Some Things Have No Meaning

Once there was this really cool city where hamsters lived called Hamsterdam. When I first heard of the name in my brain I went to search and found that some one already thought of the name.

Oh well anyway I shall continue my story since if you go through life with the fear of not being original than you just go through life. Anyway these hamsters just ran on the wheel all day. One may come to the idea that running on the wheel is of no value but we humans go to stupid jobs, do stupid activities, and so on which is basically just running on the wheel just like hamsters.

I saw a show on Mark Twain on TV the other night. Everyone thought he was sort of a humorous writer but in the show he was very sad at the end of his life. His daughter and wife had died.

I guess life is up and down. Sometimes I think about the ancient Egyptians pharaohs and how they freaked out when they realized they would die and turn into dust and built giant pyramids. I guess since I had a philosophy that we only know people in slices, I am at a certain slice that is not typical of the complete package. This is just a normal thing we all think of, turning into dust and all that.

Anyway I wanted to put something up since Edie Haskell has a link to my site and he only links to people who stay current :-). Also I wanted to be sure all my friends are doing well. I hope everybody remembers what is really important in the world - Barbies that sing.

Goodbye For Now

Hello Readers, I am sorry but due to real world issues I must say good bye for now. (will still try to check e-mail) Hope the best for everyone - Rammy

I Give Up

I am going to give up my attempt to volunteer at Fantasy Pride, it is too crazy to volunteer for stuff I think. I feel like I am knocked around too much or something. I think maybe I had better not ever volunteer ever again for anything! Maybe I am not very smart or something.

Fantasy Pride 2012 Stay Tuned

Greville Oh asked me to help with Fantasy Pride 2012. I figured since this blog is a good place to post stuff I would put details here along with in world. In case you are an SL merchant and want to support acceptance and tolerance worldwide for all same sex unions worldwide this is a good opportunity.

This is the third year for Fantasy Pride.  Last year there were 1200 visitors. This year the shops will be right at the entrance, so the supporting merchants will get maximum exposure.

Anyway I will talk more on this in coming posts, including details that the great SEO gods in the cosmic Internet can read about your business. If you are a merchant and want to grab a spot before they are all taken you can call me on the SL telephone (A.K.A. IM chat).

Stay tuned...

Laying On A Bed

Sometimes I just start stuff and don't know what it will end up when I am done. I guess this crazy post is one of those "I don't know where I am going" posts. I have been feeling sort of lost the past few days. I think all people sometimes get lost and then they find their direction again. I guess it is like when you go walking in the woods and then eventually find the path.

Anyway once there were two friends who each had different points of view about how to teach children how to dance with hula hoops. They were named Joachim and Boaz. (don't worry dear readers this story is going to fall into a big mess when I get through with it!) Anyway Joachim thought that using a hula hoop should be very co-originated, one should start with the hips to the right and the hoop to the left, and then rotated in a very mechanical yet well thought out system. Thinking things out in good logical systems makes good sense thought Joachim.

Boaz thought the best way to learn to use the hula hoop was to "feel" the centrifugal force and let the "shoop shoop" sound abstractly move the body. I guess both of them had a point.

I never could get hula hoops right. I could only shoop shoop shoop shoop and then the hula hoop would fall to my ankles. But I could roller skate OK. I was never good enough to do tricks or anything but at least I could do well enough to not fall down, at least not too often.

Well I don't get to SL too much, and when I do it is just for a short time. I went to some parties where people danced and stuff. They are fun. But I wanted to take a picture (see above) of me just laying on a bed. I guess life is a balance of just doing lots of cool stuff and laying on a bed. Both have their place.

Thank you for reading.

An Educational Post For The Holidays

I have been sort of lonely since I haven't seen many friends these days, I think they are all busy doing stuff. So I decided to send out a happy holiday greeting to all and hope everyone is feeling good. (I was actually born several years ago during Christmas) Anyway I guess a lot of people don't know all the details about the holiday and since I think it is important to put educational stuff in a blog, here is how Christmas is celebrated around the world.

