How to build a fire

This post is the reason for my new blog, the Daily Jello. Jello is mellow. Mostly Jello is strange yet incredibly common. You can have it plain or with lots of weird things in it. I'm surprised it was never featured in a Seinfeld.
So, went down to Crystal Beach this weekend and discovered a few things about myself. Of no surprise was the concensus that I make the best damn crawfish pies ever. Recipe never to come, mama's secret of course.
With 20 mph winds I also discovered that I truly am the fire master!! My fire fascination started when I was 10 I would play with votive candles that my mom bought from Home Interiors and kept in the freezer. I would roast mini marshmallows over the flame with toothpicks and play with the melted wax on our coffee table. Ahh, the blissful afternoons of a latchkey only child.
Fast forward to post-college days in Huntington Beach. I lived with 3 crazy girls in a 2-story beach house with no heater. As I was home more often, I perfected quick house fires with wood that one of the roomies would steal from outside Albertsons during her 4am tweaker binges. My time in California was also notably outdoor oriented, lots of camping from Lake Tahoe to San Diego and eastward into Joshua Tree desert. Now living in a very nice house in Austin I practice the art of fire daily.
This is not how to START a fire from scratch, mind you. All you have to do is put some sort of fire starting material down (little blocks of wax and sawdust are best, newspaper is ok, dry pinecones are good too), make a square around it with medium sticks, place a ton of little sticks over the square, but medium on top of that, and larger medium on top of that. The fire will ignite the little sticks which will ignite the bigger ones and so on.
I guess this wasn't as informative as I had hoped, but since this is my very first time publishing anything to the web I ask for some patience!
Blogging is pretty stupid and very cocky! I don't think I'll like it very much, especially since it seems like I will do a lot of strange journaling instead of giving any info. Sorry. peace!
