Lyric's Bio:
Interested in music at a very young age, Lyric started playing guitar and organ by ear at 6 years old. She would hear something she liked on the radio and then sit down with her guitar or at the keyboard and figure out how to play it. She eventually moved on to piano...and even learned to play the accordian.
As a teen, she formed an all girl band (it was the 80s!) named Myth, and performed for friends and family when she could. Myth also entered a battle of the bands contest in their school and took 3rd place. Lyric did take guitar and piano lessons, but stubbornly would not learn to read music. She insisted on doing it by ear, because part of her process was to hear a piece, sound it out on keys or guitar, and then master playing it. Hindsight tells her, she should have learned to read music!
Lyric's love of music never waned, but sometimes life gets in the way and you end up doing what you have to do, not what you want to do. Having lost a step-child to a terminal illness, and going through various other bumps and turns along the way, she put down her guitar and stood up from the keys for several years.
With the advent of online karaoke sites, Lyric slowly started bringing music back in to her life a couple of years ago. She realized that the music hadn't stopped playing all those years...it had just been on mute for awhile. Coming back to her love of music has been a process...as is everything in life.
Thankfully, she was introduced to Second Life by a musician friend who performs here. Listening to all the talented and passionate people performing in SL and meeting others who appreciate and are moved by it all lit a fire in her. She loves being a part of this community of artists. It feeds her soul in a way she can only express by singing for you as often as she can.
Lyric will sing you the songs you forgot you loved. Bringing you through a roller coaster of emotions...love, hate, lust, angst, rebellion....rock n' roll! An eclectic mix of artists and genres run through her shows. Maybe even a few special SL guest artist tracks and duets will sneak in there now and then.
Although Lyric is concentrating on singing and bringing you your favorite tunes vocally right now, she has picked up her guitar again, and hopes to add some live music to her shows in the future.
Stay tuned! More to come!

My name is Lindsay and I live in this little yet full of life.. chocolatilicious country named Belgium. Music is a huge part of who I am and I thank each and every one of you who comes by and listens to my songs. music is the language of the soul.. it heals.. it comforts you.. it does everything..without music.. I wouldn't know how to express my emotions..and the world would be a boring and quiet place to be in..I love all kinds of music..and even tho I cant sing as good as I would love.. I wont ever stop.!

The Beatles-Yesterday

2010-11-22T22:20:00.000-08:00

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

WOW! 1000+ HITS (Updated)

2010-11-22T01:55:00.000-08:00

It's Been forever and a day since i last posted something. A lot has happened since my katy perry post. D: Where to start?.... hmm well I have a wonderful life in secondlife with great close friends and family (pogo Xue in game ID). We are still running Illusions club,still selling bunnies/bunny nests and just recently started in horse sales. Had a baby girl named Sasha with my wife Suga :) and are looking at adoption sometime in the near future. I brought real life affiliate programs into sl.

Think I should have these in order from digital to real life.
So.. more digital news. I am working with BOINC again. I let my pc process data for a few organizations, ranging from searching for aliens with S.E.T.I. to helping break down transmitted radio signals back in 1942 that were "broken." I pray that what we look for would improve this world.
I dj at my internet radio station once in awhile. That is not that active due to my laptop needing to be fixed. And the website being buggy.

And for real life, I am back in school again. I think I am about halfway down with it taking 3 classes. Looking at going to ECPI technology school after I pass these classes. I am really looking forward to those classes.

2 months ago my scooter broke down. It stopped working for me on the way to school. It happened just after I filled up with gas at the Handee Hugo, at the corner of capital blvd and spring forest in Raleigh. (think they water down that lovely bp gas they use) Pushed it about 4 miles to a mechanics shop. The worked on it but didn't fix anything. They were clueless. (but very nice to try to help).
Needless to say I missed my classes that weekend. :( After that I pushed it another 7 miles till a nice man offered to help me. Let me keep it in his garage over night and drove me home. 11 miles of pushing the scooter in 24 hours was enough for me. D:
He was nice enough to help me work on the scooter the next day. We tried everything from draining the water from the gas tank to cleaning out the carburetor, all the time charging the battery. Few times it seemed like we were making progress. Eventually we ran out of options and got it running somewhat. I managed to get it about a mile from his house and it stopped working again. Time to push it home....
Got it home,pushed it about 6 miles or so. And took a very painful sleep.
Over a month later only progress made is having changed the battery with a new one. It's still not starting.

