		<description><![CDATA[Well this is one of those unusual days where I’m merely posting to confirm that I have, in fact, not died. I was gone for a week getting married. I know, crazy right? Well at any rate I’ll be discussing this week the things I’ve learned about weddings so that folks in the future can]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; So I’ve been reading Richard Dawkin’s “The Greatest Show on Earth”, interestingly for a guy who is constantly described as condescending and downright mean his book thus far has been really well thought out and pleasant. He’s barely mentioned faith at all and seemed to make an effort to separate faithful from “those people”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; For those curious about the last update, I’ve just been really tired with the incredibly up front racism that’s been on a few 24 hour news stations and the internet at large. Even my facebook has its fair share of “Snicker, Muslims==murderers&#38;&#38;rapists&#38;&#38;terrorists.” That sort of stuff is disheartening, you don’t want to think that]]></description>

We get enough unique visitors a day that if one was captured out of every 10 then there would be a noticeably community in a short period of time. &#160; It’s a matter of retention, my updates aren’t nearly as frequent]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I think from time to time, when I’m feeling extra grumpy, feeling a few decades older than I actually am that I’ll post what I like to call a “Rico the Grumpguin” talking about what makes or is making me grumpy. These are basically “rants”. These are extremely loosely written, they’ll likely be written]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[…in the sense that it’s single mindedly trying little more than to screw you. Though admittedly the college is looking to screw you financially, which for some is a whole lot more dastardly than a one night stand with “Chad” (Yeah we all know what you really want Chad). &#160; College tuition has been routinely]]></description>

The second is that Anderson Cooper appears to be an actual reporter, I admit that I need to see more of his]]></description>
