			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i&#8217;ve won and i&#8217;ve lost</p>
<p>i&#8217;ve loved and been loved</p>
<p>i&#8217;ve accepted and rejected<br />
and in turn been accepted and rejected</p>
<p>i&#8217;ve been ambitious, opportunistic while at the same time lazy and idle</p>
<p>i have pushed and been pushed against, pressed and pressed against</p>
<p>i have fallen because of my own pride;<em> humbled in light of my best achievements </em></p>
<p>i have used others selfishly, betrayed friends, loved ones, family<br />
while all along others have been using and betraying me</p>
<p>i have jumped, leaped, pounced, dove<br />
sometimes all for <strong>good</strong>, sometimes all for <strong>me</strong>, sometimes i just don&#8217;t know</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">Here&#8217;s the deal&#8230;<br />
everything evens out</span>; there is hope for the hopeless, acceptance for the rejected, strength for the weak, love for the unloved, salvation for the lost, forgiveness for the unforgivable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Web Designer,</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t make me think. Don&#8217;t make me wonder, question or dare make me explore to find what I&#8217;m looking for&#8230;until you&#8217;ve pulled me first.</p>
<p>Here are my list of demands for every site you create:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tell me what&#8217;s important, what&#8217;s not. I&#8217;m talking <span style="font-size: 26px">big</span> and <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">o b v i o u s</span></strong></li>
<li>Navigation is not a Rubik&#8217;s cube, if I can&#8217;t figure out how or where to go to find it, I&#8217;m out</li>
<li>Search bar that&#8217;s relevant, if I ever think of searching through your pages.</li>
<li>Readability, make text easily readable, none of this <span style="background-color: #ff0000; color: #a00685;">nonsense</span></li>
<li>You have 5, maybe 10 seconds to tell me who and what you are. More importantly, why I should spend that next second on your site.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Thanks,</em><br />
<strong>CitizenConnelly</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think this is one of my better writings from my college days.</p>
<blockquote><p>Busy, temperamental, depressing, chaotic,<br />
so sadness mixed with gladness,<br />
i&#8217;ve become the <strong>maddest</strong>.</p>
<p>Thus is the mind of I, a confusing, perplexed, hodgepodge amalgamate group of moiety; medietas thoughts, ideas, hopes, dreams, aspirations,<br />
medietas reflections, personas, patterns, filters, blocks, buttons, triggers, intellectual stimuli</p>
<p>Everyday another chess game i play,<br />
everyday another battle that i face,<br />
everyday another this another that,<br />
everyday its a shame it may end someday.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take this to heart,<br />
it was never meant for you to be read,<br />
instead,<br />
oh instead<br />
these are the thoughts in my head.</p>
<p>This was fun,<br />
it was great,<br />
random things,<br />
come to mean,<br />
nothing i can escape.</p></blockquote>