In Great Britain this guy, whose name was Guy, tried to put a bomb in Parliament on the 26th of December - but the bomb didn't go off. His name was Guy Faults. Well it turned out a big mess, and all the members of Parliament got mad at him and they all got into a big boxing match. The British still to this day celebrate Boxing Day on the 26th.

In the United States Christmas is officially started when they show a TV show called Rudolph the Red Nosed Rain Deer, which is made with these moving puppet things that jerk move around doing stuff in the snow. This show has Burl Ives inside of a snowman. He was a guy who sang folk songs and a lot of people thought people who sang folk songs were communists.  In those days some people were freaked out about communists. These people have now been replaced by people who are freaked out about UFOs.

Anyway Burl Ives used to live with the actor Harry Morgan, who sadly passed away last week. I liked Harry Morgan and was sad to hear this, but he was blessed with a long life. I liked his character on MASH but I didn't like his character on Dragnet so much since I though it made the police look like goody two-shoes.   I am not sure the term "goody two-shoes" will translate into any thing sensible if you are translating this blog post into Japanese.

Any way getting back to Rudolph and how this fits into everything. In the US when people get together for a holiday party, the parties always end up in a big fight every year. Some of the people think the title should be "Rudolph the Red Nose Rain Deer" and another group think it should be "Rudolph the Red Nosed Rain Deer" (past tense nosed). Often these fights are similar to the British tradition of Boxing Day.

Perhaps the best celebration traditions of Christmas come from Germany. The Germans were the ones who invented the Christmas tree. Beaucoup Weihnachtsplätzchens are enjoyed by all the kids. I think people who don't usually like Christmas should take a trip to Germany anyway since all the little toys are so cute and so clever.

In South and Central America Papa Noel will come and leave a present under your pillow. Papa Noel is usually dressed in a red guayaberra shirt which is more sensible attire for that part of the world. I don't know too many more details on this part of the world, other than llamas are decorated with red hats with a white puff. The llamas eventually pull the hats off and eat them since llamas don't understand the holiday season.

Well I hope I was able to waste some of your time and shed some light on how the Christmas holiday is celebrated in different parts of the world.  Please feel free to offer any other traditions that I may have missed. I hope for much happiness for all.

We Humans Are All Pianos

I was thinking the other day that I was feeling like a piano. Not that I wanted to play a piano but that I was a piano. And that I guess we are all just pianos, with our keys ready to be played by any one who happens to be walking along and says "I see a piano to play." Some people know how to play our keys real well but others are just key bangers that are annoying.

You may note with the picture that I am wearing horns. There is nothing wrong with choosing to wear horns, but this really has nothing to do with this blog post.

But getting back to pianos, one thing that I have noticed is that a lot of people keep their lids closed. This is good in that no one will play your keys but it also means that no one who really knows how to play well will be able to play on you. So there you sit in the piano store with no opportunity to be played, but never risking a bad player playing some really hack rendition of a piece of music.

I guess when we watch TV or the read the news or go to our stupid jobs at work or what ever, we have our keys exposed to the world and must deal with a bunch of nit-wits who will try to play our keys. In fact even when you go to the store or even just try to walk somewhere there are people who think it is OK to just try to play your keys with out any real respect of the beautiful music that you can make as a human being.

I wonder why human beings invented crazy stuff, like why did humans invent music? I mean it is really weird that it is based on all that math and notes and timing and all. I guess that a lot of years ago a bunch of humans were sitting around and one of them invented music and the other humans said "hey that bunch of sounds is really cool and I think this invention should follow human civilization around all over the world" and the human who invented music said "hey, thanks a lot."

My friend Franz gave me a music box that has a picture of his family when you open it. When they were taking this picture they had just loaded up a lot of logs in the fire place and it became so hot that they had to take a lot of their clothes off. I though I would put it in my house but I realized I it was not rotation friendly - but I fixed it and here it is in this picture.

I hope everybody is having a good end of year holiday and that if you live south of the equator that you are having a great summer. Thank you for reading.
