Let’s mix it up a little

Let’s mix it up a little

I was actually in my head, releasing this blog last night with the video.

Then I realised I forgot where I stored the photos I had taken!!

Seriously you couldn’t make it up. But I did.

I gave up searching and went to bed instead.

I couldn’t upload the video without the thumbnail nor release the blog. Seriously double doh me!

So hey why stress over it, what’s a day in the grand scheme of reality at the moment?

No matter when I release it doesn’t matter as long as you do get to see these amazing dances from Paragon Dance Animations. Andrea Jazz Funk.

I really couldn’t make up my mind how I wanted to film this.

I could have done the all sassy but sometimes I feel that is maybe too obvious.

There is a story here and I’m not really giving it away but it’s something about my mind and how I see a situation and how she (me feels) in the mind when you let things go.

And nope it’s nothing at all to do with SL.

Week saga

Week saga

Seems Boris wants us all to go back to work. No more working at home he wants to jog the economy back into full steam.

Jolly good. But I frankly don’t care what chuckles says.

I’m chilled, relaxed and have every intention of never listening to any other person again as though they know better.

Because frankly chuckles messed up quite a bit. Though I’m not going to ramble about that. Jonathon Pie always elocute’s his disdain quite superbly. I love a man who says it as it is.

So while your sitting there with nothing to do how about some Pie

Under the light

Under the light

I have forgotten those days of how it feels to dress up and feeling sassy. (In reality not pretend land.)

I mean seriously I cannot remember the last time I dressed up to the max, did the whole makeup and hair routine and sprayed myself with my fave perfume. Stepped out the door for a night on the tiles as the saying goes.

The scene here in this photo reminds me of standing outside after a few drinks, grabbing some fresh air and staring at the guy who came outside with his mates. Wishing he would talk to me as I try to appear chilled and more confident than I really am.

Back in the day huh.

Now roll on a few years later and COVID times, the thought is far from my mind.

The only clubbing experience I will have knowing it’s safe, is a virtual one.

The only guy I’ll stare at will be the hot dude I flicked past on Instagram and decided to stop on his page and look a while.

So yes this photo scene is conjuring thoughts in my head of a time that I don’t think I’ll ever experience again.

I’m wondering what will be the new scenario for the younger generation. Will they get to experience that feeling?

Will they get to have the experience or will it be mandatory masks coordinated with the outfit?

Who knows. It’s early days still, but a question I’m asking.

Rome wasn’t built in a day

Rome wasn’t built in a day

Listen here.

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.

I’m off now to make a tea and take a selfie.

Can you believe it!

Can you believe it!

Well nothing surprises me these days.

But today!

Today is my day off and the sun shines!!!!

I’m now sunburnt after sitting outside earlier today. To be fair, I never noticed the sun feeling that warm as I was covered by clouds. But my red face frankly says it all.

On another note. Who is on Tik Tok? Seriously I’ve suddenly gone made in it. Why on Earth didn’t I really get into it ages ago. Omg I have been laughing so much and become addicted!

So I’ve even started making some. RL, and some pixel ones.

I could be considered daft. But my god it’s cheered me up no end to just be silly and know that I’m not alone in the silly. Seriously if you want to find something to watch that’s frivolous. Watch Tik Tok videos.

On another note this gorgeous dress is at the Designer Showcase now till the 30th. It has a hud, so a great reason to go check it out.

Time to reflect and relax

by Isabelle Cheren2 Comments on Time to reflect and relax
Time to reflect and relax

I have a 4 day weekend which started the moment I logged off my pc yesterday after work at 4pm. Complete relief to shut that down and just find some time to indulge me.

The past few weeks have been a real onslaught and a bit of a struggle trying to work in an environment of constant distraction (other person here) and juggling now 6 people I’m trying to support with my union hat on.

It’s funny how COVID19 has either brought out the great leaders who rise to the occasion. Yet has also highlighted those people who because of distancing feel able to behave less scrupulously in managing situations.

Both in work places or just out in the community.

For example the spate of local thefts. I’m serious. People are home and I guess the idea of burgling homes whilst people are present must be some kind of thrill. My housemates bike was stolen, right under everyone’s noses in a gated private area, where it was chained with all the other bikes. Where all the ground floor neighbours could see. Opportunists or thrill seekers?

But for the next few days I have a don’t give a toss attitude and am going to do my best to disengage from the world of stupid and do my own thing.

I’ll ignore my emails because frankly those people can wait till Tuesday and I’ll eat, watch films, read, walk and do what I love best. Being creative. It’s raining here so I can’t throw in laze in the sun, because I cannot find it.

In the kitchen hiding from Stupid!

by Isabelle Cheren3 Comments on In the kitchen hiding from Stupid!
In the kitchen hiding from Stupid!

Last night I was spending time with my flat mate for her 30th birthday.

She went into her 30th with a pandemic and a divided world. She at the age of 30 is asking me what is the point of living anymore.

I sit here and try and give my positive so much good etc etc etc.

Truth is, where the hell has it gone? Where are the things we are meant to look forward to?

I wrote a post on my rl and sl Facebook walls this morning. I don’t come to my Facebook to see such hatred and bullying . Name shaming etc etc. It’s divisive and is never going to solve the problems. In fact it’s fuel.

There will never be another Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King again. Go back and read and educate yourselves because if you never learnt anything then, you won’t now.

I’m tired. People are tiring me. History doesn’t appear to have educated anybody at all. Not one bit. As I sit here from a mixed race background having lived in apartheid for part of my life. I sit here and frankly feel humans are the dumbest species on this planet.

The dumbest! It seems you can’t change stupid no matter what. Read and learn.

Remember in this life, United we stand, Divided we fall.

But for now I’m going to sit back and enjoy my view and pretend like my avatar, that stupid doesn’t exist.

Earlier I had to relog into Second Life as I had forgot to pay my rent.

I couldn’t be bothered to get back out of bed and put pc on so decided to pick up the laptop and do it.

My god!!! I’d forgotten what it’s like to use a machine that doesn’t have a SSD.

Wading through treacle is the most apt description I can give.

Moral of story? Pay your rent.

The moment I lay my head

It’s Saturday night in the early hours if Sunday morning and I am just about to fall asleep.

I’ve not much to say because frankly I want to close my eyes and fall into a dream. In the meantime I’ll dance myself to sleep.

Goodnight and enjoy the video.
