Productive Monday

Whoa, what a busy day. It’s already 11:30 PM here in South Africa and I didn’t want to go to bed without telling you guys what I’ve been up to today. But I’m really tired so this is going to be a really short post.

I’ve made some great progress today in taking my blogging career to the next level and I literally spent all afternoon (after taking a short post-lunch nap) doing Search Engine Optimization, expanding my reach and networking with fellow industry professionals online.

After an early light dinner I had a quick voice training session in preparation for recording vocals for some new songs that I’ve written. I hope to have the vocals and melodies down before the end of November so that I can start working with my producer to create awesome music, do a final recording, and master a new Single or EP before the end of the year for an early January 2013 release.

I’ve also had a quick 30 minute cycling session during which I’ve managed to cover 9.3 miles (15km). Then it was time for a nice, long, relaxing bath, some camera-whoring. And now, here I am writing this and about to get ready for bed.

Overall it was a really awesome and productive day and now I’m in serious need of sleep.

Monday – October 18, 2010

I really didn’t get much sleep this weekend. Due to my being determined to finish rebuilding my store and completing at least one full outfit for my new Second Life clothing line (Coming soon – Watch this space). I have been awake for, well… Almost the entire weekend with very little sleep, if any at all.

I managed to pull myself away from the computer for a while to get a couple of hours sleep, and even though I ended up sleeping well into Monday, those few hours simply weren’t enough, but I had to get up to take care of a few responsibilities. As usual I got up, had some coffee, logged into Second Life, read my emails and group notices. I skipped my daily workout routine because I’m simply too exhausted to even lift myself out of my chair today, so doing a full body workout is simply not going to happen today. Instead of working out I went straight to bath. My bath was so relaxing and put my right back in the super sleepy mode, I just wanted to get right back into bed and continue sleeping but I couldn’t.

When I got out of the bath I noticed that I haven’t viewed all the group notices that I had missed while I was logged out of Second Life and decided to quickly skim through them to see if I have missed anything important. As it turns out, one of the new Second Life magazines is looking to hire some more writers. I instantly jumped at the opportunity because, as you know, I love writing and I love Second Life. This is the perfect opportunity to combine both passions. After a quick IM interview and completing an application I got accepted into the Magazine and I am now officially a writer for ‘Radar,’ with my first article due in the next issue of the virtual magazine. I am really excited about this opportunity because I will now be able to share my work, thoughts, opinions and reviews with thousands of other Second Life residents. And who knows, perhaps I can even convince some of you guys to finally join me in Second Life once you see the awesomeness that awaits you. I’ll be sure to post a link to the online publication for each Magazine which contains one of my articles so Watch this space!

Now let’s take a look at what the stars are saying:

Cancer – Daily Horoscope

You may feel as though the most important people in your life don’t really get how hard you’ve worked to achieve a certain special moment. Something you’ve wanted and worked for over a very long time has come to fruition, or is in the process of doing so. Yet those closest to you may not fully realize just how big a moment this is in your life. You’ve been much, much closer to this dream, and you probably have a much broader understanding of just how complicated it is. Give your loved ones the benefit of the doubt. As things start to unfold, they’ll begin to “get it.”

I strongly believe that this is directly related to my Second Life plans, adventures, and recent achievements. My family has never really understood the wonderful virtual world of Second Life and have always seen it as many of you do; nothing but a online MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). But let me tell you, it’s no game my dear friends, if you think it’s a game them I am sorry but you are seriously misjudging what you are dealing with here.

The sun is rising in South Africa and I am still exhausted from my lack of sleep over the weekend. I’m going to get some much needed rest in order to resume my average 9-5 (PDT/PST) routine as from tomorrow. Have a good night/day. icon smile Monday   October 18, 2010

Monday – October 11, 2010

According to Sunday’s horoscope, today will be a day of great fortune. I’m here, waiting. Nothing noteworthy has happened yet other than the fact that I have reached my 5000th tweet today. I got up, had a cup of coffee, ate some breakfast, went to the shop to get some chocolates and coke and here I am blogging about it. Sometimes I honestly think that these horoscope readings are complete bullshit but some of them do hold some truth. Let’s look at today’s horoscope reading.

Cancer Daily Horoscope:
Drum roll, please… Your heart is about to be satisfied, Moonchild. Someone you know, or perhaps someone new, will make your knees weak and set your heart to fluttering. These are the kinds of feelings you may have figured were never going to find you. Enjoy the moment, but don’t jump into anything new too quickly. It isn’t that there won’t be great potential here, but you will strengthen any bonds by keeping your distance just a little bit. You might call it playing hard to get, but courtship is a more appropriate word.

First of all, I’m happily involved and have been with the same guy for the past 5 years, he does set my heart aflutter and make me weak in the knees on a daily basis. This horoscope reading is completely irrelevant to my situation. Thank you starts for NOTHING. I’m still waiting on my fortune please? Thank you.

Moving on to more serious matters. I won’t have much time for Second Life today since I’ll be busy updating client websites and working on some college assignments. I do plan on releasing some more graphic shirts very soon so watch this space for more info on that. You guys can also expect to see more descriptive and content-heavy blog articles because I have finally found an application that assist me in clearing my head and focussing on the words that are streaming from deep within me. More detail about this application is coming up shortly in a separate article. I will insert a link to it here once it has been posted so please also keep and eye out for that.

In all honestly, my Monday has actually just begun so I can’t share too much about it right now. Maybe I should do my daily updates at the end of each day instead of at the start? What do you think?
