		<title>baby, you make my dreams come true</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I first wrote <a href="a href="http://wp.me/pCOAL-3">Life on the Block</a> almost two years ago, a lot has changed.  I didn't really realize until recently how out of date the ending was.  Every once in a while someone would comment (mostly on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/livinontheblock">Twitter</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Life-on-the-Block/122994347743741">Facebook</a>) that they hope I get to meet the rest of the guys or something, and I'd realize it needs an update.  Well, this is finally it!  (Thanks to the personal story contest at <i>Glamour</i> magazine, I had to actually edit the thing &#038; am motivated to set the record straight!)]]></description>

		<title>here we, here we go again&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've you've read the <a href="http://www.lifeontheblock.com/on-the-block/theres-just-so-much-that-i-wanna-say/">main post</a> to this blog, you know that once upon a time, I had an NKOTB tattoo.  If you've read it all, you also know that I got it when I was young and out of insecurity, once covered it up, too.  As you can imagine, given the sentiment of my post, there were times over the years since I made the decision that I wanted it back.  After the reunion, I was ready: bigger, bolder, blacker, <b>better</b>.  Inspired by the lyrical beauty of "Close to You," I decided this time it was going somewhere sexier - close to my hips.]]></description>

		<title>just straight to business&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe it's just me, but... I always get this nasty, sick-to-my-stomach feeling all day when I'm waiting in line for a general admission event.  Do you guys know what I mean?  It's the worst.  I'm old school; I've never paid for a meet &#038; greet with anyone in my whole life.  I don't plan to start now, so I've managed to do without 4/5 star events just fine, although it often means sacrificing an entire day (in Vegas, in some cases) to wait in line.]]></description>

		<title>been away for a long time&#8230; but we back!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven't posted anything new on this blog in nine months!!  Inspired by <a href="http://nkotbsummer.blogspot.com/"> Katie</a> (<a href="http://twitter.com/ktsummer">@ktsummer</a>), I'm going to see if I can't blog a little more regularly from here on out.  This is just a quick update to stimulate the curiosity (and RSS feeds) of my readers.]]></description>

		<title>the look that got me twisted still hasn&#8217;t changed&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They call us (among other things), Blockheads. (And while, to me, there is a difference between us lifelong residents and those who&#8217;ve just moved back to the Block&#8230;I digress.) For many of us, Twitter has been an amazing blessing. It&#8217;s like a non-stop afterparty &#8211; most of the New Kids are on at least once [...]]]></description>
