Each of us has to find the right balance in our life, and remember that our outlook, our attitudes, our kindliness or lack of it show up in whatever we do, whether in world, or in life, or while plurking or blogging. I loved your advice. It's like the part of Zen and the Art of Motorcycles..... where he realizes he is bashing around doing more harm than good, and that he has to just "let it go" for a bit. Signing off, or signing out, or tuning out for a while is a mentally refreshing break. It's what I do when I am frustrated with some designs I am working on, or some pieces I am throwing that just aren't working out like I planned. (Of course, there is a certain amount of satisfaction to be gained by smashing a clay pot, and knowing you can recycle the whole damned thing.....) So, this Redneck wannabe says "YeeHaw!" to Radar. Guess I'll have to go to SL to git me a gun and shoot at the neighbor's garage for a while, since I couldn't possibly do it here at home! The police would be out front, or the white truck from the funny farm, faster than you could say "YeeHaw!" back to me. So here's to well-rounded, fun-loving, interactive pals, RedNeck or not, Goth or not, Furries or not, Hot or not. Raising another glass of Jameson in your direction, Cheers, Twinkles Redneck or not, Radar you’ve got it right.
