		<title>Maybe Buddha was Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been 28 years of life and I think I am closer to what I have been looking for than ever. That constant search for whatever more was outside my window has died down.  I find myself looking more within, being more content with what I have rather than what I want. And it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Nation under Canada</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ll be the first to admit, I did not watch the U.S. Open.  I’m still of the mind that golfers should run after the ball after hitting it, but I digress.  What I took away from the 2011 U.S. Open is the same as most people who heard about it second-hand: NBC omitted “Under God” [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Free Speech&#8221; &#8211; You Keep Using that Phrase</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dana Loesch brought Andrew Sullivan&#8217;s take on the Wonkette situation to my attention.   In his post, Sullivan said: I feel as queasy about this flexing of Palinite muscle as I do about the original, disgusting, asinine story. In some ways, I see a legitimate come-uppance for a tacky site that published a simply inexcusable [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do As I Say, Not as I Do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is always easier to give advice or mandates for others than to actually do it.  I am guilty of such and I am sure that many of us are.  But, when I do it, it does not hit as hard as, say, when the President does it. President Obama&#8217;s energy plan includes encouraging Americans [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cosmetic Application of the First Amendment (or &#8220;I Cast a Spell on You&#8221;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past week has been an eye-opener for me when it comes to protecting the rights under the two religion clauses of the First Amendment.  You know the two I&#8217;m talking about: &#8220;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.&#8221;  The Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Other Side</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been four and a half days since I completed the California Bar Examination.  To say I haven&#8217;t done much is an understatement.  I think today was actually the first day where I went beyond a 5-mile radius from my room.  Most of the time has been spent watching seasons of The West Wing and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Perfect Timing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While looking for blank paper to start another performance test, I happened to come across random writing to myself. It&#8217;s from a lifetime ago. Before I went to law school and in the midst of preparing to take the LSAT. I just have to laugh at the similarities. Here it is:]]></description>

		<title>Countdown: 6 Days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s this blog post going around the interwebs which details one person&#8217;s frustrations in connection with the California bar exam. Many of my fellow law school friends have re-posted it, relating to it&#8217;s general message. Which is: &#8220;Don&#8217;t tell me I am going to pass.&#8221; I understand the sentiment. Three days ago, I said that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Countdown: 9 Days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the final lectures, we were told that our role is not to determine whether we will pass or fail the bar, but to show the minimum competency required to be a lawyer in the state of California. Ever since that impart, I&#8217;ve been trying to keep my mind off whether I am right or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pacific Ties: An Ode to SPAM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SPAM.  No, I am not talking about the hundreds of junk email that you receive on a daily basis.  I am talking about the pink meat that comes in the blue can. First introduced to the American public in 1937 as “HORMEL Spiced Ham”, SPAM has survived the Great Depression, World War II, the psychedelic [...]]]></description>
