Xanga Tour
XangaTour
I love being a longtime Xangan who likes to disappear and then resurface and try to get a "feeling for the community" I've been a part of for such a long time. You know me. I'm the one who used to leave the novella sized comments on blogs hereabouts. If you read any of my real good friends here in Xangaspace, you see them pop up from time to time. I've also posted a lot of my own "art and literature" over the years.
But ya know. My most widely read entries are those where I make fun of Xanga. I love Xanga, and I don't do this in a hateful or disrespectful way. I love the way Xanga has changed, and pretty much stayed the same, since I joined back in 1953. Er, excuse me. 2004. Xanga's been around since the turn of the century. (I just love to write that phrase). In the beginning, there were Xangalebrities, Xanga drama. Xanga historians, and "debates", er, I mean, "bandwagons." They just weren't give a name in the early days of "social networking."
We're a cross section of humanity, and as our numbers dwindle, and "Past Xangans" come back and wonder where all the comments went, the "community" morphs and changes, and yet stays the same all over again.
Here is my Xanga Tour thoughts and "comments" as I look over the "main page" and the "top blogs" and the brouhaha and the "plugs" too. Enjoy.
1. Xanga Plugs, on the right hand column of your beloved "Universal Inbox."
Boobs and questions. That's about it. Yet, I still get lots of comments.
Boobs and questions. Yup. The eternal combination. Yahtzee!
It's good to be king.
So, Xanga Gods, tell me. If another one of these shows up do bells and whistles start going off and $500.00 in quarters come cling clanging out of my computer monitor? If that happens, then I don't miss the downfall of the internet poker sites at all.
2. Xanga Blogrings (Er, Groups, I meant to say, Groups)
3. The Ish Sites
4. Top Blogs1. Happy Birthday Seedsower (@WildWomanOfTheWest)Many happy returns of the day. You MUST BE BUSHED!2.She Needs College Roommate Advice, HELP. (@ItsWhatEyeKnow)Uh, if you're a member of the tea party, don't bunk with a liberal. Er, if you want to study, don't move into any place with greek letters over the door on an off campus street known locally as "the Row."3.Under the Sun in a Wasteland (@faquet)Some old French guy? Where did this come from. I'm on Xanga right? (Seriously, great post Michel. This is the front page of Xanga. What are you doing here? I'm in parody mode)4.Grammer and Spelling. (@ItIsAllGravy)This is more like it. That's "speling", Jim. I'm ashamed of you.5. Can Anyone Lose Weight? (@TheTheologiansCafe)I seem to think you looked a little portly last time I saw a photo of you, Dan.
Like a bad penny, I've returned. Miss me. DearRicky. Be my friend? DearRicky. I wrote a book. Buy it OK. I'm in a wheelchair. And I wrote a book.9. From the Rotating selection of Ish Sites above the Top Blogs
(Not the actual photo. I used one I stole a better one from elsewhere on the internet.)Hey, I wrote one of those too! Wasn't featured though! Shucks.) Oh, sorry. Mine's about hookers. Never mind.(Oh, 6 through 8 weren't really that funny. And who's counting, anyway?)10. I've spent too long on this little entry. Now I gotta go to bed. But first, I have to know how "rape in the Bible" affects my gameplaying on the Kinect vs. Move vs. Wii. I drank the Kool Aid too. When it was mixed with LSD, not at that compound in the Guayanas with Jim Jones. Ah, Xanga. I love you.Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philosopher, fool(Uncompromised, Uplifting, and Totally Original Xanga blogs since 2004! Well, maybe not THIS one.

That about sums it up.
Yep. That's Xanga lol
haha
I love the picture of the cat with the computer. He looks soo much into it. But it makes me think. Perhaps he is really learning. lol ?
Wait...I don't think a Xanga tour is complete without a link to a post where Michael is nudie or dancing!
I try not to Xanga and drink, because I read a lot of funny posts and I've actually spit water outa' my mouth while Xangaing!
You have been guilty of making me spit! 
HUGS! and I'm gonna' rec you! :-p
I made top blogs writing about my cult-like experience being recruited to sell makeup?
Wonders never cease.
Thanks for the great and funny post, Mike.
Here's a comment, a mini and a rec to help you get to top blogs!
I find I enjoy Xanga the most when I stay away from the front page.
Xanga can be like that sometimes
ha ha ha love this <3
I do see your long comments here and there. They are very well thought out and the recipients are lucky to get them!
Oh heil white dan.
Dear Bald Mike,
This isn't half as funny as your usual trollish metablogs, but nonetheless, still worth a rec to my 1100 friends. I noticed you capitalized "Spelling" in my title when I deliberately left that word lower cased. There's a distinct chance I take offense to that.
I think you should resurrect your stereotypical top blog comment thread that you did a while back.
Sincerely,
James A. Gravy

PS: Thank you for keeping your clothes on.
The itty bitty dangle between the strippers legs freaked me out. Wtf.
This one was indeed highly amusing, though, so hey who's counting?
It's good to see your silly side, but don't be ditching those photo posts!
Enlightening...
I was tempted not to comment on this seeing how it will likely be a big hit. It's good to see your posts in my inbox again. I may need to trim some I don't see you there very often.
Yep, that's pretty much the way it is!
And here I thought I was the only one left on here old enough to remember the Electric Kool-Aid!
xanga in a nutshell.
You've pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one, not much more to it! Hope all is well with you, Mike!
Fun blog!
