Second Life Gone WILD!!
I have heard of a lot of crazy people who play SL, some leave their real life families for game families. Some say they are a female, or a man and be the opposite of what they say they are. Some send real life cash to an online lover not realizing there are 40 other females doing the same damn thing (true story). But this story I must confess even make my eyebrow raise. I in game playing with the volume low on my tv and over head on CNN about kidnapping, dog, duct tape but it didn't catch my attention until I heard "Second Life" By the time I realized it was over so I went to google and typed in Second Life Kidnapping plot, and by goodness I found the story. As I said, I have heard stories before BUT!! even this story makes me wanna laugh, or delete my avatar. (not really deleted I don't deal with crazy ass folks like this that stalk beyond stalking.

A North Carolina postal worker not ready to end her virtual romance with a Delaware man was arrested in Maryland after breaking into his Claymont apartment in an attempt to kidnap him.Kimberly Jernigan, 33, of Durham, is being held as a fugitive in the Cecil County Detention Center. She faces charges of attempted kidnapping, aggravated menacing and burglary when extradition to Delaware.New Castle County police spokesman Cpl. Trinidad Navarro said officers were called to the 52-year-old victim’s apartment in the Whitney Presidential Towers in Claymont at about 5:28 p.m. Thursday for a report of an attempted kidnapping.When officers arrived, the victim told them that when he got home from work he found an intruder standing in the shadows of his apartment pointing an object at him. The man then saw a laser beam on his torso that was shining from the object the intruder was holding.The man fled his apartment and called police to report that he believed the intruder was his ex-girlfriend, whom he identified as Jernigan, and alleged that she had also tried to kidnap him two weeks ago at his job in Pennsylvania.Officers searched the apartment and found her dog, Gogi, bound with duct tape in the bathtub and a pair of handcuffs and duct tape outside the victim’s bedroom window, where Jernigan had cut a screen to get in, Navarro said.A radio broadcast was issued to surrounding police agencies with a description of Jernigan’s blue 2008 Kia Rio with North Carolina registration.An hour later, Maryland state troopers found the car and the suspect at the Chesapeake House Rest Stop on I-95. She was taken into custody after a brief struggle, Navarro said. At the time of her arrest, troopers recovered a BB gun and Taser in her car. An investigation revealed that the two met online on a Web-based game called “Second Life.” The victim, whose character was a lion, engaged in a virtual relationship with Jernigan, whose character was a virtual woman.After the two met in person a few months ago, the victim broke off the relationship. Jernigan, however, was not ready to end the relationship and tried to kidnap the man at gunpoint two weeks ago at his place of employment in Pennsylvania.On Monday, Jernigan came back to the state and posed as a local postal worker attempting to deliver a package to him. But since the man had recently moved, she didn’t have his address. After four days, she found his address and went to his apartment with her dog Gogi.Not wanted to leave the dog in the car while she laid in wait for the victim, she brought the dog with her, Navarro said.However, the dog started barking, so Jernigan bound his snout with duct tape and locked him in the bathroom. When she split, she left the dog behind. The canine was found in good health and uninjured, Navarro said. He was turned over to the SPCA, which is investigating a possible animal cruelty case.
lol, talk about jungle love this takes the damn cake!!!

