It also rains in Utopia

Simply brutal…

The burning desire to live and roam free

It shines in the dark
And it grows within me

You’re holding my hand but you don’t understand
So where I am going, you won’t be in the end

I’m dreaming in colors
Of getting the chance
Dreaming of china, the perfect romance

The search of the door to, open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
Help us, we’re drowning
So close up inside
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?

I’m searching for answers, not given for free
You’re hurting inside, is there life within me?

You’re holding my hand but you don’t understand
taking the road all alone in the end*
I’m dreaming in colors, no boundaries are there

I’m dreaming the dream, and I’ll sing to share
In search of the door, to open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
Help us, we’re drowning
So close up inside
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain, down on utopia?
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are
Why does it rain?

How many thousand islands and stores are there in Second Life?

"Mr. Hivaoa Outlander", the guy who looks after my credit card

Today, while going through my weekend shopping spree, I realized there was a particular store I couldn’t access. In more than four years as a resident, this was the first time I was prevented from shopping in-world, so I sent a note to the store owner and asked her to inform me who was the owner of the sim… for I immediately suspected what might have happened.

I was right. The store owner was kind enough to immediately reply to me – she was a real sweet and doesn’t need to be identified, since neither she nor her store are to blame for this situation, of course.

So the recent update of the never ending Hivaoa Holdings soap opera on good character: they apparently have banned me from all their rented sims. Which ultimately are a property of ACS Dreamland (who, by the way, was polite enough to regret the incident that I reported recently). I’m happy that someone cares about my credit card status – on the other hand, it is a pity that I am no longer able to shop at the stores located on those sims, nor take pictures of their products which I freely advertise through my flickr stream.

But oh well, there’s so many thousand islands and stores in Second Life for me to enjoy, spend all my sweated earned lindens, take pictures, make pictures that make me laugh… right ? 🙂
