1. "Plugged up" People

This new feature is pretty neat, because it can get more traffic to your site. Especially if you are not commonly known here in Xangaland. HOWEVER, some of these plugs people have been putting up make me want to reach in to computer with my super ninja powers and drop-kick someone. Now, let me explain myself. Who wants to click a plug with a picture of a person along with " just plain ole' ordinary me. Nothing special." WHAT kind of advertising is that?! I dont know about you, but I actually enjoy reading my xangan's blogs, I dont have time to click on someone who is as just boring as a the clear eyes guy nor would I want to. Come on people get creative. Isnt that something writers are supposed to be good at? Figuring out a way to draw people in?!

2. Reccomend Beggers

Nothing annoys me more than this. If your blog was good enough to be recommended you would not have to ask people to reccomend it. Talk about the abuse of the freakin button!! My goodness!! I dont mean to step on any of my friends' toes by saying this because I do enjoy most the blogs I read that ask fellow Xangan's for a reccommendation. To be honest, I would probably recommend it anyway. But seriously, it makes you look like an arrogant person who wants nothing more than to  **GASP!** make it on the front page!!! Needless to say if I was reading a post and thinking to myself, "wow this is a great piece of work", and at the end of the blog the writer asked for a reccomedation, I WOULDN'T DO IT. ( There are a few exceptions to this I think, i.e. when it is for a charity or good cause of some sort) I dont know why this ercks me so much, but it just does.

3. The "I'm So Awesome" bloggers

I know you know who I am talking about. Those Xangan's that write nothing but sappy stories about their lives that make them look like heroes, or "good" people. You know, it would be different if there were only a few of these stories here and there, because everyone likes to feel warm and gooey inside every once in awhile. But every single post? You have got to be freakin' kidding me. It is so obvious that some, if not all of their stories are BS. I roll my eyes everytime I read these blogs. The co-inka-dink of it all is that most of these bloggers also ask for reccomendations. hmm. WEIRD.

4. Thinspo bloggers

It is SO sexy to look like a skeleton. As a matter of fact it is so hot, that I am going to post naked pictures of aneroxic girls all over my page. I HAVE to be skinny. Must. not. eat. My ribs look great sticking out like this, I don't know what you are talking about. Oh my God I had a cracker today, I am SO fat.--- This is just so sad. It breaks me up inside to see not only the blogs like this but the quantity of blogs like this on Xanga. There are SO many. HELLO look in the FREAKIN mirror. You look emaciated. Eat something. PLEASE. ( yes I know it is a disease and they can't help it)

5. Atheist's

Give it up already. MY GOD. (literally) I just don't understand the point of slamming religious people over and over. WE KNOW you think we came from monkeys, we know that you believe the world just **poof** existed. There is no reason to go to other people's sites and harass them because you hate the world. Seriously. Get over yourselves. Everyone has the right to believe or not to believe.

Welp, that is all I have for today folks! Sorry I was a little overbearing . I guess my mood today is just "annoyed".

What about you, what annoys you on Xanga lately?

Its incredible how complex our memories are. How we can be reminded of events, people, or even just something simple from a smell, a certain object, picture, or even through song.

Music,  second to my writing of course, is a release for me. But in much more of a peacful way. Every song holds it's own intricate message, that triggers a flood of memories. It's almost as if I close my eyes...I'm right back to the moment the song reminds me of in the first place.  It's so calming , a way to grasp all that has was once good but has since been destroyed.

Even if it is a song I have never heard before, I listen to the rhythm and the lyrics. The sound of the person's voice who is singing (or screaming) and I search for some way for the song to effect me in a personal way.  

I dont know why I have such a strong appreciation for music. I have no extreme knowledge in it, I play no instruments. But yet, I still find myself thriving for more. I wonder if it's because it helps me feel like there are others out there, who feel the same...who go through the same rush of emotions and pain. (ok, ok or... even passion and love)                                      

I think that music gives me hope....It is reassurance that life is good even when it is spinning completely out of control, or seems as if it couldn't get any worse.

I love my music. It's like water to my soul.

Do you have anything like this for you?
