Xomba Who is Who

Xomba Who is Who

After reading WhatUp’s estimation of Xomba writers – I had to come up with this. This feature has been niggling at me for some time – but as usual I have been lazy putting pen to paper or doing too much hard work online;-)

If you see an article that is sure to capture your attention with the right dose of subtle humor, dual meanings (lately), including everyone, great command over language, all in all an excellent enjoyable read – it is bound to be Taprial.

Jdubhub – Always egging us on to find the good in us. Making us look beyond us, our capabilities. And if you are looking for tips in writing – jdubhub will provide it. A lot of knowledge and uses it to perfection. Almost the “Wise Man of Xomba”. Its “almost” only because of the period he forgot himself and entered into a personal duel with another member. But he has got up, dusted himself, and moved on!

Rawnak – She is feisty. She has that perfect timing and unique feel for news and that has made her land some great first page posts. She has her finger on the nerve of the vox populi at all times. A crusader to boot. Definitely someone to look upto and admire. If one is in a mess anywhere, one really would like Rawnak to be there to fight …and win. And she must have “discovered” many articles here by being the first to comment!

Mia – Humor and Balance. That’s what comes through in her writing. Great imagination. She make make up stories from nowhere. If she loses her cycle, or has that extra cup of coffee or just surfs the Net in Library or teaches her daughter driving – there is a story in there!

WhatUp – His writing scared me, though I am used to it now. Never know what would come next from him. Always ready to explore new themes, concepts. I think he is trying to be likeable  now!

Publius – He has definitely become a softie with time (age?). And even has a bunny for a profile to prove it! Check out this comment from him to see how much of a softie he has become -“I still have to play my role as the "bad guy." Some "arrogant right-winger" has to be hated here, otherwise there'd be no point for the "lefties" to exist.” The old Publius would never go so far as to admit it! I like his signatures – which says “Who Is Publius?” or “my” with italics. I happen to be a (secret) admirer of his posts esp. because of their depth – and more because I am the exact opposite; I tend to touch the froth of most topics while he delves right into the deep sea!

XHellCat – Young, talented, firebrand (the name has more to do with this image I think). She should come up with more posts. She really is knowledgeable (with Homer and Illiad listed as her bedtime reading!) I enjoy her racy posts and comments.

MJDakota – Impetuous, always positive is my impression of her. She is ready to challenge all the time. A great favorite of mine.
Wdzzzs – Sincere, earnest, hard working with a lot of belief. He is not afraid to share his beliefs. Has a terrific voice Always positive and has a comment and encouragement for everyone. His smiling profile tells the story!

Kjhack – Non – controversial and moderate in his writings and comments. But has a nice way to tell a story.

AAT2 – Volatile – I feel he is ready to erupt anytime! Not afraid to comment on his own writing  Terrific writer – he should be editing some mainline magazine somewhere! On a scale of writers if he is at 10, I am at 1! I am just happy there is a platform – where stuff from such talented people gets published with mine!

Grimess – His writing is picturesque. Reading about his everyday life is like watching a soap opera (a better version). You are transported to his World of farms, smells, conflicts, drama, emotions, even criminals. Real variety to spice up the “Royal Reading” list!

Idlewild – He really helped me (Xomba too, I guess) take off on those initial days. Noticing posts, pointing out mistakes, always commenting, nudging others on. If it’s a well thought out article on the latest news in politics or sports, you know its from Idle. He really keeps the community up-to-date with well thought out resources on current affairs. A great writer – but I think he should explore the depths more.

Xomba Who Is Who cannot be complete without mentioning DeDom or Champagne. They have gone – where no man/woman has gone before – and that says it all!

I feel I am missing out on many who provide the spice and flavor to the site. Nick and Jeremy, you don’t feature here – because frankly you don’t write too much;-) The Xomba blogs don’t count even if they become top-rated in no time.

I am sure all the people mentioned here have many other sides to them. These are just my impressions from their writings and comments. And of course no offense meant to anyone!

"Xomba Crusader"

You really have managed to get out the characters of all of us so brilliantly...Hit the nail on the head. Thanks a lot Mamamia. You do have a way with words. I feel speechless right now. BTW, if I am not mistaken I think AAT2 is a "She" and not a "He" as you seem to feel. I could be wrong. The Arcade http://www.xomba.com/referral/77778

Sort of a Gandhi meets Fight Club

Thanks, mamamia, for your kind words. Yes, indeed, I did forget my true nature and got into a scrap or two. I had the mental image of Gandhi in Fight Club when I read it, though. LOL My two year anniversary here and the reading of some of my earlier work really made me think about my transition as a writer and as a human being. Where I am today is being the best "me" I can be and helping others do the same for their own lives. It may not be the most profitable niche on Xomba financially, but the rewards run far deeper than money. CLICK HERE TO JOIN XOMBA TODAY!