"I know how you Feel!"
Ok maybe I am getting lazy, but I had a little time this morning and read this article. REALLY thought some of you would take interest in it. It's funny how you laugh at something when your reading it and think "I know how you feel".
*** ARTICLE THIS MORNING ON AOL WEBSITE ****
"Do you know the Mafia? I'll send them over to India to get you!"That's just one of the threats that Mumbai call-center operator Malvyn Aranjo says he received in the course of a day's work. Fortunately, he says, it was against the American bank's company policy to tell a customer where his call-center team was located.Frustrated venting from American customers against Aranjo's agents include threats of legal action -- "I'll sue you" -- physical violence and, of course, a visit from the Mob.
"It is mind blowing," he says. "But it was a fit of anger and anyone can say anything in a fit of anger. Especially in relation to banking customers. Obviously they have a right to be angry with the bank [over the canceling of a card, for example] but some people do not take it good and lash out at the agent." Aranjo says that customers from America's Southern states sometimes experience difficulties. "Communication, the American or the agent's accent, can be a problem." In this situation, after perhaps three or four misunderstanding, a customer would be referred to a supervisor or manager at the call center, Aranjo says. His most polite customers? "Older ladies."Aranjo, 27, is one of millions of Indian and Asian workers drawn to work in customer service or IT support, often by the lure of easy money or a desire to be part of the global economy – two factors that were extremely hard to come by in India ten years ago, when Aranjo started out. Now, he manages his own hub, and call center work is as much a part of daily Indian life as cricket or the movies.Aranjo, who was born in Kuwait to Indian parents and grew up in India's capital city, has worked at several contact centers that contracted with western clients: One was for a diabetic supplies company answering queries for patients who had changed their insurance provider; another was in sales for UK grocery and retail chain Marks and Spencer. He also serviced customer calls on Vodafone's 3G capabilities alongside his banking clients' queries.After seven to eight years answering calls from international customers and clients, and getting promoted “year after year,” Aranjo took the position he holds now, of operations manager at a Mumbai call center specializing in recruitment. On the side, he runs his own e-business venture – selling goods on eBay among others – alongside a plastics and textile supplies firm.His family's financial position meant he had to work straight after graduating high school after excelling in science. For a time, he tried being a disc-jockey. He says while that was fun, market research is the most fun he can have now, as a successful entrepreneur.He says call-center work was hard at first and that some workers adjusted to the conditions while others found them hard-going. “The pure graveyard shift, like doctors do, is not easy to cope with. The work culture is really different. To cater to an American company, you have to work at the dead of night.“Basically I had a nine-hour shift, sometimes 12-14 hour shift. My job profile was taking care of everything: the IT sector, business, security, telecom and sales.”He says that a fresher, as they're called here, will earn a salary of about $500 a month. He started on a lot less than that, or about $200 monthly, when the industry was in its infancy. “I was young, it was young,” he says. Industry wages have risen steadily in the last 10 years and he says he's doing pretty well as an operations manager.Skills-wise, he says that technical ability is a pre-requisite for employment in Mumbai, alongside good written and verbal communication. “Almost everyone does have a normally operating computers. (Computer skills) are asked for but it is quite simple. At least 99 per cent of the public in Mumbai do have computer experience. Almost everyone has a computer at home.”Coffee, he says, is the indispensable tool of the trade. “The best trick. It keeps you awake and is better than any other type of medication.”Some media reports have suggested other call-center workers often rely on other, not necessarily legal, pharmaceuticals to make it through the shift. “So many crazy things happen,” he says. “One night, we had cops sitting over there (outside the call center) and a bunch of people smoking weed. The cops were OK with it. It's crazy but, really, how can you let that happen?”But Aranjo fared well with only coffee as a backup. “After seven years of working at night and sleeping during the day, sometimes now I find it tough to stay awake during the day!”
A global businessDeepak Shikarpur, the editor of BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) Digest, says “aspirations and a desire to be part of the global economy” are often the main motivating factors for Indian workers to join the BPO sector.
Many he says, like Melvyn, move up the career chain and end up as managers of IT or BPO companies by “sheer hard work”.He adds: ”Young age people are not too much bothered about long term-benefits. Their main worry is getting a dream job and good salary. If the employer is a multinational company with chance of overseas visits then the satisfaction is higher.“Jobs are moving up the value chain. Demand for low level data or voice BPO will be lower. The point is to add skills in (a) domain (like) technology and move up the value chain. Become multilingual and learn Spanish or French. A multilingual global work-cultured professional will always be in demand.”He says that India, which accounts for 28 per cent of global BPO agents in a $300 billion global outsourcing market, is “the darling” of the BPO business and that the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Korea will need many years to catch up. He says call centers and the IT industry as a whole are creating very positive impacts on city economies, as BPO businesses offer easy money to young students and workers, stimulating spending in the area. Ideally, Shikarpur adds with a smile, any BPO agent should spend their hard-earned money on higher education, and not on shopping, discos or nightlife.
Skills required Kashinath A [correct name, just the initial, he says] is a Bangalore recruiter for call centers who's seen his share of the business from the other side.He says call-center workers need to have basic communication skills and good English. Technical software skills are required alongside document processing ability. He also advocated a qualification or certificate recognized by the government of India.Kashinath, 25, said when he started the industry was young and wages were below market standards. Now, with more competition for workers, wages have risen. His primary job was recruiting for a 500-worker call center in Bangalore that contracted with a Fortune 500 company Kashinath was reluctant to name.“It's a challenging task, recruiting the right person for the right job. Not everyone can do it. You need attitude, that means basically taking the initiative, the bottom line, and making a long-term commitment to grow with the company.”Kashinath now has set up his own startup venture, an internationally focused HR recruitment firm called Integritti.com, a “complete, managed HR service.”He says: “I had three years' experience in HR, got some of my friends and senior partners together and we had 60 years experience in HR. We planned to start a new venture (with) a mixture of senior and junior people.“We are a startup company. Once we have established ourselves in the market, definitely we will be looking outside India.”

