Fire Dog

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I thrive on the unknown and unpredictable. I tend to challenge common assumptions and beliefs. An expert inventor and problem solver, I approach everything from new angles. I am very insightful and tend to make decisions based on my insights. I focus on how things should be - even if I haven't worked out the details. An idealist, thinking of the future helps me guide my path. I like to give others long-term direction and momentum.
FIRE DOG kinda of just happened. When we were teenagers, my brother jokingly called his siblings "dog" So there was Rose Dog, Jeanne Dog, Allan Dog, Pete Dog - you get the picture. Flash forward many years and I am working on a demonstration called "What Is Fire". I email the document to myself from home so I can work on it at work and put the document name "What Is Fire.doc" in the email. Well, the email spell check thought I'd made a mistake and suggested Fire.doc should be Fire dog. At the time I was really starting to play on MySpace and thought, "there's a cool handle!" - better than my original, kinda dumb "handle", which was dubladubll, meaning double "A", double "L". Fire is cool chemistry, and hey I'm a dog from way back so the name stuck! Some things are meant to be!
I have known my wife for 20 years and we have two kids in middle school. We are a happy family and enjoy time together.
Look on my page and you will see things that interest or entertain me. I occasionally write blogs about things that move me or copied from other sources about stuff I find interesting.

Sun in Sagittarius
Keywords: optimistic, curious, freedom-loving, sporty, philosophical
Element: Fire
Personality Profile:
The Sun in Sagittarius nature is one of expansion, and their eyes are often optimistically fixed on a future goal. They are global citizens, here to sample many tastes and cultures, which can keep them constantly on the move. A bored Sadge is a rare sight, since they'll break free of any relationship or situation that starts to squash their legendary enthusiasm.
They're known for spontaneous philosophical ramblings and don't seem to get bogged down in emotional complexities. Leave it to a Sagittarius to step into a messy tangle and sum up the situation with blinding clarity. They'll be willing to say the truth when all others hide in confusion. This makes them invaluable friends that can guide you back to the clear path when you need honesty rather than enablers.
There's a notable physicality to the Sun in Sagittarius that gets them involved in vigorous athletics and bold travel-adventures. The ideal partner for the Sadge is above all a friend, and a partner in life's great adventure who understands the needs of a true free spirit.
OKAY!!! Heya, all is COOL!
What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are a wanderer. You constantly long for a new adventure, challenge, or eve a completely different life.
You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds.
You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you.
Your near future is in a very different place (both physically and mentally) from where you are right now.
For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. Inside the Room of Your Soul

"Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment"
~Lao Tzu

"Zen mind is not Zen mind. That is, if you are attached to Zen mind, then you have a problem, and your way is very narrow. Throwing away Zen mind is correct Zen mind. Only keep the question, 'What is the best way of helping other people?"
~ Seung Sahn, "Essential Zen"

Hurting another always hurts oneself. Winning in such a way means the fruits of victory cannot be enjoyed; conquest by dishonor robs the victor of honor.
A Celtic Soul - Wisdom

"You will never learn anything new unless you are ready to accept yourself with your limitations. You must accept the fact that you are capable in some directions and limited in others, and you must develop your capabilities" ~Bruce Lee

Avoid rather than check; check rather than block; block rather than strike; strike rather than hurt; hurt rather than maim; maim rather than kill,,for all life is precious

"Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness." - Edward Stanley
