Shopping for a meaning in life.
Is our capitalistic nature taking a hold of us as a culture?
Yesterday I was listening to the Democracy Now radio — an extremely
leftist talk radio station that I don’t always agree with, but always
glean interesting ideas from — and was listening to a speaker who
ended up saying the deepest thing I’ve heard in the longest time.
He said, “Our culture is at a point where we are just shopping for a meaning in life.”
At first I was struck by the frankness of the declaration, and then I
began to think about it more carefully. The more I thought about
it, the more I thought about how true it is for the younger generation
— people in their twenties and their teens.
Ask your average teenager or twentager the last item of clothes they
bought, the last DVD they watched, the next thing their fingers are
itching to buy and they will probably be able to tell you.
Ask the same average teen or twenty-year old the last time they did
something that held meaning to them, and they’ll have a lot harder time
replying.
It seems that more and more I see kids and people who are only
interested in filling their lives with their possessions and things to
do. I blame part of this on the capitalistic society that
we live in — the entertainment industry seeks to entertain, while
everyone tries to provide new things that we all want and must have.
Because of these THINGS, it’s easy to fill your entire life and time
with things that don’t really have meaning to you as a human being.
However, I blame this phenomenon more on the individual people in our
society. We all know there are causes out there that need help,
volunteers, money. We all see that there are people that are in
more poverty than we are all the time. We just choose not to
stand up what we believe in until it’s too late… And when it’s too
late, we figure it’s too late to stand up for what we believe in.
So we pop in another DVD, pop another pill, and shop until we forget about the atrocious things that are happening around us.
Our stuff gives a reason to continue. Not our cause.
Why have so many young people lost the fire to push for things they really believe in?

life… if you’re looking to try something new and are inspired by this
post. I have found that nothing feels quite as good as doing hands-on service for the community.

Do you feel that our society is shopping for meaning?
Are we just filling our lives with STUFF to make up for the fact that we don’t have something we believe in?
I was at the grocery store and I saw this old ass grandma lady
struggling with her bags. I asked her if she wanted help.
In her smile I felt meaning… and amazingly enough, it was free.

Why Wehoroy is not the REAL mr Xanga 2005
And why people really SHOULDN’t throw rocks at glass houses.
–News flash! Wehoroy calls me “fucked up” and a “bitch” like it’s a bad thing…
So I had actually already written today’s entry, but it’s being held
off for just a little bit for a tiny bit more drama. The
reason? Because I’ve been THREATENED. Yes,
threatened. You don’t believe me?
And for those who know my perverse nature, you know that threatening me will only make things get worse.
Maybe he wants it that way, hell, this way he’ll get more hits!
How this REALLY started:
So first of all, let me tell you about my first run-in with Mr. wehoroy
over here. Someone guided me to his site and told me he had
written a comment about me, which I replied to sentence for sentence
here: (he has since deleted what he wrote):
You can’t see the date, but that’s 9/6/2005. THAT MEANS that
he started shit with me way before yesterday’s entry — which HE CLAIMS
is what started this bullcrap.
Basically he said something along the lines of “I
don’t understand why shi gets so many votes and comments. Her
blog doesn’t have real blogs anyway. I’m not saying this to hate,
it’s the truth”
My reply in a nut shell was: “Because I’m the best. And if you don’t have anything to back up why I’m not a real blog, then it really is hating.”
Apparently, according to him, this was a call for him to delete his
comment. Whereas, all I wanted to know was his reasoning behind
this topic.
Rule #1: Never say shit on your site that you can’t back up.
Rule #2: Never say shit on your site that you’re going to take down if the other person sees.
If you decide to start shit, start shit. Don’t give me that pussy shit of posting it on your site and taking it off.
Part 2:
Alright, so I wasn’t too mad about the thing before even though it did help fuel my anger enough to win that Xanga contest.
What really got me going was when I got this message:
Hey wehoroy, are you talking about ME? Are you saying that you
ripped MY site apart? Come on now, just asking why I get votes
and saying that my blog isn’t really a blog is NOT ripping me
apart.
As I said before, if you’re going to say something, BACK THAT SHIT UP.
For example:
Wehoroy’s page sucks for the following reasons:
1. Every single day that he gets on featured he posts that shit
up. What the FUCK is that? Some days, that’s the only thing
he posts. Who the fuck cares?
2. About half of his entries have absolutely no content. They’re
something he copy-pasted from somewhere or another. MY BLOG is
not a REAL BLOG? At least my shit comes from my own head.
3. He thinks that telling me I’m “FUCKED UP” is “dropping the bomb” on me
4. He calls himself a trendsetter because he posted pictures of his hits. I’m sorry, but that’s SO months ago. As in, someone better did it in March.
5. He is such a loser he made a VIDEO about the Mr. Xanga 2005 contest.
Come on now, if you’re going to “drop the bomb” on me at least post the
paparrazzi pictures of me fucking the taken brad pitt or
something. Shit. I already KNOW I’m fucked up, what I don’t
know is whether or not I’m fucking brad pitt.
OK and now the part that you’ve been waiting for:
Why wehoroy doesn’t deserve to be Mr. Xanga 2005
It has just come to my attention that Wehoroy [my co-winner] had been spamming our community with this message:
What it says is:
“Hey there!!! I really appreciated you voting for me!!! Now’s the
biggie! I made it to the next round, and I need you vote for me again.
Same rules apply. Just go .:HERE:.
and put my name in the comment box. If you want, you can put it my girl
Dieselgrrrrl’s name too for Ms. Xanga! She made it to the next round as
well! Here’s the catch: You CAN NOT place your vote until 3:00 pm
today, which is Wednesday (London time), and it only runs for a 24 hour
period! So, I really need your help!!!! Don’t vote too early, or
late!!! Thank you sooooo much in advance, and TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS to
vote for me!!! It’s about time the “little guy” wins something…Thanks
gorgeous!”
Alright, I just have one thing to say to this: If you really are Mr.
Xanga, you should only be asking your FANS to vote for you because your
FANS are the people who love your site and your FANS are the only
people who have the right to vote for you.
In all, to be Mr. Xanga, you should have ALREADY BEEN KNOWN.
Mr. Wehoroy won by 4 votes over my good friend Cakalusa, but it’s an
empty 4 votes, since so many of the votes were gained by him blanketing
the internet with his snivelling begging comment.
Final comments
Instead of wasting your time by blanket commenting the community, and
petty threats, why don’t you try harder and get some actual fans to
vote for you.
Yeah, sure, I’m fucked up — but you know in your heart that you were
the one who chose to start this with me and that I would have never
entered that contest seriously if it wasn’t for people like you and
that other girl.
If you had kept your mouth shut, your girl would have won.
ATTENTION READERS:
I apologize deeply for my actions lately and I swear that this is the
last piece of Xanga drama that I”m going to dish out for a long
time. I have about 5 entries I had to put on the backburner
because of this shit and I’m not going to hold off good entertainment
to prove my point anymore.
In the meantime I drew this for your entertainment:

