My first blog

Hi and welcome visitor !!!

This is my very first blog....and it is a little exciting to see how it will look like once I publish it :-)

If you have managed to find these pages, you probably have met either me or some of my friends in SL. The purpose of these blogs is to share my ideas or and reflections about life in SL, RL (or meatspace as many call it), philosophy, politics....topics that interest me. The idea is to create here be a public diary of my thoughts and impressions. My hope is that some day the blogs might amuse or in the best case even inspire others to spend time wondering the same things I'm interested in.

Well... Who am I, what is my background?
In order to find out that really I think you would need to meet me in SL. Like all of us, I have some context, experiences, principles, character...that influence my thinking. In order to give away something I would say that I am a

Philosophy discussion addict
- I have hung out in various philosophy discussion forums in the internet for almost 10 years. I have tried to quit several times since it's so time consuming but no success so far....I think I may be hooked for life =)

Feminist
- But what does "feminist" mean? After years of fruitless debating in philosophy forums with all sorts of sophists, who say "you can't properly define feminism", I state that the facts still remain: Despite of the equality ethos of the new legislation in most western countries during the last 20-30 years, the patriarchal attitudes are still the norm in many ways. And most of the women in the world live in societies where they never get even close to same chances as men do. But rather than blaming I would like to move forward....to understand and change the attitudes that fundamentally exist between our ears.

American roots music fan
- I got into this, when some of my friends asked me to accompany their group with a guitar....but more about that somewhere else

ooohh I run out of time now....but I continue with the actual blogs :-)
Just one more thing: English is not my native language, so I hope you can excuse the many mistakes ....and clumsy expressions =)

Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you later!
