Happy Birthday Bucko, This One Is For You
@joshseeks on Instagram

September 29th, 2019. That is when I picked up my dog from Aggieland Humane in College Station Texas. I chose to get him following a really hard breakup and I just needed some kind of companion by my side, so Bucko was the result. It's funny thinking about my decision to get a dog. I had been wanting one for a while but I just either never had the money or the time to get one. He wasn't even my first choice. My first choice was a Golden Retriever but I quickly found out that those dogs are super expensive, next I took a trip to the Fort Worth Animal Shelter where I picked a dog but found out they had misinformed me about the dog's health. I unfortunately had to return him. Finally, came back to College Station to check out Aggieland Humane to see if they had the dog I wanted. I saw on their site that they had a puppy named Hermione who was probably the cutest puppy ever. I couldn't get her either... So finally I looked over and made eye contact with this goofy pup who was sitting there wagging his little tail between his legs. One of the biggest identifiers to determine if I wanted to get a dog was what he was doing when I walked by. If he was barking and going crazy he wasn't for me. Bucko was completely calm, I looked at him and said,

I'll take this one.

That Is when our journey started. Bucko is now my best friend, my adventure buddy, and sometimes a means for God to keep me steady. He loves me unconditionally, and even when I mess up and forget to let him out he runs back to me every time. Bucko you can't read this because you're a dog, but I love you.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
