      <title>New Years resolutions</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Christmas is over, and I&amp;#8217;m already thinking about New Years resolutions.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;So, for 2009:&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;take more risks&lt;br&gt;
don&amp;#8217;t play it as safe&lt;br&gt;
there are some limits:&lt;br&gt;
don&amp;#8217;t be stupid&lt;br&gt;
do acts of good&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;talk more, write more, read more&lt;br&gt;
put yourself out there&lt;br&gt;
hold yourself accountable to your goals&lt;br&gt;
by publicly stating them&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;do things in small steps,&lt;br&gt;
incremental goals towards the future&lt;br&gt;
stay focused&lt;br&gt;
be disciplined&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;aim to be early&lt;br&gt;
be consistent&lt;br&gt;
but consistently seek to randomize&lt;br&gt;
live life fuller&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;plan more trips&lt;br&gt;
reach out more often to friends&lt;br&gt;
get in touch with old ones&lt;br&gt;
keep current ones current&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;remember more birthdays&lt;br&gt;
screw going to sleep on time&lt;br&gt;
make more music&lt;br&gt;
try new food&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;get closer to stream of consciousness&lt;br&gt;
self moderate less&lt;br&gt;
edit revise rework&lt;br&gt;
go to bed already&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>"New Years resolutions" by nap</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Amen brotha. Life can&amp;#8217;t be enjoyed without some tangible risk. I&amp;#8217;m hoping to jump off of a few bridges myself this year.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
