Happy Halloween

I had said I was going to dress up for Halloween this year and of course, I didn't. I had thought about being a little girl with a tude (going as myself just in child form. HA! ) . Anyway when I got to work my friend Victor was dressed in a school girl uniform lol. He look soooo cute, we laughed and make fun of it almost all day. He was portraying "Kelly' the character from the online video "Shoes." (go to my my space www.myspace.com/reinasam and see it if your interested) Anywho a few people came in dressed up for the day. My boss, friend, mentor, play mom Jerrie took the cake. She was dressed like a witch. Her makeup was really on point, she had this huge booty and she didn't look like herself. I will try to show you some photos of she and Victor if I can get them here. In any event the day went well, no trick or treaters came,by ok OK OOOOKAY! I lied they did come and knocked on our door. But me and Dennis (Dennis is my husband for those of you who are new to the Sam show) stayed in the room and ignore the living shit out of them. Hell we paid for that candy we ate it. I promise to tell you more tomorrow, maybe even the pictures of Vic and Jerrie.

A promise Kept?

Alright I promised I would start keeping up with my blog and I do plan too. I just haven't been feeling really "blog like" lately but Ii will do what can. Let's try to catch up ... Those of you who know a little about me know I am an online person who enjoys playing on line games, downloading music, keeping blogs, updating my space, and all kinds of stuff like that there. I had briefly talked about some of the games I played and ended with me playing There.com. My last game before the one I play now is called "Second Life". http://www.secondlife.com/ (description: Playing with other real life gamers in real life situations and I can not stress enough REAL LIFE SITUATIONS). Second life name fits it to a tee. In this game you can own houses, business, get married, get pregnant, buy cars, buy clothes, go to the mall, shop, buy hair, nails, makeup, shoes, fly airplanes, etc etc etc. Anything you can do in real life you can mimic in second life. They even have several call girl providers http://www.sl-escorts.com/ (yes they make websites for this crap), and yes it gets THAT SERIOUS. I mean think on it for a moment. If you have lonely men who call 900/976 numbers to get some kind of fulfillment and enjoyment. Virtual sex can and is a safe way for men to have fun. Same difference with my job you have men who order $200.00 or more in porn films and swear they don't know how that happen. Same difference it's about money and Second Life is no difference. Virtual fulfilment for real life cash. Many people make real life money in this game. There is an article of a woman who became a real life million selling virtual land that does not exist. I myself won't lie, I enjoy the game but it was more because of the real life money I was making with my clothing business. Dennis had a custom home business. We had a club, the first one in fact in the game that was hip hop along with the first radio station. We also had a maternity clinic (yes you heard right and we were making major real life money). We also had several other business that gave us real life cash flow. Facts are other companies are in SL =Second Life and these are well known companies. Here are a few articles of interest http://secondlife.com/news/. I can go on and on but it really would make more sense to just experience it for yourself.

The game we now play on a daily is http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/ aka WOW (description: Playing toons to fight on quests with other real life players leveling them to become stronger and more powerful). Here lately I have been on my computer and playing the sims2 http://www.thesims2.com/ (description: toons you control in real life situations aka Playing GOD!!). One of my coworkers/friends Dena (Howdy Dena .. waves) gave me a few of the expansion packs that I don't have . I had made plans to make a little movie using the sims2. HA!! that hasn't happen yet. I have been so busy with making characters that I have not had the time to finish a script let alone get my movie set together. Matter of fact, I have made a commitment to make the people on my team and put them in houses in my game. Funny thing is I think they all think I am insane lol. They are half way correct (hehehehehahaha), I do have a bit of issue. Nothing a can of coke, a bag of chips and some Zanax won't cure. I will try to do better I promise ..... I swear. I will tell you a little more about WOW in the days to come. Right now I need a break.

A blog day

I am actually on my blog on a day off YAY!!. I had said I would do ALL I could to keep up with my blog on my very limited virtual life and very limitless real life. Usually as a rule on my off days I am wrapped up playing some game or listening to music. But I did have a few people all 2 of them telling me they wanted to hear more about my little online life. When last we chatted I was telling you about "Ahlisa" and her little virtual home. Trust me that virtual life did not come easy, in tso you had to work for the funds you received. You weren't handed any virtual funds you have to skill up and work at it. You either get a business, or doing things like boards, pizza or what ever else would make you money. I briefly had a little store that only sold clothing, flowers, art and gifts. I even had a delivery service for flowers and gifts for birthdays to please forgive me. My friend Artmichelle and I even had a successful garden where people would come and talk, play checkers, or read. I also allowed people to purchase a stone in which they wrote poetry or messages to those they loved. I played TSO for 2 years until I found another game in which to waste my time. http://www.there.com/ When I first started playing "There" you were not allowed to just join the game . You had to apply for it and then be sent an email to let you know if you were accepted. The reason is because they were in beta and didn't allow too many people in. It even asked intimate details of your computer, what windows you use, how much ram you have, how much memory you have (hmmm sounds like I heard that before), yes imitated details to see if you qualified and if you were accepted to run There software. I ran mine once and was denied, then ran Dennis laptop and was accepted. Once I was accepted I attempted to run the game on my computer with no success. I finally found a loop hole and started playing hehehe. You don't know at first but the reason they have you tell them all this crap is because of people who are true online players will run out and buy whatever video card, ram, etc that needs to be used to play the game. I (thank god) am not one of those people. Besides I could not afford to upgrade my computer for a damn game. There.com was a lot different from TSO. Characters had more interactions but they were more like cartoons. I mean YES they all are cartoons but There reminded you of one. TSO look more like real people in some ways. What I liked about There is the fact I could change clothes, hair, makeup, wear jewelry, ride cars, boats, scooters, it had more to offer my virtual life. The one thing I did not like about the game was the property situation. In TSO I had my own home that was easy to obtain and build. In There it was a whole other story, beside it was not easy to obtain and keep a business. There was about money and them making it not you, maybe because it was real and they wanted a part of your virtual dollars. I was not having that so Ii never had success in the game of there.com, I just wasted my money and my time. such joy.

