<description><![CDATA[Maybe inspired from the show Home improvement, or maybe my old dentist, Dr. Birch, but I'd like to build my own car.&#160; I'd love to have a place in a garage to just work on it for years slowly building it, making sure I'm doing it right, learning about how it all works.&#160; Having some friends come over and help me building it, taking some time for a beer or two.&#160; Maybe even having a son to help me work on it, and if we finished it around the time he was 16, it'd be his car.&#160; Too ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As I was walking to work this morning, a late 20 year old guy was washing his cadillac, and I intently made eye contact with him, waved, and said hi to him.&#160; Not entirely characteristic of me, but he was close enough to be my neighbor, so I wanted to be neighborly.&#160; As I was past the Family Dollar in the Hill District a few blocks away, a gentleman said as he passed me, &#34;How are you doing today, Sir?&#34;.&#160; He said it quickly and in too close proximity for me to look at him ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The slang &#34;going postal&#34; kind of slipped in under the radar if you ask me.&#160; What was a topical item in the 90s, is now just another idiom.&#160; I actually can't help but feel bad for the united states postal service.&#160; I can't think of anything they've done in recent years to preserve the meaning of the phrase.&#160; Maybe in 20 years from now, people will have to explain the origins of &#34;going postal.&#34;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Did you know that there is a wooden street in pittsburgh?&#160; Roslyn Place in Shadyside is the only one.&#160; It's hard to tell from the google street view, but you can certainly see the color.&#160; Here's an article on the history, or really, lack of historical knowledge.&#160; It's a historic landmark though, so it will be around for a while.
This reminds me of red dog roads.&#160; Know what those are?&#160; Red dog was a biproduct of mining that was used to pave roads.&#160; It was a red]]></description>

<title>As I lay in my bed and it storms outside</title>

<description><![CDATA[Watching the wind blow by
Watching the clouds cover the sky
Watching the rain camouflage tears
Watching the leaves wither with fears.

Hearing the wind rattle the screens
Hearing the rain fall like beans
Hearing the thunder dampen screams
Hearing this storm, interrupts my dreams.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I woke up today and this song was in my head.&#160; I have never had this song in mp3, and I have no idea when the last time I ever heard it.&#160; I can't even say that I think it's a great song.&#160; But it was repeating in my head.