Katy Perry Chased Me In her Demonic Form

2010-04-24T02:36:00.001-07:00

It all started in an office building like this one pictured, I was dreaming of course. Nothing this bizarre ever happens to me. Nor do I like thinking of Katy Perry.
so it starts out, I am in an office building and there is some business meeting or social gathering blah
there is a guy that looks like he would be on american idol and he won the contest metro sexual any way his prize was a kiss from katy perry....I was not amused at this point in my dream any way , he takes it too far and instead of a kiss on the cheek he forces her to kiss on the lips then starts dancing all over her. taking it too far acting like an ass. every one laughed at her. then casually the party dwindled away and it was just the 3 of us.the guy,katy and myself. so i start heading out also down a hallway to the elevator. I get like half way down the hall and I hear katy tell him to wait up i sort of glance over my shoulder and see him and her talking. and as turn my head I hear him scream.
I look and see her transforming into a grim reaper/scream/the ring girl type thing.I was not going to wait around for this lol I go ahead and run to the elevator and hit the close button and then floor 1 button. just in time to get to safety. he is screaming pls let me in blah. all the while she is transforming and chasing us the theme from terminator is playing

Suddenly I awaken, get an urge to look out my bedroom window and there it is staring at me... A little girl black cat, it walks in a perfect path in front of my door. And is followed by an older male black cat.

Happy Easter

2010-04-04T04:59:00.000-07:00

Hope this Easter treats you nicely. And remember the reason for celebrating it

lyrics from nine inch nails-zero sum

they're starting to open up the sky

they're starting to reach down through

and it feels like we're living in that split-second

of a car crash

and time is slowing down

and if we only had a little more time

then this time

is all we have

do you remember the time we

and all the times we

and should have

and were going to

i know

and i know you remember

how we could justify it all

and we knew better

in our hearts we knew better

and we told ourselves it didn't matter

and we chose to continue

and none of that matters anymore

in the hour of our twilight

and soon it will be all said and done

and we will all be back together as one

if we will continue at all

shame on us

doomed from the start

may god have mercy

on our dirty little hearts

shame on us

for all we have done

and all we ever were

just zeros and ones

and you never get away

and you never get to take the easy way

and all of this is a consequence

brought on by our own hand

if you believe in that sort of thing

and did you ever really find

when you closed your eyes

any place that was still

and at peace

and i guess i just wanted to tell you

as the lights start to fade

that you are the reason

that i am not afraid

and i guess i just wanted to mention

as the heavens will fall

we will be together soon if we

will be anything at all

shame on us

doomed from the start

may god have mercy

on our dirty little hearts

shame on us

for all we have done

and all we ever were

just zeros and ones

shame on us (shame on us)

we knew from the start

may god have mercy

on our dirty little hearts

shame on us (shame on us)

for all we have done

and all we ever were

just zeros and ones

took some time off for the holidays

2010-01-04T21:07:00.000-08:00

Had a nice x-mas and new years, and I'm hoping whoever reads this had the same. Been more joyful this year then previous years. Maybe because I got less troubles now or maybe I deal with them better. I spent my holiday taking pictures and video's and too much eating,and drinking sake.
So I end this post with a toast to being unemployed for half a year.... Here's to all you in Raleigh and surrounding area's that wouldn't even give a call to schedule an interview.

