		<title>Worst Fear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember Art Berg (deceased), one of my favourite NSA speakers, saying that most things we fear never come to pass. In recent times, that statement gave me a sense of hope.
The only problem is, sometimes they do.
One of my biggest fears while I was growing up, was falling hopelessly in love with a girl, [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Is A Team?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s my 26th birthday soon, and this year I plan on doing something. Wish me a good one.  
Now, I&#8217;ve had one nagging question that has gone unanswered for a long time, and now it&#8217;s time for me to air my views. The question is, what is a team?
I&#8217;ve had three commercial permanent jobs [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Be Cared For</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know, just as well nobody reads (or at least, comments) on my weblog entries; this one&#8217;s going to be very personal.
I guess you could call me lucky or fortunate, because I&#8217;m the type of person who - despite being overweight and out of energy a lot - hasn&#8217;t had to stay in a hospital [...]]]></description>

		<title>Failure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to share this quote, posted by a YouTube user named DigBreamer:

Deep, eh?
The truth is that failure is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, failure is one of the most important things we can have, as people who are constantly developing.
Yet, the act of failing is stigmatised beyond proportion. You only have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manipulative Language: &#8220;not working, pls fix&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, the title text is classed as an acceptable bug report in my current workplace.
I&#8217;m not joking; I&#8217;ve been sent this so-called bug twice before, albeit not recently. Since then, other equally vague &#34;bug reports&#34; have cropped up.
But I can&#8217;t retailiate curse at the people responsible, or throw it back at them [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are You Sure?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just now, at work, I received a &#34;bug&#34; (read: feature request) to add those &#34;are you sure&#34; dialogue boxes to a script.
(If you&#8217;re unaware, at the place I&#8217;m currently working everything is a &#34;bug&#34;. You might work in such a company.)
The prompts would come up when moving and removing items from a category, and it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arrogant Tough Love - Debunked</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At my current workplace, there&#8217;s a printout stuck to someone&#8217;s wall with a summary of a speech, allegedly given by Bill Gates at a high school.
It basically highlighted eleven &#34;points&#34;: all of which were the typical, sometimes truthful but intentionally spiteful &#34;tough love&#34; platitudes given by arrogant high achievers. The first of these was the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flea Market Montgomery REMIX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I revealed to YouTube that Chadwarden put out a remix of the infamous song It&#8217;s Just Like A Mini Mall, performed by Sammy Stephens (owner of Flea Market Montgomery):

But only this morning, Chadwarden hit us all with some surprising news:

		<title>&#8220;Otherculturalism&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In less than a month&#8217;s time, the Mayor of London - and I hope to God it&#8217;s a new one - will be elected.
Last week, the almost unbelievable happened: a leaflet from the BNP was sent in the post, addressed to nobody in particular. Of course, I didn&#8217;t know it was from them until I [...]]]></description>
