		<description><![CDATA[&#160; So I’ve recently realized something that I’m sure many cellphone owners or Facebook users have come to know for quite some time: These games are terrible. What annoys me the most about them is the apparent non-game nature of them. These are secondary jobs, fund transfer programs, masked as games.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; There is a phenomenon is psychology, perhaps that’s too strong of a word, there is a part of our psychology that adapts as we grow older. The brain starts specializing all the tasks that it does throughout the day and will shave off the unnecessary information. We are left over time with a  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I’m incredibly disappointed in the internet right now. Let me tell you why, when I was in college we read about the psychology of the “Crazy Cat Lady” and some theories behind why (mostly) single women can find themselves growing old with a house full of cats.
&#160; The main study that seemed most  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; So I’ve been thinking about amnesia as of late. Partially because it is a strong facet of the protagonist in my story (very original I know) and because in my own life I’ve experienced it. I’m not melodramatic about it, I look at the experience as more of one married with fascination.
&#160; This will  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; So I went back for my follow up check at the Oral Surgeon. We momentarily discussed the amazing potency of their “light” form of local anesthesia. I went from answering the question “Do you like playing games?” or was it “Do you play games?” Something like that, I just recall the last words I  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is often a point made about the universe, about everything that is around us. The gist of the point is that “There is obviously a designer, a watch requires a watchmaker, and a universe run by laws must have a lawmaker.” This is very pleasing to the ear and to the mind as long as you don’t  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To say that I over think things would be an understatement of such proportions that it would be far beyond a lie. It is something that keeps me up many nights and causes me to think about situations that all others involved have long since forgotten.
I’ve noticed it all the more recently as I work  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Basically anyone who has read an article about politics has seen an astounding statement of just how “Out of Touch” the politicians involved are. When people talk about the efficiency of businesses versus government run operations there is a distinct separation of the two. As if there is some  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I’ve been on a journey of sorts through my life, to prove to folks that likely nothing is black and white. Now honestly, could something like “How many people are you?” be that complicated of a question? I mean obviously, you are one person, I am one person, it seems so simple.
