Hrmmmmm. If Xanga wants to keep up with the Jones' they need to at least go mobile. An app would be nice.

Try to harness your volatile energies at this time. You could receive upsetting news or face conflict pertaining to your finances, health, real estate, travel, business, or legal matters; it will be critical for you not to lash out simply for the sake of releasing your emotions. You may need to rely on your wits, your sharp perception, and your ability to negotiate or mediate if you want to vindicate, defend, protect, or avenge your position. This could be a trial or test of your integrity, so don't reveal yourself as an "angry young woman." Diplomacy may be what is called for in this situation, and even if you are accustomed to handling your business, or thumbing your nose at the status quo, you may need to bite your tongue and call upon some professional assistance. Remember to keep the sarcasm to a minimum, for this can't help to clear the air. You may want to consider the purpose of any interest you have in finance, business, or legal matters.

You know what? Xanga is like re-visiting a bar or dance club that I used to frequent. 

I had fun and good memories of the experiences I had (shared) and people I met here.  I came back recalling how cool it was and how I felt I knew the place.  It's still somewhat cool - to a whole new crowd.  I still know the place and there are still a few "regulars" hanging out that I see but the place is different to me now.

I sit back and observe the patrons and I think, wow, these kids are hip and trendy.  Look at how popular they are.  Look at how invincible and steadfast they are in their beliefs.  Look at how they all think they can save the world.  Hahaha, look at young and naive they are.  And look at me... once... once upon a time, I was like that. LOL Yup, both at a bar and on Xanga.

It's funny re-reading my old posts.  Yeah, I cringe while reading a good portion of them - they are the rantings and ravings of a girl and her opinions of life.  The poor puncuation and grammar even! :p But those were my thoughts as filtered (or not filtered) from my brain to the keyboard.  It's interesting how passionate I seemed.  Or maybe it was because I didn't care what people thought of my views... or just naive.

Since Facebook, there has been a wealth of concern over privacy.  Xanga provided a pretty good deal of anonymity.  I noticed the last time posted an entry here, there was a feature to link it to FB.  I was like, well hey now, that's cool! But then, I thought, there's a reason why I don't use the Notes section in FB to blog: Privacy.  Since FB, I've been taking a second look at what I post and say.  I have some thoughts on the Immigration Law and the Oil Spill but is it better to keep the peace - and keep my mouth shut?  Or should I have the same notion that I once had that voicing my opinion would actually make a change in the world? Wow. I sound jaded.  Sad, but true.  Freedom of speech? Not really. Not if you have a brain.  "What you say or do can be used against you..." I've been rather quiet on FB.

Maybe it's because I'm growing up?  Haha, at my age you would think I should be already... and while having a few too much drinks and getting up on that bar to dance sounds like something fun to do again, I probably won't.
