Jammed: Full into Capacity

I used to be so addicted with blogging, that I have named a syndrome called CXA (short of Certified Xanga Addiction). This was one of my favorite posts.

CXA Syndrome
Etiology:It is caused by CXA.you.are.bugged virus. The virus can be deadly, in a sense that you might end up failing your subjects or fired if you didn’t treat it earlier.

Epidemiology: The disease can affect everyone but commonly the CXAs belong to age 10-30 yo.

Manifestations:

1. It’s exam week and you still update your Xanga, blog hop, and do everything that has something to do with Xanga. You make Xanga an excuse for not studying.

2. Xanga keeps popping out of your mind, every minute, everywhere.

3. The first website you type in your address toolbar is http://xanga.com. Or it’s even your homepage.

3. After you have finished updating your Xanga, you were thinking of possible ideas on what to put on your next entry.

4. When an idea comes out which you think is a nice update, you leave your study table or you suspend your work, you get a ballpen and start to write the draft, or you sit in front of your PC and open MS Word and you start tapping the keyboard.

5. Your regular visitors see different faces of your Xanga everytime they pay a visit. You frequently change your Xanga layout, that is, also your music background and oh, your profile pic as well.

If you have at least one of these manifestations, then you’re counted in. The virus got you.

Of course no disease should be left untreated. So here’s how you can treat the disease.

Treatment:

1. You cut off your internet connection, if you have LAN/DSL/Broadband connection. For modem users, tell your mom not to pay the phone bill for three months.

2. Say the no.1 is not possible, after all, the internet connection is not solely for your pleasure. Your other family members might be using it for their pleasures, too. And your mom will never agree with you to disconnect the telephone line. Should you feel the urge to log in, get a notebook and a pen and write, “I hate Xanga!” many times. Or for better results, write, “Exam!” or “I should work!” million times.

3. If no. 2 is not effective, get a journal at the nearest school supplies store and write your thoughts on it instead of Xanga-ing.

4. Go to a vacation for months or years at a very far place, say in mountainous regions where the people doesn’t know what computers are.

6. But in some cases, diseases are assessed by its severity. Severe cases can have poor prognosis, sometimes due to the failure of treatment. If you fail do the aforementioned four, then live with it. You are a Certified Xanga Addict. After all, not all morbidity cases leads to mortality.

Prevention: Isolate yourself from the internet. If you heard of one talking how Xanga can be interesting, pretend that you’re not hearing it. Do not succumb to the desire of trying it out. Surveys say that Xanga is 100% addictive.

I guess the virus infected me again this time. And it’s of a new strain, called the.virus.got.you.once.again. Some of it’s additional manifestations will be added later!

And I should say, it has come to its most severe form. I have made 4 posts within a few hours!
