    Well it looks like Xanga cured itself of the hiccup that I was experiencing the other day.  Maybe the Xanga Team was actually working on this site.  I also thought it may have been because I logged into Xanga on my PS3 but that didn't make sense since they are on the same ISP.  Anyway, I hope it's resolved and Xanga starts improving.

    10 of these facts are actually true.

    -There are currently five different Wizard of Oz TV shows in development.

    -Smoking destroys a protein in your body called elastin and when lost this causes breasts to sag

    -The lead role for the movie "Gandhi" originally was offered to Burt Reynolds.

    -Pope Francis has a master's degree in chemistry.

    -Squirrels are a very nice animal.  If they find an abandoned squirrel baby they will adopt it if they notice the parents have not come back for it.

    -The Don Corleone role in the movie "The Godfather" originally was going to be played by Andy Griffith.

    -If you notify the flight attendant that it's your birthday, most airlines will let you exit the plane on the inflatable slide.

    -In TV commercials, the ice cream you see is actually mashed potatoes and the milk is white glue.

    -The laugh tracks you hear on TV were recorded in the 1950's, so most of the people you hear chuckling are dead.

    -Square bologna (to fit properly on square bread) has failed each time that Oscar Mayer has test-marketed it.  Round bread (to fit properly with round bologna) has succeeded each time it has been test-marketed, but the difficulty and expense in baking a round loaf of bread makes it unprofitable for bakeries.

    -Johnny Depp plans on having his cremated remains poured into a flask of whiskey, and requests everyone at his funeral to take a sip.

  • Midnight Confessions

    confessional-clift

    -I currently have a boner

    -I was a judge for a Xanga erotica contest.  I bought a vibrator to give if the winner was female.  I didn't get to voice this to the person running the contest so I now have a vibrator sitting in my room.

    -I want to host the first ever Xanga 2.0 contest and call it "Who Wants a Vibrator" but without recs it's sort of stupid.

    -I thought I was going to die last night.  I lost a lot of blood last night and I will spare you the graphic details but I collapsed because I didn't have any strength.

    -I wish I had one of those old lady "help I've fallen and can't get up" necklaces

    -I have had numerous crushes on Xangans including the current but I am too chicken to make my feelings known because of a negative experience.

    -My eyes teared up with joy when I saw my Xanga was on The Huffington Post and CNN.

    -I've always felt myself to be a theologian and know more about the Bible than a lot of the people who consider themselves Christians and wrote for Revelife.  I think that is the sin of pride.

    -I have to admit that I enjoy watching Man vs. Food.  I admit that I have sort of a schadenfreude fascination with it because this is a show where a man goes around the United States partaking of eating competitions where he doesn’t finish all the food and then this program is broadcast to regions where people are severely malnourished.

    -I don't consider myself to be tall.

    -I had chicken pox three times

    -I had so many of these little confessions to make but I lost them all because I've had at least 10 concussions in my life.  The most recent was a couple weeks ago.  I for some reason misjudged the height of my bathroom door(maybe because I was wearing work boots) and I hit my head on the top and the door frame and I basically knocked myself silly.

    -I've been electrocuted 3 times.  I had different side-effects each time.  After the first time my hair stood on end for about 5 hours and made me drool quite a bit.  The second time left me with an irregular heartbeat that basically went away after I did some running around.  I also had a large red welt across my chest where I fell on the electric fence.  The last time made my shirt melt, I lost hair on my hands, my toes had burns, and I ejaculated sparks.

    -I've been called the n-word at least four times in my life.

    -I chew my fingernails.
