		<description><![CDATA[ tend to be a cynical optimist.  (Is that an oxymoron?)  Perhaps, but every now and then something happens where the cyncism that I feel is actually overridden. That just happened to me when I learned about a friend and fellow writer, John Ellis, using a new service called Kickstart, to help him launch a movie trailer.

Here's the link to his Armada project, and as you can see, I pledged a big $50, assuming that he raises $1,200.

I will appreciate it if you do not send me requests for donations.  I'm not an "angel." I don't intend to back many causes.  With that in mind, why did I pledge $50 to John, assuming that he raises the $1,200.
Reasons related to John
