My Final Post

I've officially decided to stop using my xanga. I don't really visit xanga anymore, I don't post here anymore, and it seems most other people who used to check my xanga have moved onto other blogging sites and are following me there.

It has been a fun five years posting here. Plenty has happened in that time, a lot has changed, and it has been an exciting ride. I'm not going to shut down this site, at least not for now. I have archived all of my posts, so I will always have them. But just in case there is anyway else who wants to read them, I don't want to let them go away forever. I'm going to turn off the friend-lock most likely, once I have double-checked to make sure there is nothing there that I wouldn't want to go public.

Thanks for following. You can check out my other stuff at facebook or blogger (theologicalmishaps.blogspot.com or theolitical.blogspot.com)

My Status

As you have probably been able to tell, I haven't really been using this site anymore for a variety of reasons. I haven't been able to find a purpose for this blog since I stopped using this site as my main journal. At first I stopped doing my main blogging here partly because I wanted to experiment with facebook and blogger. I also switched partially because I was reassessing what thoughts and events I wanted to post about on here. There were also some personal reasons as to why I moved away from using this site.

Upon returning to xanga, I wanted to limit my audience to only those who I wanted to read it so I could share things that I didn't really want to have out in public. That was the main reason why I turned on the Friend Lock feature. But it seemed that that posting was happening more through private messages on facebook and e-mail, so xanga lost its function in that capacity. Over time, I have been trying to think of a way to re-use this site, find a different purpose for it, but no option has really presented itself. Also, it seems that most people who originally read my blog here have no started to read it elsewhere. So I have left the site unused for quite awhile.

You've probably noticed my last two posts were kind of throw-away posts. Basically, I was doing that for the credits which I have been trying to accumulate to upgrade to premium through credits. That is so I can download the archive of posts I have on here so I don't lose them. At this point, I do not think I will be using this site anymore for any purpose. I will probably keep the site open for a little while longer so that I can reverse that decision if I decide I want to use this site for another reason. But for now, I do not expect that to happen. Below are links to the sites that I update on a more regular basis. I appreciate all of you who have taken time to read what I've posted in the past here, even through all the nonsense and garbage I had the tendency to write, and I hope you continue to read on at my other blogs.

Currently Listening
As Daylight Dies
By Killswitch Engage
My Curse
see related
For Two Friends Who Have the Same Initials as one of my Favorite Games: Command and Conquer

I've found these lyrics helpful and hopefully you can appreciate them too based on the circumstances. And I think the name of the band is especially appropriate for the situation. Without doing what their name says, there's no hope of reconciliation:

My Curse by Killswitch Engage

I watched you walk away
Helpless, with nothing to say
I strain my eyes
Hoping to see you again

This is my curse (the longing)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the yearning)
This is my curse

There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Will you be there?

Your silence haunts me
But still I hunger for you

This is my curse (the wanting)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the needing)
This is my curse

There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?

Still I want
And still I ache
But still I wait
To see you again

Dying, inside, these walls

And I see your face in these tears? In these tears
And I see your face...

There is love
