I never wanted to have a blog, not really. I'm a rabid reader of blogs in anyway related to Second Life TM, and to post to one of them I had to create my own, so here I am. Oh, and please note I put the TM after the name Second Life TM so I won't get arrested :P And now you know how I came up with the name for my blog, heh. Signing off for now... I have 621 blog entries to read, ha ha. Ta for now, El