Introduction

OK, I am at lunch right now with 15 more minutes to kill and I am trying to figure out what to say to introduce myself to those who don't know me. I have been blogging for years but always start one and stop when I get bored. This time I promise myself I will "try" to comment to writing in my blog. Yeah Right! My blog is usually about my virtual life which I have some what backed off. In order to get you up to current events I need to tell you a little about the past. I have been playing online games for years now... YEARS!!. Many of my co workers and friends think I am crazy and I must have nothing to do with my life. They are all right. Naw not really, there is a reason for my madness. Let me give you a brief back ground about how I got started with my Virtual Life. I first got introduced to the Internet by a coworker name Patricia. I use to have to stay at work for a few hours after my shift. My then husband and I worked the same job but different shifts. I worked the earlier shift giving me 3 hours to wait on him in our call centered. I was telling Patricia one night how bored it was getting just watching TV while I waited. She suggest I go on the Internet and look at sites to pass the time. She knew I had this great love for collecting Barbie dolls and showed me the Barbie site http://www.barbie.com/ that was 9 years ago, the rest is history. There begin my online life and my soon to be virtual world. I started learning about chat rooms from another friend of mine and begin to chat to several people from around the states. I even chatted with my now husband who at the time was living in NY and me here in California. (another story I will one day tell you about) I started to learn how to download music, upload photos, work on my own website, and just over all be nosey. I made a yahoo account, then a hot mail account and then an AOL account known to those in the Internet world as "Irresistible Baby" I had a bit of a fan club with my over all winning persona. ROFL!! My first computer was purchase for me by a friend name Michael. I had a major back injury and had to be off work for six months. I could not sit, stand, or lay for long lenghts of time. I had meet Michael in an AOL chat room and he became a very close friend of mine. One day UPS came to my door with several packages addressed to me, enclosed was my first Dell computer. Michael had gotten in for me to keep in touch (wonder how he is doing). I downloaded music, kept in contact with my chat friends and just enjoyed my talking to the outside world. Being unable to really go anywhere make me more involved in my online line. . My game life begin when my ex husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday (which is 02/27 by the way, write that down WRITE IT DOWN NOW!!). Being a smart ass at the time, a commercial came on TV about a game called the ttp://www.thesims.com/ . I said get me that, not thinking his ass would get it, he never did shit I told him to do before. But guess what he gave me wrapped in a brown paper bag, the game the sims. I played it for all of 20 minutes and got bored. My son Jeff then played it and came into the room and guided me to how to play. After an hour of learning I was HOOKED!! I played GOD to my sims who obeyed my every command. They slept when I said sleep, ate when i said eat, worked when I said work, played when I said play. THEY WERE MY SLAVES!! I made homes for them, they had families, they were at my command. They were for my amusement. Ii remember being on the computer one night for several hours trying to made my sim work enough to have her get some extras for her home. My ex husband politely told me I should "marry the game" since I was on it all the time. I am sure that was the reason for our divorce. HAHAHA!! I even had a love affair on line with my now husband. As I said before he lived in NY and me here in Cali we communicated via emails, chats, etc. Until he finally came here from NY and took me away from it all (another story maybe later to be share. I did enjoy the sims getting every expansion pack they offered getting hyped up each time they would bring a new one out. Like a little kid I was be at Target buying the new game and downloading it. I would go to the sims website to see what was new. A year after playing the sims the website introduced they would be soon launching a game called the http://www.thesimsonline.com/ where you and other sim fans could play TOGETHER!! OMG BECKY!! I was thrilled, excited, happy happy joy joy. I send an email to them giving them my serial number of my game and much to my surprise they told me I could join the online beta. After talking to my husband for several days about the pros and cons of maybe giving up my sims and playing online I decided not to join the beta testing. I regretted it several months later when i decided to finally play the online game. My online life begin with a sim name "Ahlisa" why I picked the name I will NEVER know. Ahlisa had her own virtual home, with a garden, a outside pool table and small mini golf course (or at least I called it that) She even had a swimming pool and a small guest house in the back with a full kitchen. She was like a virtual Barbie (btw they have virtual barbie on line now too http://www.barbiegirl.com/ for little ones that is). I would skill her up daily and she made major virtual cash in which I spend to expand my home and get things for it. Those days are long grow in tso, you go now it is a virtual graveyard. Dennis aka Sinned played it briefly almost a year and a half ago. We had a pet store and some other little business but we made our money from going to other skill houses. ahhhh memories
