CARNIVAL OF DOOM.. The Movie
Came across this video while reading Rezzable. Some time ago I had blogged about the Carnival Of Doom and you may remember that I was very impressed. Well recently I came across this little video and thought I'd share it with you. It captures the essence of the place way better than words ever could, although nothing as dramatic happened to ME there, dammit.
Maybe it's time to go back?!
Rezzable Check out the Molotov videos while your there!

In Loving Memory Of My Friend
Stephen king's pet cemetery had all our animals coming back from the afterlife to make our currant ones a living hell. This pet cemetery won't bring your beloved pal back from the dead, but it will give you a a very fulfilling second chance to mourn him!
In my humble opinion, the Memorial Wall is an even better way to stay close to your pet while grieving, than a traditional cemetery. Here your pets memory photo is displayed along with others of his kind. The owner Vitolo Rossini requests that you give him a photo and a notecard describing your little being and what he brought to your live, and/or the lives of others. When residents click on the photo, they get your notecard and a glimpse of who this little furry person was.
The Memorial Wall is free for all pet owners and not only dogs are remembered here. There are plenty of cats too!
Miata Savannah, Born May 30th 2004 Died April 20th 2009 Bearlock Caesar Hachiko (loyal dog) Born April 24th 2004 Died April 20th 2009 Mia & Bear were the best dogs anyone could ever hope to have. They were very loyal to me. They loved to go down to the water, run on the beach and play in the water. When I would come home they would hear me coming, when I would open the door they would be sitting there waiting with the leashes in their mouth's knowing we would be going for a walk. Bear was the one that would be looking all over investigating everything he come across,sticking his nose in everything while Mia would sit back and watch her buddy. I could almost read her mind saying ,Oh gosh Bear now what are you doing. It was so sweet to watch them for they were truly the bestest friends and did everything together and were never apart. There is so much more that can be said and there isnt enough of space here to share with you all. They were full of life and were TAKEN from us way to soon for Mia and Bear will be sadly missed!!!
Besides the Memorial Wall, Dogland Park also offers a dog park of course, and various dogs for adoption, you'll also find lots of interesting pet supplies to keep you and your pooches second life happy.
Is this dark?
Absolutely! Okay, well in all honesty, I could probably make a baby SEAL dark, I mean darkness is a matter of mind.., and heart. But...,
ask any pet owner and they'll tell you, the death of an animal can be chock full of mind bending darkness...,

The Door To Pteron
Dark, beautiful, intense, Pteron, a place of serenity and peace, with the edge of the unknown.
Home to the Pyroxene Relax, Pteron is a silent, mysterious tale of an unknown species.
Pteron lies in a dimension in between, a time onto itself. The first thing you experience as you wonder around this profoundly spiritual place, is a sense of the alien. You begin to suspect that Pteron's inhabitants are monetarily out of sight and if you turn around quickly enough, you'll catch them standing eerily behind you, beaming good thoughts your way.
Pteron is made up of two distinct regions; Nostos and Kyklos. Each offer the soothing peace that can be attained only in the dark. On their website Naonao Watanabe describes Pteron as the abyss of mind, a world consciousness connection project in second life. But if this is the abyss, take comfort, Pteron isn't the dark chaotic mess one would imagination that exists at the bottom of the human mind, instead it offers sanity, resolution, and rapture.
Beyond description, take a moment to experience Pteron, and dream.
"Eternal ring exists in your mind. It will flow like a river."

Transylvania, A Celebration Of Life
Sometimes you come across a place in Second Life, that is so striking, it just blows you away.
Such a place is Transylvania. Larger than life, dramatic and provocative, it's a place not just focused on the idea of the dark, but is quintessentially the dark itself.
Shadows seep through every street, and slide around every curve of stone. It is a place born of the vampiritic way of life, not fascinated by death, but a celebration of the vampiric way of being alive.
These people are serious folks, there's the feel of close knit family ties and of shared history. The things you encounter here are the virtual manifestations of secret and passionate beliefs.
Transylvania stresses that it is not a role playing sim; all are welcome here. When I arrived, there was a rapturous party going on in the streets, with various night creatures dancing playfully to the music of a favorite DJ.
I began my tour at the Musee Des Vampyrs, a Gothic palace that houses an extensive history of vampirism. Information on everything to do with vampires can be found here, from The Acid Bath Vampire, a serial killer in England in the late 1940s, to Vlad The Impaler, also known as Dracula.
Particularity fascinating was the information on the currant state of modern day vampirism, such as the psychological and physical effects of vampirism on the individual, or the definition of today's vampire and how to tell if you are one.
You can even read recent news stories about vampires caught in real life action.
Be prepared to spend some time here absorbing all the knowledge available, it is very interesting reading.
On the second floor, you'll find every vampire movie poster ever made! Colorful and magnetic, the posters cover the walls with familiar and not so familiar faces from film and legend. A nostalgic treat!
After my education, I left the building with a deeper understanding and respect for this mysterious species so locked into the darkness. I yearn for more, so I continue my tour through the town.
The shops and other establishments are plentiful, rich and opulent. Lots of good shopping here for unusual items, especially clothing.
Everywhere I wander however, seems poised on the verge of promise; I unconsciously hold my breath, certain that some..., thing, is about to happen.
(Below me a stunningly beautiful couple exchange words, gestures, than part, her dress sweeps around her ankles as she glides away.)
I look up to see a castle suspended over the town, it's anchored in solid rock and is the center of attention. Curious I fly over to take a peek into it's windows and see a scene so dynamic it is again, as though the room itself is waiting in anticipation for the next act to begin.
On the ledge beside me sits a gargoyle, silently watching the performance, all performances, unfold.
It's raining at the cemetery when I arrive. Most appropriate as this place has weight; a sentimental memorial left for a fallen real life friend strikes my heart like an arrow and I realize just how united this community really is.
Gravestones are intricate. The dead reside under them and they've marked them with their individual personalities. As I gaze at the stones I become lost in thought, perhaps, I think, what makes vampires so fascinating is not their raw power, or their undead status, but their strength in bearing the burden of ultimate unknowable despair.
In the end there is one word for this wondrous place;
Exquisite.
If you are not a poet, you will become one as you try to get your mind around Transylvania.
Visit to share your oddness with others. Even if you are not a vampire. You'll be accepted here. Arrive with your sadness and sit a while in the cemetery. Your sadness is understood here. Come with respect, for a way you may not know. Respect is everything here. Come to dance , your joy is shared here. Expect to find new and perhaps mysterious places inside your soul. And lastly, no matter your appearance, come as yourself, for the beings that know death, embrace life in all it's shades and variations of truth, here, there is no room for deceit.
