2nd life

I played 2nd life last week for the first time and its not for me. Its like a bad video game. I think its for people who cant enjoy their real life. Im willing to bet there is more than a few stalkers online. I dont enjoy updating my character account because the point is to show yourself off to other fake people showing theirselves off. Its so much like a video game, but without any objective. After i complete a character profile, where I am supossed to wander? Wheres all the excitement? Without feeling, experience is only imaginary. I admit I hate computers, im horrible with them. Point click point click. This "game" or 2nd life is only an application of what I hate doing. I think the hardships of life cannot be bypassed using a smart box to do your dirty work. This games true potential is obviously an opportunity for social outcasts to derive pleasure from virtual life. I think it sucks. People should try to expose themselves to real life instead of hiding behind the safe box. If you cant see or hear someones action/reaction you have just absorbed your own wrong interpretation. This is a horrible way to get to know a stranger. But to be critical constructively, I suppose you could get into the game as a casual approach to meeting new people. Just be aware the preciseness of the information coming out the virtual land is about as accurate and about as secure as picking lottery numbers.

In reading our blogs, I find it funny how nearly all of us have chosen to focus ourselves on the "worthless bag" who might "waste away" their life to 2nd life.

I'm particularly intrigued by how we all seemed to miss the legitimacy some folks have invested in 2nd life, in effect, enhancing their "real lives"
