Devil Dog

When your dogs’ eyes are crossed and bulging out of their sockets is the moment you should think your night is going to suck. My girlfriend and I adopted a Boston Terrier puppy about a year ago and in my girlfriend's words, “He is such a lil cutie!” In reality though, he is the spawn of the devil. If you were to take any advice away from reading anything I write, please let it be this, do not get a dog until you are sure of it. Simon, my Boston, is a sweetheart deep, deep, deep down, but normally his ears are always perked and his mind is always racing. I have trained him day after day so he is not stupid, but he is an energizer bunny on crack. He knows how to sit, stay, lay down, and even roll over. Simon lives his life in luxury, being walked and fed everyday, what more can a dog ask for?

There are some good times that make up for the bad, but when those bad times are on, it’s game over. Like I said before, when his eyes bulge and he starts to pant heavily is when you know shit is about to hit the fan. Simon is neutered, but he still loves to hump my arm. I think, he thinks, that by humping me he is showing me dominance and I can’t stand it. Looking into his eyes as they are intently staring off into the distance, as he is thrusting his neutered male parts against my arm is like looking into the depths of hell. When we leave him alone for hours at a time he finds a way to jump onto each and every single thing in our house. Remember, he is only 2 feet off the ground and this little guy can jump. I love my dog, but he is a handful for sure. Again, any advice you take away let it be this: have a human child before you adopt a puppy. Especially, a puppy on crack.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
