We blame it on everyone, everything-
except ourselves.

Accept yourself, for heaven's sake
and forsake regrets.

Regretfully you part ways with everything
even that one part of you.

Once upon a times are ground in the dust-
it's only the grinds now.

Now each day is a challenge
challenging us to move.

Us has only two options to live (moving)
or to barely living, die.


In Dying we all have a choice.


What's yours?

We toss around words like multi-colored leaves and we don't think twice.
Has anyone paused to think that we are adults? We are adults yet childish fights and petty jealousies pop up all the time. It's enough to alienate people.

Now I know that for some people the internet is all they have. And good for them. But I have friends and work and school and a life and real-world issues to deal with every day. I come on here to have a creative outlet or just get to know all you guys. The last thing I (or any of you) need is more drama.

So I vote we cut the crap. I vote we make a decision as a group of adults with mature, functioning, decision-making brains to leave all of it behind us.



So, in the interest of crap cutting, I came up with a list of rules.

Rule #1:
If you find someone's blog and you don't like what you see, don't read them. Don't go through the trouble of making some scathing, life-ruining comment. Don't put yourself through the frustration of constantly seeing whatever this person is putting up that you don't like. You don't like it. It's your opinion. And YOU are entitled to it(which brings me to #2).

Rule #2:
If you don't like someone, don't tell the world (or all of Xanga, for that matter). You hurt the other person when you do that. And, most likely, if they're not cool enough to be reading my blog and don't know these rules, they'll probably try to tell the world about how much of a jerk you are. Everything you say and/or do has an effect on those around you. It's up to you what effect that is.

Rule #3:
If someone is an absolute jerk to you then defriend, unsubscribe, block them, etc. and be done with it. Is it worth all the drama? Besides, if you whine about it, you'll lose readers. Nobody likes a whiner.

Rule #4:
Buy me coffee. I'm not sure how that fits in, but it's always a good rule of thumb.

Rule #5:
Online relationships rarely work. Just because someone SEEMS so awesome online, doesn't mean they are. (I mean, c'mon, didn't your mothers teach you ANYTHING?!! /sarcasm.

Rule #6:
Sarcasm: the over-rated Xanga tool.
But it works for me, so I use it. Whatever works for you, use. Be you in your blog. Don't try to change your image because that won't work. And besides, the resulting incongruities give me whiplash.



AND last but not least, the.....::drumroll::

XANGA GOLDEN RULE:
(also known as Rule #7 because everyone knows you can't have 6 of something. That's just wrong)


~cut the crap~

Today's News in 5

Yeah, that's right. At least now you don't have to comb through the crap yourself.

Jay: Dave Isn't Mr. Moral America

oh. and you are? I mean c'mon...SOMEone had to say it. It's not like we weren't all thinking it.
You and your cars and your giant chin. (Okay, the chin thing was uncalled for, but I couldn't think of anything else.)

These seven warning signs will let you know if you should be worried.

oh you don't even want to hear what I have to say on this one. Just take my word on it, and try to at least make it to a trash-can before you throw up. Thanks.

 

Ariz. Girl Run Over by Dad Dies

Noor Almaleki, whose father allegedly ran her over because she had become too 'Westernized,' has died.

I think I have nothing further to add. I'm not a "Oh-my-goodness-WHAT-has-happened-to-our-society???" sort of person but this is a "Oh-my-goodness-WHAT-has-happened-to-our-society??!!" sort of scenario, you know?

...makes me sick.

Principle Bans "Freak Dancing"
I wonder why.

Posh Beckham's Skinny Secret

Uh no. That's not a secret...we ALL know that she's skinny. Der.






In conclusion: I'm just happy there were no celebrity dogs captured. Not sure my heart can handle another emotional strain like that. (RIP, mr. fluffy mc-paris hilton, RIP)
