Ironing the blog clothes…
First of all sorry for the mess. The past week access to my blog was “broken” and still is someway… Changed the hosting, switched from a self-hosted WordPress blog to one inside WordPress.com but using my own domain.
Since there are some restrictions in WordPress.com about what you can “attach” some of the slideshows, widgets or links may be missing, i’m working to replace them, or at least link them someway.
Thanks for your patience while i try to iron and reset the blog and for keep reading, commenting, sharing…
Raul Crimson for the TwoThreeSixFive project
Trace Osterham is hosting a really interesting blogging project related with Second Life, is called TwoThreeSixFive.
As the project is described in the blog itself:
Two Three Six Five is a glimpse into the lives of 365 different Second Life™residents around the world throughout the course of a year, and a literary model of the way their virtual and physical selves interact.
TwoThreeSixFive is inspired in the3six5, similar project but RL related. I was really interested in the project and i so wanted to be part of it, sent an email to Trace and… finally i was Mr. April 8th! 
You can read my post following this link, anyway here i paste it too:
A sound in the background makes me open my eyes… it was my cat saying: “Hey U, hooman slave, feed me nao”. I want to stay in bed for some minutes more, enjoying that sweet feeling of holidays. I look at the clock, it’s 09:10AM. I sit on my bed, trying to fix the world around me for a moment, I turn on the radio… some Jazz music playing. Phone rings, is my partner saying Good Morning, he has to work today.
I follow my cat and add some food and some fresh water to his bowls. He doesn’t even say “Thank You”, just submerge his head in the bowl, I imagine for a moment he is trying to catch an apple floating in a water barrel, that image in my head makes me chuckle. After having a coffee and a couple of cupcakes I turn on the computer. Some things to do, tomorrow I’m traveling with my partner to visit some friends and I need to get the boarding passes, just to get good sits. I say hello to friends in Plurk and log into Second Life.
It’s night in my sim when I log in, lights in my house are on (they work automatically). Some IMs coming, some group notices, someone special for me saying “Good morning”… I answer slowly, as when I wake up from bed I need to sit for a moment and try to fix the world around me. Where is that texture I uploaded? Oh, there it is! I play with the new “Shared Media” tool for a project I have in mind, doing some tests. I enjoy mornings in Second Life, all is quiet, calm… since is night in the US is easier to visit place that are normally crowded. The holiday feeling invades my Second Life too and all I want is to sit and enjoy a nice sunset.
Is time to log off for a while, things to do in my other life too. When I log off I wonder for a moment what my avatar does when I’m offline, what he explores… And I wonder if he wonders the same about me.

In Second Life he mainly experiments with creative possibilities (photography, blogging, some machinima, building, etc.) and owns a sim that finally became some like a “hippie commune” with some friends. Anyway some say his main occupation is “to look good”.
I recommend you to visit the blog and read the posts, they are interesting, fascinating… another way to see our fellow residents.
Only sometimes…
Only sometimes one feels he has nothing to say, or just doesn’t want to say nothing. Only sometimes one feels he has nothing to share, or just doesn’t want to share nothing…
In the last months I was not blogging much for some different reasons. Maybe the first lines in this post are some of this reasons, is not I was bored, maybe only a bit. Only sometimes one needs to sit and try to focus where one is going, or where one wants to go. For a time i was feeling lost someway, wondering why I am in here and if those reasons were still there… And sure they’re still there, but some have changed a bit, life is evolution so they are exactly not the same.
Possibly all this may sound confusing, but some of you will understand me for sure, is difficult to explain some feelings or thoughts. Don’t get me wrong, is not I’m depressed or something, is just when what’s around you changes you need to adapt yourself. At the same time some changes in my “other” life needed some adaptation from me too, after all these “two lifes” are not separated, are only two sides of the same, at least for me.
My main reason to start a blog more than one year ago was to express myself, to show what i like or what i’m interested in, all within Second Life. That’s why i’m writing this, as part of this need to express myself, and someway is, at the same time, an apology for the one who use to read this blog. I will keep blogging, speaking about what I like or dislike, showing clothes, places, whatever… and I’ll do it with more energy and new reasons.
Thanks to all the ones who read this, thanks for giving me all that energy… Only sometimes one says thanks… even he should do it more often…
Report… how life is going
Life is always different, even it seems the same. In this post just want to share my last projects and what i have in mind, even want to express what’s in my mind, even that’s a hard thing to do.
As some of you may know i’m collaborating with Role Magazine now, writing about SLart (quite a big topic to talk about), you can take a look at my last article in this post at their blog
Also i’m working with my friend Ganymedes Costagravas in a store, a place to sale some of our creations. Still a lot to work together there, but that’s the pleasure, working with friends in some things. As soon as we have more information we will post about it.
Blogs with friends, building projects… for a long time i was kinda… how to say it?… not so motivated in SL. Now it seems this is about to change, we will see what happens.
SLblogger Appreciation post #1: Winter Jefferson as seen by Raul Crimson
For a long time i wanted to pay tribute to the bloggers i really like, i know some time ago an SLBloggers Appreciation Week was organized… but well, i was not on time (as usually 
) so i decided to make it by my own. There are some bloggers i specially like, sometimes for their style writing, or the topics they write about, or how they are personally. This series of posts starting with this one will have always photos of my avatar edited as i see them, the Raul Crimson version of them. Some say imitation is the biggest form of adulation, well, i don’t pretend to imitate them, is more to show how i see them, and well, i don’t pretend to adulate them, only to express my gratitude for the great moments of read they are giving me.
Winter Jefferson doesn’t use to wear wings, i know, is just a personal touch. From his blog Winter shares his opinions about fashion, his projects and his thoughts. Covering specially male fashion from his own angle, as he says he is “The only sardonic Australian Vampire knight fashionisto on the grid. So far.” 
Is not only his really good work as blogger, for his blog and for the Rezzable one, is also his Plurk profile and how he is personally. Is somebody really respectful, sweet, always trying to help and with a good word for anybody. And, sincerely, when there’s so much drama and “bitching” around is always a pleasure to read anything from him.
This is my way to say thanks to him, for all those moments of enjoyment, for all the kind words and for all the help, crazy fun moments and conversations.
By the way, a friend mentioned this picture here it seems he is just too excited touching his chest, i presume i can’t stop being myself even i’m trying to imitate someone.
