6 Ways To Know You're Really From Miami
CoolHDWallpaper.net

1. Everyone automatically assumes you speak Spanish: If you really grew up in Miami, you know that all of your friends' parents immediately greet you in Spanish. They are filled with joy and excitement until your friend finally breaks the news: ella es americana. Then it gets awkward, and that plate of tequenos that was about to get offered up, they just put that away because...no entiendo!

2. Your entire Instagram feed is made up of 5 locations: Wake up on any typical Sunday morning and check your instagram. If you're really from Miami, you know what I'm talking about. If you didn't post a picture at Bodega, Rockwell, Dicey's, Basement, or Liv...do you even go here?

3. You plan for Ultra months in advance, and you'll probably miss school for it too: Everyone who's really from Miami knows that Ultra is practically a religious holiday. And lets not forget the outfit planning (guys this includes you, too). You know you can't show up at American Apparel the day before because there will be nothing left, so you plan your outfit alone months ahead of time. Once it is that special time of the year, and if you really have a ticket and aren't planning to jump the fence or I don't know, hide in someones pants, you're probably taking at least 1 day off of school to make sure your Ultra weekend goes perfectly!

4. Healthy food is trendy: Whether you're into health or not, if you're really from Miami you know that you will probably drive up to 15 miles for an acai bowl. We all know it's just a smoothie in a bowl with some toppings, but why make it at home when you can pay $15 for a cute picture of you and your trendy acai bowl, or maybe an avocado toast? You'll probably just get both.

5. Can't Stop, Won't Stop: If you're really from Miami, you know that the Zika virus won't stop you from going to Wynwood. Some dangerous mosquitoes can't stop you from having your Sunday Brunch at Gigi, and definitely can't stop you from picking up your challah from Zak the Baker. Oh, and let's not forget that desperate times call for selfies, and selfies call for the Wynwood walls.

6. Getting in your car between the hours of 4-6 is a NO NO: You might just be trying to get down the street, but I can guarantee you, if you're really from Miami, you know it will take you a solid 20 minutes to get just a few miles at this time of the day. If you get in your car during this two hour window, well, you can't say you didn't know what you were getting yourself into!

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

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.
