You know this mess here at Xanga is causing me to pull out my hair and I don't have hair left to spare.  It's interesting how I didn't think anything was wrong with the way the site was performing but apparently it needed to be made new and improved.  Well since the updates, the site has been horrible.  Nothing seems to work and when it does it is like I am using a dial-up modem.  I am getting a vision of what truly powers Xanga.  It's a hamster running on one of those wheels in an office in New York.

I did have a dream about Xanga last night.  It was something like one of those meet-ups I keep hearing about.  I was there and there were about 4 other Xangans there and one of them was you.  It was really good to see you at our meet-up.  Of course the odd thing about the meet-up was that everyone was naked.  I guess the meaning behind the dream was that away from our computers we are exposed for the entire world to see.  That was my initial interpretation.  My secondary interpretation was that a lot of us Xangans are horny devils.  Oh and since I saw you naked in my dream and because I have strange abilities with my dreams, I advise you to get that thing on your back checked out.

Last night I also had a dream where I was an insomniac.

I was reading a story today about other people's struggles with the US Census.  I've had my own and if you paid attention, you would have laughed or cringed.  Anyway one story involved a worker who knocked on a door and no one answered so she went to the neighbor's house.  The person had pretended to be gone jumped out of his house pointing a shotgun at the Census worker.  That was in Minnesota in the town that is the World Capital of Spam...the meat.  The other story about the Census was a guy talking about how one of his co-workers had a mentally challenged 30 year old son that stayed at home during the day.  He and his wife would call their son throughout the day to check on him.  This one particular day the guy telling the story said that his co-worker called the son and the son said that he caught a troll and locked him in a closet.  He had his wife call and the son said the same thing so the guy drove home.  He got to the door and the son greeted him and took him to the closet where he trapped the troll.  He opened the door and there in the corner was a census worker who also happened to be a little person.  I don't know why but this story made me laugh.

When I'm alone, I'm the smartest person in the room.

Here's your weekly dose of motivation:

Remember last week when I made a list of things that I'd be the only Xangan to do?  Well I have some more.
I'm the only Xangan who'll...
                                        motorboat your personality
                                        look you in the eyes during a whoopee making session
                                        talk your dad into letting you date me
                                        leave the fan on in the bathroom so your nose isn't offended
                                        admit his life mission is to get blown like a Nintendo cartridge
                                        won't draw graffiti on you when you pass out
                                        use Nair for you
                                        hold your hand at a biker bar

Hopefully Xanga gets better overnight otherwise the revolt begins.  First, I take wikipedia and then the world.

Wow...does Xanga suck today or what?  Just when I think it's getting better, it gets worse.  I am able to see photos on my page but not on some others but once I am able to see photos on other pages I can't see them on mine.  Oh and the photo uploader doesn't work.  I guess if upgrading causes us to experience all these problems, why upgrade at all?

This first one is a mash-up of three songs: "Walk this Way" by Run-DMC, "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin, and "Sex Machine" by James Brown.  So the "Walk this Way" portion is just the drum beat which was Run-DMC's addition to the song and not from Aerosmith.  I really like this mash-up mostly because I love to get down to James Brown. 

This mash-up is "Nookie" by Limp Bizkit mashed with "Fireflies" by Owl City.  I have just recently gotten into Owl City so I really like this one.  Oh and I mention all of Xanga's problems, I wonder what the most popular Xangan, Fred Durst, would think of all this nonsense...oh well, it's been 2 years.  How about that for a marketing strategy?  Get someone famous to blog here to increase traffic.

This is the WTF mash-up of the week.  It combines the vocals of "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J and mashes them with the music of "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners.  Many times when a DJ makes a mash-up they combine the titles of the song to make one snappy title.  Like when Freelance Hellraiser combined "Genie in a Bottle" by Xtina and "Last Nite" by The Strokes, he called it "A Stroke of Genius".  So what do we call this mash-up?  Mama Said Come on Eileen?  Come on Mama?  Knock Out Eileen?  Perverted Mash-up Title #69?  Every time I hear "Mama Said Knock You Out" it takes me back to the 1998 state championship football game for division 3 private schools.  We listened to that in the locker room and were jumping around like mad men.  I wish it would have worked so all y'all could be kissing my championship ring right about now.

Carl Winslow is more punk rock than Hot Topic.

This is more punk rock than Hot Topic.

I shop there quite frequently because the only way I can get it is if I pay for it.

Have a great day and don't let the Xanga bugs get you too down.
