Kind of feels like a property with a house no longer lived in but merely kept as part of an investment portfolio. Still, greetings to any who remain or visit here. 9:47 am 15 Comments April 30, 2015 Love conquers all. 5:26 pm 434 Comments February 28, 2015 In the Good Ole Xanga Daze . . . An update from Biz Stone, aka Genius , on his days with Xanga: Q: Knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently when you were first starting up? A: My first startup was called Xanga.com. When we started that company back in 1999, the company culture started to veer off from what I liked, so I quitinstead of realizing that I could have worked to change the company culture. After I quit I was immediately sorry, I felt like I was on the wrong side of the screen. And since then I’ve become a huge advocate for treating your company culture like a product. If you don’t take charge of it, then something will happen that you don’t have control over. Everything ultimately worked out, but I would advise people [in that position] to work to turn it around. - http://www.entrepreneur.com/video/242995 1:33 pm 3,303 Comments February 21, 2015 Where have I been?! To the egg-shaped, fast-spinning (must be hardboiled) dwarf planet Haumea . But others are saying Ceres is much more exciting. 10:21 am 804 Comments September 23, 2014 Today, Awra Damon, a sexy-powerful CNN correspondent for the Middle East, while talking on CNN about the assault on ISIS, said "Kurdish Turds, I mean, Turkisk Kurds." I leave my TV on all night and heard that subliminally around 4 AM and laughed myself awake for the rest of the day. Bound to be Classic! She, not her verbal indiscretion. 7:58 pm 823 Comments July 2, 2014 Does anyone deny that Xanga (whoever the fuck that is now - John Hiler, the original CEO type) has certainly legally changed his name and every other xangagod has already been assassinated) has ripped us off and continues to lie to us? I didn’ think so. Yeah, I missed a ’t" there. I think that Xanga was sold dirt cheap to Al Qaeda dirt cheap (yes, that’s repetitive) as an esoteric control communications back-channel. I have evidence! Where the fuck is the NSA when you don’t need them?! Calling NSA, yes NSA (keyword, mutherfuukr): Xanga is positioned to remain a post-terrorist, post tri-unislamic conspiracy. I have proof. 100 proof is 50% alcohol. Hook up with me. I am, of course, good for the first round. 8:39 pm 3,416 Comments April 25, 2014 Dream better dreams, good-bye. Sept 3, 2003 - the day 2.0 announced its new "Official 2.0 Launch". Sept 4, 2014 - the day 2.0 disappears forever without any notification to anyone whatsoever. (imagine the voice of FDR...) "A day that will live in infamy for social networking throughout the cyber-eons." Not really. They have already cleared the legal ramifications of the shutdown with their North Korean paralegal online-hired cyber-intern. "Nuke it!" was the decisive Kim Jong Un-ian Orphan Black (cloning) compelling command from a Windows 95 OS workstation sourcing from a 30 minute-leased cyber-kiosk endpoint in Pyongyang. Cool. Some North Korean communication are permitted outbound to the most moribund sectors of the capitalist internet! In any case, that’s a third of a year from now. Far longer than the projected life of a fruit fly (nine days). Did you know it takes at least eighteen days (twice the life of a fruit fly) to make something a habit? - http://www.spring.org.uk/2009/09/how-long-to-form-a-habit.php Eat plenty of fruit daily in the meantime. Make it a habit! But don’t plan to fly this ill-fated 2.0 flight beyond the Sep 4th recording capabilities of an ultimately-doomed, cyber-oceanic, no-longer-cyber-beaconing Davy Jones Locker blackout. Unless you wish me to run real imaginary circles around your disappearance through the ever-confounding meta-oceanic crypts of a real, cyber-popularized cemetery deemed in everlasting multi-dimensional, multi-sensory lore as "Dreamland". "Dream other dreams, and better!" - advised "The Mysterious Stranger", Chapter 11, Mark Twain: http://www.classicreader.com/book/1370/11/ But you: dream better, you deserve, you must, than Mark Twain ever did so imagine. 9:49 pm 950 Comments April 5, 2014 musical chairs I am strapping back in time, exchanging this for that, and falling into possession of the most youthful energy . I am visualizing a game called Musical Chairs. Are you all familiar with it? It’s a game where the players are dispatched walking to music (and why not dancing? why not dancing ?) around a seating of chairs and when the music stops, the players must all grab the nearest seat to avoid elimination. How elimination? It’s arranged by the rules that there is always one less seat than players—and any excess seats are removed from the floor. Hence, there will always be an odd prancer out when the music ends. And that prancer is eliminated. As a child, I utterly hated this game. For me, it was the essence of terrorism: A world where it was imagined that humanity cannot find a plenitude of co-existing niches, but must overflow all boundaries of civility by essentially mandating an ownership-incompatibility, the termination of which was essential to fair continuance of the game. You know: I never won at that game. Never won. At all. Because I totally embraced the anti-terror of non-participation, at least in my heart. As an alibi. To dance away. 10:10 am 1,023 Comments January 4, 2014 released the wind’s in my ears and it’s all that i hear now the voice of love has departed. swoooooooooshing white fressshhhly venting sussurant, sustaining soft whistling sea breezing zephyr its incessant near-sensuous suspiration supplants the sweet nothings of yesterday. some say you can find the ocean held hostage in a conch’s murmur. yet it is in the wind’s whisper i now find you unheld. 12:10 pm 978 Comments December 27, 2013 This is the way... After a 26 year hiatus, i have invested money once again to learn to speak and read Chinese better. Should i ever become an Edward Snowden-type, i could then flee to Beijing! Beer brewed in a bourbon barrel is better than bourbon aged in a bourbon barrel, if you prefer beer. i have been time-traveling and mind-mending with my teenage self. i actually planned to do this in my teenage years at the age at which i have now attained. It’s beautiful when such plans come together. By the way, you can’t buy "the way". i may be making six figures, but i am no where near making Barbie’s six figures (391833) - http://www.cbsnews.com/news/life-size-barbies-shocking-dimensions-photo-would-she-be-anorexic/ . If Barbie with those six figures is considered anorexic, then I with my six figures must be categorized as starving. This is the way Xanga ends This is the way Xanga ends This is the way Xanga ends Not with a bang but a whimper. 11:09 pm 4,189 Comments November 27, 2013 oh DAMN - can’t give Xanga any money any more oH DAMN. I wanted to sign up for another exciting Xanga site but to my frightful dismay, when I went to the "Join In" page - https://xanga.crowdhoster.com/relaunch-xanga - , the "Join In" button was disabled. That might explain why the number of backers has stayed constant at 1,175 for weeks. We are now a closed, gated community. Cozy, isn’t it? On the Xanga Help front, "Eugenia" is the only one left helping; John seems to have disappeared about a month ago. But "Eugenia" has helped about 10 customers (or former customers) in the last week! That’s pretty awesome for a site that is doomed. I wonder if John said, "Eugenia, here’s the couple of thousand bucks left after Xanga bought me my Copper Parachute. Keep ’the promise’ going by for the next year (until the subscriptions expire) by throwing out a Help comment every day or so. Unto the nearly-comatose subscribers that remain, be Xanga’s distant ambulance siren in the night."...