Reach out and TOUCH someone
I am already dressed and awaiting Jeff to pick me up So I thought ok why not blog something QUICK!! I have a lot to blog about but last night I could not keep my eyes open so I drifted off to sleep after talking to Scarlett. Last night I was going through a bag with papers, bills and coupons and I ran across "the Letters" I wrote my family members. My mouth dropped because I thought I had sent them OUT!! I had one to my brother, one to my cousin Dolores and my cousin Ronnie. I then realize that is why they had not contacted me, because they didn't know I was reaching OUT to them. I must admit, I am not a family person towards my extended family. It's not that I don't love them (ok ok some of them I don't give a SHIT about but the ones I wrote to and their families I do). I have a big family believe it or not, many here in California, in Texas, In the southern states of Mississippi and Alabama and in Florida on a reservation there under the Seminole tribes. My Native American side I don't know much about. I know I have MANY siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles of who all wanted to be a part of my life many years ago. At that time I honestly was too involved in my own life to give a damn and I cut ties. Now I want to get in contact with them and don't really know how. Then again, I may have the means but maybe I am not really trying hard enough. I know, I am a bad person and I should reach out and try to get to know them better. But when I think about doing it, I think .. WHY!! *shrugs* ok my son is here.. gotta go.

The Flat Tire!
"The Flat Tire" que music please......
Our off days went by quickly as a whore leaves her client after his time is up (ooo bad joke??!!!). Anyway, Saturday we saw the guy who sold the car to us and during a few exchanges of hellos and how are yous we mention the "rim key", the "flat tire" and the fact we can't get to work. I have been relying on the kindness of strangers (strangers being Jeff, Donnie, Courtney and Angie (Jeff's girlfriend) for rides back and forth to work. It's been a totally nightmare worrying about how we are going to get back and forth and this is all because of a flat fucking TIRE!
Jeff took the car last week to go to work, and per him the tire just blew on the surface streets of the valley. (why do I still find that explanation BULLSHIT), Anyway, as you all know (ok some of you don't) Jeff car was back in the shop yet again so he was using ours. Now mind you it was only a flat tire but that flat tire has become one of the biggest damn head aches we could possible have to deal with. The rims on the car seriously are worth more then the car itself, and being that the case the previous owner put locks on the rims. LOCKS ON THE RIMS!!! this I did not know until Jeff had the flat and now its a pain in the ass to try to get the lock so we can, change the tire (takes a deep breath). Now as I was saying the previous owner of the car said he would go to his friends and get his lock that fits on the rims and come back and unlock the rims so that we could FINALLY get the tire changed. So I put my mind at rest with the assurance that this would take place. (oh did I happen to tell you that the guy did give us the key when we purchase the vehicle but Donnie "lost", or shall we say "misplaced" the key. So Sunday we enjoyed our off days with no worries because we would have the tire repaired probably that Monday. Monday came and we waited, patiently I may add, for the guy to come with the key to unlock the rims, we waited, and we waited and we WAITED!!! Until all hope was gone and I honestly started getting stressed yet again. My boys have not yet said anything negative about taking me to work. They both have been great, BUT!!! it still isn't fair to them (more Donnie then Jeff because he seems the only one with a working vehicle at this time). This also came on the heels of the fact that Jeff's Range Rover (rolls eyes) was repaired on Saturday. I picked it up, and to me the damn thing still seem like something was WRONG!! I called Jeff at 7:37 to see how he was because I hadn't heard from him earlier that day and he informs me that his "We told you not to buy the damn Range Rover in the first place Jay but you didn't listen did you" vehicle was doing the same thing that he has had it in the shop for TWICE!! and he was walking home.
So with all that being said, it's Tuesday morning, I am dressed and waiting to leave here at 7:30. Donnie has came by the house and dropped off his car and keys for me to go to work. I have called Jeff twice trying to see if he has a way to work. He has yet to call me back, so I am assuming his girlfriend is going to take him and leave it at that. This flat tire has become another stressful situation that I don't need. Something so damn simply has become a pain in my natural ass. So today's task ladies and gentlemen will be me calling around rim shops seeing if I can get someone to tell me what I need to do. Life is truly unpredictable but it is also these unpredictable situation that makes for never a dull moment.
oh by the way, I will let you on my thoughts of a few things on the Olympic and a documentary I saw about Jesus Camp.

