		<title>Why is Inspiration short-lived?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
well despite what some people may think, i&#8217;m always trying to better myself as a person. I think we all strive (hopefully) to better ourselves one way or the other. We all have those times when we feel a fire within us to achieve our inner goals and become who we can be &#8230;yada yada, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie: Cash Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I hadn&#8217;t heard about this movie, but upon stumbling on the dvd cover, i was intrigued. For some reason, it was placed under comedy, when it would more appropriately be called a romantic fiction. Nonetheless, Cash Back was indeed a treat. it is a british movie and the humor may be a bit off but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do Vegetarians eat animal shaped candy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://xantosw.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/hot-linked-image-cacher/upload//files/2008/07/gummibears.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="161" /></p>
<p>Completely random&#8230;but do vegetarians eat animal shaped candy? like there may be nothing wrong with it, its just candy right? but look at it from a hypocritical point of view. one thing that we can all agree on is how we eat gummy bears. you will all agree that at one time during your consumption of these furless gooey creatures, you start off by biting off the head first and then eating the rest of the body whole&#8230;isn&#8217;t that just barbaric. if you eat meat, there is nothing wrong with that, but if you are a vegetarian, isn&#8217;t there a sense of conflict. shouldn&#8217;t you feel guilty for acting out you inner cannibal. this sounds silly but there is a subconcious truth here.</p>
<p>secondly WHY are bears a common animal shaped candy?! like look at the package for teddy graham</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://xantosw.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/hot-linked-image-cacher/upload//ekmps/shops/statesidecandy/images/choc_teddy_grahams.jpg" alt="" width="282" height="199" /></p>
<p>i was just randomly thinking, about the obsession some people have with animal shaped foods. Why hasn&#8217;t the PETA complained about it? ya no animals are being hurt, but in principle, shouldn&#8217;t they have a problem with this lol. i really dont care i love meat and bears of all shapes sizes and flavors, but i just felt there was a lil something funny about vegetarians who like em.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s gonna be my next question  to the next vegetarian i see: &#8220;Do you eat animal shaped candy?&#8221;</p>
