Wine Whine
I really miss the old Xanga days where I used to write on a frequent basis. Sometimes I look back at some of my entries and wonder how I ever came up with formulating them and putting them down.
I do recall when I started on Xanga I worked in facilities offices and would post on Xanga almost daily. I’m even surprised I had the time to do this. Now I’m working in a high school running an office and I have to admit that working amongst high schoolers there is never a dull day. I also hold a position on the executive board for my union – so I’ve been swimming in Election 2012 and Prop 30 & 32 data/information that at times I feel like I’m drowning in it.
It just feels that there are so many things going on that I truly don’t have time for myself anymore, or I feel like I can’t allow myself permission to just sit down and write … like I’m doing now. I want to get back to those old Xanga days when I wrote about what’s going on in my little corner of the world.
*sigh* I think I’ll finally crack open that bottle of wine that my Assistant Principal gave me this year for Administrative professionals day and see where that takes me.

Dear Liz,
10pm as I write. You must be pretty sloshed by now.Was delighted to see a comment, and even more delighted to see a post. I’ve always jotted down notes for entries on notepad documents both on my home and work computer. Sometimes I’m surprised going back over the files that I wrote some pretty good stuff on the fly between waiting for programs to load or on break at work. So it doesn’t really matter where the writer writes, just that he/she does so as regularly as can be. I just “came back” to Xanga (some people think I never left, cause I always posted at least once every two or three weeks) and am meeting new folks all over again. As before, I find that when blessed with feedback, my creative juices at least start flowing more energetically. I let my career take over my life for far too long when I was your age, so when I started Xanga it was to establish a creative forum for my artistic bent. It works for me. Hope to “see you around” these parts more often, my dear.Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philosopher, fool
