xTian has been blogging for 6+ years. Unfortunately, no one credits him for starting (or even anticipating) the craze. It's possible that this is because what xTian was actually writing low those many years ago were the drunken ramblings of a young man trying just a little too hard to emulate Dylan Thomas. Still, it's clear and obvious that xTian has been bloggin since before the term existed. Maybe, they were email, but they were still well thought out and poorly executed with occasionally embarrasing grammar. xTian lives in NY and tries not to cry openly.
