Who is Curtis Hart

Even though my wife and I aren't together any more, there is one thing we agree on whole-heartedly: Our kids ROCK! Thats right, Cassidy, Asher, and Brennen are the most awesometastic kids in the universe and are very much loved by not only their parents, but a huge host of others as well.

Being a daddy is one tough gig, let me tell you that right now, but it is so worth it. My kids are my soul and I want them to be raised right, which is one of the reasons Kristen is homeschooling them. I get to play my part during the summer, which is when they are in my care. We do a lot of yard work together and help the grandparents feed the birds and maintain not only the bird feeders, but the garden as well. Then we go inside and sit down and read. Our current book is The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. We will eventually get into the rest of the Lord of the Rings series, mainly so that I can show my boys how to be a Rider of Rohan. I have always identified with those guys and I want my boys to be good horse riding knights!

As you may (or may not) know, I am a resident of Second Life. "But dude, what is Second Life?" you ask. Well, Second Life is a 3D online virtual world created by its users. Inside Second Life (we call it "In World") there are a lot of things to do. You can visit virtual reproductions of historic places like the Louvre. You can shop at thousands of user owned stores. You can meet hundred, if not thousands of people. There are dance clubs, bars, beaches, and even cruises. You can participate in the Second Life CSI: New York area to solve murders. There are book readings from famous authors such as William Gibson. There are even live music events like concerts and festivals.

All of this and you create your own avatar and dress him or her however you want. You can create your own content as well. Make your own clothing, furniture, or even your own home. The possibilities are endless. You can even buy your own land, open your own store, and make money... Yes, REAL money. You can cash in Lindens (the monetary unit in SL) for real money. You can, in theory, live in world without money, but you'll have no house or land and you wont be able to buy anything. There are TONS of freebies out there though. I lived the first couple of months on the freebies I got from the different areas I hung around in.

There are basically two types of membership, FREE and PAID. With a free membership, you get to enjoy just about everything Second Life has to offer. You can still purchase Lindens with a free account and you can still customize your avatar. With a paid membership (you can pay monthly, quarterly, or yearly) you get a weekly stipend of $L300 (or 300 Lindens) and the ability to own your own land.

Check out THIS LINK to join up. Yes, if you sign up via this link, I will get $L2000 (2000 Linden dollars), but only if you sign up as a paid member. The beauty of it is that if you do become a paid member, you will get your own referral link as well. That means that you can get $L2000 when people you refer sign up as a paid member.

Make sure if you sign up (whether free or paid) that you send an IM to Augustus Dayafter, that's me. I would be happy as a lark to show you around and even hand over some free loot!

If you are already a Second Lifer, drop by Seraph Enterprises in Caledon Brigadoon and say hello, I love to chat.
