FIRE AND MOTION: March 2012
http://fireandmotion.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
March 30, 2012. LIFE BONFIRE: Sharing the Experience. This might be the most narcissistic realization. Of. My. Life. I waited until this post – my swan song on “Fire and Motion” – to allow someone else write and/or share on my blog. How egotistical and self-centered am I? For the last four years – 162 blog posts – I have been the lone contributor to this hedonistic purging of words, thoughts, ideas and bullsh. It’s so disappointing and gross to think about. What was possibly going through my head? Sure, ...

March 17, 2012. Chalk It Up: Stick People and Cuss Words Be Damned. Chalking" has significantly evolved since I was a kid. It's come so far that there is an actual term for it."chalking.". We used to write on the sidewalk and driveway with "chalk rock," and our masterpieces would stay there until the spring monsoons. It was almost like we etched our "art" into the pavement – and it definitely took more than a light rain to clear our canvas. Things have definitely changed. I'll admit.the photos turn o...

http://fireandmotion.blogspot.com/2012/03/treasures-stoke-fire-thought-provoking.html
March 26, 2012. Treasures' Stoke Fire, Night to Remember. I did it – I burned my “treasures.”. Expired driver’s licenses.gone. Newspaper articles with my byline.gone. My high school diploma.gone. Sitting around a fire pit – under a blanket of the brightest Texas stars that I can remember– I created one of the most profound memories of my life.

FIRE AND MOTION: Have You Excepted Jesus? Apparently I Have
http://fireandmotion.blogspot.com/2012/03/have-you-excepted-jesus-apparently-i.html
March 19, 2012. Have You Excepted Jesus? Is it weird that I cringe every time someone rings our doorbell? Part of it has to do with Cpt. Augustus McCrae going ape crazy nuts, which sends Crash into a fit of terror. It's nothing short of awesome (insert sarcasm). The other part of my apprehension revolves around the fact that I probably. Don't know the person standing on my front porch. (If I do know them, they're more apt to just walk in. They know Gus is all bark and all crotch sniff.). I've accepted Je...
