12 Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Than Humans
Ryan Hickey

Dogs really are a man's best friend. Having a pet can teach us all so many valuable lessons. Dogs are selfless and are always up for an adventure. There is no better feeling than snuggling up with a puppy. They cherish every moment with their owners even when they don't get an extra treat. Dogs are here to remind us to enjoy everyday because tomorrow is never promised. In the end worrying doesn't help anything. We should all try to be happy, to love, be loyal, and maybe even eat some grass.

1. They still kiss you good morning even with your stinky morning breath.

Let's be honest, we do not even want to smell our own breath in the morning. Your dog loves you so much they will risk toxic fumes to make sure you wake up feeling loved.

2. They don’t get mad when you leave the toilet seat up.


There will be no nagging like your girlfriend, sister, mom, aunt, or wife. A gigantic ceramic water bowl is doggie heaven.

3. They're always up to try your terrible food creations.

When no one else can stand to take a bite of your failed vegan no cheese, no cream fettuccine Alfredo, your dog will gladly finish it up. They might even beg for seconds!

4. This gym partner will never say no to a run.

Humans can be lazy and unmotivated. Your dog will always be willing to get in a quick jog or even go for a walk in the rain. Dogs are the best unpaid personal trainers ever.

5. They will always be happy to see you.

Dogs will never comment on how tired you look or lack of makeup. No matter your state, they will greet you as if you haven't seen them in years whether you have or not! It never gets old.

6. Puppies are cuter than babies.

I know some moms out there will fight this, but we all know it is the truth. Puppy dog eyes and a little butt wiggle can beat a drooling baby. Even babies know it!

7. Nothing compares to a good old dog hug.

Do not get me wrong, a human bear hug can be great but most of the time they are awkward. A dog will never give you the side uncomfortable hug.

8. They never mean to hurt your feelings.

Humans can be really mean and most of the time it is intentional. Dogs are not perfect, but when they leave muddy paw prints around the house, it's not for revenge.

9. They are Fluffy.

This point is pretty self-explanatory, but I have never seen a fluffy human. Is there anything better than snuggling a ball of fluff?

10. They will never judge you.

If you end up in bed eating a pint of ice cream and watching "The Notebook," they will be happy to join. They will be glad to catch any drops as you shovel the ice cream into your mouth. In addition, no comments about wasting your Friday night in.

11. You can tell them your darkest secrets and they will never say a word.

Humans are pretty untrustworthy but a dog will keep your secret forever. This also has a lot to do with the fact that they cannot speak. Or can they...

12. They will love you unconditionally forever.

Your dog relies on you every minute of every day. They will be eternally grateful for the amazing life you provide. Dogs are one of the purest creatures on earth, they are a gift. Take advantage and go experience pure unconditional love.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
