In the days of wine and roses
They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
Ernest DowsonThis place has been special. I can only dream that as things change, they stay special. I had lost my faith before I came here. My first months on Xanga were a journey back to into faith. I met people who helped me, and I saw people who were going the other way. Both inspired me, by both their good and bad examples. You guys were good for me
Has this been a good place for you as well?

it’s been great for me, i met kyle, and john and V and G and Lea and curt and Phil, and im forgetting people, but it’s been the first time i any people that cared about what i said ever since elementary school. so God bless Xanga.
Yes, I have to say it has. It hasn’t always been what I thought it was going to be, but it turned out better than I expected. I had an agenda at first,but things got better for me after i lost the agenda. Yours has always been one of my favorite places on Xanga! Thank you so much!
This was beautiful, Paige.
Hi, Paige.
I love Xanga. It’s been great.
You’re the first sign of life in my feed in 6 hours.Gee Wiz! This must be Xanga 2.0 cranking up for its grand debut!(I couldn’t bring myself to say grande finale)
Good and bad,the way life is. Now they are asking for money,the way life is.We are lucky the sun is shining without asking for money.
I agree, Xanga has been fun. I think it will continue. I hope.
@ImNotUglyIJustNeedLove - Wow that is sad
@At_Sixes_And_Sevens - Do you still talk with kyle much. He is another one who fell off my radar
@Such_are_you - Odd that reply vanished …I said thank you. You have done good things. Personally i have seen the life you touched change directions in such a good way. You can never see it or know. But two lives (the one you touched and the one she touched) are going the right way now. Before that they were crashing and burning. I think this happens a lot. We do things that change a life but we have no way to know about it. We are tools used by another and will not know what we did in this life
@GreekPhysique - Thank you
@nyclegodesi24 - Well hello
@musterion99 - I have really loved it at times
@carlo - I really wonder who a paid format without a free option can make it
@mcbery - There is still hope
Xanga is a great place…
@trunthepaige - Wow! Your sunny cheer is contagious!
@ImNotUglyIJustNeedLove - Im happy to hear that
@trunthepaige - This Xanga joy factor is what is contributing to the mass exodus, I think.People get discouraged because traffic has dropped off so drastically that they leave. Even Mr. Xanga himself, TheologiansCafe quit posting weeks ago.
I did not know that. I take off every summer. This time xanga decided follow me and maybe not come back. I always came back
This place is a great place. I learned a lot about theology and faith through the blogs here and became a blogger myself regarding these topics. Now, I know a lot about so many different theological interpretations of the Bible. I hope that Xanga continues so that this may be one of the ways that others may be given the opportunity to explore these questions and eventually, come to the decisions themselves.
This has been an amazing and life changing place for me, although I have not been active for several years, it has always held a special place.I’m not very familiar with whatever changes are to be taking place though.
Indeed it has. I don’t know what I’m going to do without xanga.
I have only been here 13 years…. Oh, what was your question?!
@trunthepaige - nah i haven’t talked to him in like 2 years, he went bonkers when i made fun of his g/f from the internet and that’s the last i heard of big baby kyle
@At_Sixes_And_Sevens - So he finally had a real girl friend. So are you ever coming back to Facebook?
@trunthepaige - idk if she’s real, she must be, he sure got buttmad when i made fun of her like he always made fun of me and v. i’ll prolly get back to facebook when the dust has settled from xanga falling apart
@At_Sixes_And_Sevens - Ok Tony I have always hoped you would write again someday but I suspect your muse is dead. I hope to see you again
Thank You for Great posts consistently, Paige. I will make it a point to find out where you are writing, and come there to read what you post. You are a very smart lady, and a very good person. Please stay well and happy.Michael
