		<description><![CDATA[I should preface this article by stating that just like I&#8217;m not a lawyer or a doctor, I&#8217;m also not an economist. In fact I&#8217;ve never had even a single class on the subject. But sometimes I think the best ideas frequently come from those without knowledge of a subject that willing to ignore the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find it funny that so many people have been upset by President Obama having been given the Nobel Peace Prize. Somehow, everyone (myself included) seem to miss one vital point: he didn&#8217;t ask for it. There he was, simply sleeping the night away (probably with nightmares because of all the trials he&#8217;s undergoing) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been up for an hour, pondering the first bit of news I read for the day: President Obama has been given the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. I&#8217;m now sitting and waiting for his speech on the subject and pondering my opinion on the subject. The oddity of the prize comes from the fact that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, previously I got depressed about SMS conversations with AT&#038;T. I was then consoled and warned at the same time by my friend that I was not alone. And after his advice, and some other random advice from google results I decided to try the magic &#8220;stop&#8221; word. It is supposed to work when &#8220;no&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently posted my both funny and depressing text message conversation with AT&#038;T as a result of their spamming me (which, by the way, I still haven&#8217;t managed to turn off mostly because I gave up). A friend of mine (WY0X) gave me permission to post his recap of his on-the-phone conversations with AT&#038;T about [...]]]></description>

Many times, as I&#8217;ve said before, we have no control over when we&#8217;re forced into the waiting state. Other times, however, it&#8217;s just random chance that we [...]]]></description>
