Drama Mama

Recently, I thought it would be kind of fun to request that the GBUOSLblog do a write up on a couple of costumes that came out at about the same time. In a way, yeah, I was stirring an already boiling pot.

Personally, I shop at both places and like different things about both the creators items. Just wanted to see where KIR!!! would take it... I love a good satire. And with Halloween on the way, I know we're going to see duplicates and triplicates of stuff in SL. We see all the time with all the products we come across in both lives. So that wasn't the issue. I was interested in how KIR!!! would do a comparison type blog of like items.

So it seems there are a lot of insecure people stomping around in Second Life and they're the first to cry, "You're starting Drama!!" Hmmm, ever think about how your reaction to what another person says could actually be the start of the drama?

I'm constantly amazed at the current mindset of most people living in the more priveleged* parts of the world. So many think they are entitled to special treatment of some kind or another. And taking responsibility for THEIR part in an event? OMG no way! It's ALL someone elses fault...they MADE me do it.

I've made mistakes here on this blog and on other blogs too...hell I'm made mistakes in Second Life too...and ya know what??? I've made a shit load of mistakes in my First Life!!!! Holy Crap!!!!!!

Difference is, I fess up, I try to make it better...and I try not to make the same mistake. (not perfect tho, I can make the same mistake a few times before I actually "get it").

That said, I'll admit I am sick and tired of all the entitlement and lack of self-responsibility I encounter in life in general...especially on the many SL blogs of late. All the anonymous posters crack me up. Grow some courage to stand up for what you believe in and say what you have on your mind. Yep, people will crucify, people will agree with, you'll have to apologize sometimes too! It takes courage to face that.

I'm here, being me...saying what I think, sometimes I'm actually wrong!!! Imagine that!

What about YOU? Who are you being today and how much courage do you have to stand up for what you believe?

*priveleged = your basic needs are met - food, shelter, clean water and air, socialization.
