		<description><![CDATA[When I was little, someone showed me how to peel a banana the traditional way: from the top down.  Without ever challenging this concept, I&#8217;ve spent the last two decades struggling with stubborn bananas, hoping that each one I peeled would submit without strife.  Some would give in easy, but others would bruise and become [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, the best way to look at things is from a totally different perspective.  Analogies give us the opportunity to do just that, so I&#8217;ve taken this opportunity to shed some light on why a government-run/regulated health care industry would be better than an unregulated, privatized health care industry such as the one we currently [...]]]></description>

I wonder what sees in me
Something that I still can’t see
A bright and charming, somewhat shy,
Introverted kind of guy?
I wonder why she always prays
For bright and sunny summer days
When all I want is cold and rain
A winter, bleak, and full of pain
I wonder why she always dreams
Of what this thing we [...]]]></description>

September 5, 2008
Inside your head and all through your mind
There’s a broken dream that you left behind
It comes in and goes out, but it never leaves
You hide and you struggle, you suffer and grieve
Face to face, but you’re looking away
Pretending it’s night when it’s damn well the day
Refusing to go back because [...]]]></description>

That means there are no registration lines and no bitchy ladies telling you the registration form hasn&#8217;t been filled out properly.  There are no physical classrooms to show up late to, which means there are no boring lectures that you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of speculation about the quality of single, college-aged girls in the Melbourne area.  My hypothesis is simple: most of the good ones go out of town for college while the &#8220;less than desirables&#8221; stick around, making the dating scene a rough, contaminated quagmire for guys like me.  To qualify [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When an organization causes feelings of negativity, people handle it in a number of different ways.  Detachment is the one we&#8217;re going to focus on right now.  Obviously, this is bad for both the organization and the individual, but the process of detachment is popular because it works really well in the short [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since gas hit three dollars a gallon, I’ve been championing higher fuel prices as much as possible.  Most people get pissy when I tell them that the primary reason I want gas prices to go higher is because “it will keep all the lowlifes off the road”.  In fact, there are a [...]]]></description>

Darkness sets in and clouds fill the sky
The evening waits patiently, life passes by
Off in the distance, she stands in a dress
She bears not a smile, her hair is a mess
Timid and restless with nowhere to turn
There&#8217;s so much to see and so much to learn
Go to her.  Go! [...]]]></description>
