You know when you been Tagged. - 8 Random Facts!

I just got tagged... now this doesnt mean I have to wear a tag stating im an idiot or that i buy my clothes from tramps. No this is stating 8 facts about yourself and then picking another 8 people to be tagged.. hmm will have to work on the other people to tag thing..



Facts



1. Already told you this one ( what caused me to get tagged! ) I can do hypnosis on others and on myself. Have enjoyed making people forget numbers or dance a little silly.. as well as finding it interesting how the brain works and how you can condition yourself to gain confidence... or other such skills.



2. Stand Up Comedy. Back in 2004 I took up stand up comedy for a while, this harks back to when I was a young lad of 8 who had a dream to tell jokes at the school christmas do. Something happened and I couldnt do it, cut to years later and I end up deciding to do a stand up course. Met some great people and then went off on my own to do lots of gigs. My first gig was a success, my second I died in a bad bad way. Then slowly but surely I improved and my last gig I felt I cracked it and I had everyone in the audience eating out of my palm... not literally that would have been unhygienic. If stand up didnt take up so much of your time, I would have carried on with it as the feeling you get after a good gig is incredible and the rush lasts for days



3. Photography, maybe you already realise this or maybe you wear blinkers, but I adore photography and only really started taking it seriously as a hobby in the last few years. After deciding Stand up was too hard to fit in with my schedule I needed something I could dip into and this was it. I love nothing more than spending a day alone walking around somewhere finding the perfect photo, then coming back and seeing all my shots and choosing the best and printing them for my portfolio. I also this year made the jump into making money through photograpy and now its paid for itself and looking forward to improving my style.



4. I was at Waterloo station when they filmed the scenes for The Bourne Ultimatum. We saw the camera crews shooting the bus scene and wasnt sure what it was for and thought it would be a TV show. Then literally last night I watched the film and went.. "OOOOH" and realised that we could have been in the movie if we hung around more. Ahhh fame

5. Pizzas. I am a VERY good pizza chef and I make the best pizza you would EVER eat. I spent from 16-18 years old in a pizza restaurant and learnt what made the ideal pizza and even cooked for a few famous people who popped in after they were at the local theatre. So if you ever find yourself dropping in, cross your fingers and hope I will make you one of my specials

6. I hated school, and it hated me! If you had asked anyone at school to name the child most likely to fail and do nothing with there life or to pick out the stupid kid. 9 times of of 10 I would have been named. I hated school with a passion and it has given me a hatred of following rules. However after leaving school and getting a job in the restaurant I found myself and found out that I wasnt stupid and could do anythign I set out to do.

7. Tarot. I can read tarot cards and have also been able to read peoples jewellry and other such crazy things. I have spent alot of time looking into psychics and other such phenomenon and alot of it is blind luck or chance. I do think there is something to it and I believe in years to come we may have answers to it... it wont be ghosts sending us messages but something that science can justify..

8. I once wore a dress.. Now let me explain a little more. When I was in the cub scouts we used to do a summer parade and one year the theme we took was the muppets. Now I could do a mean Fozzy bear impression but no I got picked to be Miss Piggy! Hmmmm so I ended up wearing a dress and walking through town wearing this massive piggy mask which was made out of plaster and I have never had to carry something on my head that heavy before or ever again.. I think I may still be scarred from this and will be forever

Little fact no 1

I wanted to share some facts about me, just so you got to understand where I am coming from, or why I am the person I am....

Fact 1. I learnt self hypnosis.. I found it an amazing way to relax and condition myself to do things that I normally wouldnt want to do or lack confidence in.

However the downside is whenever I hear the word " Elvis" I dance like a chicken....

How many talents does SL allow you?

I hope by now kind reader you have not got bored of me or thought I am some buffoon. I find it amazing how we are all talented here in SL land.. I dance with flair, I pose like a model and my abs are rock hard. I found a new talent tonight. The piano..

I sat down thinking I would play a couple of notes and it would be terrible.

However I sat down... played a few notes..... yeah it was terrible.. still looks good in the photo

Art appreciation

Well Im finding myself wandering this land we call SL and trying to find things that make me smile.. or laugh or just make me stand in awe.. this was one such location... a large 30foot high bronzed lady.. I stood and stared for ages at her.... I like to think I am appreciating art... Others may think im looking up her skirt.

Standing at the feet of giants

There is a saying about standing at the feet of giants, well I came to conclusion today, through a combination of chatting to a friend and just generally coming to a point in my life where I no longer want to sit at the feet of giants... so Im turning everything on its head and then I came across this place.. and it kind of sums up how I feel. Sure I might be at the feet of a giant.. but I am taller than them now....

To the future..........

What decorations to put on the christmas tree?

Ever thought the old christmas decorations you have are old hat or tacky looking? Well spare a thought for one such resident of SL who upset his ex... she decided to decorate her tree with the one thing no self respecting man wants to see on the tree...

Guys... you can look away now... ladies. No getting any ideas

P.s Its not mine!

What is SL all about?

Someone once told me that SL was for sex. I wondered long and hard about this ( no pun intended ) and then came across this below and thought... thats some mighty big porn... and I guess porn is all around you.....

