		<description><![CDATA[Now that the Mango / Brownstone ride seems to be in full swing and has thus far been nice and quiet (aside from some ex-boyfriend drama which I might choose to detail later, pending interest), I hardly think that there will be any more entertaining dating stories to share (knock on virtual wood).  And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Faith is a funnier word than hope.  I hope for a lot of things, but it is faith that fuels Brownstone Cool.  It is faith that has also burned Brownstone in the past.  It is a highly volatile, erratic mode of being / thinking to concede to faith, alone.
When Mango and I [...]]]></description>

Being the internet Maharishi that I am, I have taken adequate spam-filtering steps to avoid this mess with this blog.  Occassionally one email or two will slip through to my otherwise clean inbox.  So without further ado, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In previous posts, I have alluded to a dating spree that I had endured after the first Mango Meltdown back in January.  There is no way of really condensing these great exploits into one post so I will try to recount the tales as detailed as possible - for your full comedic viewing pleasure. [...]]]></description>

There it is, defined. Do I really know what it means anymore?  Not sure. I don&#8217;t think there is an ounce of hope left in my system. In fact, I think hope took a vacation. Actually, hope completely skipped town [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Insanity knows no bounds. Just because the Mango saga has roared back into Brownstone lore, doesn&#8217;t mean the crazies aren&#8217;t still prancing around, making appearances here and there, adding to these illustrious chronicles.  Here are a couple of notables from the last 48 hours, leading off with my favorite billboard girl, herself:

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not one to believe in miracles, but this was a borderline, minor miracle. Mango reaching out to me? AND there&#8217;s no catch?  Hmmmmm&#8230;
So Brownstone&#8217;s heart is racing like mad, partly out of shock and also of the aforementioned slight miraculous nature of the event. I quickly composed myself and began my first conversation [...]]]></description>

While it&#8217;s not my style to dwell on past relationships, there is always one that just sits in the pit of your stomach that is torture to let go of. For Brownstone, the object of dwell-dom was, and is Mango.  [...]]]></description>

Hey Brownstone,
sorry i didn&#8217;t write to you earlier but I haven&#8217;t been here for a week&#8230;I was out in Queens last week doing some training&#8230; how&#8217;s everything on your end?
