Welcome to the Arid Zone - it's been a long, strange trip.

I made a decision to stop playing Second Life. This has come over the last few weeks, a slow but steady prodding by God to get out of some of the things he doesn't care for...to much.  Now I don't think I'd burn in hell for playing Second Life, but there is so much more mind garbage that you see in the game then you would see in everyday life. You think TV is getting bad? Go play SL for a few hours. 

Another reason is that it has been my most extreme time waster...I can sit in that game for hours and really accomplish nothing.  It has been something htat has led to me missing many of the goals I have set for myself...
No I'm not blaming the  game, but it was very easy for me to get lost in it...

However, of late, I haven't been on the game much anyway. . Plus I did feel God prodding me to get it totally off my system. (For the reasons listed above, among others.)  Yet it was still a hard choice for me to make: I've been playing the game for over a year and a half.  That is a long time...

I've uninstalled it and I'm not sure if I will ever go back; maybe after I'm earning a living off my writing I will go back for a lecture.  For right now, however, it is part of my past.

Good bye Second Life, it is time for me to start looking after my first life again.
