			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes I say things that I regret (more like often).  The very nature of having a blog means that some of the things I post are going to make me look and sound like an idiot.  Many times, I change my mind on things, whether it be because I acquire new information, experience something that causes me to switch my views, or for whatever other reason I might see something differently.  I&#8217;ve gone back and read old posts from this blog many times and often think that I am a complete jackass for writing a certain way or siding with this or that.  I cringe when I read <a href="http://rsefer.com/2008/11/06/yes-we-will/" target="_blank">this post</a>, or <a href="http://rsefer.com/2008/08/21/fire-and-rain/" target="_blank">this one</a>, and many others.  Oh well, that&#8217;s unavoidable when you put yourself out there.</p>
<p>Friends ask me why I have a blog, especially considering no one reads it.  I can never really give a straight answer, but I think I do it more for myself than for anything else.  When writing a long, serious post, my thoughts on a particular topic are fleshed out.  I may not have a particularly strong opinion on what I am writing about, but they very act of writing about it helps me understand it better.  On the other end of the spectrum, when I post a song I am really enjoying or a video I think is great, it is a release of my excitement for it from my mind.  Once it&#8217;s on the blog, I can let it go.</p>
<p>That may sound weird, but blogging clears my mind.  For this reason, I think everyone should blog in some way.  Whether it be blogging about the industry you work in, about how much you love a sports team, about your frat brothers/sorority sisters, your diet, your workout, etc., blogging will help you.  Trust me.  No one may read it, but it&#8217;s good for you.  Blog away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once again, I have nothing good to contribute to my blog, so I figured I should do another edition of The Ramblings:</p>
<p>My sister Andrea, her friend Meg, and my Dad visited me this weekend.  We all went to the Illinois - Ohio State game, which turned out to be cold and dissapointing.  It was a fun weekend none the less.</p>
<p>Tried to register for my classes today and was DESTROYED by U of I.  Why must it be so difficult.  Why.</p>
<p>After eating dinners that come in bags and take out for about the 100th straight night, I&#8217;m ready to go home and have a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.  Immediately.</p>
<p>Saw Quantum of Solace this weekend.  Excellent addition to Casino Royale.  The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM5UJvnbbuY" target="_blank">theme song</a>, by Jack White and Alicia Keys, is also very good.</p>
<p>Other movies I&#8217;ve seen lately: Apocalypse Now, great movie, but quite eery and disturbing, and American Beauty, another excellent film.</p>
