My name is nicole borden. I’m 26. 
 I have a degree in vocal music performance from Central Michigan University, which I never intend on using. 
 I recently returned to CMU to pursue a degree in broadcasting and cinematic arts. Thus far I like it a lot more the second time around. 
I suck at cooking, spelling, playing the clarinet and learning foreign languages. 
So don’t ask me to do those things.
Other than that I’m awesome.

&lt;blockquote&gt;John Stewart rips them a new one…&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This just reminded me why I used to avoid watching those 24 hour news channels. Pundit’s are never consistent with their messages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Funny, yet enraging at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ridiculousroo.tumblr.com/post/48782197</link><guid>http://ridiculousroo.tumblr.com/post/48782197</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Sep 2008 18:20:59 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>pauliophonic:

His new album is being released on the 30th and I’m pumped.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I recently went to his website and this announcement was on the home page:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/group/singyourheartout" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.benfolds.com/images/splash_sing.gif" border="0" height="33" width="184"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Calling all college singing groups and musically inclined individuals across the nation…&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br/&gt;You have long embraced Ben Folds musical catalog in your performances.     			&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; We invite you to &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/group/singyourheartout" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;submit YouTube footage of your Ben Folds cover song&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt; The ten videos with the most YouTube views will be featured on BenTV&lt;br/&gt; when the all new BenFolds.com website launches in mid-September.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought this was incredibly cool of him, not only beacuse he is actually recognizing the world of collegiate a cappella , but because he’s embracing it rather than discouraging it by suing groups for using his songs (like I’ve heard of other artists doing).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go to &lt;a href="http://www.benfolds.com"&gt;www.benfolds.com&lt;/a&gt; to listen to tracks from the new album. It sounds awesome, including a great duet with Regina Spektor.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://ridiculousroo.tumblr.com/post/48628058</link><guid>http://ridiculousroo.tumblr.com/post/48628058</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:48:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"On Monday mornings, he and I often said goodbye by making love.
