Resolutely Apathetic

Here are my non-resolutions for 2009...
1. I'm not going to lose any weight despite going to the gym 3-4 times/week.
2. I'm not going to become more enlightened by spending more time reading and less time watching TV even though I can't find anything on TV worth watching.
3. I'm not going to become more passionate through music and art despite spending more time practicing guitar.
4. I'm not going to be more productive at work despite spending less time surfing the web.

To Xanga or not to Xanga

Xrist, it seems i've been on the internet forever. I remember when Mosaic web browser was the coolest thing since sliced bread and Yahoo was a single page of links to cool sites, about half of which were broken links to porn.
MailServers became a popular way for people of like interests to communicate and I even ran one of my own for a while on religion.
About 8 years ago I stumbled onto IRC as an excellent supplier for my MP3 collection (now over 23,000 songs), IRC led to "chat" and I really starting making some internet 'friends'.
In January of 2003, my IRC friends got me started blogging on LiveJournal, but there weren't that many of us and we didn't have that much in common so we all went our separate ways. I started hanging out in Yahoo game rooms and got to know a few people and we all started blogging in Yahoo 360 which is a piece of shit for a blogsite.
I had been reading 'the Fish' for about a year and enjoyed the comments of the regulars as much as the stories, so I recently started blogging here just to keep in touch with you all. I haven't experienced the problems some of you have, although there are some obvious issues.
I created a Xanga account so i can comment. Maybe I'll move my blogging efforts over there - i definitely don't like trying to maintain multiple blogsites.
