		<title>Top Ten Songs About Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In honor of Valentine&#8217;s Day, I decided to compile a list of my top ten favorite songs about love. I say songs about love and not love songs, because not all of these songs are the types of songs I would put on, say, while I&#8217;m cooking a romantic dinner for Robert tonight. I also [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m just sayin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my recent speech pet peeves has been the phrase &#8220;I&#8217;m just sayin&#8217;.&#8221;
I realized a couple of weeks ago that I was saying this phrase, which irritates me because it essentially tries to make something that a person is saying less dramatic than it actually is.
For instance, &#8220;Your sister might be telling the truth, [...]]]></description>

		<title>:-)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More and more these days, I feel like I speak to people through the written word rather than in person. And that&#8217;s not just because I work in journalism.
I would say the main way I communicate with my friends nowadays is by text message, e-mail and social networking. All of them rely exclusively on words, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Forming Habits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I bought &#8220;Seven Habits of Highly Effective People&#8221; for my Kindle and began reading it. When I was younger, I read &#8220;Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens,&#8221; but I honestly don&#8217;t remember it that well. Off and on through the years, I&#8217;ve picked up this book from the library and considered buying it, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Me vs. iPhone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often wonder how my generation and the ones after will primarily communicate in the future. I also wonder what behaviors will become commonplace because of changing technology.
Lately, it&#8217;s become a game of mine to watch how other people are interacting with one another at restaurants. All too often, I see a group of people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turning Point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read a fact this week from an uncredited source that people are 85 percent more likely to achieve their goals if they write them down. (Also, 60 percent of people are unimpressed by statistics.) So that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do.
And I apologize in advance for the stream-of conscience format of this post.
Sometimes you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is happiness?
One of my favorite songs is from a musical called &#8220;You&#8217;re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.&#8221; It&#8217;s about the simple things that make people happy, from a kid&#8217;s perspective: &#8220;Happiness is finding a pencil, pizza with sausage, telling the time.&#8221; Sometimes, when I hear that song, I feel like crying, which might sound [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yeah, I still like meat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ended my vegetarian week today by pigging out at Texas de Brazil, which is a Brazilian steakhouse. My friend David calls them meat buffets. Essentially, the waiters walk around carrying meat on swords, and they slice off pieces for you as they go by.
It&#8217;s all completely gluttonous. And I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be eating [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding Self-worth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been the hot girl. You know her: the one who turns heads whenever she walks in the room; the one your guy friends ask about; the one you do and don&#8217;t want to hang out with because of the attention she gets when you&#8217;re around.
Mostly, I&#8217;ve been OK with that. I have talked [...]]]></description>

		<title>What if</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I&#8217;ve always been keenly aware of is that there is no way to change the past. If a time machine had been invented, I believe that someone would have screwed up somehow and let it slip that they are from the year 3013 to the world. So give up hope of Doc showing [...]]]></description>
