My last good morning for a while. Also, 2nd life? (I say, “No thanks.”)

Good morning.

There. That’s it. As of tomorrow I’ll be waking up in the evening and covering a midshift at work. Soon I’ll be playing WoW at odd hours of the night with my friends Law and Cookie.

I also found this article about Second Life. I’ve noticed this “game” has been getting alot of press coverage, and I couldn’t help but think that someone, somewhere, somehow is manipulating the press into covering this game. I personally see no appeal to it, and can’t imagine why people would want to log on… there’s nothing to do! You fly around a laggy world, chat with people… I guess it would be nice if it were like a place to *meet* folks, but so many people (myself included) are paranoid of internet stalkers and other scumbags that use the anonymity of the internet to further their own evil ends that I would find it hard to actually meet someone from the internet in real life. I’ve done it once, and it was just okay… I’d rather not do it again if I could help it.

Anyway, about the article, I was reading it with the usual grain of salt I tend to read Second Life articles, but when I got to the end, what I read echoed a sentiment I voiced a few months ago in one of my posts:

“…. For the time being, I would rather buy my first ‘real’ house.

I have enough things to do in this life, that the thought of a second life gives me a headache.”

Go figure. Other people actually see it the way I do. At least I’m not alone in this notion.
