  • Goodbye

     

    I’ve been an active Xangan for a while now. And in my time, I’ve seen many Xangans com and go, rise and fall, appear out of nowhere, then disappear just as fast. Yet through all that, I’ve still decided to stay. In the beginning, it wasn’t about popularity for me. I enjoyed my small crowd of readers, observing drama from afar, making fun of Xangalebs in a voice too small for most to hear. But then, I saw some members of our tight knit group get featured, and suddenly their “10 comments” posts turned into 70 or 80 comments easily, and I hardly saw them again, unless they were asking me to read their new post. “Tell me what you think. Oh, and you should rec it, too. It’ll probably be featured.” Yeah, sure. What are friends for. But then they, too, would get caught up in the drama (it’s inevitable) and it was too much for them, so they left, bitter with Xanga and all it’s members.

    I decided I don’t want that to happen to me. See, for the past year, at least, I’ve been trying to get my name on the front page, my time in the spotlight. Most of my faithful readers will say I am a talented writer (here’s a fine example) and poet (this is my best poem, this one’s good, too, oh and I like this one!). Also, I’ve written posts with great insight, brilliant underlying themes, and I’m pretty open about my feelings. I know, those aren’t exactly qualifications for the famed Xangaleb status. But alot of my posts are witty, funny, and even supportive of other Xangans (like here and here). I’m also creative. I invented the game Dan Yahtzee, which is still being played to this day, and also the still not-so-known Xeries idea. Heck, I’m even TheTheologiansCafe’s study buddy (sorry, no link, but I’m sure he’ll testify to it’s truth) And yet, despite all that, my status here has barely changed. The only time I was ever on Top Blogs was an accident and I didn’t even see it. Yet I have seen people join xanga and a day later are a hit because they spout out foul language and posts celebrity cleavage.

    And so, I believe my time has come. I’ve decided to leave before I get so caught up in the quest for fame, I lose sight of who I am and what is important. To my faithful readers (I dare not name them for fear of leaving someone out, but they know who they are), thank you for putting up with me and my shenanigans. Thanks to all who have encouraged me over the years. I hope my time here wasn’t wasted.

    Stay cool and beautiful.

    Goodbye.
