5 Signs Your Pet Is In Charge Of You

When you brought your beloved pet home you knew it was love. As time went on, there was a trust there that your pet knew wouldn't be broken, so kind of like a relationship, they show you the real them. All of the sudden you find yourself doing things for your pet that you would never do for someone else.

1. Wake Up!

It's 5 in the morning and all you hear is this meow or bark that won't stop. You wake up long enough to tell them it is too early to go outside but they don't care. They will look you dead in the eye and throw an actual fit. Sometimes even knocking stuff down to make you mad enough to get up and let them out.

2. No Privacy


It does not matter if you are just in the bathroom to put something away or trying to actually use the restroom, your pet will be there. Sitting. Watching you while you do your business. No matter if the door to the bathroom is closed, it's almost as if they feel like they're missing out on something for that three minutes. Sad part is, you let it happen. It doesn't even matter if there is company over, you just let them walk in on your unknowing guests.

3. Bed Hog

When it comes to sleeping you pet just wants to feel your touch. They do not care how comfortable you are at night as long as they have enough room it's fine. You find that instead of making them move when you are uncomfortable, you allow them to sleep sideways across the bed and you sleep in a ball, convincing yourself it really is more comfortable that way.

4. Hello Food?!


Meal time is a crowd favorite. When you have your meals, they need to as well. Sometimes when you give them their food, you have to pet them or make sure that they have complete privacy as they eat. Other times they just want your food instead of the same kibble they get every day. The attention you give them takes away from the meal you are eating but it's fine because your pet is happy. That's all that matters, right?

5. Try me


You never want to yell at a pet for doing something wrong so sometimes you just don't. Now it's as if they think they can get away with things because you didn't yell one time. Every time after is like yelling at a brick wall because when the cat goes to eat the flowers or your dog got so excited he ripped open his new bed you have no authority according to them. They just go about their day as if nothing ever happened.


If any or all of these happen to you, I hate to break it to you but your animal runs your house. It's too late to turn back now so just embrace the love they want to give you. Animals are the best. So what if they're the boss of you. Love them forever and it won't even matter that you get a two-by-two square to sleep in.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
