		<title>Upcoming Shows &amp; Stuffs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good evening my lovely friends. I haven&#8217;t been up to blogging much over the past &#8211; oh &#8211; 8 months or so. It&#8217;s been a steady fall, I&#8217;ve featured at Eggroll Cafe in Lowell and at the Asian American Center at Northeastern. And I&#8217;ve got a few more coming up, with info below.

		<title>Life, Love, and Basketball</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life, Love, and Basketball (a sestina) For a lifetime, this has been his team. Seventeen championships &#8211; four of which he has seen &#8211; they are without peer. An obsession for him: no matter where he has lived, he dreamed imaginary ballgames, along with careers and families. Now the title of “father” is a reality. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top 10 Favorite Lines from Posdnuos in De La Soul Songs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Onward with the nerd lists about subjects I have no credentials to talk about. For some reason, like I think the world wants to hear what I have to say about &#8220;Confessions of a Shopaholic&#8221; (surprisingly awesome) &#8211; so it&#8217;s time for another list of personal favorites that will appeal to 3 and a half [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decade Wrap-Up: Top Twelve Spoken Word Pieces of the 00s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is kinda controversial. Not to anyone else &#8211; just to me. It&#8217;s hard to pick my favorite spoken word pieces of the last decade because the thing that makes me love them is so personal. It might be the presentation, the wordplay, the structuring &#8211; or it could be a lot harder to pin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decade Wrap-Up: Top Ten Live Shows of the 00s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m listing the best live performances I&#8217;ve seen in the Zeroes. It struck me while writing this: I have not seen many live shows aside from my friends&#8217; performances. Ah well. By the way, i&#8217;m not including like theater or sporting events or dance shows and the like. You know what I&#8217;m saying? This is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decade Wrap-Up: Top Seven Commercials of the Decade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was gonna try to come up with 10, but it&#8217;s too hard. My memory is mad spotty &#8211; plus I don&#8217;t really pay that much attention to commercials unless they&#8217;re dope. So top seven it is. By the way, I don&#8217;t watch much TV except sports, so&#8230;uh&#8230;take that for what it&#8217;s worth. 7. Cog [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decade Wrap-up: Top Ten Albums of the 00s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[10. Musicology, Prince (2004) Prince&#8217;s best album in more than 10 years. When he released this, all I could think was &#8220;music is back!&#8221; Then again, I probably would not have picked it up if they hadn&#8217;t been passing it out at his concerts. The big revelation was that he was ready to come back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decade Wrap-up: Top Ten Movies of the 00s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t hear anybody talking about how the decade is coming to a close. When it was 1999, mad people were freaking out over the Y2K. But even in 1989, going into the 90s was a big deal. And I&#8217;m sure it was the same in 1979. But people aren&#8217;t tripping over 2009 becoming 2010. [...]]]></description>

		<title>BET Hip Hop Award Cipher: Mos, Thought, Em</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mos kills it. Eminem and Black Thought might have the punchlines, but Mos strangles this to life. Primo on the turns. BTW, ten years ago, this would have been crazy, but now that these dudes are all like 35+ years old, it&#8217;s that much better. There&#8217;s a lot more weight to their verses than I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top 10 Favorite Boston Celtics Players</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like pro sports, and the NBA in particular. I am not blind to the way it replicates exploitative systems from larger society &#8211; but in the same way we can appreciate a clever political campaign, a day of unexpected beautiful weather, or a well-crafted children&#8217;s picture book &#8211; so too do I appreciate watching [...]]]></description>
