Dude, what the fuck... are you prepared to accept your destiny, or does this mean you've just decided to blow the hell out of the planet?
You can do that, you know, with your new powers and all. Choose wisely.
By the way, that cartoon totally looks like me if it was a man.
You know, hittin' the gym and all.
You asked me if I knew that was Phoenix - dude, in the comic books, Jean Grey exposed herself to the deadly radiation of a solar flare in order to save the X-Men as they returned from a mission in space. Jean became a being of pure thought, and then reformed herself upon return to Earth with the new costume, identity and power of "Phoenix." Jean's increased powers began to corrupt her, and when Mastermind killed Cyclops' psychic image in a psychic duel, it served to break his hold over Jean's psyche and unleashed the insane power of the Phoenix, which consumed Jean utterly, and renamed itself the "Dark Phoenix." Without a thought of the consequences, she dove into the heart of the D'Bari star and devoured its energy, causing the star to go nova — killing billions of innocent alien lives in the process. With events spiralling out of control, Xavier ordered the X-Men to subdue Jean and battled her until she regained her senses. Running to a back alley on the moon, Jean, struggling to keep control, activated a Kree weapon and disintegrated herself after an emotional good-bye to Cyclops.
Also, Phoenix is a city in Arizona. And I think your blog title might even possibly hint at Phoenix-type things.
So yeah.
