    My new coworker!

    Just look at him go!


    Reasons why "Dunky The Bird" (yes, I've named mine) is better than you.

    • He always agrees with what I say.
    • He can out drink you.
    • He is OCD about his cleanliness.
    • He has an amazing tophat. How many of you know someone who sports one? Exactly!
    • He's so awesome, he doesn't need arms or wings.
    • Unlike most women, he knows how to keep his mouth shut. (Oh no he di'int!)

    Here's how he works:

  • XANGA FUNDRAISER UPDATE #546

    At first, Xanga's donations to help relaunch Xanga came at a staggering pace.
    http://i.imgur.com/eG7GTTB.gif

    Money was flowing. Like long locks of hair.
    http://i.imgur.com/AqiPJbA.gif

    Then things started to slow down.
    http://i.imgur.com/y3B13rI.gif

    Nobody was surprised.
    http://i.imgur.com/YUi6VR0.gif

    Xangans slowly left for other blogging platforms.
    http://i.imgur.com/tgeUi39.gif

    Even Livejournal.
    http://i.imgur.com/EJd96R3.gif

    So people started posting on Facebook, starting other fundraisers, and radio shows (@roadlesstaken) were created to spread the word.

    Current flow of donations coming in now.

  • Annoying Jewish Coworker Quote of the Day

    "Forget what I said... I just remember some of my OTHER circle of friends...."

    https://i.groupme.com/6006cc50bf57013041f4164679adaffb
    Yes..."friends."

    Annoying Jewish Coworker annoys another coworker.
    A coworker was kind and brought in tray of danishes for the group and set them up at his desk. Everyone comes by and treat themselves to at least one. There is one danish left.

    http://www.bagelshawaii.com/images/contents/danish_Photo1B.jpg

    Coworker: She has been picking away at the last piece of danish every time I got up to go somewhere. It was a full piece. It was half a piece. Now it was a quarter. I threw it out.

  • Dating a Friend's Sister.

    http://x2b.xanga.com/791f9b2347533277427834/w221016244.jpg
    SO MUCH ATTRACTION!

    Let me preface this post with a simple question. Would you ever let any of your close friends date your sister/brother?

    Let that sink in for a moment. Think about it.

    Okay, we're back.

    Here's a conversation I had with my friend, who has a sister. On the contrary, I grew up with two older brothers.

    Friend: Hmm, I don't see a problem, just as long as they keep that mushy stuff to themselves, and they treat her right.
    Me: I don't know how I'd react if I had a sister and one of us (our group of friends) dated her. I probably wouldn't approve of it. It's just too close to home.
    Friend: Would you disown your sis?
    Me: No, but I would feel uneasy.
    Friend: And throw up?
    Me: Especially if my friend came over to hang with her.
    Friend: But if they match, you don't have to worry about some scrub.
    Me: True. I guess it's like a screening test.

    http://i.imgur.com/YSkKp.gif

    Nearly 18 million Xangans suffer from blog insecurity. That means they don’t always know where their next post will come from. Because of proud donors across the world, Xangan can live again. Blogs can survive.

    http://i.imgur.com/Djnih.gif
    No Xangan should be left out in the cold.

    No Xangan in America should go blogless.But every summer, millions of Xanga servers across the country struggle to find adequate funding to run. That’s why they need friends like us to step up and fill in the summer gap. Your gift to the Xanga Crowdhoster will provide badly needed funding and other essentials to Xanga's servers.

    For just 13 cents a day you can help Xanga.

    -The sports section of a newspaper.
    -6.5 opinionated thoughts.

    Him:  My friend used to work at this steak house. Run down, past its time. He said when real jappy or waspy parents came in, they wold make their kid order for the whole table. And the snottier and more demanding the kid was the more they applauded for the kid when it was done. Like initiation into the world of bossing people around.

    Me: I'd of farted on their food.

    Him: He said they would ask for like more expensive wine. He'd go find them the worst wine and they'd be like, "oh this is much better!"

  • State of Cakalusa.

    Writing here for years has been nothing but special. I loved reading the feedback and steady flow of "LOLs." But over the years, I've lost motivation. Creativity doesn't come as often, and I simply don't have enough time to sit down and write posts like I have in the past. I went from needing to post every. single. day, to posting once a week. I feel obligated and forced to write "regularly" here. The news of impending doom coming to Xanga doesn't help.

    Now I'm digging deep. The next 30 days (up until the proposed "End of Xanga"), I will be posting content completely unedited, and unstructured from my cache website @cakalusastrikes. It's where I've been pre-writing my posts to copy & paste into this blog; I had 75+ posts queued up at one point. Some posts are public--and you'll get a glimpse of how unstructured and convoluted my early draft posts can be--but most are private. The posts you will read in the coming weeks can date back to 2006, but never saw daylight, until starting today.

    If Xanga survives, that's excellent news, and might reignite my blog like some tattered phoenix. If the clouds hover above on July 16th, then this blog too shall fade.


    Casual Fridays.
    I dress for success.

    Fried Chicken Stories: Part 2.
    Remember that episode of Simpsons when Homer didn't get all that he could eat at the seafood buffet? And when they ran out of food, he went fishing for more seafood?

    Yeah...

    Is it sad if I had a craving for KFC at midnight, and it was closed, and I ended up going to a bowling alley to buy fried chicken? Cause I didn't...DON'T JUDGE ME! DAMN IT!

    P.S.S Chicken fingers at a bowling alley aren't bad at all. Just a sidenote....

    If you're vain, and take a few photos of yourself in a new shirt, or want to show off your new face tattoo on Facebook, I'll allow it. But if you dedicate albums of photos for your ugly mug to be to shown across the Internet, you deserve every bit of criticism.

    An opportunity to make fun of someone, you say?

    http://i.imgur.com/J47GJ.gif
    Don't mind if I do!

    The latest target comes from a Xangan (who shall remain anonymous), who requested, "wanna make fun of a super conceited vain guy on your blog?" I'm glad that yours truly comes to mind when things like this need to be addressed.

    So I headed over to his Facebook and browsed around. I immediately smelled this man's ego from ten miles away. His thumbs must get a great workout from clicking the shutter button all day on his cameraphone.

    After a while, I thought "okay, he likes taking pictures of himself." But five minutes later and pages upon pages of scrolling through, it was littered with nothing but albums of himself. Jesus. Christ.

    At first I was somewhat okay with it. Amazed, really, as to how a person can post so many selfies.

    Here's my favorite album. His "Multiple faces of disappointment...2013." Two-thousand-freaking-thirteen. Does this dude have annual albums advertising his disappointing faces? Does he require his friends to witness how disappointed we are in his terrible facial expressions and photography choices?

    In the event of a catastrophic Xanga meltdown, and widespread panic (OH GOD, ALL THE CANNIBALISM!), I know many of you may want to keep in touch with others. So I've created this XANGA DATABASE.
