Chinese Zodiac: Fire Goat

As I started to become interested in Chinese symbols and characters, I also decided to get to know my Zodiac sign a little better. I was born in the year of the Goat and my fixed element is fire. Here is what I found on the web:
"The Goat ( 羊 ) (also known as Sheep or Ram) is the eighth sign of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. The Chinese word for Sheep and Goat is the same, "Yang." That is why the confusion on the name.
People born in the Year of Sheep are elegant and highly accomplished in the arts. They seem to be, at first glance, better off than those born in the zodiac's other years. But Sheep year people are often shy, pessimistic, and puzzled about life. They are usually deeply religious, yet timid by nature. Sometimes clumsy in speech, they are always passionate about what they do and what they believe in. Sheep people never have to worry about having the best in life for their abilities make money for them, and they are able to enjoy the creature comforts that they like. Sheep people are wise, gentle, and compassionate.
In Chinese tradition, fire is one of five elements. It is associated with the planet Mars, summer, the south and the color red. It is also believed to govern the heart. Fire is associated with the qualities of dynamism, strength and persistence; however, it is also connected to restlessness."

I leave it up to you the readers to figure out if the description is in anyway close to the real me. If you are interested in finding out more about your sign, here is a really good website:

Shy, pessimistic, puzzled about life?? timid, clumsy in speech....Yikes! I don't think so. Outgoing, optimistic, curious about life, articulate-substitute these and they have described you.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having
1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

While an internal mountain climbing wall won't provide the same amount of challenge as a possible outdoor space, it's significantly safer and it allows for those who live inside city, not
even close to suitable rock climbing locations, to learn how you can climb and develop their
skills. Panama has really wisely chosen to visit right
after the Central and South American tourism industry.
It builds agility, strength, and coordination, and can rapidly dissipate all of that nervous energy your kids have from excessive sitting.
