		<description><![CDATA[No, that&#8217;s not my bleak sentiment for the day, as fun as it is to remember ever-encroaching mortality. Nope, the title is coincidentally the title of a Type O Negative song. Their front-man Peter Steele died last week.
His death has sort of brought to a head lots of ideas swirling around in my head.

Like most people, Michael and I are looking for ways to cut costs. We called our current cable company and ended up getting a reduced rate for the same services when we said we wanted to cut services. We&#8217;re trying to stop eating out entirely, a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written before about driving. I&#8217;ve also written about how the one trait I hate most about anyone is presumption. I think speeding and presumption go hand-in-hand.
Here&#8217;s my rant:
The speed limit is generally regarded to be the maximum limit. Meaning, it is not meant to be the speed at which you drive, but the speed [...]]]></description>

Michael got a comment this weekend that spurred my thoughts, but it wasn&#8217;t an unusual comment or even one that I &#8211; at some point in my life &#8211; would not [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s because everything eventually sucks. Secondarily, it&#8217;s because it takes people a long time to figure out that something sucks.
If you think I&#8217;m going to go [...]]]></description>

Which is a shame because I do spend a lot of time considering my mental health and the nature of happiness in general.

If you&#8217;re like me, you just choked on your morning coffee or slim-fast. But not so quickly &#8211; his website of published musings shows how thoughtful he is.

		<description><![CDATA[I read an article on alternet.org about avoiding marriage.  I write short declarative sentences.
I disagreed with it. As I often do.
I see this sentiment everywhere: how does one maintain individuality within a marriage?
The short answer: You don&#8217;t, at least, not in so many words.
But what I mean is this &#8211; at some point, we [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve condensed a few warning signs that a follower of any movement should probably get out of the fold ASAP. Interestingly enough, many of these are [...]]]></description>