Make sure you move it to “fast”

Hit me baby, one more time!
You know you want to know my numbers…
The trendiest shit in XangaLand right now is to post up the amount of hits you are getting:
Anyhow… So, since I’m SUUUCH the trend whore and I can’t let
ANYONE out-brag me, I decided to go to my own site meter to put up my
own damn stats….
Only, instead of an impressive peak, they look more like Bush’s approval ratings.
Apparently, my stock is down.
…How depressing… If my sense of self-worth were based on
hits, the value of my life would be rapidly decreasing right now.
— remind me that I’m not meant to be a trend whore and will never be one correctly.
What trends have you tried following that have been complete failures?
p.s. in case you can’t tell, i’m being
sarcastic. i think this trend is pretty dumb. what’s the
point of showing people your hits? no one gives a shit.
On a related note…
Today shi@xanga reached 1000 subscribers!
I very rarely talk about my stats [in fact, I mentioned featured
content just about once in all my entries] because I think they’re the
most boring thing in the world. Plus I don’t think anyone really cares
whether or not I get 100 hits or if I got on featured content.
— But since I already broke the ice and showed the world the
amount of hits I get daily, it’s the best time to announce that my site
recently reached 1000 subscribers! Man, honestly, that’s a big
number even for me.
Congratulations to joe_XXX for
being my 1000th subscriber! I’ve been hitting quite a few Xanga
milestones lately it seems, and it’s all because of the coolio awesome
people that read the bullcrappy I write semi-daily.
Special thanks to all my real-life friends who put up with the bullshit I put them through!

A night out with wu
There should be a morning after pill for drinking…
For those of you who don’t read their sites (since they’ve all written
about me at one point or another), I’ll let you in on a secret: I am
really close to three xanga-celebrities. One of them I’ve known
since I first started college (who got into this Xanga craze with me
and is now my mantacular boyfriend) : Sup007.
Another Xanga celeb is Chris (you may know him as CaKaLusa) who I talk to daily and took to Disneyland when he came to cali…
And the last one I randomly ran into at school because he happened to be in one of my computer science classes, is wu, aka wutuwaitin4.
All nerd joking aside, since we met, wu and I have become pretty
close. In fact, he might even start working at the same company I work at. If that happens, it’ll be awesome.
Anyhow, last night wu and I went to a surprise party for our friend and
I was determined [DETERMINED] to get a couple pictures of the two of us
together, since we have none at this point to show off.
So without further ado, I present to you:
The “Before” picture. That’s us doing our crazy ass Xanga Posse Pose
SUCKIT bitches!
The “After” picture: I don’t get red, but I do stupid shit like making fun of people who do.
I’ll bet Wu doesn’t even remember this pimpin moment.
.. Or maybe he’s chosing not to.
What most of the night looked like from my point of view.
Yes, I am that short that I can’t see people’s heads.
And finally, no birthday party post would be complete without a picture
with the birthday boy. I can barely sit upright in this picture, but
amazingly enough, he’s not passed out.
We’ll get you next time, Ben!
What do you like better for partying: house parties, massives, or clubbin?

