" Family Guy" is one of the best and most interesting adult comedies. Every character is truly interesting and has their own unique quirks. Peter is just a terrible person. Lois is secretly dark and covers it with a her friendly exterior. Meg is unbearably mediocre. Chris is painfully dumb. Brian fakes sophistication and intelligence. And Stewie, Stewie is the best character in the entire show for a variety of reasons.

1. His keen ability to sense the need for a musical break.

Stewie, as demented as he is, has a keen sense for breaking into song and choreographed dance. These songs are always pertinent and make the show that much more interesting.

2. His offhand references to composers and Broadway shows.

There is nothing better than an offhand reference to Gershwin. His keen ability to incorporate a musical and all its key numbers into an episode makes the show that much more exciting, and the parodies of musical numbers are always spot on and so enjoyable to listen to.

3. His ability to call his family out for their crap.

There is no member of the Griffin family who could escape criticism and Stewie is the perfect medium to deliver those criticisms. Chris is dumb. Meg is boring. Brian is pretentious. And Lois a hypocrite. Frequently, as an audience member you feel inclined to make these feelings known and no one could voice that - except Stewie. This is his function as a character and it makes the show that much more interesting and funny.

4. His intolerance toward all of Peter's annoying idiosyncrasies.

There is no other character that can tell Peter what a terrible person he is. It is this ability that makes Stewie so helpful and his offhand bashing of Peter makes Peter's stupidity almost palatable.

5. His continual quest for world domination.

Stewie's character has these interesting intense subplots that make the show really wonderful and make Stewie's character have that much more depth and sophistication.

6. His oddities.

Be it his interest in crossdressing juxtaposed with his odd interactions with women Stewie's character has funny little quirks that make him interesting and make his role in the show that much more important.

Stewie is by far the most interesting and complex character on Family Guy and he makes the show so much more interesting and fun to watch.

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.
