Oh, thrilling!

My first post!
Oh I'm so excited.

Allow me to explain a few things.
My thoughts are all over the place, you will never see two related posts anywhere near one another [if you do, inform me immediately!!]

Secondly, the title. "Intent to Start a Fire" represents two aspects of my life.
First off, my day-to-day goal is, as most of you can relate to, to enjoy myself. Some days, that involves the innovative use of conversation. For instance, if there is an argument that I am sure I can win, whether I mean to or not, I will eventually initiate it. This might not make a whole lot of sense.
An example: One day I learned through Google [God love it] about stem cell research, and the procedures involved. I was quite thrilled to have obtained this knowledge, and I proceeded to mention it over dinner. While I meant no harm, we soon began to have a heated debate over the morality of the situation and the definition of life, whilst I basked in the joy of having my arguments already outlined and perfected. I won, and winning arguments is something that I enjoy very much. Daily goal accomplished.
Point being, I prepare for my day with the knowledge that eventually, I will start a "fire". It is unavoidable.
Secondly, I will have nothing to do with apathy. A wise man once said, "Be decisive, even if it is the wrong decision." I plan to do great things with my life, and I wish to change something, no matter how small. We should all have goals, and we should all feel passionately about something. As you grow older, do you plan to do something great with your life, to "start a fire"? Or will you watch the others do it for you?

Oh so seriously said, today, but I assure you, it's temporary.
Goodbye for now!
