		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you stumble upon strangers playing bags on the street. And sometimes you talk to them. Sometimes they like you, and they give you beer, and you challenge them to a round of cornhole, and beat them. Sometimes you continue conversation while sipping whiskey in tea cups, and sometimes they give you their phone numbers. Sometimes the randomness of life is so very much worth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t take the bus to the train this morning because I would have had to wait 18 minutes, and I can walk the little-better-than half-mile to get to the train quicker than that. So walk I did. At 7:30 in the morning it had already cleared 85 degrees. It was muggy. Wearing a synthetic shirt, even if it was sheer, did not make it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Driving home from Northwest Indiana tonight, I got to admiring the sparkle-sparkle of skyscraper windows glittering like a treasure box of gems while driving up Lake Shore Drive. Whenever I see Chicago at night, especially the lit-up windows of skyscrapers, I think of being in high school, driving home from Great America at 1 in the morning with my brother and our friend Ken, completely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;there lived a little girl who believed in the magic and magnetism of true love. That sounds unreasonably sappy, but I&#8217;m giving myself to dating once again. I&#8217;m still trying the online thing, and I&#8217;m still going to events and talking to people. It&#8217;s all a work in progress, but the older I get the stronger this yearning for companionship becomes. It&#8217;s not a matter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I won&#8217;t lie. The month of June has been the worst month I&#8217;ve had in a long time. I&#8217;m now living in Chicago, which is exciting in its own right, but moving and preparing for the move and the aftermath of the move has had my mind racing into panic-mode. Anyone who helped me move in any capacity probably saw this. The week before I [...]]]></description>

It feels strange to be typing an entry on the computer. I&#8217;ve been so used to writing longhand in paper journals on the train. I&#8217;ve also taken up letter writing, sending cards, postcards and other randomness to family and friends. There are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I do. It&#8217;s pretty much all I&#8217;ve been doing lately. My life as a commuter. It&#8217;s weird. A degrading yet entitling kind of feeling. I spend two hours and thirty minutes on two trains (South Shore and CTA) every single weekday. It was pretty rotten at first, and in the beginning I thought about quitting, or at the very least closing my eyes and wishing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many know about the news, but it&#8217;s worth mentioning again. Late last week I was offered a front-end, designing position with a small company in Chicago. I start in two weeks, and while I haven&#8217;t worked a single day there yet, I believe it is going to be a place in which I can learn, thrive, and most of all, be creative. Also, turnover at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember calling my father late in January of last year, my fingers shaking over the keys of my cell phone, and asking him if he thought it would be foolish to resign from my job. I wanted to take time off. To do creative things. Deep inside myself I was afraid he would confirm my fears, and that I would be stuck forever in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the midst of the Snowpocalypse I have been ever-diligent in looking for a place to call &#8220;my employer.&#8221; I&#8217;ve graduated from job boards, now looking at individual websites of small creative shops, boutiques, and companies in Chicago. Last week I exhausted what few options I had here in Northwest Indiana. The more I think about it and the more that I look for places [...]]]></description>