Dude, your MOM commented me.
I didn’t realize I was a Xanga babysitter!
For those of you who don’t know, a couple days ago I wrote this entry about how if you search for the words “drunk naked girl” you find my pictures on google.
Amusingly enough, I’m neither drunk nor naked in any of the pictures.
Anyhow, that’s besides the point. The point is that I received this rather disturbing comment:
Of course, I immediately click to this “josh the skater”‘s site..
It’s too intriguing not to. Surely enough, I see this:
He was born in 1991. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, this
xanga account belongs to a 14 year old…… WHICH MEANS — more likely
than not, josh’s mom was the one commenting on my site. [Oh shit!]
So, I commented back with this:
However, I still have a couple more things to say to Josh’s mom:
- Please learn how to spell. If you really want me or even your children to respect
you, you have to be smarter than them. — As Ross says: y o u ‘ r e is “you are”. y o u r is
“your”.
- Learn how to read. I’ve never admitted proudly to being a drunk or a slut anywhere on this site.
- I am not your son’s babysitter. Where he goes on the ‘net on his own time is NOT my prerogative.
- I’m here to entertain, and if your son happens to think I’m
interesting then so be it. There’s a lot worse shit out on the
internet that he can be looking at than my site.
- Why are you pissed off at me, when it’s your son who’s looking at my
stuff? He’s the one voluntarily looking at my page — I never
singled him out and said “LOOK AT MY PAGE LITTLE 14 YEAR OLD”. In
fact, as a new viewer here, I guess you didn’t notice, but I actually
dislike it when little kids come to my site.
Thank you Josh’s mom, and have a nice day.
What’s the kooky embarassing things do your parents do?
P.S. Thank you BRENT!
My
awesome friend BRENT drew this awesome banner of me and didn’t even
tell me about it! Please tell BRENT how fucking cool he is! What I’m holding is a turkey leg. I
LOVE TURKEY LEGS! Anyone who’s been to Disneyland with me can attest to
that. Man, this picture is so realistic, I can’t get over it. BRENT BRENT BRENT
P.S. Oh yeah! I wanted to say THANKS again for your votes!
Amazingly enough, I won!
Maybe Josh’s mom is right, I’m a whore afterall.

The Great Xanga Boycott!
Support originality and banish the wannabes!
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time to take back our eProps
I’m compiling a list of the people who should get 0 eProps! If
you know someone who deserves 0 eProps comment on THIS ENTRY [and this
entry only] why they should not get any eProps (and sufficient proof,
screenshots if possible). If I find that they are worthy of 0
eProps, I will add them to this list:
The Official 0 eProp List
(updated as of September 04, 2005)
If you see these people around, don’t waste your precious e-props!
Support the Great Xanga Boycott and add your own hatred to the heat!
If you want to support the Great Xanga Boycott project,
feel free to post any of these banners on your site — use the code
provided so you can link DIRECTLY to this entry so that everyone will
be able to see the losers that I’m listing even after it’s off my front
page!
Or, just tell me who you think deserves 0 eProps and why?
I’ll start with my stories:
Keniiiiiiiiiiii deserves 0 eProps
This
guy decided to start his own contest called “Xanga Whores 2005″ THE
DAY the Mr./Ms. Xanga contest ended! What the fuck is
that? It’s an outrage for several reasons:
1. It cheapens the Mr./Ms. Xanga awards, which has been around for years
2. My good buddy Whonose
[whose banner i designed] planned this shit for a year, and this guy
takes his idea in an attempt to gain some popularity and eProps, riding
on his coattails? Fuck THAT shit!
3. The same fucking
people are nominated! It’s the same contest, the day after!
If you’re going to come up with an idea for a contest, make it an
original idea, at least. You’re like the “Being Bobby Brown”
compared to “The Osbournes” — come on now!
4. (This part is
personal) He constantly brags about how great he is in photoshop and
his site looks ridiculously hideous. As a web developer, I am
completely disgusted. He makes fun of my stick figure drawings
and offers to do my photochopping for me [yeah, because I need a noob’s
help, that shit is obviously on purpose] but then he comes up with ugly
ass banners like the one below. I think I’m going to puke!
BOYCOTT HIS CONTEST AND BOYCOTT HIM! He’s nothing but a biter and a suckup who’s looking for some cheap eProps!
–Edit:—
It’s so sad when people try to make up for being stupid by
being more stupid! He now claims that he doesn’t deserve to be
on here because his awards were a parody —
Hey now, does that really make you any less of a cheap prop grubbing ho? 0 eProps!
–End Edit–
so bad, i couldn’t even splooge
Contest_2005 deserves 0 eProps!
Yet ANOTHER rip-off of mr./ms. Xanga awards. What’s funny is that
this dumb bitch made a whole new XANGA just for this but then she puts
her fucking webcam pic or whatever as her profile pic — Yeah, that
makes it not obvious that you just want your face plastered around
Xanga without having to do the work of creating legitimate content.
This girl is as much a loser or even worse than the guy above!
What the fuck is that shit? She even asked me to come and
nominate myself. What a dumb whore. Yeah, I really want to
be something gay sounding like the PRINCE of Xanga.
Didn’t you know? I’m already the KING bitch!
my penis ain’t touching THAT shit.
Who have you seen around that deserves 0 eProps, and why?
