      <title>Reflecting</title>
      <link>http://soulphoto.net/index.php/Main/comments/reflecting/</link>
      <description>I&#8217;ve been dealing with a lot recently and my outlet for stress is poetry. I sometimes keep things bottled inside but on some occasions it helps me to put pen to paper to put things in perspective.</description>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reflecting
</p>
<p>
Here I sit reflecting
<br />
Reflecting in my cube of solitude
<br />
Looking at my world and life around me 
<br />
Things that affect me
</p>
<p>
Reflecting on my feelings, my hopes and my dreams
<br />
Reflecting on my past and my present
<br />
Trying to find out what it all means
</p>
<p>
Contemplating life without you
<br />
Contemplating life with you
<br />
Are they both interchangeable
<br />
Can I have my cake and eat it too?
</p>
<p>
Reflection is bringing about my perspective
<br />
Is it too late to start anew?
<br />
Do I look upon the boldly rising sun or squint into it not quite sure if I’m worthy
<br />
Worthy to work my way back to the being I once was 
<br />
The being who was able to move mountains, cross valleys, and overcome any adversity
</p>
<p>
Or do I just continue to sit here in my cube of solitude and continue to just be.
</p>
<p>
I think my reflecting has come to an end and I know what the end shall be.
<br />
To reflect no more and to stand strong and firm and end this cube of solitude and embrace the path I’ve chosen to deflect all past wrongs before and smile boldly 
<br />
Walk right through the door because my reflection is all done.
</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>From <a href="http://soulphoto.net/index.php?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.bbc.co.uk%2F2%2Fhi%2Fafrica%2F7542418.stm">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7542418.stm</a></p></blockquote>
<p>
Some 800,000 people died in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda
</p>
<p>
Rwanda has accused France of playing an active role in the genocide of 1994, in which about 800,000 people were killed.
</p>
<p>
A justice ministry report said France was aware of preparations for the genocide and helped train the ethnic Hutu militia perpetrators.
</p>
<p>
The report also accused French troops of direct involvement in the killings.
</p>
<p>
It named 33 senior French military and political figures that it said should be prosecuted. France has previously denied any such responsibility.
</p>
<p>
Among those named in the report were the late former president, Francois Mitterrand, and two former prime ministers, Dominique de Villepin and Edouard Balladur.

      <description>American Story: From bad hair day to pay day

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today’s American Story with Bob Dotson comes from Williamstown, N.J., where a teenager thinks she’s found the key to success. It’s not a question of being dealt a good hand, she says. It’s playing a bad hand well, over and over again.
</p>
<p>
I found Jasmine Lawrence watching her mom struggle to learn how to load a high speed-labeling machine. Shampoo bottles were spinning and sticking, their labels crooked. April Lawrence hung her head in frustration
</p>
<p>
&#8220;There&#8217;s a label stuck here.&#8221;
</p>
<p>
&#8220;Oh, Lord,&#8221; mutters Jasmine.&nbsp; 
</p>
<p>
She is living every kid&#8217;s dream. She gets to boss her mom.
</p>
<p>
&#8220;Hold the bottle up to here.&#8221; April works for her 16-year-old daughter.
</p>
<p>
&#8220;How&#8217;s that working out?&#8221; I smile. Jasmine’s mom laughs.
</p>
<p>
&#8220;A couple of times I thought she wanted to fire me!&#8221;

      <description>Bacon mania

Why are Americans so batty for bacon? It&#8217;s delicious, it&#8217;s decadent&#8212;and it&#8217;s also a fashion statement. 

By Sarah Hepola</description>
      <dc:subject>Blogging</dc:subject>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jul. 07, 2008 | I stumbled across an Internet link several months ago that made me gasp. At a time when Amy Winehouse implodes via RSS feed and Mini Me has a sex tape, genuine surprise is as hard to come by as affordable gas. But this link was fascinating and repellent at once. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce: the bacon bra. 
<br />
The bacon bra did its little cha-cha around the interweb for a good week last April, sparking debate about everything from the offensiveness of a naked woman covered in raw meat to the bra&#8217;s functionality&#8212;which, let&#8217;s face it, exists in that vast flyover between a Maidenform underwire and, umm, whipped cream. But what struck me most about the reactions, whether from online commenters or my own friends, was how they were shot through with a childlike giddiness that sounded something like this: &#8220;Ohmygod, baaaaacon.&#8221;

      <title>The unbearable whiteness of being</title>
      <link>http://soulphoto.net/index.php/Main/comments/the_unbearable_whiteness_of_being/</link>
      <description>Hilarious article from Salon Magazine.&amp;nbsp; The author of &#8220;Stuff White People Like&#8221; skewers the sacred cows of lefty Caucasian culture, from the Prius to David Sedaris. (Never heard of him)</description>
      <dc:subject>Blogging</dc:subject>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>July 5, 2008 | 
</p>
<p>
Stuff White People Like is a satirical blog about a particular segment of Caucasian culture. It&#8217;s like an extended &#8220;you might be a redneck if&#8221; joke recast for a more upscale set. It gently mocks the habits and pretensions of urbane, educated, left-leaning whites, skewering their passion for Barack Obama and public transportation (as long as it&#8217;s not a bus), their idle threats to move to Canada, and joy in playing children&#8217;s games as adults. Kickball, anyone? (A list of the white stuff is here.) 
</p>
<p>
It&#8217;s likely I don&#8217;t have to tell you about the Stuff White People Like site, because the odds are someone&#8212;someone white&#8212;has already forwarded it to you. Christian Lander, 29, who grew up in Toronto and now lives in Culver City, Calif., created the site to amuse his friends when he was working as the associate manager of corporate communications for an Internet agency last January. He doesn&#8217;t do that job anymore, because 32 million hits and a book deal later&#8212;&#8220;Stuff White People Like: The Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions&#8221; was published July 1&#8212;Lander&#8217;s become a professional mocker of whitey and himself.

<p>
Just how unrealistic must Fox News be before people start to see they are a bunch of fear mongers intent on turning this beautiful world into a police state.&nbsp; Why are they so afraid of anything non-blond and European?
</p>
<p>
Seriously folks, any self respecting American surely knows that this was the action performed by the &#8220;Wonder Twins&#8221; when about to transform into their task specific Super Identities.
