		<title>12 Things to Write About in Your Heroik Fitness Journal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I often get asked about how I stay motivated to stay fit. My not-so-secret method is that I put forth a real effort into connecting to my health and fitness, in as many ways as I possibly can, to my happiness and everything I wish to achieve. I constantly find subtle ways to remind myself of the interdependencies between my health,fitness, and my happiness &#38; productivity. One of the most under-utilized, under-appreciated and most important tool I use: a fitness [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Users are impressed by Apple&#8217;s  shiny design and interface of its  devices. They become familiar with interface accepts storefront  condition as norm and before the user knows they have surrendered their  freedom and control for a censored, limited, media device.

		<title>Apple&#8217;s New Focus: Closed Computing-Because You Don&#8217;t Know Better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Steve Jobs &#38; Apple recently  unveiled the iPad, essentially, a big iPod touch. But the big revelation was not the device or the innovative hardware used to make it so efficient. They real shocker was that Apple came out and said that they believe the future of computing is in &#8220;closed devices&#8221;.
What is  a closed device? One that you wouldn&#8217;t want. Imagine having an exotic car that comes with a driver. It is very high performance and looks [...]]]></description>

		<title>5 Tricks and Tools To Becoming a Better Communicator  More Loving Spouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Valentine&#8217;s Day is just around the corner, and for many of us it may mark the end of a relationship. It is the #1 dump day. So I thought I&#8217;d put together a short list of resources that I have personally turned to for self-help within a relationship. I find a deeper understanding from re-reading things and feel that it is always good to surround ourselves with positive influences.
A constant commitment to self-improvement will always be worth the effort no [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Needs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was born and raised in a world at war with words and emotions. Where others had nurturing parents and cushy nests to perch on, I was the concrete jungle cub learning to run with the wolves and how to fight, how to kill, how to take what I  needed to survive. Asking for anything you needed, new shoes, lunch money,  a ride to a soccer match, no matter how petty, it warranted a low, rumbling growl and quick snapping [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grumpy Guy at the Dog Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I discovered today that I need complete silence in my immediate little slice of personal space- order to be able to read. I had it for a while until 2 cows and their unholy offspring came into my shade, mooing incessantly and in perfect sync with the little ones. Between the whining and cud chewing, I couldn&#8217;t make out a syllable or digest a sentence. The dumb cows attracted the rest of the heard and before I knew it, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the woods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke up with the giant redwoods with their ancient columns and patterns long warn and filed away by the elements. Walking among their vaulted halls and cathedrals with endless skylights.
I feel at home in the fairytales of these great beanstalks. I wonder where they&#8217;d take me if I were to climb further. I&#8217;ve missed these magical and sweet things. 
The city sells me pretty things, sexy things, shallow things, loud things, always new and always so used things but [...]]]></description>

		<title>1st Post Card-Skipping Town</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m skipping town tomorrow; a boy and his dog chasing adventure, making up the story as we go along. He&#8217;ll bark at me about politics and do a horrible job of pointlessly pointing outside my field of view.  While he navigates, I&#8217;ll fantasize about the court testimony I&#8217;d give if I let him drive. The inevitable questions and shock when I seriously account for my faith in the dog&#8217;s ability to do a better job driving than your average 19 [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Desolation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My stories and songs are rarely my own. I am not at the epicenter of all my adventures, thank god. Sometimes it is I who am Poncho, just a single line, the boy and his dog that play witness to some other crazy bastard tilting head at windmills, conquering cliffs and imaging laying siege to castles. I enjoy paving way and serving as a lone audience to the building legends and comedies of other romances. Out here I get to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fun in the Wild</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is all I know of home. My father told me it&#8217;s the best place to talk to God  and where you can hear God talk back to you. he and I have much to talk about and sort out. I don&#8217;t yet claim to know him in the way that others do, and know that I speak perhaps only to myself, subconscious but here I find center. Here, I still believe he is paying attention somewhere, compassionately laughing at [...]]]></description>
