		<title>7 haiku pertaining vaguely to the economic crisis&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[winter freeze sets in.
optimism its victim,
trapped beneath the ice.
trees of industry
crashing heavy to the ground-
cacophonously. 
houses built on sand,
monuments to mankind&#8217;s greed,
blown into the wind.
we&#8217;ve taken stock in
false constructs for way too long.

the universe, he whispered
through the silent snow 
for some inexplicable reason, i&#8217;ve recently found myself on haiku-writing kick.  well, maybe its not that inexplicable, i&#8217;ve been using twitter&#8211;a social network/micro-blogging service&#8211;and haikus lend themselves to the 140 character limit.  that coupled with the fact that i&#8217;ve been mildly beating myself up [...]]]></description>

		<title>just be&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;act natural!&#8221; that was what she told me as she took my picture.  unfortunately acting natural is an oxymoron. to &#8216;just be&#8217; is what the goal truly is, and that&#8217;s already out of the question when you know there&#8217;s a camera clicking away&#8230;
which got me thinking: how often do we really &#8216;just be&#8217;?  how often [...]]]></description>
