    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desiderata &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go placidly amid the noise and haste,&lt;br /&gt;and remember what peace there may be in silence.&lt;br /&gt;As far as possible without surrender&lt;br /&gt;be on good terms with all persons.&lt;br /&gt;Speak your truth quietly and clearly;&lt;br /&gt;and listen to others,&lt;br /&gt;even the dull and the ignorant;&lt;br /&gt;they too have their story. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Avoid loud and aggressive persons,&lt;br /&gt;they are vexations to the spirit.&lt;br /&gt;If you compare yourself with others,&lt;br /&gt;you may become vain and bitter;&lt;br /&gt;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep interested in your own career, however humble;&lt;br /&gt;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.&lt;br /&gt;Exercise caution in your business affairs;&lt;br /&gt;for the world is full of trickery.&lt;br /&gt;But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;&lt;br /&gt;many persons strive for high ideals;&lt;br /&gt;and everywhere life is full of heroism. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Be yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Especially, do not feign affection.&lt;br /&gt;Neither be cynical about love;&lt;br /&gt;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment&lt;br /&gt;it is as perennial as the grass. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take kindly the counsel of the years,&lt;br /&gt;gracefully surrendering the things of youth.&lt;br /&gt;Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.&lt;br /&gt;But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.&lt;br /&gt;Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.&lt;br /&gt;Beyond a wholesome discipline,&lt;br /&gt;be gentle with yourself. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are a child of the universe,&lt;br /&gt;no less than the trees and the stars;&lt;br /&gt;you have a right to be here.&lt;br /&gt;And whether or not it is clear to you,&lt;br /&gt;no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Therefore be at peace with God,&lt;br /&gt;whatever you conceive Him to be,&lt;br /&gt;and whatever your labors and aspirations,&lt;br /&gt;in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,&lt;br /&gt;it is still a beautiful world.&lt;br /&gt;Be cheerful.&lt;br /&gt;Strive to be happy. &lt;/p&gt;

    <title>What are the rules for hugging?</title>

    <content type="html">I mean like during the holidays when you see all the people you haven't seen in ages. I always end up hugging the wrong people (the ones that clearly don't want to be hugged) or hugging the wrong way: picture two cheeks facing each other. So yes, I'm nerdy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But on another note I want to wish you all a:&lt;br /&gt;MERRY CHRISTMAS&lt;br /&gt;&amp;&lt;br /&gt;HAPPY NEW YEAR!!&lt;br /&gt;Eat to your heart's content. Give something to an unprivileged kid/family/person. &lt;br /&gt;ah.</content>

    <content type="html">Hi &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been exactly a week since my last update so I'm doing good. :)What has happened since then? hmmm lets see...I'm 22! Thank God. I actually feel older. And thats not so bad but I do feel like I need to have done more things(be more independent) by this age. But thats okay because God is in control. I know that all I need to do is stay close to God and all will be fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a sadder note, Nigeria was hit with 2 tragedies last sunday. A passenger flight from Lagos to Abuja(the capital)crashed. In addition to that, the First Lady passed away due to complications of surgery. While I wasn't directly affected by the two tragedies, I send my heartfelt sympathy to the families and friends of the victims. I hope all those who  passed away Rest In Peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, I feel a little out of touch with LJ and people on my list. I want to get back into commenting!! And there's nothing stopping me but I practically have the internet for 4hrs and there's so much to do on the net before it expires for the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...or maybe I'm just being lazy :(</content>
