		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy writing. Sometimes I write a blog comment on some random blog because I am looking forward to stringing the words together. Connecting ideas like a Lego castle. I have to remind myself of this when my novel is broken down into chunks that look a great deal like homework assignments.

When you have writers block, it's about not being able to find the words to match your ego. Unfortunately, you need a hefty ego to write a novel. It's a huge fucking task and you need the possibility of greatness as a carrot on the end of the stick. The problem becomes that we let the ego frame the questions we're asking. Instead of just telling a story or writing a sentence, we ask the pen to produce the most brilliant and witty thing ever written. No wonder we spend so much time staring at blank paper.

But pulling out in front of a cyclist when it is fifty-five degrees, raining, and the sky is fraught with enough wind to knock a Geo Metro off the freeway? [...]

		<description><![CDATA[At long last, here is the list of the Hottest Remixes of 2009. How was this list made? Songs were judged by their propensity for eliciting ass-shaking, uncontrollable head-bobbing and shout outs to your deity of choice. I narrowed further by including only remixes, thus no mashups or straight-out hot dance songs. Also, every song was to the best of my research actually produced in 2009...since you can't exactly look this stuff up on Amazon. Final judging was done by listening to the list backwards to ensure that each song is indeed just that much finer than the last. This is an exercise that is highly recommended.

While many will bravely take their birthday spankings, no secular ritual seems to incite more whining than that of the New Year&#8217;s Resolution. Those who do not participate do so with scorn and derision, you can almost see the spit fly from their lips with their ready quip about why they are better than such [...]
