Dear 2016,

So glad that you're gone.

Ever since January, you have caused so many broke hearts and emotions. You started when you took Ziggy Stardust(David Bowie). Then you took Professor Snape (Alan Rickman) from us as well. That literally screwed us already.

Then in April, you decided to take Prince, PRINCE. Of all people, Prince. Why Prince? Why? Didn't we suffer enough when you took Bowie away from us?? Soon you took Christina Grimmie; don't get me started on her because that was so unfair and wasn't right. Then you took Ali, why? So you can sting like a bee and fly like a butterfly? Soon after that, Gary Marshall. GARY MARSHALL, the genius behind 'Happy Days' and Princess Diaries. THEN YOU TOOK WILLY WONKA, a month later. Why? Is it because you were craving sweets? You do realize that there are recipes online for a reason, right? Then the months where everything was calm, then November 8th happened. Yeah, you know where I'm going with this and know what I'm going to say. I'm going to spare you that talk.

Then you took Carol Brady (Florence Henderson), why? Honestly, why? Soon after that, you took Dr. Jason Seaver (Alan Thicke.) Wanted to have a Canadian Hockey Team? Is that why?

Then on CHRISTMAS, You took George Michael. Please, explain to me why you took him? Don't get me started on why you took Carrie Fisher, I mean, she didn't do anything to you. Honestly, that was rude as hell, and then you took Grandma Aggie (Debbie Reynolds) the next day, because she wanted to be with her. Which, I understand that a mother would want to be with her daughter, but no. She couldn't be there for her 24 year old granddaughter who lost her mother the day prior. We lost our Princess, we lost our General. We have lost this fantastic woman along with her mother, a day later.


I do realize there have been good things that happened in 2016, but the bad outshines the good. Along with other deaths that happened.

So here's a parting gift from all of us.

See you never.

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.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

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.
