Pyromantic


Initially, when you meet a special person, sparks will fly. I think love is a lot like a novelty firework:

-All it takes is one little flame to set off a whole explosion.
-It's not something you can experience every day.
-It isn't easy to find the exceedingly high-quality ones.
-The end result ignites all of your senses.
-It can be cheap, costly, or even illegal.
-And yes, sometimes it can burn you.

I'm a pyro. I'm a romantic. I love fireworks. And I love love.

Happy 4th of July!

Tomfoolery

I've determined that blogging is akin to mild schizophrenia; it’s as if I’m conversing with me, myself, and I. But then again….the three of us generate some fairly witty banter.
Blogging could also be posited as talking to a hypothetical audience of people who may or may not be there, and who you may or may not know on a personal basis. These are people who in truth have no obligation to care about you or what the hell it is you’re talking about.

Either way, blogging = tomfoolery.
...
Tomfoolery denotes foolish or nonsensical behavior, deriving from the Middle English "Thom Foole", the mentally-deficient man personified.

Bring it on! I'm excited about this blogging experience.
