Being Lost can be a WONDERFUL Thing!!
Most of you know me as Clint, one of the club owners of Premier Evolution...the guy who puts on the shows and flirts no stop on a dance floor. Others know me as a person who takes great pride in his work and his vision and has a blast seeing it come to fruition. Others, and very few of you know me as a the person who is struggling to get out from behind the other two previously mentioned persona's and just be Clint.
Many people come to SL for many different reasons, but the one that I am most interested in ... is why they stay. SL isn't easy in those first couple of weeks, while you wander aimlessly trying to find what it is all about and what the possibilities are, how to get started, how to get money and mostly how to buy that fabulous pair of shoes you saw :P Most of you also don't know that I am a very creative person in RL, I have worked in the flower industry on and off for most of my adult life..although currently not working in that industry but still missing it desperately. And that was the reason that I stayed in SL....it feeds my creativity. It did not take long to get bitten by the builder bug and the possibilities are endless!! Add to that my love to entertain, throwing dinner parities to large events and boom....we had the making of Evo. There is nothing like loosing yourself in a build or being immersed in creativity. Some of my hardest RL & SL times...I have grabbed my hammer or more lately my camera and have set off to leave all those issues behind and create or build something beautiful. The day that I had to put my 15 y/o basset hound, Sebastian to sleep...I came home in tears, logged in world, picked up my hammer and for the next 8-10 hours built one of my best builds ever, Creation. It didn't amaze me when it was done that it resembled a temple...i built it in honor of my boy. But in those hours i don't remember connecting a single prim...it all just flowed out of me. In recent days, it has been my photography, coming up with a concept for art, adding all the elements to make a great picture, pulling it into photo shop and working on it until it is perfect or at least something that I am very proud of.
SL has always been an extension of my RL self from the first day I picked up my hammer and started building....however, I loose myself in the build, in the creativity of it all. I forget all the issues that surround me or are effecting me at the time and focus on what is beautiful.
So my advise to you is find what brings you happiness, what is an extension of what you are and what you want to be...and then Loose yourself in it....it really is a wonderful thing.
Here is a glimpse of what i have been "loosing" myself in lately. Hope you enjoy....Huggs Clint

Time Marchs On
Sorry for the long delay in posting. Have had a lot of RL issues to deal with in the last week that has kept me away from the blog and unfortunately even out of SL...i know **gasp** LOL. It has been a difficult week for ole Clint, trying to process all of the mistakes that were made, the trust that was broken and how to put it all behind me. I really want to thank all of the people for the kind messages and concerns....you are all such awesome friends and I love you dearly. I have been spending a lot of time working on my photography and loosing myself in how to make beautiful things instead of the ugly mess that continues to swirl around me. I am trying really hard to ignore the rumors and accusations that are being said....but if you know me..I really don't think that I need respond to them. In fact, I won't. Thanks again everyone and I will see you on the dance floor. Here's a hint...i will be the one damn near naked ....snicker. Hugggs
