Yay, Christmas is over. No more Christmas posts. woooooooh
oh, er, wait, well darn. I just blew it eh?
Annnnyway…
I’m not the only one. I’d like to say there are no posts of substance right now on Xanga. That would be a lie of course, because I just found a new blog to subscribe to this morning, but only one on a ring called “Government Lies.” I’m sure there are more good blogs out there; the problem is finding them. None of the other blogs in the ring seemed interesting… or even on topic.
Is this a rant? Well, slightly. It sucks to find a fascinatingly titled blog-ring and find nothing but crap in it. Where are all the GOOD posts? Where are all the on-topic posts? Why join a blog-ring titled Bookworms (for instance) if all you talk about about on your site are past relationships and bubble-gum bands (ie Britney Spears, BackStreet Boys, and all the other blah-garbage). Shouldn’t you be talking about the most recent book you’ve read? Come on people, focus here.
Gah, my brain is melting with intellectual disgust. Maybe all the quality bloggers are just incommunicado for the holidays… missing their superior school internet connection or too busy with family, friends, and new toys to post stimulating entries to their Xangas.
Please no more lists of gifts received. I am happy to report for the most part, I received money. I suppose I will be buying my own presents. heh If that bookworm ring had turned out to actually have any book posts, I might have even joined it with all the books I plan to buy.
I propose an intellectual holiday where people only exchange books, gift certificates to bookstores, and other mentally stimulating gifts. If we can have holidays that appeal to the lowest common denomenators, then why not also the best of us? We’ll call it… I don’t know… um, Book Day? Nah! lol
But wouldn’t it be great? Mmmm, I know! Let’s call it Mensa-mas. heheheh

Nice book youre reading there!!! lol.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
It is so lovely working in a bookstore…
So mote it BE! Amen! Great idea for yule and I agree with the BLOG comments. I, too, found out after scrolling through a myraid of BLOG’s that there were very few of substance.
i hear you, i hear you. as infinite as the internet is supposed to be, you’d think we could find someone with a frontal lobe remaining. maybe it means something though, like that most of those kinds of people steer clear from the internet.
and you know what happened when Whitman went to live in an isolated society of intellectuals? it was boring as hell, and so, of course, he came back to the screwy world. i wonder how boring it really could have been, though. . .
that wasn’t much, but i just wanted to say that yeah. i know. and i think we’re looking for people that don’t exist. or they do exist, but it’s hard to judge from a xanga site. it’s so hard to judge.
