		<title>After &#8216;Catcher in the Rye&#8217;**</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Do I hate everyone, everything as much as Holden?
&#8212;
Posted this in 5th of November 2008, after reading Catcher in the Rye, quite obviously. I am reposting this in honor of its creator JD Salinger, who, today, has gone on recluse forever.  But he lives on, he does.

		<title>&#8220;Be young or die. That was my plan.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I judge little-known (at least, known little by me, for who knows they&#8217;re like huuuge somewhere, some time) books by their first lines.Well, that&#8217;s my way of convincing myself to buy it (you know, when Oprah isn&#8217;t there. hah! I kid, i kid.), especially if I didn&#8217;t have the money to buy, or had prior [...]]]></description>

by this white mist-
ghosts of my yore,
supposedly-
waltzing into oblivion
numb
apparitions

		<description><![CDATA[Sizzling,
you are swathed
with that rich scarletsaccharin.
You draw little boys
towards that filling
essence of sweetsoft pulp
that’s you,
delectable.
Hungrily
and withoutmercy,
they savor you,
after shelling out
a few bucks.
A quite fair deal.
For you have filled them,
satisfied their childishcravings
complemented their scantiness,
stained their lips.

		<title>You Walk Away** Cold and Empty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And quite annoyed and furious with the filmmakers for this crap. I was expecting to join in a cacophony of applause at the end of the film, but everyone just sort of fled from the cinema fast and without even staying a bit to savor the lingering after taste of a film well done, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Can&#8217;t Help It**</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Told myself to refrain from buying books here in Bahrain because once I start doing so, it&#8217;ll be a buying frenzy thereon. I could live with that actually. The thing is I don&#8217;t want to have a container-van-full of books once I get out off of this beige patch of land. But then again life [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pinch Me***</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here I go again.
There&#8217;s a pain that can be relieved. With Mefenamic Acid. Aspirin. Paracetamol. There&#8217;s a pain that can be soothed. With dark chocolate. Vanilla ice cream. Alcohol. Massage. Sex. There&#8217;s a pain that can be suppressed. with further pain. Cuts on the wrists. Heads bouncing off walls. Creative ink injections on skin.
But it [...]]]></description>

		<title>At First Sight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Blindness is precious. People should be raving about this movie. I mean, the smart artistic ones at least, art film buffs. Those who loved Cidade de Deus. And Fernando Mereilles. And Saramago, the NObel Laureate writer of the book the film is based from.
The making shouldn&#8217;t be missed either. It just completes the whole creative [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m thinking. Story ideas, mostly. I got one. Something depressing. Revolves around an exit plan. Something that I&#8217;m feeling strongly right about now and most every day these days. This may perhaps be my very gracious departure I am concocting on. Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps. Okay so there&#8217;s another one. Something that I&#8217;ve already made a [...]]]></description>
