Ive once again second life is boring me and i find it irritating. People dont talk, it crashes and its doesnt interest me.
I the only interesting thing ive done this week on it is going to a different location but i found it still boring.
At the end of the day its just people around chatting rubbish, doing stupid stuff with there avatar and its funny or clever... Its just sad.
Last Week coming, YES.

Half Way Second week on Second Life
Through this week on second Life ive just been having conversations with people. I found myself spending longer time this week as some conversations got interesting.
Ive also found how people are rude and sometimes dont want to talk to you or be your friend.
This week has been more interesting but still not finding it the most exciting thing ever.

One more thing what i dont like about the star sign.
Im not selfish either, i like to share, i always share and i dont like people who dont.
Star Sign (self identity)
Im a Aries, the ram which is the first sign of the zodiac.
Whilest research my star sign on wikipedia i saw abit on the personality. It say:
"Postitive: Adventurous and energetic Pioneering and courageous Enthusiastic and confident Dynamic and quick-witted

Negative: Selfish and quick-tempered Impulsive and impatient Foolhardy and daredevil
Likes
* Action
* Coming in first
* Challenges
* Championing Causes
* Spontaneity
Dislikes
* Waiting Around
* Admitting Failure
* No opposition
* Tyranny
* Other peoples advice"
I believe this explains me very well, the only point on there i can say i dont like is " other peoples Advice", as i do like to hear what other people say.
This has made me think about my star sign and if a ram could be a good avatar or have something of a ram.

Self Identity to Me
After researching into self identity ive found its our personality in basic terms but also what builds our personality, family, friends, interests, experiences and other such things.
Ive also found that media and branding has a big part, people feel the need to consume and make there possessions apart of there personality due to celebrities they idolize. For a good example is pop music, the spice girls for example influenced a generation of girl power to young girls.
Another interesting point is that our idols and general ideas change through time, so this also means our self identity we would of had a few years ago or days ago could well be different.
With such virtual world such as Second Life etc this has gave us a new way of looking at self identity. This gives people a alto-ego concept, this makes them look into there self and identify it with something else.
Self Identity to me is my keyboard, as music is one of my great passions in life. Ive also had experiences with my keyboard that will stay with me and have shaped me into the person i am today. Basically music has had the biggest impact on my life.
I believe music is going to have a big part in my identities work.

Self Identity
Though researching self identity I've found its about understanding and knowledge of there own self, this can be through psychological, physical and social attributes. Attitudes, Habits, Beliefs and Ideas also influence our Self Identity.
There are three key points of interest in Self concept, Learned, Organized and Dynamic.
Learned- Through our life time we change and re change our ways and perspective due to experences and repeated experiences. This has a great effect towards our identity. Also relationships with people change our identity.
Organized- Orderliness and harmony makes us organized, then organization gives us Consistency to our personality. This makes personality dependable.
Dynamic- Gives the person the consistent s in life that gives us our stance in life and the direction for behaviour we take.
In basic terms its looking deep within your personalityand knowing the existences of ones self.

Mulholland Drive (search for Self Identity)
My favourite director is David Lynch, in 2003 Lynch wrote and directed a film called Mulholland Drive.
This film deals with the idea of Self Identity, searching and knowing it. For example the first three quarters of the film about how an woman gets amnesia, she ends up tagging along with an up coming actress where they both try and find out who the woman is. Then the last quarter of the film the characters kind of switch roles (in the sense of which character has the power over the other character).
Without spoiling it for other viewers im not going to give away plot twisters and etc (as its a complex film and i wouldn't like to spoil the entertainment of trying to know what happens in the film) but this happens because of the searching for identity, the first three quarters is about searching for identity and as the last quarter isn't, it still is because of the twist and the reason why the characters power switches.
I thought this was an interesting to mention, the whole idea of searching for identity and for other students who haven't seen the film but would be interested.
If you haven't seen the film, i would recommend you do but your going to need to spend some time thinking about it and watch it a few times... Its All In The Mise en scene.

First Week on second life
After my first week on second life, i still think the same and that its for sad people with no life.
I spent alot of time persuading people to live there real life, but people seem to think that second life is real. S o i asked them what you can do on second life and the answer where short or my simple reply was "but you can do that for real?"
The only good thing for second life is sad people with no life and companies that wanna go on the internet , advertise or get people to buy there stuff.

Second Life (first thoughts)
I started second life this monday, to be honest i think its crap and sad. Obiviously the people who go on this are people who have no life, hence second life.
I found my computer struggled to run, but it was ok after awhile.
My favourite part of second life was making my character, the only reason is because i made him look like Sloth with pink skin and green hair.
All in all im not impressed i 'have' to do this but i will carry on as expected.

Screaming Lights (write up)
I know i was only meant to do one picture, but i thought 3 was better.
The first picture is my fairy lights in my bed room, this screams colour because theres so much pink but also diffent tones of pink due to the lighting and glare.
The second picture is of my friends pillow that has lights changing colour. This picture screams colour because its completely black but what colour you see is bright. This picture works well because of the black and it makes the colour stand out more.
Last but not least, the third picture. This picture is of a small LCD light on a set of small pc speakers. This has the same effect as the second picture, darkness with big lights.
None of these pictures have been tampered with, i wanted to be as basic as possible and show you do need to mess on photoshop to get good effects.
My favourite picture is the second picture, because the pillow was changing colour as i took it so you can see two different colours together which i think give a charming effect.
These pictures where inspired from the Radiohead artwork there latest album In Rainbows, which the artwork is black with bright paint colours splashed and squashed on top, the darkness with bright colours make the colours me pleasing and brighter.
Please let me know what you think?