Lets just say seeing a 20foot boob in front of you is startling

Dont play with fireworks

Following on from my visit to greenies house I just wanted to warn all the kids in SL. Which is hard seen as you have to be over 18, ok let me rephrase. All noobs with the original hair and skin.. please be careful of fireworks.. They arent big or clever, although in this case it was both...

p.s You will have to find it and try it to see what I mean

How many modes of transport?

It amazes me the things you can do in this old SL life, for instance I popped over to a good friends house a few weeks ago and had a chat with her and her fiance. Now the next thing I know I am dressed in my ninja/vampire killer outfit riding on the back of the fiance who is now a dragon.

This begs a few questions, how many modes of transport are there in SL..

As well as, am I taking enough meds?

a 1000 words

My user in RL asked me to post one of his favourite photos on here so you can see the sort of thing he keeps himself busy with when not talking to me on here.

This photo is of the London Eye and to truly appreciate its size you have to stand below it and gaze up at it...

What do you want from Santa?

Well I thought you all might find this a nice little snippet of information. I was out at a shop and standing around a large christmas tree. On the tree it had sheets of paper with handwritten notes to Santa. I had a read of a few of them and most were things like. "Dear Santa.. I want an IPOD.. love Jason" or "Dear Santa... i want my parents to spend loads of money on me... love greedy child "

It was amongst this list of greed and consumerism that i spotted this note and it made me stop and think for a minute .. please note the wording may have been slightly different " Dear Santa... I would like to have a nice time with my family at christmas and to wish my Uncle Justin in heaven a happy christmas... Love Jemma " now after reading that it made me think.... what would you REALLY love to get from Santa if you could choose one thing.... would it be a gadget... chocolates or maybe something really special..... I know mine would be to spend christmas day with my grandparents. To have one last day with them and hear them and talk to them, never wanting that day to end .....

p.s Here is me sitting on the jolly fat mans knee... lets just say he has wandering hands!

How small do I feel now!

SL amazes me, from the crazy sex starved noobs begging you for money to the wonderful lands you can visit. I got a link to Greenies Room and WOW, this place is amazing. Its another place you can spend ages walking around, clicking on things and taking lots of photos. I find it wonderful that people spend there time creating different places that totally immerse you in them. No tacky buildings and bling, just quality and realism. OK apart from the 30 foot high milk bottle isnt realistic but you know what I mean.

What did I drink last night?

Here is a word of warning about being careful what you drink in SL. I woke up this morning and have no idea I came to be standing around dressed in a hooters outfit and a blonde wig, worse still I had 4 other hooter girls... well I say girls, 1 was a guy dressed up like me and another was a guy with a female shape! ( dang richard you looked hot ) and it felt like a barbie convention.

p.s im the cutie on the left

A Little More About Me

Well you may wonder what I do in SL land... its simple apart from being a goof I do photography. I have my own studio which I generally just hang around in and do some photography as well as sell my work and the work of my user in RL

What a wonderful world..

I love exploring this land we call S.L. Its amazing the people and places you find. I have spoken with vampires, upset werewolves, laughed, cried and generally been amazed at the vastness of it all. I find myself doing things i only dreamed about.

For instance I have been to "The Far Away" a few times and its just so amazing and realistic.. you can believe you are in this field... with so many things to do. Go look, explore and be amazed and you may just see AM Radio... who i believe is SLs very own Willy Wonka

In My Shoes

Well I just re-read a poem which I have read many times before, if you want to know a little about the man behind Decount... read "Welcome to Holland by Emily Perl Kingsley." This sums up what its like to have a disabled child...

Decount - living in holland

How good looking can one SL guy be?

I thought I should post a photo in case you are wondering what I look like. I have my own hair and own teeth and I want world peace ( no wait wrong AV )

Day 1 - The empty page syndrome

Hi, I guess I should really start by introducing myself. Decount Beresford... Dec to my friends. I live in a wonderful little place called S.L ( second life to those who haven't been ) I have been living in SL for around 6 months and have had alot of fun and amazing times and met some really nice people.

Who am I... well that will be down to you to find out through these blogs or coming to chat to me, I am friendly and love to have a laugh but dont like rude people, trust me I can be very rude back ( I know alot of swearwords and am able to mix and match them.. )

So what is this blog and what are my aims... I guess I just want to share a little of Dec with the world, which is a scary thought.

Now you may notice a few things on my blog and with me... here they are in no particular order

1. Sometimes I might spell a word wrong or not use punctuation. This is due to a) typing too quick b) not being a pedant about this, I hate just txt tlk n fnd it annying. I find as long as you can read what a persons wrote and its not homework then ignore the small things

2. I am easy going and like to have a laugh, if you want to bring drama to the party, itsnot invited. If you like to be a pain or argue then go live in a place called RL... Enough idiots out there already

3. I hate lists ... usually

4. Rules are meant to be broken

5. Bored now

6. I should stop writing

Well I wont bore you any more I might just put up a few photos of what I have found and enjoy in SL and I hope you come back to read every so often. I might even streak if you do kind reader
