Boom!

Hubbers know pretty much about fierycj’s incessant use of the word – Boom! So much questioning, controversy and even mockery arose as a result of this; so much so that fierycj started a thread - Boom! Why The Hell Does fierycj Keep Using The Word Boom! A lot of hubbers participated in this thread in a bid to explain the reason behind this.

After many comments were posted in that direction, fierycj finally decided to put everyone out of their mystery by explaining that Boom! is the word used by Alonzo, Denzel Washington’s character in Training Day. Alonzo is a fiery character himself, and his personality, swag, sense of humour and even fashion sense embodies fierycj in many ways – of course, without the crooked nature of the dirty cop in the movie...

Fierycj will tell you one thing though, being fiery does have its rewards – you live a life of fire; a life that allows you to burn through every thorn and thistle of life...you simply blaze through them.

So, do you wanna be fiery...do you wanna be on fire...anyone can be fiery...here are the tips and just how you can achieve this –

1^st - Never Take Crap From Anyone

This perhaps is the 1^st Law of Power in the Book of Fieriness. People say, you gotta learn how to give in, every now and then. That’s bull, as far as fieriness is concerned. Giving in or taking crap from someone is the same thing as letting your flames to die down. You must always fan the flames – never back down.

2^nd - Say Your Piece

When you’ve got something to say, say it, and move on. It doesn’t matter who agrees with you, say it anyways. People can’t help but respect someone with an opinion.

3^rd - Back Your Words With Action

A fiery person must always live by his or her words. The moment you say something and do something else, or worse, do nothing, you lose your fire power and might never get it back!

4^th - You Need Fiery Balls

You can’t be fiery, if you ain’t got boldness. It’s that simple. You need to stand your ground, and there’s no school where you can learn this – it’s either you have it or you don’t. And if you don’t, fake it till you have it. Whatever you do, get those balls of fire!

5^th - Be Smooth As Hell

Understand the oxymoron here...you’re fiery, you can’t be slick in a phony, corny way...hell is fiery, so be smooth as hell! Ha!

6^th - Be Unpredictable

Never allow anyone to pin you down...once that happens, you become boring and irrelevant.

7^th - Always Reinvent Yourself

You can’t afford to be irrelevant, so you gotta reinvent yourself. Notice how fire burns erratically...that’s how you gotta be.

8^th - Be Intellectual

It’s simple – dumb people can never be fiery! The art of fieriness is perfected in having true intellect. If you aren’t born with it, you’ve gotta read like a madman – read everything and anything; absorb all knowledge. You gotta know a bit about everything; and when you can, know more than a bit about something. Fire with intellect is irresistible!

9^th - Have A Lot of Swag

You’ve gotta have this – call it cocky or whatever; but it really is confidence. It’s true meekness is all nice and they’ll inherit the Earth and all, but think like Elijah, the fiery prophet, and a chariot of fire might just carry you to heaven. Ha!

10^th - Be Charismatic

When you’ve become super fiery...you’ve gotta back it up with charisma, unless you just become annoying most of the time. Charisma is what helps fine tune your flames, so people can drink in and digest your liquid-fire.

11^th - Have Dark Humour

Dark comedy is priceless in the life of a fiery one. You’ve gotta see humour in things that are dark. When you’re corny all the time – people get fed up with you. For you to achieve appreciation in dark humour you must develop a followership for works by Stephen King and Quentin Tarantino.

12^th - You’ve Gotta Love Movies

And none of that Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy crap, either!

13^th – Be Supernatural

It’s tough to be fiery, without having a spiritual side. The supernatural, apart from providing the balance in your life, gives you the right amount of enigma in order for you to blast off!

14^th – Think Seven Steps Ahead

It doesn’t have to be seven steps, exactly. Seven just sounds cooler, as you know. You’ve gotta anticipate things before they happen. This is pivotal to being fiery.

15^th – Be Mysterious

Not in a weird, freaky way or anything. But a hint of enigma never hurts.

16^th – Be Classy

The opposite sex will love you for it. Fire with class is always wholesome.

17^th – Give Respect

Never fail to respect anyone who deserves it. In doing this, you’ll get back respect. And you must be respected to be fiery in the eyes of men. And never under any circumstance should you lose your respect in the eyes of men. This is very essential – once you lose it, take a gun and blow your brains out. What’re you living for?

18^th – Be Honest

There’s a lot of virtue in being fiery. Honesty is one of them. Never, ever lie. Once you get used to it, telling the truth comes easy. Never bullshit!

19^th – Know How To Handle Women

Whether you admit it or not, women have the power in this world, and the crazy part is, they don’t even have to occupy any political position or seats of authority to exercise this. Their problem is, they don’t realize this! As a fiery man, you should never deny this power, acknowledge it, harness it, and you’ll be rewarded endlessly.

20^th – Be A Ruler

As the old saying goes - Do not wait for a coronation; the greatest emperors crown themselves. If you want something take it...don’t wait for it to come to you. Yes it sounds cliché and all. But that’s the sum of being fiery. Sorry to break it down to ya, but fiery people lead the pack...always.

Conclusion

The above 20 rules can make you fiery if you abide by them. But the perfection of being fiery comes when you can be all these things and more without even trying. True word...Now, Boom!
