		<title>A Fitting End (Or Beginning)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We note the major transitions in our lives at different times than the people living parallel to us or the society we live in. I can now say with a great sense of confidence and humility that I have reached the half point of my undergraduate university career. Being a student at Queen&#8217;s was always [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=optionaltoaster.wordpress.com&blog=3011302&post=42&subd=optionaltoaster&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Keep an eye on New Mexico, West Virginia, Virginia, Missouri, New Hampshire, and Michigan.

		<title>The Top 5 Worst Newscasters Ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is little doubt that among many popular journalists and newscasters that grace the national television broadcasting corporations, there are a select few members of the fourth estate who forgo not only journalistic integrity, but human decency as well. Many seek to cover their own biases by hiding behind labels such as &#8220;Progressive&#8221; or &#8220;Traditionalist&#8221; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=optionaltoaster.wordpress.com&blog=3011302&post=27&subd=optionaltoaster&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Top 5 Variations for Guitar Hero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my house mates recently got a Playstation game called &#8220;Rock Band&#8221; which is quite simply, the most paradoxically brilliant yet idiotic invention of the 21st century. It builds off of an earlier game called &#8220;Guitar Hero&#8221; which involves players pressing buttons and clicking a lever up and down on a fake plastic guitar.

As of today, I have four of my five term papers completed so I now have time to focus on more important matters, like presidential politics (ha!).
With the Republican nomination all but wrapped up, the attention of the media and the voters has shifted to the race for the Democratic nomination for president of the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=optionaltoaster.wordpress.com&blog=3011302&post=11&subd=optionaltoaster&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Thieves!: Experiencing A Break-In And Learning A Valuable Lesson In Forgiveness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago my apartment here in Kingston was broken into. My three house mates and I were away for the week (the only time we get off aside from Christmas) and we returned to find several hundred dollars worth of cash and electrical hardware stolen. One guy lost his laptop, another his ipod [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=optionaltoaster.wordpress.com&blog=3011302&post=10&subd=optionaltoaster&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Stuff That Old People Teach Us</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As young people we should never be ignorant to the lessons that we can learn from our elders. One of the lessons I was taught to live by as I grew up was to lead the kind of life that would give our grandparents confidence in our generation. While I know I&#8217;ve failed in more [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=optionaltoaster.wordpress.com&blog=3011302&post=9&subd=optionaltoaster&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The politics of Upstate New York: &#8220;Aubertine Upsets Barclay to Win Special Election&#8221; -MSNBC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who don&#8217;t know (and it&#8217;s ok if you don&#8217;t), New York State&#8217;s 48th Senate District held a special election two days ago. Such was the significance of this election that I just now remembered it was taking place. Actually, it is a big deal and it says something important about the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=optionaltoaster.wordpress.com&blog=3011302&post=6&subd=optionaltoaster&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Good. Here I am. I have a half an hour before I need to leave so I am going to use this time to outline what purposes, goals, and aims (three words that mean the same thing) I have for this blog.
