Erwin Schrott sings Votre Toast... (Prepare to be swooned

Erwin Schrott at Dresden's Semper-Opernball.

Too bad, those militaristic German chorus can't be like Spanish crowd at bullfighting arena or lawdy Spanish Cantina where tobacco factory workers/ soldiers and gypsies gather.

Escamillo telling his tale as a Toreador just came back from his triumphant arena, and Schrott does just that. He is not in the costume since this was opera ball, but one cannot picture him anything other than the most popular toreador in Seville.

I'm telling you, I have heard more than 20 versions of this aria, and I have seen performance on stage, and some video recordings close to another 10 of them. I'm not sure if the Schrott's latin temperament or his acting skills, that makes this Escamillo comes alive. I rarely see the stage actors/opera singers or even stage performers who could coax the audience from four sides. (I'm sorry but rock band just staring straight up does nothing for me. LOL)
Schrott's natural ability to include every single soul in the house is just his gift. Some learns as the craft of their profession. For Erwin Schrott, that is where his heart belongs.

Need I say more?

Self righteousness/creativity infests in virtual community

What is with those people who take on themselves some duty to police around second life?

Oh and dime a dozen self proclaimed creators and designers who has no back ground on any sort of arts education. Please.
When they think they are creative because they know how to *recreate some RL products* it shows their limitation of their ability as an artist/creator or simple put lacking their creativity and originality.

Attaching some sort of end use agreement that has no legal basis whatsoever on every time they sell...
Attaching some sort of copyright/DMCA warning on creation they stole the design from some real life products or picture they didn't snap.
It is very funny to read those *seemingly legal* notice when they never even read the whole DMCA nor the law that pertaining to the IP rights they are proclaiming for.

My advise? Leave the laws to your counselor. You are not that smart to be your own counsel.


Call themselves DJ when they didn't pay for the tracks they play. Or don't even know the album it came from.

Don't forget those DJ's and creators that use hacked/stolen software.
Lemme tell you. Before you put those stupid baseless EULA and DMCA warnings, they should prepare to attach their software license number.

Creator's IP rights, my ass.
Buy your own software to start. Then, design your own creation. Not copying some designer or product catalog.
Buy your own music.

Those fake creators and fake creations bores me to tears.

I read some forum entry on some example.
I do not remember the exact quote, but in effect that "the kid who drew the picture of Pikachu won't be sued for Copyright infringement."

Yea, those so called creators are like 7 year old kids tracing the picture of Pikachu from their book. ... They may not be illegal, but their creations are as exciting as those doodling by elementary school kids.

*yawn

Coffee and Bonbons...

Before I go into the details, I want to clarify that I could careless about the sim I am going to talk about.
From where I stand/my point of views, they deserve each other, and i just watch their stupid drama in slight amusement as I have always been done.

So I was warned and go sit down with fresh pot of coffee and bonbons.

The sim I used to hang around when I used to think people over there are generally cool. However, the owner is clueless and oblivious to what is going on under his nose, people who truly spend their free time basically working, contributing to *HIS* private sim was never get the backings that they deserve.

There are few *MANIPULATIVE*, *NARCISSISTIC*, sons of a whoring bitches who don't have balls to take responsibility yet point fingers every now and then WHEN they are fucking around with each other which make them look really bad, ignoring the duties as *the Royals* as they call themselves. lol.

As I said, from where I stand, it is just funny as hell.

But then, I have few people I count as my friend there.

The person works her ass off in real life, supporting her own family which demands siginificant of her time and energy compare to those of us with fairly healthy household. Oh it is good. I think the person is capable enough to handle stress and responsibility of her own household.

Then, she comes log into SL on her limited freetime, DJing, managing the sim, trying to put everything in order.
Did anyone else with that stupid title help her? Maybe one.

From where I stand. That is nothing new. That just what it is. That is normal for them. They don't care if *family* is working their ass off. They just stand around the wall and shoot shit.

But this manipulative bitch...
Just sit back and talks all the shits like how honor counts and how loyal he is... then turn around and manipulate others who are younger or with less wits into go gainst those people he feels like pointing figer at.
Every single fucking year, this son of a bitch entangle himself in a drama, and CONVENIENTLY *take a vacation from SL* till the shits he started calms down forgotten.

Go check your Royal's profile. Clean the profile and "I'm taking a vacation from SL".

You know why he has to do that?

Because he went behind one person who really takes care of that sim, calling in some Royal meeting so he could make himself look like some hero stepping in to make things right. In truth, he has something to hide from everyone, so just needed to devert some attention from himself, selling some fight against someone he calls *friend*~ whatever that means~. SELF RIGHTEOUS bitch who has no integrity whatsoever.
I never lied to anyone over there. They hate me for my capability to point out the brutal truth. That is fine with me. I never call anyone so superficial and fake even an acquaintence. That is basically why I left.
And same ficking thing all over again.

My opinion is that the sim does not deserve my friend's attention. Let alone her effort and time.

Yesterday, I thought the whole drama was funny.
But after a day, just the fact that my friend still cares about the sim itself to a degree just making me feel like strangle those people who are TAKING HER for GRANTED.

WHY the fuck is this person feel the need to hide in her own fucking sim?


This is exactly the reason why i don't do *FAKE SL FAMILY*.

Look at them.
