Is my hair ok?

EA Games, Dragon Age. I made a joke about this stupid “game”. I spent 20 mins getting my face right. BEFORE I started the game. The mage was quick. Ynys as you see here is nice, she is a noble woman and a Rogue. Her Dog Shiva obeys her and only her, goes everywhere, fights like a demon, she can pick any lock. You will see tho, Aelfryd,[ÆLFÞRYÐ = Anglo-Saxon name composed of the Old English elements ælf "elf" and þryð "strength," hence "elfin strength."] …my Elfin lady warrior. She is my star. Spent an hour and a half getting her right. She’s not so pretty, not a looker like but not homely either. She’s a bit skinny, red hair. A bit Irish….. She has character. We spent the first two hours getting ready for her wedding. She has a bit of an attitude see. Humans treat Elves like scum. She was nearly raped by the local lord. She kicks ass but the humans were too strong. She doesn’t like humans very much. She was rescued by Alistair and he took her off for training. While getting ready to become a Grey Warden she was wandering around checking things out, a bit lost, with her crap clothes and little dagger. She chatted to lots of people. After about 20 minutes she was at the forest gate. The guard turned her away, said it was too dangerous for a little elf, especially a female. She turned to leave when a human messenger arrived and he spoke to the Guard:

He said to the Guard ” I have to deliver Sir Green’s Iron Broad Sword. Do you know where his tent is?”
Aelfryd could interrupt, she had four choices:

• 1. No, I am new here. Can you help me?
• 2. Who is Sir Green? Please tell me about him
• 3. I don’t know anything about that
• 4. I know Sir Green, I am just going to his tent now, perhaps I can take it for you?

Aelfryd didn’t hesitate for a moment. What would you do?

Forever Young

I like to be inspired. Humanity is so wonderful. The title of this song is Forever Young. Kurt Vonnegut wrote a story called Breakfast of Champions. He loves America but he laughs at it’s Arrogance. The book expresses RVR because, he, the author, goes into the book and meets the characters. [Virtiual Reality's original medium was the book] He is God. The hero Kilgore Trout doesn’t believe him so with a few strokes of his pen The Author wisks the hero around the world. The hero gasps and falls to his knees. The Author says “Do you want something?” The Hero says “Make me young” The last page is a hand drawn picture of Kurt Vonnegut, a single tear rolls down his cheek. I think we have a Universal Truth here. Humanity’s deep rooted desire to leave a legacy, to have a raison d’etre. So much of the universe we inhabit appears chaotic. I tie it in with “The Day The Earth Stood Still” where Human Beings are to be wiped off the Earth because their Arrogance is destroying it. But they are saved because they are special. I am reminded of the Aliens in “Artificial Intelligence” [AI] The Aliens tell the robot child that Human Beings are Unique in the universe. They also say Nothing Ever Dies. Your Engram remains as part of the web of the universe for all time. But the aliens become The Blue Fairy to grant the robotic child, an avatar, Humanity’s greatest accomplishment and to give Humanity’s Greatest Gift: Unconditional Love. But warn him that once brought back the engram of his mother will disappear from the space-time continuum. The Love is that of A Mother for her Child, Like that of The Creator For His Creation. The Sacrifice Is Ultimate. Jesus did it. And At The End of Days , We Sleep

Wow. I think I can die now. I just peaked. Fancy a pint?

A Break For The Weekend [especially To Counter The Barbie Bots]

Here They Are

And All Good Things Come In Threes

Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
‘Cause this is just a game

[Chorus:]
It’s a beautiful lie
It’s the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me

It’s time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don’t ask too much, just say
‘Cause this is just a game

[Chorus]

(Oh Oh
The end of the world)

Everyone’s looking at me
I’m running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation’s building higher
I’ve got to remember this is just a game

(So beautiful, beautiful
It’s a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful
It’s a beautiful lie
So beautiful, beautiful…)

[Chorus]

Ha ha ha ha A talking egg!!! That is so funny and and and The Chicken right? Was smoking a cigarette! OMG who thinks up these things?

This post was brought to you by Philip Morris (USA)

“Come to where the flavor is…come to MARLBORO COUNTRY”

Flat Fact : The brand is named after Great Marlborough Street, the location of its original London Factory. Richmond, Virginia is now the location of the largest Marlboro cigarette manufacturing plant.

Philip Morris, a London-based cigarette manufacturer, created a New York subsidiary in 1902 to sell several of its cigarette brands, including Marlboro. By 1924 they were advertising Marlboro as a woman’s cigarette based on the slogan “Mild As May”.

The brand was sold in this capacity until World War II when the brand faltered and was temporarily removed from the market. At the end of the war, three brands emerged that would establish firm holds on the cigarette market: Camel, Lucky Strike, and Chesterfield. These brands were supplied to US soldiers during the war, creating an instant market upon their return.

During the 1950s Reader’s Digest magazine published a series of articles that linked smoking with lung cancer. Philip Morris, and the other cigarette companies took notice and each began to market filtered cigarettes. The new Marlboro with a filtered end was launched in 1955. In the early 1960s Philip Morris invented “Marlboro Country” and distilled their manly imagery into the rugged cowboys known as the “Marlboro Men”. The famous slogan used on radio and television during the mid-’60s was, “Come to where the flavor is…come to MARLBORO COUNTRY”, backed by Elmer Bernstein’s theme from The Magnificent Seven.

A 2001-2002 study by the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that, of all the student smokers, 41.8% of middle school and 52% of high school students usually smoked Marlboro[1].

Is Virtual Reality real?

(polls)

I have spoken about people making a dichotomy of real and virtual. I have made my position clear. I have “told it like it is”. I have invented rvr. Everything is linked now. You post to twitter it ends up on DIGG and Facebook. You favourite a youtube video it ends up on bebo. You post to facebook and yahoo picks it up. Blogs? OMG if i blog anything and click on share it goes to the following :

Twitter, My Space, DiGG, Facebook, Yahoo, Google, stumbleupon, buzzup, de.lio.us, all my 10 other blogs, all my 30 widgets, Blue Mars, ….if there is a god (s)he gets a copy

and no doubt someone somewhere is transmitting this out into space where it will travel on into eternity…. Do you see? Everything is linked now. You cannot distinguish between what is real and what is virtual. The human in me says it is all real. The buddhist says it is all virtual. Whatever the perspecive, it is all one.
I leave you with the tweet I made 8 hours before the world press took it up ” No No Go Go http://OnlyDragons eat Antonomc hamsters ” . See if you can understand the 52 characters (I always thought that 142 characters was way too many.)

I left this Comment with the Washigton Post

I twittered “No No Go Go http://OnlyDragons.com eat Antonomic Hamsters” because BBC Radio 2 said Go Go Hamsters are in trouble because of levels of Antonomy . Dragons Tongues have to be Flame retardant one of the uses of antinomy Go Go Hamsters are Hot for Christmas. Where is the news? I cannot find a link to bit.ly it. this is not a paradox thats Antimony.

I have posted this a few times to my blogs. I think it is important. I added it to DIGG and facebook more than once. Is This SPAM? I don’t know! Perhaps this video will help you decide. Thanks for your time. P.S. I hope the Japanese appreciate the Ikebana (生け花) flower arranging tips from gaijins.
