		<title>Made in China, er Minnesota</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its common knowledge that most products in a store are Made in China.
I try my damndest not to purchase those items. As well as Indonesia, India, Taiwan, etc. I understand the arguments for globalization, but I still want to consume goods made in the USA or Europe, where labor standards are considerably better. Hence why most of [...]]]></description>

		<title>White Men Can&#8217;t Sing the Blues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve already railed about the fact that I couldn&#8217;t find one Jim Thompson book at the local bookstores. NOT ONE! But there were three stacks of hardcovers by that poster-child for commercialized intellectualism&#8230;That pretentious megaphone for self-important intellectuals hiding their own insecurities&#8230; Mr. David Sedaris. 
Three stacks. Three feet high. And not one copy of [...]]]></description>

		<title>All Good Comes from Patience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Just a rant)
The Great Recession. Who is to blame? The socialist liberals or the imperialistic neo-cons? In politics, I suppose that answer depends on which team you belong. Its easy to blame the other party. But, the more you blame the ills of the country solely on the other party, the more your own party [...]]]></description>

		<title>I just wanted some eggs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And I got three little sparrows tattooed on me instead&#8230;
I had breakfast with a friend who is a tattoo artist. All I wanted to do was sponge my over-easy eggs with wheat toast, and then this happened&#8230;

		<title>The Passive Voice &#8211; A Taoist Writer&#8217;s Friend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;active voice&#8221; often eludes me.
So the &#8220;passive voice&#8221; weaves its way into my narratives.
Get it?
Anyway, I got a rejection letter today for my story, &#8220;She Works on Tuesdays.&#8221; The editors gave me some very detailed feedback, for which I am always quite grateful. But this time, the rejection actually confirmed what I was trying [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Killer Inside Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was about fifteen years old, I read Larry Bird&#8217;s biography. I forget the name, but I remember it said that he started &#8220;hitting his shots&#8221; when he was fourteen&#8230;As a bench-ridden basketball player, that made me start practicing alone in a neighbors driveway everyday for the next year.
But I never did master the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago my best friend Odin died. He had a heart attack at ten years of age. The morning it happened, I raced him to the fire station at 60mph through the residential streets. The paramedics couldn&#8217;t revive him.
I took his fat, furry body home and cried over it. Not wanting to let [...]]]></description>
