		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on the SkyBus to the airport. Sitting on floor with my back against someones suitcase. Why am I doing this? My Mum is about to go under the knife, she has a 7cm aneurysm sticking out of her heart that has plans to end her.

When last we spoke, I had just received an email from my Dad and I was sending him one. He had asked me to call him and I really wasn&#8217;t sure I was emotionally up to it. That all  [...]]]></description>

Well that all went to shit after I typed &#8220;Hi Dad,&#8221;
The words flowed forth like a&#8230; something big and flowy. It has no structure, no flow. It&#8217;s just a jumble of words and emotions that gushed  [...]]]></description>

On September the 29 at 12:08pm (EST) I got a message on FaceBook, from a woman in Florida. It read,
Hi Stefan, Was You Born in Australia or Birmingham, England. UK?
As you can imagine I was more than a bit curious as to how this woman could have  [...]]]></description>

That said, I spend more money on books than on any other &#8220;luxury&#8221; item I buy. I love supporting Australian industries, but the Australian Publishing industry is making that really hard.
