		<title>the resilience of alabama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Alabama, my home state (and current state), suffered a historic tornado outbreak. In one day, more tornadoes whipped through the state than the sum of 2010. The images of destruction and learning of lives lost has left residents of the state weary and devastated. &#160; Many people have inquired of our safety and our [...]]]></description>

		<title>an unexpected change of plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A year ago, I would&#39;ve never expected to do what I just did today. A year ago, I had big dreams to get my PhD, write a book, be some historian on the History Channel, and be a lecturer on urban history that people wanted to hear.&#160; Instead, today, I just signed and mailed a [...]]]></description>

		<title>deepwater horizon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear President Obama, I&#39;d like to take a moment to tell you that I&#39;m not happy. Not one bit. I&#39;m practicing my right to voice my opinion&#8230; and I can do that, since I voted. And I voted for you, actually, since the thought of McCain saying &#34;Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran&#34; scared the bejeesus out [...]]]></description>

		<title>dear tim james&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Tim James, Alabama Republican Gubernatorial Candidate, &#160; I&#39;ve seen your latest campaign video on changing driver&#39;s license tests to only English. It&#39;s probably not a terrible idea, fiscally speaking&#8230; It&#39;s just the way you approached the topic in your commercial that just really irked everyone. &#160; &#160; You said the following: &#34;This is Alabama.

		<title>my recent life&#8217;s constant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few years, many of my friends can vouch for this: I&#39;m not the easiest person to keep up with. Sometimes I spend weeks lingering over decisions, and sometimes I decide in an instant to go somewhere and I&#39;m gone. I can withdraw for days and then jump out into the scene as [...]]]></description>

Love like you&#39;ve never been hurt and live like it&#39;s heaven on Earth.&#34; -Mark Twain&#160; It&#39;s right at times when I think that I have gotten the hang of my day-to-day life when I get a shocking bit of news to absolutely bamboozle [...]]]></description>

		<title>why it&#8217;s great to &#8220;rock the red&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[crossposted on pickmyNHLteam.com on December 31, 2009] The Washington Capitals&#8230; up until a few years ago, locals and people across the country paid little attention to this talented team on the ice. Now, they&#8217;re the most discussed team in Washington, D.C., and they get mentions during NFL coverage of Washington Redskins games. Right now, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#39;s that time of year again&#8230; BOWL SEASON! It&#39;s a southerner&#39;s dream vacation time, if possible&#8230; sitting around watching football ALL. THE. TIME. And, if you&#39;re lucky like this year and you follow the Southeastern Conference, ten of twelve teams accepted bids to bowl games. Unlike most of the world, which I found out recently, [...]]]></description>

		<title>oh the insanity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of course with December comes the insanity of the holidays&#8230;&#160; Except, this December, I celebrated my 30th birthday. It was great. I loved it. It didn&#39;t change much. I actually would always accidentally tell people I was already 30, and then have to correct myself. Maybe I was preparing for it before? Who knows&#8230; But, [...]]]></description>
