		<description><![CDATA[I am launching my new photography portafolio website today! This is something which I have been thinking of doing for quite sometime and finally, now that I had some free time, I managed to slap something together. Which by the way I have to admit, I am quite happy how that got slapped.  Not too shabby if I say so myself. I am very excited and hope you take the chance to  check it out it share your opinions!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coca-Cola is a North American media darling and is currently the brand most recognized in the entire world. A friendly, bright &#038; perennial brand, normally associated with having a good time with good friends. They have spend hundreds of millions of dollars to achieve this very goal. So very far removed from the reality of this media empire's hundreds of alleged kidnappings, torture and murder of union leaders who tried to improve working conditions in Colombia, Guatemala and Turkey.]]></description>

Okay. So while sipping green tea in my lonely apartment, a friend of mine rang me out of the blue and asked &#8216;So, what are you bringing to the birthday party?&#8217; Surprised by such forwardness, I answered the only way I could, with a heartfelt, &#8216;Who the hell is this?&#8217; [...]]]></description>

Ever since I was a kid and started burning eggs while learning how to cook, I realized I truly enjoyed doing creative works. As such, and finally, 15+ years later I decided to try my hand at photography. As luck would have it I got a Canon A-series camera a few years ago as a [...]]]></description>

This is one of my first *real* paintings where I actually tried to convey a message. The &#8216;Sandman&#8217; is a piece where the observer might not be sure at what exactly they are looking at. Whether it is a wineglass or a hourglass, a&#160;surreal&#160;bowler hat adds to the anthropomorphic work and asks to be open [...]]]></description>

A few weeks ago, I attended a star-studded and relatively new European Film Festival held in the glorious&#8230;well, actually my ancient-locally-owned independent movie theater about twenty minutes from my house&#8230; and on top of that, the screenings were free. So&#8230;maybe it was not all that but you really couldn&#8217;t go wrong with that.
Anyway, one of [...]]]></description>

One of most interesting developments in the Human condition occurred in the small-backwater-town of Enfield, England, just 16.3km from Charing Cross, 18.8km from the London Stone and in case you are an abradant cockney, 18.9km from St. Mary-le-Bow, you dandy city-folk.
