This is a great question, at first I thought none but thinking about it I can think of a few desires I'd change. 

I'd cut down my desire for unhealthy food.  I have a healthish body but I could be healthier.

Other than that I'm happy with my desires.  

Sometimes I think my desire for sex is too strong but I've had a lot of good times having sex.  I think it does cloud my judgement of women sometimes even if it's just temporary.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
