5 Reasons Why He Is The Burt Macklin To Your Janet Snakehole

Now what exactly do you get when you cross an aristocratic widow who has a very dark secret with a buff special agent for the FBI? Why, you get the power couple of Burt Macklin and Janet Snakehole, of course. Burt Macklin and Janet Snakehole are the alter-egos of the fictional characters Andy Dwyer and April Ludgate-Dwyer from "Parks and Recreation." Arguably, Andy and April have one of the greatest love stories on television. There is an element of mutual respect yet the pair is still youthful and fun-loving. And yes, they also make killer Halloween costumes.


1. The element of spontaneity.

There is no doubt that you would drive thirty hours to the Grand Canyon, just because. April and Andy made the trip just to bask in the glorious vistas and breathtaking views. Heck, they even got married on a whim. Nothing is better than going on adventures and having the times of your lives. You add an element of surprise to each other's lives that always keep you on your toes.


2. He is basically a Labrador Retriever.

Yes, he is as cute as a pup and as friendly as one too. Sometimes you might even mistake him for a puppy but hey, puppies are adorable, spunky, and loyal. Just like Burt Macklin AKA Andy Dwyer, he is fun loving and never too serious about anything.


3. "I guess I kind of hate most things but I never really seem to hate you"-Janet Snakehole AKA April Ludgate Dwyer.

Although no relationship is perfect, you guys manage to balance each other out. Burt Macklin FBI is a foil for the criminal character of Janet Snakehole, just as Andy balances out April's dark side. You just keep each other smiling all the time.


4. You are both a bit unconventional.

Well, who better to spend your time with? When you are a bit more crazy than the rest of the population you need to find someone just as unusual as you. You can go from eating cereal out of frisbees to a night out at the Snakehole Lounge in a snap.



5. Unconditional love and friendship

In the wake of other disappointments and heartbreaks, you are always there for each other through the good times and the bad. There is enough love to fill a village but even more than that, there is a foundation of friendship. You are truly best friends and want the best for each other.

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.