YES I FOUND THE WORDS TO " WE ARE THE WORLD" YOU CAN THANK ME LATER!!
We Are The World", U.S.A. for Africa
There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth - you know love is all we need
( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Well, send'em you your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
( REPEAT CHORUS )
When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, let's realize
That one change can only come
When we stand together as one

There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Steve Perry)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Daryl Hall)
When you're down and out there seems no hope at all (Michael Jackson)
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall (Huey Lewis)
Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come (Cyndi Lauper)
When we (Kim Carnes)
stand together as one (Kim Carnes/Cyndi Lauper/Huey Lewis)
(REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE )
(additional ad-lib vox by Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, James Ingram)
There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth - you know love is all we need
( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Well, send'em you your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand
( REPEAT CHORUS )
When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, let's realize
That one change can only come
When we stand together as one
( REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE )

We are the WORLD
Today, Vic and I were in rare form, we were singing the "We are the World" song. Come on you all remember We are the World, don't you? Sure you do damn it!! Anyway, we were making fun of how some of the singer were singing and before we knew it we were doing the usual out of control thing. Denise then joined in and it was on. lol. Vic had mention "Tina Turner" was singing as well and I told him I didn't think so, but Vic I was wrong she was there with the rest of the crew. Not sure how much money the song made but I remember singing along with them and knowing the main damn chorus. Yes I got on you tube and and search for it. LOL. Anyway, for your viewing enjoyment. WE ARE THE WORLD Ladies and Gentlemen.

I want to SCREAM!!
I seriously want to SCREAM from the top of my lungs. I know life is not perfect and I never wanted to be rich, or famous, or have anyone KNOW ME for anything but for just being me. But hell, when does the bullshit stop and the real shit begin. I look around me daily and try to brace myself for whats going to happen next, However, each day I do that it seems to be a waste of time. What ever I have braced myself for, it ain't never what I expect and I am always left scratching my head and thinking "I didn't see THAT COMING". Each day brings about a new challenge and change, I am trying to get a grip on everything but it's hard to just do what you need to do. I am sick of changes that make you feel like your doing EVERYTHING wrong and nothing RIGHT. I know I need to let go and let God, and that is just saying things I can not change I need to accept and move the fuck on. I vent daily, and I vent so much that I don't even think anyone notice or hears anymore, or for that matter gives a rats ass. Everyone around me is so programed that they vent and 30 Min's later they forgot what they vented about and do it all over again. Life is something I never expected to be so confusing as a child, I couldn't wait to grow up and be an adult and do my own shit. NOW!! I wish there are things I could go back and change starting from childhood. It' easy to think you know it all as a child, teen or young adult. But once you REALLY know shit you wish you didn't know and you are left saying "If I knew then, what I know Now". The facts are you couldn't have gotten to NOW, without going through whatever you go through. If you knew what you know now then, you would be probably saying that same thing then as your saying now. I wish I could turn back time and do so many things differently, I wish I wish I WISH!!! But you can't so since you can't you just move on with the knowledge that, as Jerrie would say "It is what it is" which is now my motto. Let's all smile and say it together "It is what it is" thank you for listening to me and allowing me to vent, I welcome any comments you may have and if you leave a comment that pisses me off KNOW you will get cussed the hell out. *BIG SMILE*

