Nu Vibez and Roleplay Guide Magazine - January 2014 | Page 4

RIGHT NOW!
Since coming to SL, I have
developed a New Year's
tradi on of remembering the
two people most responsible
for me being here on this grid.
Both of these amazing friends
are very dear to me and I can
s ll hear them both saying,
"you have to check out Second
Life". They tried mul ple
mes to convince me it was
perfect for my innova ve
goals in music, films, fashion
and more.
Finally in 2006 I decided to
pop in and see what all the
fuss was about. Well sadly one
of my two special friends had
lost her ba le with cancer by
then and she never got to see
me here. The second has since
moved on to other pursuits
and we never crossed paths
here either. Thinking about
what could have been had I
not procras nated coming
here makes me sad even to
this day. However, the lesson I
take from that missed
opportunity has become my
mantra of "Don't Put Off Till
Tomorrow What You Can Do
Today" and if you have regrets
about missed opportuni es,
that mantra may be yours too.
2014 is the year to just do it,
but do what you ask? Do what
you know you have always
wanted to do and needed to
do. Let 2014 be your "Field of
Dreams." Remember if you at
least start to do it now, that
which you want as an

outcome can finally come to
you. For some, it's finally
keeping that New Years'
resolu on or star ng that new
business venture even though
there are no guarantees it will
be a success. For others it
could be forgiving someone
and rebuilding a lost
rela onship. Whatever that
unfulfilled purpose may be;
this is the me act.
Speaking of ac ng on things
right now, we knew that 2014
called for expansion of the
work we started here at Nu
Vibez Magazine some me
ago. Contributors have come
and gone and staffers have
been promoted to new
posi ons. These changes have
freed me to prac ce what I
have been preaching in the
paragraphs above and will
make th e b est year o u r
ambi ous publica on as has
ever seen. Let me share the
two most important changes
that promise to make 2014
the year Nu Vibez has been
working toward since its
incep on.
First, Nani Xue is now the
publisher of the Nu Vibez
Magazine (NVM). If you know
me, then you have probably
met Nani. If a company can
have a soul, she has been that
for this company and more for
quite some me now. Having
her in the publisher's chair lets
me know NVM will maintain

the ideas and prac ces we
have both come to hold dear.
Next, Filipa Thespian is the
new Editor-in-Chief. Filipa, or
Pip as I call her, is a talent I
have wanted on this project
for quite some me. Her
reless and excep onal work
as the art director at BOSL
Magazine (2009-2011), along
with the crea on of her own
Roleplay Guide Magazine,
have yet to be surpassed in my
opinion. With Pip in charge, all
systems are go and expect
nothing less than the best.
Finally in this first issue of the
New Year, we have thrown in
everything including the
kitchen sink. From how the
current SL TOS (Terms Of
Service Agreement) impacts
us all, to hand job robots being
created in Japan to enhance
virtual interac on while using
avatars. Oh and did I men on
an exclusive interview with
SL's pioneer in the avatar sex
i n d u s t r y , M r. S t r o k e r
Serpen ne himself?
So, as I have said in issue a er
issue, while some things
change, some things stay the
same...readers, strap
yourselves in cause Kansas is
going bye bye.
Happy 2014,
