    Is Nothing as Good as it Used to Be?

    I’ve spent a lot of time on Spotify recently looking for new music to listen to and, frankly, I left disappointed in what I found. Some of the music was decent, some was good, but for the most part, I did not like what I heard.

    I went back into my 1990’s, 2000’s and 2010’s playlists and the difference is profound. I’ve heard time and time again that this is normal, that it happens generation after generation. But it’s not just the music.

    After watching the latest Oscars show with Conan O’Brien hosting, I started to think about the movies of the previous decades and the conclusion is the same, in my opinion.

    Television? Maybe. I’ve heard we are living a TV golden age due to all the streaming platforms pumping out so much content. I’ not sure about this one.

    What animals make the best/worst pets?

    You really can’t go wrong with dogs. They are perfect. They are the most amazing, incredible little creatures.

    I have two Chihuahuas and I could not ask for better dogs. They make our lives so much better. I love listening to the beautiful sound of their little paws’ tippy-taps on the floor.

    I love seeing their excitement when my wife and I come back home from running errands or a day out.

    I love that you can pick them up and cuddle them like eternal babies. They will never be too old for that.

    They each have their own unique personality.

    And to think that dogs are not even a luxury that few are fortunate enough to enjoy. They are plentiful. You can drive down to a shelter right now and adopt what could become one of the pest things in your life.

    So, yeah. Dogs.