Alter Ego Anyone...
Bruce Wayne has Batman, Clark Kent has Superman, Barbara Gordon or Barbara Wilson has Batgirl (depending on what Batman you watched) and Dr. Jekyll has Mr. Hyde, I have an alter ego and I am going to play her little virtual ass as much as possible. Now she isn't a super hero with extra ordinary powers. But she posses the desires, the wants, the needs and the means to get what I don't have. I know a lot of people think that playing an online virtual game is a waste of time. A lot of ppl make fun of me, and that's ok too. I often laugh at times I don't understand. Lack of knowledge will do that to you every time. Truth be told there are a lot of things ppl do that escape my reason of what mmakes sense. But each of us has a hobby, mine happens to be online virtual games. Some people don't have hobbies, instead they do nothing with time but, hmm, nothing. Some people don't have a boring life like I do, lol, so they can enjoy vacations, going out, and enjoying lots of family and friends around them. I hate to admit it but I am not a friendly person (HAHAHA on the floor laughing my ass off). I am not going to pretend to like you if I don't unless of course I am FORCED!! (looks at Jerrie) lol. My mother use to force me, or try to I should say to like people. My grandmother accepted that little part of me and never tried to make me like anyone I didn't. Anyway, the facts of me playing an online game is because money is these days and gas prices being out of this world. Playing a virtual online game, and watching netflix is a good way of me to keep busy and have some fun. So yeah, I play.
What most of you already know, or maybe don't know is that I have not been in SL as much as before. I usually log in to hear the rain and fall asleep at my computer. I have been playing world of war craft with Dee more and more and leveling with him. I haven't had time for Second Life between my blood pressure, trying to make Dee by playing WOW and watching my instance quene movies on Netflix it's been a slow breeze.
I also have been watching some old movies and sitcoms on Netflix, one of my favorites have been "The Night Stalker", some British comedy from the 70's called "Good Neighbors" and a movie called "Die Die My Darling", very cheesy I remember seeing it as a kid and only knowing that this dead guys mother was trying to kill the very young and not really famous yet Stephanie Powers character. When I watched it the other night I understood the whole story, Stephanie Powers plays a young woman who was engaged to this guy who died, and the mother of the guy wants to meet Stephanie. You then find out the mother is a crazy ass religious nut and wants "save Stephanie" so she can be pure for her son when she dies and he comes back. *raises eye brows*. Good plot, suspense, they should do a damn remake of it. I even got a chance to see Harold & Kumar, which was a little on the funny side. I think Neal Patrick Harris playing a sex crazed womanize was funny as hell, considering the fact we all know he is an open homosexual. I like Neal Patrick Harris, I think he is some what of a good actor.
Anyway back to the "ALTER EGO" ECHOS, I have an online persona that mimics my real life one. However, I would like to keep my real life away from my virtual one now. The reason for this is because of stress on every major front job, kids, money, health, the only stable thing in my life right now is my marriage and that is because we worked hard on it to built it up. So I would like to come on game as my alter ego and just be someone... ELSE! I want to work on my designing again, as well as other fun things. Now Second Life will be my main game, but I have looked at other forms of online fun and I am going to just do a Nike and "JUST DO IT". I am going to keep my regular Avie but I will play my ALTER EGO more now since I have decided that this may be a fun thing to try. Hell why not, nothing wrong with having an alt as long as your not hurting anyone.
Speaking of WOW, I got my Azure Whelping today, I know I haven't talked about the damn whelping to any of you. But I have been wanting one now for over 5 months, they cost almost 900 gold at the auction house. Today we went to the place where they dropped and ended up with, are you ready for this? TWO!! Now mind you per other ppl who play wow it takes anywhere from 2 to 3 hours for the Dragon to drop one. It took us 30 Min's to get the first one then another 30 for the second one to drop. YAY!! I may put one out for sell for 900 gold, why the hell not.
