Blisteringly soaring high

I was thinking of a perfect name for our broadsheet when fenix soared through my mind.

Phoenix (fenix), a symbol of fire and divinity, is a mythical bird with a tail of beautiful gold and red plumage. It lives a 1,000 year life-cycle, and when nearing its end, the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises. The new phoenix is destined to live, usually, as long as the old one. Stories tell that the phoenix regenerates itself when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible. It is also said that it can heal a person with a tear from its eyes and give him/her temporary immortality.

Thus came the rise of el nuevo fenix. It's a 'regenerated' blog from former blazingbiba. This blog epitomizes my (nearly) immortal persona that you, dear reader shall soon realize.
