You are fading…
but I can’t let you go. I hold you lightly love you tightly.
You are my twirl swirl sweet golden light.
You are fading.
Time is not on our side.
As you slip slide twist glide and fall.
I still see your shine.
You are mine.
You are my mystery light flight falling calling back to me.
You are fading.
Uncategorized | Comment (0)Double El’s Survivor Online Interview
Interviewer: What is your Avatar’s name? Why did you give him/her this name?
Your Avatar: My Avatar’s name is Double ELs. I gave him that name because my real life name is Lou Lahana and it has two L’s. I want my Avatar to be closely linked to me.
Interviewer: What are your biggest strengths?
Your Avatar: Double Els biggest strength is he can read minds. Do you see the circles behind him? Those are the waves that enter your brain and return back to him with your thoughts. He is a kind and understanding man, so unless you’re thinking REALLY evil thoughts, he’ll leave you alone. If you’re thinking kind thoughts, he’ll probably try and be your friend.
Interviewer: Why do you look the way you do?
Your Avatar: I wear my burgundy glasses so the thought-reading waves don’t enter my own mind. The leaves on my head represent nature. I love to spend time in forests and with wild animals. My long ears help me to receive the thought-waves I send out. The body suit I wear helps me to climb trees and pull myself onto branches.
Interviewer: Tell me about your companion.
Your Avatar My companion’s name is SUPER-SAMMY. She gathers food for me and protects me from people who wish to do me harm.
Interviewer: I noticed you have a lot of different colors, why did you choose these
colors?
Your Avatar: All the colors I wear are colors you can find in nature. I hate bright colors because they don’t seem real to me.
Interviewer: Do you look the same in real life? In what ways yes and in what ways
no?
Your Avatar: In real life there are a lot of ways I look like Double-Els. Both of us have beards and hair that’s combed on the side. He has a few more muscles then me…maybe. Both of us carry cell phones and have pet cats. Double Els looks different then me in a couple of ways. First, he seems to be pretty tall, which I am not. Second, he looks to be about 40 years old, while I am only 30. Last, Double Els looks a little more serious then me. I doubt he tells too many jokes throughout the day.
Interviewer: What do you think makes you different from other Avatars?
Your Avatar: My avatar has special powers to read minds and influence people. He is kind and peaceful.
Interviewer: What are your biggest weaknesses?
Your Avatar: Double Els’ biggest weakness is for animals. He has a hard time reading their minds and falls in love with them easily. That becomes a weakness with evil animals.
Interviewer: Can you tell me a story about when you’ve been a hero? (make this
up)
Your Avatar: One time I met up with a group middle school Avatars. We were chatting about the latest manga books, websites we like to hang out at, and pizza places we go to in RL (real life). Something struck me as weird about one of the Avatars named Mo Lester. He wanted to know everybody’s real names and where we lived. This avatar named Lil’ Poptart started to give out his info, when I quickly turned on my thought-reading waves. I realized that Mo Lester was really a 50 year old mechanic who had ill-intentions (if you know what I mean). I reacted quickly by banning Mo Lester from our chat group and warning Lil’ Poptart not to be such a knuckle-head by giving out his personal info to a stranger.
Uncategorized | Comment (0)Robots for the Elderly?
I just read an article going over different advances in technology to help the elderly. One of the advances they talked about was a robotic spoon to help feed them. In my opinion the problem with the arm is that you have to use a joystick to operate it. I mean, isn’t it easier for someone to just feed themselves than to have to operate a joystick for a spoon to feed themselves?
Another invention the article discussed was an automatic wheel chair that can remember the routes you like to travel. Sounds good, but what happens when there is a cat or a chair in the way? Does it slam into it, veer away, or stop in front of it? Also, who’s programming this thing? My grandma barely knows how to use her TV remote!
