Magazine VOL.15

It’s raining outside it’s a dark and gloomy day From the time everything’s not blurry it still feels dark and grey Something ain’t right something is wrong A funny feeling is what I got some bad news coming on Then I find out today someone that I loved got their wings and went away My mouth was wide open but I had nothing to say My heart stopped for a second yes it skipped a beat And then I got the tingling feeling coming from my feet

I couldn’t believe this.... It couldn’t be true But in my heart and mind I already just knew I know god has a plan sometime it’s not fair But when it touches you then you really just don’t care But his plan doesn’t stop midway his will always will be done But why would you take the person that was my son before my son

That’s a strange thing to say but I'm telling you the truth These are no jokes skits or spoofs 30 Years ago back when he was a boy Running around playing and begging for new toys I met Twan for the very first time I thought he was funny He might have done some dumb things but the boy was no dummy If I remember that day we ate junk food and played with toys Over time me and Twan became boys

When he got he ear pierced his mother said no Me and him were into it just to piss her off you know we had to go If I went hanging you know he did to I was batman he was robin there was nothing I could do There’s no more laughing no more games there’s no more having fun The lord took away the one that was my son before my son

Well really I knew my son first by like 8 months His mother him me and my son we had a little brady bunch I go to work she is with the boys she come back home then it’s my turn It was a lot of stuff I didn’t know then but best believe I learned I remember one day I woke up and looked down the stairs His little 6 year old self was trying to change a diaper all I could do was stare Ok the time we was hanging all day he told me he was too tired to walk So I put him on my back walked the 2 miles while we talked

I got tons of stories about me and Twan back in the day About me and him hanging and the funny stuff he will say All that young age I tried to teach him things that he should know I couldn’t have my big fella growing up a hoe I will see him again that will never be undone God does what he has to do but why the one who was my son before my son Dp..............................Out.

SHUCKIN’ AND JIVIN’ “Only women who can’t cook Keep canned vegetables in their kitchen” Author Unknown

Preparation of a home cooked meal takes time and effort; shucking corn, picking and washing greens, cutting up, and washing cabbage, marinating and seasoning meats, etc.

Canned vegetables are a convenience, just like going to the corner store to get toilet paper is easier than going to the grocery store; simply because it’s closer.

One can also call canned vegetables a short cut; you can

SPORT "I am the face of Rotterdam" Jeroen, The Pride Of Rotterdam DCWF Professional Wrestler & Champion

DCWF The DCWF, Digital Championship Wrestling Federation, grew from being a simple box, with basic textures, as an arena to the first and longest running professional wrestling federation in Second Life established in 2008.

It celebrated its 10th years anniversary last month in the biggest event in SL wrestling history, The WrestleFest X Championship.

Its life began as Second Life Championship Wrestling (SLCW) and overtime utilized a revolutionary HUD-based wrestling system called the ACPWS which was refined over the years to become what is now known as the NexGen system.

like many other wrestling communities in SL, to being fan based thus welcoming outsiders. Number Rossini's (title) made his point clear; there is no meaning in "doing magic shows for magicians".

The federation is made of fans first, its dedication lies in offering the disabled an opportunity to live their dreams in SL, in offering the sport The DCWF made the conscious enthusiasts an additional spark to their virtual world, and to the decision to shift from being inquisitive ones something to an introverted community, baffle their minds.

Dear Mr. Opinion, my best friend falsely accused me of being with her man after she logged in to find us both in their home when in reality I was only there to recover a few prims that I had left there the day before. As I encountered her boyfriend there I just politely said hi to him. I have tried to reason her in vain but she just won't hear it...I need help saving our friendship.

Signed: Innocent Burglar Dear Innocent Burglar, It sounds like your friend is insecure and from the sound of it, you may have to back off and let her go. The truth will eventually be exposed. You've already explained your situation and if she doesn't believe you there's really not much you can do about that. Preoccupy your time with more constructive things rather than stressing yourself out over someone who obviously has trust issues.

Dear Mr. Opinion, is giving your trust to anyone in SL considered a leap of faith?

Signed: Dreamer Dear Dreamer, I have to say, you can leap all you want, but when it comes to people within 22

this second life platform, I wouldn't call it a leap of faith, its more of a fool leaping off the Empire State Building.

Why would anyone get so rapped up trusting people they know nothing about? Women and some men are too ready to jump and give their all to snakes. Pay attention to whom you are so carelessly being open to. A lot of these snakes in SL want to use, abuse and take advantage of the innocent and the weak. It's best to keep your guard up until you've been around a person long enough and are familiar with their real life; because if they're not sharing with you, you best believe they're not someone who you should be so trusting and open to. They could be hiding something shady, could be liars and predators. You just never know. Don't be stupid, be smart and very observant instead.

Well, well, well, Clearly Not The Asshole looks to me that you will just have to spit it out and say what's on your mind because there is no other way!

Dear Mr. Opinion, What is the secret to seducing and keeping a woman on her toes?

Signed: Pixel Casanova

Dear Bad Blood, What you need to do is tell your friend your dilemma and let him know that you are not interested in interfering with his relationship with your ex, but that you wish not to be around her and would like her to be completely out of your life. Simple as that.

Dear Mr. Opinion, How can I SUCCESSFULLY Dear Pixel Casanova, If you are ask my boss out?? If I mess a true man, then you just need it up things might get super to take care of her, love her like awkward! you mean it and be there for Signed: Pixel Ne-yo her. It always works. Treat her like a Queen and she will be Dear Pixel Ne-yo, Maybe it everything you ever hoped for. is not a good idea for you to cross that line... Simple as that.

Dear Mr. Opinion, You have a big sea of women I just found out that my new you can go after, leave that one friend is dating my ex. My alone because you could make friend had no idea that the trouble for your own life and woman he is seeing is actually livelihood. It's not worth it. my ex. I couldn’t care less Do you have questions for about that woman at this point Mr. Opinion? Feel free to and it would suck to spoil a submit them to Flavah promising friendship over @ marysan2 Resident Dear Mr. Opinion, her. It is only a matter of time I love myself too much to deal before I run into him and my with other people’s RL drama ex together, which, I am not and I am not logging on SL to looking forward to because I be their therapist. How do I tell want that woman completely them that without sounding like OUT-OF MY SL. Is giving up an asshole? on this friendship the only way Signed: Clearly Not The out of this?
