		<title>Missed Opportunity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Missed Opportunity
The evening of November 30th Los Angeles was hit with what to some was a crippling wind storm.  In some places sustained winds of 80mph and gusts of up to 100mph wreaked havoc on unprepared Angelinos.  The next day the aftermath was everywhere.  Fallen trees, broken branches, palm fronds strewn everywhere [...]]]></description>

		<title>The First Occupy LA More Than 160 Years Ago</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On August 13, 1846, early in the Mexican-America War, U.S. naval forces under Commodore Robert F. Stockton sailed into Los Angeles and raised the American flag without opposition. A small occupying force of 50 Marines, under Captain Archibald H. Gillespie, built a rudimentary barricade on what was then known as Fort Hill overlooking the small [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
September 18th 2006
The craziest thing I’ve ever seen on a baseball field.   Normally on any September 18th I’d be celebrating with empanadas and some of the old vino since its Chilean Independence Day.  On this occasion I was celebrating with Dodger Dogs and $10 beers.  Neither my mother nor I [...]]]></description>

		<title>30 days from 30</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As I approach this momentous milestone in my life I’ve thought back on many memories that have given me so many laughs over the years.  So many stories from different times in my life continue to be told over and over never once thinking; I need new stories.  I turn 30 in exactly 30 days [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pop Culture v.1.2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a slightly less obvious use of pop culture and the neighborhood council today, I posted on my facebook status another quote from Fight Club only this time 2 people got it it. Unfortunately nobody from the NC got it.  One person actually said he agreed with my comment.  Goes to show Chuck Palaniuks writing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Dull World Series</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Back in 2008 I suggested that Major League Baseball would benefit from an expanded playoff.  Recently I heard rumors which asked if adding more Wild Card teams would do the season justice.  This was not what I had in mind.
I believe one (1) more playoff series would be fantastic for ratings not to mention league [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pop Culture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It is a rare occasion when I ever have fun at neighborhood council meetings or events.  Granted, I didnt join the neighborhood council for its fun appeal and there have been some good times in the past.  Lately however it seems its been an epic drag.  I&#8217;ve taken to making pop culture references in my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Draft Dodgers Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

As the 2010 baseball season progresses and looms over my head like a Cambodian Mud Monkey ready to steal my soul once again, I look at my Dodgers and wonder ‘will this be the year?’  I took a careful look at our team and while the roster may have several solid, home-grown kids in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>DC next month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So I finally bit the bullet and booked my passage to Washington DC.  I wish I could say this was a pleasurable vacation trip but most likely I&#8217;ll be working my butt off advocating for a new park in Hollywood.  A park so special that my dream is for Hollywood residents to call it &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catching up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I tried to catch up on emails and work on the Slam.  I had over 400 unread emails sitting in my inbox.  While most were informational that required no response or were newsletters containing articles that I already knew their content based on tweets, it still tool a very long time to sift through [...]]]></description>