my dream about an anole

2009-12-12T19:16:00.000-08:00

it was me on a different planet and there were a type of alien invaders fighting our troups up in space. i was on the ground. think i was a peace keeper of something
then there was like a vulture nest untop of the base i was in charge of, and the ground kept shakin and the nest was in danger
so i climbed up there to move the nest and the mother was away and the egg fell to the ground and barely opened so i felt horrible
so i did what i could to move the nest to a better place up top the base and gave the mother the opened egg. the little guy actually survived and thrived
then after that there was like a commons area that was underneath the place were i had moved the nest and there was a little anole trapped. so I rescued her as well. and some how she fell in love with me or fell in love with my charity to the small when there were bigger more important worries to tend to.
so apparently when an anole falls in love with a person they give up 1 year of their life to send their life energy which is turned to luck for us
after that my buddy in the base introduced me to a nice lady that fell in love with me at first site. then my buddy tried to close the door on me and her so we could be alone.
but i turned my back on her and went after him to tell him that it wasnt proper to rush things like that
and the anole saw my selfish act and fell in love with me again
and gave up another year of her life for me
so feeling responsible for the small anole i decided to leave it all behind and take care of her up in the mountains
soon after she shape shifted into a princess

:/ very spiritual dream but so so weird

Warning Might Make you cry

2009-12-09T03:01:00.000-08:00

My name's Sarah and this is my story.
I have lived in a small town in Oregon all my life. Born here, raised here and will probably die in this blasted town, but it's my home, so I don't mind.

My life, well is dim; probably from all of the events that have happened in the course of these eighteen years. Not all events were bad, but most, well, most are terrifying and I hope no one has to endure some of the things that I have.

I will not give up at life, even with these events. I will not take the easy way out and end it here.
I want to live; to prevent these things from happening to people in the future.

***

Both of my parents were alcoholics basically all of my life. I didn't have really a childhood.
It flashed from infancy to adulthood in a blink of an eye. Scary, really, how that works, isn't it?
Sixth grade, was probably, the worst year of my entire life.
That's when everything jumped.

My body and mind didn't bloom like others, Sure I got all the same things girls did in middle school. It jumped. Jumped into a world of sorrow and pain; a world that I could only see my future dim, not brighten.

But, as all things go, everything happens for a reason and I cannot erase my past, although I want to so dearly.

Tears and shakiness.

Well, after I graduated, I moved to Maryland with my boyfriend. It was indeed, a drastic move but I had to get away from my mother's drunken stance in my life. I just wish I could have done the same with my brother.

I will admit, I love him, my now exboyfriend. However, it was a fool's love, one that ended in misery and grief. Things went well the first couple months though he did have an anger problem, I taught myself to put up with it. I was so in love with him, I had no idea that he was controlling my life and taking me away from my family.About three and a half months after I moved to Maryland, things got a little rocky; both on the home front and in Maryland.

My mother's pathetic drinking problem had escalated into something...bad is the only way I can put it. She was now drinking two or more gallons of whiskey a day and her smoking had escalated greatly.

I was talking to my little brother on the xbox, and mom was drinking.
She wasn't tipsy. She wasn't drunk. She'd gone psycho. All of a sudden, his mic went silent; he turned his off so I couldn't hear what he was saying.So I called to him a couple times. There wasn't an answer, I started to panic, knowing mom was drinking.Then the mic clicked on and he screamed into the mic,
"SARAH, CALL THE POLICE!"
The mic went silent.
I panicked. I had no idea what to do.

My ex was sitting next to me on the couch; he heard the whole thing. He didn't care about what happened.Or fear of what maybe happening. He didn't care about me or my life, in anyway. So, I did indeed called 911 because I had no idea what else to do. I was in Maryland and my brother in Oregon so, not much as you could imagine.

But I called and they patched me to the police in that small town in Oregon and the city police patched me to the Tribe. The police were there about two minutes after my call had reached tribal.

Turns out, that my mother had gone into a drunken rage and punched my little brother and pushed him over a chair, almost breaking his shin. He called her selfish. But that's what she is.

I have honestly, no idea why people run from who they are or candy-coat the truth. Because, deep down, they always know that they are the nasty, rude, selfish people they are hiding and they know, no matter what, that they will always be that person. She was trying to take everything from us and leave us on the streets with nothing. I don't know what that is to you, but to me, that is a big, nasty bowl of selfish.

And to do that to your kids?

