		<description><![CDATA[Don’t be fooled by the smell of barbecue in the air, the popping lids of iced cold beer, and all the smiling people in trunks and bikinis riding bicycles. The source of their pleasure is a scorching gaseous star emitting cancerous UV rays that want to kill them. If anything, stage a revolt this summer: Stay indoors. Defy the sun by opening all the windows and finding a good book to read.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most overlooked aspects of achieving success in life involves how we care for ourselves.  In our day-to-day strivings to manage work, family and other personal obligations, it is an easy thing to put aside the regular participation in behaviors that in essence say, “this time is about taking care of me." ]]></description>

It was something that would keep me mentally occupied and also probably kept me from being one of those annoying “are we there yet?” kids. To this day, I can remember some of them if I can visualize them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know there’s an election coming up soon? If you ever watch television or listen to the radio, I‘m sure you‘ve been bombarded w/ ads!

It also comes down to this: Have you seen how ignorant about the world and shallow so many people are these days??? Do you really want the general public guessing on a complicated issue written in complicated language to determine your rights, where your tax money goes, or how elections work?

		<description><![CDATA[The thought of creating a written plan to reach your goals can sound unappealing or at best, unnecessary.  However, setting up a series of tangible steps can profoundly help you focus your vision on a larger goal and give you a structure that fosters intention.  After all, if you simply say to yourself, ‘My goal is to lose weight’, the excess pounds won’t magically disappear.  With whatever goal you have in mind, you need a plan to get it accomplished.

		<description><![CDATA[<strong>WSF:</strong> <strong>How did you become involved in the industry?</strong>
<em>I've always been a sucker for attention. I was a dancer when i was younger, and used to compete nationally. I actually watched some of the tapes the other day and it's funny because we were so awful. But, I guess for 9 year olds we were awesome, it would make a kick ass reality show now.  </em><em>I went to one of those "Performing Arts High Schools," so I was a total musical theater kid, but I cant sing.  So because i could dance, i basically played a prostitute in every play. By my second year of college, i was done.  I knew I had to move out to LA, and so I packed up and left.</em>

		<description><![CDATA[When David Foster Wallace told David Lipsky of <i>Rolling Stone</i> in 1996 that American poetry had gotten what it deserved and <i>“would come awake again when poets started speaking to people who have to pay the rent,”</i> he had obviously never been to Long Beach. And though it may be too late for Mr. Wallace, it’s certainly not for the rest of us because Long Beach poetry is making a comeback.  ]]></description>
