole evening. Next day, it occurred to that I would make some pictures of me. I was done it! Look the pictures below!

Parties

There are no enough parties. Therefore, I looked forward to last April day. It is known as a “day of witches burning” in my country. It is very old feast day, when people get together and kindle bonfires mostly on hills or mountains. The spring coming is celebrated, even if this year winter passes directly into summer. Sometimes it is called as Walpurgis Night or according to Celtic feast as Beltaine, Beltine or Beltane, respectively.

SL Residents also celebrated this night in many places and in many forms. I looked forward to the night also. I wanted to fly to a sabbath of witches and wizards in CCaS club at Slovakia. However, fate struck. Exactly to say, nature used its big power. The place near to railway was struck by lightning and together with other two elements – heavy rain and air – the transportation was completely broken in many directions both from and to Brno city, where I work.

However, I made up for it next day on May 1. The party invitations were coming one at a time. In other words, I was just at four parties! Somewhere I stood long time and elsewhere short time. Simply, I hurried to social ball in concert park at our sim Bohemia. Nice ambiance, music and nice dressed people, this all filled my imagine about nice evening.

And dance whirl, excitement, passion and desire burned around me.

Common and/or uncommon day in SL and RL

It happened several days ago. Concretely on April 9. All began as usual everyday way to my work by train and then by tram. I got off tram near to the botanical garden of my alma mater – Masaryk University in Brno. I looked towards opposite street side and I spotted it. Some sakura blossomed behind fence. Btw., sakura is my love spring tree. It looked as a vision from other world in this morning vapor. It was about quarter to seven. I was full of energy.

As I saw this tree I had remembered movie The Last Samurai, where Algren and Katsumoto discussed in the garden with blossomed sakuras:

Algren: There is Life in every breath...
Katsumoto: That is, Bushido.

Katsumoto: The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.

Later, one my friend called me in SL. He was about nine month away. He restored his former club and invited me to the opening party. Unfortunately, I had to apologize myself due to some things in RL. Fortune showed a smile to me again during my wander at Slovakia sim in CCaS club. I met Tristan Delpiaz. He is also my old friend. It was very nice discussion.

My work passed in good tempo and then I walked to the city center to drink glass of good wine in my favorite wine bar in some old convent. The atrium garden was open and my Rl fiend sat there. So, we told about life and so on in spring sunlights. He was not alone there and later they gone. After that, my other friends came. They are husband and wife Cizek and every Thursday with them is nice days. But I had to leave bar as I said above, some action in RL.

Unfortunately, it was the nastiest experience of this day, so-called house meeting of occupant of our house (Note: There are 24 flats in our house). I had expected a bit, how this meeting would be. But what the neighbors showed there, it surpassed all my visions. There were envy and hate, arrogance, communication inability, compromise inability, slander each other, etc. I left it after about one hour. Maybe I behaved cowardly, but what is too much, it is too much. I escaped in SL world.

After client start, I received several notices. So, I flew to the party, where I was invited in the morning. There was crowded and super music. I tried once or twice sploder, but I almost lost. Party came near to end and a waiter asked me in RL, what game I played. I was in net café. He told me that he had showed me several times, how I was sitting silently and looking at screen of my notebook.

So, he became my first real and no virtual listener, whom I introduce Second Life. During talking, we flew from an island to other one to outline him the SL atmosphere. I spoke about SL general, what one can do here, about SL economy etc. He listened me whole time. Sometime he asked me about something, but he was not downright negative to SL phenomenon. He said that it was surely interesting. But later, we told about other things. I had to go home to sleep. I tell usually with liking in SL: „I go to hug my pillow.”

The next day, sakura was there but other. An aura disappeared.