The day after that, I was talking to my ex and he told me that he had pretending for the past three months or so and that he didn't break up with me because he didn't want to hurt my feelings. If he would have told me, I would have been there in Oregon, and I could have stopped mother's druken, psychotic rage. I could have been there. But no, I was wasting my time in Maryland, helpless. I didn't do much for about a week after that. Including eating and drinking anything. I didn't eat or drink. Because I was so depressed. I just laid in my bed and watched the ceiling. Finally, the ex's mom noticed and made me eat. I was so hungry that I couldn't stand. I hadn't eaten in so long, my stomach couldn't produce enough acid to break down the food that I ate so I threw it up. I was at the toilet, throwing up a lot. And I could constantly drink water and still be dehydrated.

I know now, what true depression is. And all of you people out there, pretending you are depressed, cutting your wrists, are not.

Because in my experience, you don't want to do anything. You just want to fade.
That's what depression is.

armored movie

2009-12-08T08:12:00.000-08:00

got another sneak peak early showing of a movie. went to see armored a few nights ago. nice action movie. got stuck behind a wall in the theater so I had to sit literally on the edge of my seat to see the movie. was pretty good for an action movie. had a nice time there. and watched a guy get popcorn and pepsi dumped on him from the guy behind him :D I think that was the best part of the movie.

airport pics

2009-12-08T06:07:00.001-08:00

I visit this airport frequently. We have alot of history together.

years ago I flew to florida to go to disneyland from a contest I won. 4 tickets for a week there. won them from crabtree mall.
took a picnic at the observation park with my mother and best friend lawrence powell.
imported my ex fiance cherish from london town <3
returned cherish to london town cause her visa expired. saddest day of my life! ); we broke up a few months after she went back but thats another story for another time.
felt horrible about being apart from her and wanted to be closer to her. not being able to get my shit together and get my ass over there with her. I took a part time job at the airport, working as a bus driver, few days after receiving the job they changed me from driver to a parker. Job didn't last long as they had massive lay-offs about 1 month after they hired me.
now I live right up the street from the airport and go there for my lunch,relaxing and racing around on my scooter. I like to watch the planes land and take off. maybe someday I will be on one of them leaving this state or country. been a dream of mine for a long time.

josh and me

2009-12-06T06:48:00.001-08:00

A fitting song to end his stay in raleigh, nc.

the day before his bday, when scheduled to return to new jersey from staying here in nc in a storage room he gets in a car accident. Right before the corner of glenwood ave. and lynn rd.
even after the accident he still smiles. happy knowing that he is returning eventually to new jersey. we got rear-ended by a F-150 going to my apartment from his little 1 room storage unit at u-haul. He has been staying there for 5 months since we lost our old apartment due to my inability to know who not to trust. (tabbi)

all we can do is shake our heads in disbelief at this last year and a half while he was down here with me. most every experience both of us have head is about beyond belief. its been one rediculous thing after another.

nice encounter while doing laundry

2009-12-01T12:32:00.000-08:00

well I been unemployed for about 6 months now and been very patient so far during this whole ordeal. Traveled to Durham for a few appointments and found a nice laundromat along the way. Luckily I had my dirty laundry with me, so I stopped in and although Durham is in the news everyday for crime(murders and burglary) I met the nicest man there. I believe he was from India or somewhere near there. He actually suggested I save on my laundry bill by paying to use the new washers and he would include the drying for free. So I got all set up and started the wash.

To my surprise they had working arcade games. Of course I spent the quarter in the neogeo arcade machine and played a great game called king of the monsters. I used to play this as a kid, so it brought back alot of found memories. I played as Beetle Mania and made it through a few levels easily. Although Astro Guy kicked my butt. :P

after playing my game I talked with the man some and he told me about a great place to work at, he gave me his information and said he would be a great reference for me. him having worked there some years ago. So I took all the information on the company and finished my laundry. Irregardless if I get the job or not I think I will take the extra trip to do my laundry in his place. One good turn deserves another!

Happy thanksgiving everyone

2009-11-26T21:32:00.000-08:00

I want every one to have a great t-day.
And to those celebrating by them selves. I Would remind you that your not the only one.
Please don't let your wants and desires stand between you being thankful to God for the blessings he has given you.

an old friend of mine :>

2009-11-18T18:54:00.000-08:00

This man is a wonderful friend of mine. I haven't seen him in a few years but I owe him quite a lot. He helped me in my travels. He is a builder and in this video he shows off the coffin he has built for himself.
