Election Day

Today, before practice, our band director talked to us about Xanga sites.

Xanga n., a Web site that provides users with weblogs or "blogs". It is operated by Xanga.com, Inc., and is based in New York City. Users of Xanga are referred to as "Xangans".

He went into a pretty long talk about how he didn’t care if they insulted him on their Xanga site...although it did hurt him...he said it hurt him even more to see band members insult the program and each other. A program...marching band...that has taken a long time to earn respect of people unfamiliar with the program...and it hurt him to see it didn’t have the respect of some of the people in the program, and how they didn’t respect each other.

And, I must say...I totally agree with him. It hurts me, too, that I have to associate myself as a band member with other band members who are so disrespectful...and it’s mostly freshmen, I think, who are the cause of his talk, which makes me even more ashamed of my peers...but I just have to remember that not all of my peers are that way. In fact, I have a friend who as an Xanga that, from what I’ve seen, only has posted that she has a great time during TOBs, etc.

So...there is hope...

Oh, and I updated the layout! If I get more time, you may see other updates to the layout, but I think this is it for now...Laeta Election Day!
