A Pilot Light Ignites, but for What?



Sometimes I'll start writing a blog for an unclear reason and finish writing about something completely different. That may happen today.
I was enjoying my non labor time on Labor Day yesterday by flipping through the channels on television. I stopped on MSNBC when I saw our president giving a speech in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Lately, all I have heard about in the news is Obama's inability to enact anything and how is approval rating decreases slightly each week. That's great news to all those piece of shit journalists that make their money by running any trash that is going to cause a stink. I am not one of those cockroaches. I must get back on track here.
I'm watching the segment of the speech when Obama inserts that campaign anecdote about the little woman in South Carolina at the town hall meeting when Obama running for the presidency was still considered a joke who supplied inspiring words.
Obama was wet, tired, and not taken seriously, and here he was at 8 a.m. in a room of about 30 people listening to a woman chant "Fire it up, fire it up, fire it up." Obama indeed got fired up. And kicked major campaign ass. His message was one person can influence a group, one group a town, one town a state, and one state a nation.
What are you fired up about? Or better yet, what fires you up? Is it change? Is it self-inflicted drama? Is it adversity? Is it complacency? What will it be today that makes life worth living for you?
