A truly cluster of one. Systems down, can’t access anything and me here dreaming of laptops flying through the air in sheer frustration.
I’m glad the day is over with because for the only time you will ever hear me say it, I felt bored.
It’s difficult when you have no access to email or folders to find things to do other than wish the phone would ring. You literally have your hands tied and at the same time because it’s work, you can’t exactly leave your seat and find something else to do.
I took to drawing squares and circles on paper and stick men. Then it was hangman and then I thought to myself this could need a shrink kind of doodling.
I then discovered 3D paint on the laptop and painted a 3D woman. That’s it really.
So here’s hoping tomorrow is a better day because I really hate feeling like I’m just sitting waiting for the phone to ring. Give me work pressure any day!!!
This is my pretend look of the train home and out to a meal for the evening.
I have always so many visions in my head about dance videos and how I wish them to appear. Usually traditionally I’ve always attached a story to them but these days the music track is the story by its sound and feeling.
These dances from Kayla Brenda are just really amazing.
Some of the movements are seriously out of this world. (No pun intended.) If I were in reality to try them I’m sure I’d probably break a hip or two and maybe spend months recovering in the bone unit because I flipped the wrong way!!
Every single time Jonny from Paragon introduces me to the next dancers I get excited and feel truly blessed to be part of all this. Bit like SL history in the making.
Kayla’s dances are certainly cutting edge and as I watch her real life videos I see myself replicating her virtually. We certainly have another world!
A groundbreaking dance animation that is unique on the grid since its release…
Performance captured by Kayla Brenda, based on her YouTube Heels & Floorwork choreography that has 3.25 million views as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx77SvakpgA
Heels dance style is a bold new trendy dance that combines the attitude and energy of hip-hop, jazz technique, and the sensuality and glamor of burlesque. Dancers always perform and practice dancing in high heels. In dance, floorwork refers to movements performed on the floor. In a social media world saturated by this trendy dance, Kayla stands out bringing a “wow” factor to her floorwork with a unique edge to her style — feats of acrobatics.
Originally danced to “Skin” by Rihanna. Tempo = 127.0 BPM
I decided Orange is the new black for Halloween. I should refer to it as amber but orange suits my need to have that label for the blog.
It’s Monday and the start of yet another week of our odd lives we are currently living.
I don’t know about many of you but I’m certainly questioning things a lot more about our daily lives pre Covid and the many things we used to do and considered a must and put up with.
I’ve questioned dress codes to do a job given let’s face it many have sat in their pyjamas for 6 months doing their jobs at previous or even better standards.
The fact that some would feel bullied and accepted that behaviour from people when in actual fact those bullies are no better than the rest of us. They have no right to impact anyone based on their ego.
So does how you dress matter? Not really. It’s just as a society we set ourselves all these rights of passage that we walk and accept as gospel. But I am sure I’m not the only one who is learning that’s a whole load of tosh.
There’s a whole load of tosh that I consider these days and ask myself why do I need to and remind myself how short life actually is. I’m the god of my own destiny and need to realise that. So do you all.
Seize your new Orange and sizzle this Halloween!
Anyhow enough of that.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. So why do people expect change to happen over night?
Explain this to me and I’ll give you £100 for your answer.
Let’s face it, you aren’t going to get that £100. For I would need to have exacted my own change in order to have the spare £100 to give you.
Why? Because nothing worth it’s weight happens in an instant in time. For change to happen, you can wait another lifetime to see it’s results, and then some. That’s just life.
Now just get on with your day and think long and hard, why you read this and what you took away from it.
