Sometimes, it’s nice to take it easy and write or read something lighthearted, especially when Spring is finally on the way. I watch a weird amount of YouTube in my spare time and this is my list of my favorite videos I’ve come across.
*Author’s note: I tried to resist choosing all cat videos. You’re welcome.

Petting Addict
There is some debate about what type of creature this is. Stop thinking about it. It doesn’t matter. This video is pure gold from the wriggling to the last second where the (supposed) kitten does a half pike and squeaks. Perfection.
#4
Mutant Giant Spider Dog
This is a well executed and very original prank. A+. The costume, the clicking noise and the setting are all on point. My only hangup is that the dog actually seems very friendly and I wonder if his feelings were hurt that people were running away from him. If you see SpiderDog, give him a hug.

“How ’bout Cupcakes??”
I don’t normally watch the videos of kids that make their way around Ellen and Good Morning America, but this is a child is my soul sister. Really though, mom. No one wants vegetarian food when cupcakes are a possibility.

Wizard People: Dear Reader – The Cribbage Match
If you are a Harry Potter fan (if you aren’t, please turn off your computer and go read the books, you muggle), this is the video for you. Brad Neeley narrated over the entire first HP film and gave his own version, which I honestly prefer to the original one. This makes me cry with laughter.

Bollywood Romeo & Juliet Dance
You might be tempted to watch the shirtless man, but you’ll be missing out on the best part of this video, which is the guy I’m going to call Camera Left Sunglasses Man. In the large group dance, the man to the left of the shirtless guy is an incredible dancer and a joy to watch. I can’t watch this and feel anything but happy to be alive.
