		<title>Ground Zero Mosque</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, wow. I guess I&#8217;m, like, 23 days behind on BEDA. Weird. Didn&#8217;t see that coming. However, if I write 29 blog posts in the next 6 days, it&#8217;ll still sort of be like I completed BEDA, right? Anyway, I was asked on Formspring today about my thoughts on the so-called mosque at ground zero, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Thousand Suns, The Catalyst, and You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today Linkin Park released The Catalyst, the first single from their upcoming album, A Thousand Suns. Linkin Park has been one of my favorite bands for the last decade. As I mentioned yesterday, many people who used to enjoy their music don&#8217;t hold them in very high regard anymore, but I&#8217;ve always found their music [...]]]></description>

		<title>BEDA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There appears to be a BEDA bandwagon, so I guess I&#8217;ll hop on. BEDA is Blogging Every Day in August, which means that I&#8217;ll be blogging every day for the next month, which isn&#8217;t true, because, knowing myself, I&#8217;ll blog for two or three days straight, then decide to do something else less productive with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Steppity Step Step</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know how it works for everyone else, but if you were to graph my maturity level over time, it wouldn&#8217;t be a straight line, rising to the right; it would look like a flight of stairs. I seem to undergo relatively little growth for long periods of time, until some large event happens [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Review: Alan Wake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently finished playing through Alan Wake for the Xbox 360, and have decided to jot down my feelings on the game. Out of the three of you who read this blog, I imagine the subject matter and depth of this post will be of interest to only one of you, so I won&#8217;t be [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Interview with John</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I met John in Portland, Oregon at the Northwest YouTube Gathering in 2009. He was 12 years old at the time, though it was immediately apparent that his brain operates at a level most people don&#8217;t achieve until after a few years of college. We had some stimulating conversation, and I left the gathering eager [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wandering Ponderings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think this is generally where I&#8217;m supposed to say something like, &#8220;Wow, it&#8217;s been a long time since I updated this,&#8221; or, &#8220;Sorry I haven&#8217;t posted in a while,&#8221; or, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been too busy,&#8221; etc, but the truth is that I haven&#8217;t too busy;  I kind of forgot my blog existed. I&#8217;ve always been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Tweet for Food!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To complete my mission for the Fiesta Movement this month, I have to spend an entire day relying on my Twitter followers to feed me. To be completely honest, I&#8217;m not thrilled about it, as e-begging is something that I generally try to stay away from, but if you&#8217;re interested in taking me out to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fiesta!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday, April 19th, I was dropped off in Venice, California to attend a top-secret Fiesta Movement mission briefing. I, along with roughly forty others, was ushered into a building and instructed to mingle and consume food.     I blacked out and the next thing I knew, I awoke in the driver&#8217;s seat of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Woes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I currently have a massive headache that is making it difficult for me to think effectively, so I&#8217;ll apologize in advance if this post ends up not flowing very well. As many readers of this blog will be aware, in addition to my personal channel, I have a channel called VlogRamen over on YouTube that [...]]]></description>
