Thank God for Bad Habits!

 Sweet Georgia Brown! All this time I've been so healthy...

As luck would have it, it turns out that getting pissed off, downing coffee, being a slob, drinking beer, surfing the web and chewing gum are all good for you!  Huzzah!

1. Getting pissed off can keep stress in check

Anyone who has ever known me knows that once I'm pissed, I'm PISSED and you're gonna know it!  My temper, in the past, has been legendary. 

As I've gotten older I've tried to curb the anger which, it turns out, has re-manifested it's ugly head as anxiety. Great! 

So guess what people, pissed off is back on the menu!  Wooohoooo!   So when you see me yelling at someone in traffic, remember, I get mad, I get mad, I get mad.... everybody gets mad, it ain't bad to get mad...

2. Downing coffee could cut your cancer risk

Thank Juan Valdez for coffee!  Not only does it help with the morning thing (so not a moring person) but it also helps with the big "C"...   no, not that "C"...  perv. 

3. Being a slob may help you breathe easier
I've never made my bed in my life. G Damn I am healthy!

 4. Drinking beer may benefit your heart and bones

I love beer!

5. Chewing gum can improve your long and short term memory and can keep you trim

Evidently I need to chew more gum... 

6. Surfing the Internet might tune up your brain

Facebook, need I say more?

Where The Wild Things Really Are

Does this give you the creeps or what?!   It's coming to get you...   

While perusing the NYT, I came a cross an article with this picture.  I can't tell you what the article was called as I was mesmerized and disturbed by the photo.   I had no idea something like this existed for real.
This thing truly gives me the heebs.   I don't like looking at it, but I am unable to look away.
The story goes on to list other bizzare creatures like blob fish, hairless cats and for some reason, a blood hound.
