  • The Last Xangeroo


    Someday. 


    Someday, in a hopefully distant future, the last Xanga blog will be stillbirthed.  And I imagine that last blog will say something simple like “Goodbye.  And thanks for all the memories.”   Nobody will be left to read it.  Nobody will probably have been left for a very long time as the very last blogger will have resolutely remained upon the lone plain of posts well beyond the last scuffle of dust from anything even resembling a click-through.   


    All the good old posts will have been lovingly read over and over again by the last Xangeroo.  And even the strange odd posts which never even had a single reader in their own time will have been visited and sentimentally propped by this last propper.  All will have been read and all propped out.  With nothing left unexplored, there will be nothing left to do.  Like Alexander the Great sorrowfully eulogizing after realizing he had conquered the world with no quest remaining, the last blogger will shed a tear at this vanquished turn in time.  And this lone writer himself or herself will finally and reluctantly  decide to post the last post and never again look back.  It will be as sad as setting down a rose and walking away from a visit to a lover at a graveyard.  It will be as proverbial as an old-soldier fade-away.  Exit, stage left, old snagglepuss.  Not going away mad, just trudging wearily but peacefully away toward an ephemeral vision of a well-deserved, awaiting, eternally-rewarding Bloghala.


    So I commemorate this last Xangeroo now since such an appreciation will be unavailable at the moment of finality.  And I invite all of you, too, to wish-well to this last Xangeroo who, someday, will undoubtedly stumble upon this post.


    Hail to thee, the last of the Xangeroos, the very last of all of us!!!


    (btw, who amongst us might this intrepid spirit be??  or can we imagine that the world yet awaits the birth of this fated blogger??!!)
