why do i xanga.
i used to xanga when i was in highschool. i just love to write. and xanga provided me with the space, and the ease of just ‘posting’ and not having to worry about all the other HTML stuff.
then i went to the marines. bootcamp and school…there wasnt time for anything. but my job in the Corps allowed me to come in contact with people of a creative nature, and I soon started to make web pages again. (i am now going to school for computer software engineering.)
then i visited xanga again. my old site. reread my entries. being able to look back and see those entries and remember what was going on in my life at those times. that was a great feeling. i had changed so much. rather, the Corps had changed me so much. And being able to see those entries, that were made before the military, made me remember how creative i used to be. I wanted that back. So really, Xanga helped to save me. Xanga retold the stories that i had forgotten. and they are still there today, but they are for me.
So I decided that soon i would be getting out of the military, and that that was an important place of my life too. I wanted to remember the things that had happened there too. I wanted to look back, and say, Yeah, I did that. So I started to Xanga again. And i look forward to when i can look back, and remember the second phase of me. just like the first.

Amen to that.
I look back at entries made a year ago on the same day and think.. “Wow.. I’m a different person now.” I’m glad, too, that Xanga has kept records of who I used to be and of how I’ve changed.
IF Xanga existed when i was in high school, man y’all would have some outrageous stories
