		<description><![CDATA[Recently I&#8217;ve been feeling pretty good about myself in a way that only a man can&#8230; In my pants. Ok just kidding, I always feel pretty good about myself there.  But seriously, I made up my mind to focus on the positive things in my life instead of dwelling on the negative.
