Your health, lifestyle, and habits have a dramatic affect on your lifespan. We know smoking robs a person of several years of his life, as do many other activities. It is also well documented that stress, sleep habits, and dieting can affect ones life. A 30 year old man who smokes, is highly stressed, sleeps 5 hours per night, and is overweight could be in equivalent health to a 38 year old man who does not share these conditions. This is called Real Age or Health Age. There are far more conditions that affect age than can be listed here. This test is for entertainment only. If you are concerned about the results please see a doctor.

This of course is in reference to my previous story about the dangers of letting your plants imbibe on a frequent basis. The next thing you know you could find them passed out in a dark alley smelling of all manner of awful things. Trust me, I know this from experience.

By the way Stacy, we don’t need any of those balanced opinions here on RDDN. The internets are chaos and garbage and we like it that way. So don’t go and mess up my program. Mmmkay?

Sorry about that, if you care.

Lately do to a very difficult week at work (probably one of my toughest yet) and some personal occurances coupled with this week of vacation I have been having tiny epiphanies on where my life is going and have found that recently I have sort of strayed from what I thought a good tack (nautical term). I decided to take much of the time this week to work on myself a little. I have watched several movies (I know how can that better oneself besides relaxing), I have decided to begin eating better (although my previous diet still pales in comparison to the unhealthiness of a normal American), restarting vitamins and whatnot, working out harder, trying to get through on my backlogged books, and getting outstanding errands done. This may sound silly to some of you, but I feel that at least I am trying to better myself. We shall see if I stay focused and continue within the next few weeks.
