  • In regards to...(RIP, Dreams)




    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?

  • A Spoonful of Reality




    Several days ago, I wrote a blog. It wasn't a terribly good blog. In fact, it took about 15 minutes to write. I started writing it because I was frustrated with someone on Xanga. The original blog was supposed to be a scathing tantrum against playing with people's hearts and emotions; but it turned into 7 more general (not to mention more gentle) rules.

    It had no real depth, meaning or attachment to my (or any of your) lives. However, it got more traffic than I've seen since the Miss Xangamerica contest. Why is that, I asked myself. Well the answer is as plain as the nose on my (very Hungarian) face. And that's pretty obvious, I might add. (I like it though, so it's all good ). Alright. What were we talking about? Oh yes.

    The irrelevance of Xanga to our daily lives.

    Hold a minute before you crucify me.
    I too, love Xanga. I do. I love writing and blogging, and I've met a lot of really awesome-seeming people on here. I love reading about your experiences, and learning from them. They open my eyes to see the world through someone else's eyes. For you guys out there, I've learned a lot about how the male species works from reading your thoughts. Girls? I better know how to communicate with girls that I might never understand otherwise, had I not read your take on life and the issues you deal with. We deal in everything here.

    Annoying co-workers? Check. Advise on How to Run the Country for the future when I'm president? Check. A partner in misery? Check. Thought/photo inspiration? Check. Surviving British trains? Check.

    As I have just proved to you, Xanga has it all.



    But Xanga isn't all.


    It's a tool, not a life.




    Things are sad when a meta-blog receives more traffic/readers than a heart-felt blog about a real-world issue.

  • 7 Basic Rules(or: GROW UP ALREADY PEOPLE!!!)





    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)

  • If Today was your Last Day....

     

     

    I woke up this morning and dragged myself out of bed thinking....

    'One more day'...

     

    We all have one more day, today. Maybe it's our last today. Maybe we'll never have another today again.

     

     

    If you knew that today was your last day, what would you do?

     

     

     

     

    I'll repost this a couple times as answer come in.

    Ahaha, I just finished a post, I just need return some comments and then I'll post it. :P btw, I was only pushing my left bicep in the picture. The rest of the reason my arms look so big is the angle. I can only bench 120 on an incline and 140 flat, and curl 47 (single hand), so they really aren't t
