Rockin' In The Free World

15.07.2008 - Am Butterfly Beach lassen wir es heute rocken.

Richi und Tinkerbelle veranstalten den Best Rockstar Contest.

MaryAnn hat unser Auto gut eingeparkt.

Beide sind wir am Board eingetragen - es kann losgehen.

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes

But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can

Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand

We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Liegt es an der Lava auf der Tanzfläche, dass mir so heiss ist?

Noch ein paar Riffs auf der Gitarre - und der erste Gewinn bei einem Contest ist unser.

Maryann und CeCe teilen sich den ersten Preis. Glückwunsch. *cheer

It's going to take a lot of love to make things work out right.

Wind beneath my wings

14.07.2008 - Ein letztes Foto unseres Shops auf Hently, bevor wir dort räumen. Goldblood Eales hat aufgegeben.

Später sind wir dann zum Tanzen auf Alter Ego im Butterfly Club.

Measuring a summer's day
I only find it slips away to grey

The hours they bring me pain
Tangerine Tangerine

Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen

And now a thousand years between.
Thinking how it used to be

Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?

Später sind wir noch auf Long Beach zum Konzert.

Suzen JueL a.k.a. JueL Resistance tritt heute auf.

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
While you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
But I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
For you are the wind beneath my wings,
Because you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Kurz vor Mitternacht noch ein Abstecher zum Ryan Beach.

Selbst die Kleinsten finden dort einen Platz auf dem Lucky Chair ;-)

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
So high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
Thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings

Mother ocean, I have heard you call

13.07.2008 - Auf der Sim Spectre läuft die Jagd auf Nessie...

... doch wir arbeiten heute noch - Promotion auf Iseghey.

Und anschliessend auch am Shop auf Apfelland Bora Bora.

Dort können wir das gleich mit der Strandparty verbinden.

DJ Raymantheonce Raymaker legt heute auf.

Und die Musik ist sehr gut. Wunschtitel werden gespielt.

Meine Piratenbraut tanzt sich langsam in Stimmung.

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams

Yes I am a pirate, a few two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arrivin' too late, arrivin' too late

I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', I've got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
Still could manage a smile
Sure takes a while, just takes a while


Mother, mother ocean, after all my years I've found
Occupational hazard being my occupations just not around
I feel like I've drowned, but I'm not gonna frown
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head into town

Wir sind neben dem DJ und seiner Partnerin die letzten Gäste heute :-)

It is when pirates count their booty that they become mere thieves.

The Green Leaves of Summer

12.07.2008 - CarWash läd heute zur Eröffnungsfeier ein.

Dazu gibt es eine Suche nach Coins, einen Contest ...

... sowie jede Menge Linden$ im Sploder.

Ob hier wohl auch Münzen versteckt sind?

Der Geldregen trifft ab und zu auch das Dach.

Während wir in der CarWash-Zentrale beim Tanzen sind...

... fährt draussen die erste Kundin zur Autowäsche vor.

Wahrscheinlich ist auf Besen doch kein Verlass mehr :-)

Das Oxygen hat heute Themenabend - wollen wir uns lächerlich machen?

Zum Best in Green tritt auch die Chefin Mitch Howitt eingefärbt auf.

Ebenfalls ein netter Anblick - aus Irland implementierte Feen.

Irgendwie hat sich meine Kamerasteuerung mal wieder verklemmt.

Dann tragen wir uns heute ein zweites Mal an einem Contestboard ein.

Zu gewinnen gibt es L$ 1000 für das beste Outfit.

Obwohl wir dieses Mal nichts gewinnen, war es den Spass wert :-)

A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'
A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'
A time to be courtin', a girl of your own
The green leaves of summer are callin' me home
