A Little Fall Cheer

Some good things that have happened in the past week.

A Little Fall Cheer
Parkview Christian Yorkville

With the stress of this election and other controversial topics (hello, Starbucks green cups...[why is this a thing to be mad about?]), America is on edge. So to spread a little Christmas cheer, I thought I would look at some good things that happened over the past few weeks across the United States.


The Chicago Cubs won the World Series.

In case you missed it, the Cubs finally ended a 108 year streak of no World Series wins. The World Series is a best-of-7 series, and the Cubs won it in the seventh game. Not only that, but the game itself was intense. The Cubs were up by 4 for a long time, but the Indians came back to tie it and eventually took the lead, Cubs came back to tie it, game went into extra innings, there was a rain delay, the Cubs eventually scored 2 points, the Indians scored one more, and then the game was over and the Cubs won. Seriously, a storybook game and a great series to watch.


This dog's dream came true.

There was a video floating around Facebook of this dog's day being made. He loves Gumby and was totally blown away when his favorite toy came to life right before his eyes. Check it out below:


Batman celebrates the birthday of a 6-year-old cancer patient.

These stories always warm my heart.


Panda cubs.

These twin cubs in Shanghai were separated because the mother would naturally take care more of the stronger baby. So the Zookeepers did an experiment where they had the mom take care of one of the panda cubs for a few days and then switched them. Thankfully, the experiment worked and the mom is taking care of both of them so the cubs have been reunited.


Jimmy Kimmel does it again.

Okay, so this isn't a heartwarming, feel-good kind of story. But these videos where parents tell their kids they ate all the Halloween candy crack me up every single year! Check out Part 1 below:


Ellen surprises a guest.

This week, Ellen had a member of the audience totally surprised with special recognition. He runs an after-school program in Brooklyn to keep kids doing healthy things and out of trouble. It was a touching story and you could see the dedication and love for what he does.


This dog is now safe and sound.

Last Wednesday (November 2), Italy was hit with a 4.8 magnitude earthquake. Miraculously, this dog survived and was rescued a few days later. His saving grace was that his muzzle was not buried, so he could continue to breathe.


Have you seen anything good going on around you recently? If so, please share in the comments below! I would love to hear more good stories like these.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
