		<description><![CDATA[Don't take that to mean the other half is indecent, or that from the belt down I'm little more than an animalistic being. 
I'm the kind of guy who asks girls out on dates--I'll shell out the requisite 50 bucks and bottle of wine for the sake of entertaining conversation and the potential to get to know someone. Call me crazy, since in this tiny little bubbly-filled world I live in that seems like a prohibitive cost. Especially because parties provide academically overachieving but socially awkward kids sufficient lubrication to let their inhibitions out. <a href="http://firstcallmagazine.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/from-a-half-decent-guy/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=firstcallmagazine.wordpress.com&#038;blog=10708650&#038;post=999&#038;subd=firstcallmagazine&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The work of his skin against the clean, light streaks of metal is transient. One black spot that bleeds into the smoke of his breath is a burden for him. More than one is war against a language that no one speaks, but one that he fights to capture and shove through his ears so that his tongue may salivate. He says that his dream is a wound that bleeds into the smoke of his breath. I believe him- he’s witty. I ask him to pretend that the work of his skin against the clean light streaks of metal would touch my emotion, if only for a little while. That he would comply- I tell him prose.

		<description><![CDATA[Smoking is bad for you. Everyone knows this, yet millions of people continue to risk their health by getting their fix of tar and nicotine.  You've seen them around campus or camped outside the doors of bars and restaurants.  I've never smoked, but I've always had a sort of morbid curiosity about it.  What does it taste like?  Do you ever get used to that smell? <a href="http://firstcallmagazine.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/thank-you-for-not-smoking/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=firstcallmagazine.wordpress.com&#038;blog=10708650&#038;post=1023&#038;subd=firstcallmagazine&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m ten minutes into my Econ 001 midterm when it comes to my attention that I have yet to answer a single question. I pinch myself in an attempt to escape the testing room via the waking-up-from-a-dream method. After Plan A fails, I start chewing my gum more rigorously in an attempt to stimulate my brain. 
Now, fifteen minutes later, the gum has lost all its sugar, my jaw is too unmotivated to chew anymore, and I‘m still struggling to fill out the date and my TA’s name. Let’s see, the date is the 26th, I believe? Or is it the 27th? I’ll come back to that one later.  <a href="http://firstcallmagazine.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/aesops-lost-tale/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=firstcallmagazine.wordpress.com&#038;blog=10708650&#038;post=1017&#038;subd=firstcallmagazine&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
