			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love this show. I&#8217;m watching a couple of the episodes that I recorded on the DVR and I figured something out.</p>
<p>It seems like most of these weddings have a few things in common. There&#8217;s almost always a mud pit, a trailer, and lots of land.  Things that aren&#8217;t always present are guns and a full set of teeth.  I was surprised by the lack of guns, but not by the lack of teeth.</p>
<p>This one wedding I&#8217;m watching now, Vickie and Brandon&#8217;s wedding, Brandon is 24 and Vickie is 37. Brandon said that Vickie replaced his favorite cow that passed away just before he met Vickie.  Isn&#8217;t that sweet?</p>
<p>I love that Tom Arnold is the host, I don&#8217;t think that anyone else could pull off hosting this show.</p>
<p>There are lots of shenanigans on this episode. There&#8217;s hog nuts for appetizers, a canoe race, tractors, a mechanical bull and a tug of war with the requisite mud pit.</p>
<p>Ah, the joy, the rapture.</p>

<p>This kid is really enterprising.  I love that he wants to be a <a class="zem_slink" title="Politician" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politician" target="_blank">politician</a>, but it also makes me think that it may be a joke.</p>
<p>Apparently, this kid stole his dad&#8217;s <a class="zem_slink" title="Credit card" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card" target="_blank">credit card</a>, charged $30,000 on the thing and went to town with his friends.  They bought an x-box, some clothes, some other toys and the best thing that they bought:</p>
<p>Hookers.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, following in the foot steps of other politicians before them, these kids hired a couple of hookers to come to their hotel room.  Don&#8217;t worry, they didn&#8217;t do anything with the hookers, all they did was play video games with them.</p>
<p>I think when I was 13, I was pretty sheltered, and I had no idea what a hooker was.  Kids grow up fast nowadays, don&#8217;t they?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I just had another article published.  Does this mean that I get to call myself a writer now?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a link to the article in case you want to read it:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/707711/speedo_fastskin_lzr_racer_swim_suit.html" title="Speedo LZR Racer swim suit article" target="_blank">Speedo FastSkin LZR Racer Swim Suit </a></p>
<p>When I told Michelle about this, she said that it was great.  She said that I should try to work on my book about stories from the cab.  It&#8217;s been collecting digital dust on my hard drive for a few months now.  I told her that I felt that if these people were willing to pay me for my articles, then that must mean that I&#8217;m a somewhat decent writer which only encourages me to finish the book.  We shall see how it all turns out.</p>
