Why I want to be a Dog (A Poem)

Envious of dogs.
They do not have to worry about
Religion, philosophy and thought.
They don't have to fight the battles,
Put out by the ill-witted
of most
Humans.
They get attention by many.
It is not odd for them to approach other people.
No customs, no conformity.
Just sniffing privates
and moseying around.

I used to hate the domestication of anything.
We removed their freedom.
But they are blind to it,
so does it matter?
Ethics.
Just another thing that doesn't matter to dogs.

If I were a dog I wouldn't have to deal with stupidity,
With annoyances and with society.
Life would be filled with attention,
confidence, praise, free food, a home.
No difficult decisions or failures.

I doubt it does,
but If reincarnation exists
I would want to be a dog,
or nothing.
As long as I'm not a male
Because fixation and castration
Are not days I want to experience. 

#7 30 Day Writing Challenge- 5 Pet Peeves

Getting back on track with this! I'm going to try not to forget anymore. Before I forgot, I was actually writing the blog post the day before and then posting it the next morning.

Anyways

5 Pet Peeves:

5. When my pens stop working. I hate it so much. Just work. Okay?

4. The ice at the bottom of iced capps from Tim Hortons. I always drink at the top of the iced capp because I hate just drinking all of the liquid and having a bunch of ice left over. It drives me nuts. I rarely have slushies anymore, but I used to have the same issue with them as well.

3. When my blankets come off of my bed. I hate having to tuck my sheets back in. It usually takes me a week before I finally do. It's just annoying.

2. Dog hair on everything all of the time, especially when I'm wearing black. I always wear pajamas when I'm at home because I hate getting dog hair on my clothes. One time I had a friend over at my house and I was wearing black yoga pants and we were just sitting on the couch and it was driving me crazy that my pants were covered in dog hair. I kept picking it off and he kept trying to get me to stop. Drives me nuts.

1. When I go for a run and I am like 15km away from the house and then get super tired, and nobody can drive me back home. I guess it's a good thing. But it's happened like 3-5 times where I was extremely far away from my house and then I get really tired. I just head home and "hack it", I run and walk. Sometimes I find if I do sprints and then walk it moves faster, or if I do intervals. Tired... bored is the same thing. Sometimes I get bored with running and then I find if I start sprinting that it goes by faster. But then I get more tired and out of breath from sprints. It's a win-lose.

Anyways. I'm sure there are more things that bug me, but I can't think of any right now. Do you have any pet peeves?
