ONE love, blood, life
I have a friend who drinks, smokes, doesn't eat very healthy, never exercises, and uses dirty words. He's also fairly laid back and genuinely happy. He swears that i will get cancer before him because im uptight and have a stressful job, even though i eat healthy, exercise all the time, and i rarely drink or smoke (compared to him).
He might be right or he might be wrong. But one thing he's pretty sure about is we are all going to die somehow and its probably not going to be fun or by a means of our chosing.
Now that ive been a downer, enjoy your youth folks!
Well, a friend of my parents who is now close to 90, is a bit like that. I don't think he ever smoked but for most of his adult life he was a heavy drinker until he cut back slightly in recent years after heart surgery. He actually made the comment that the week in hospital was the longest he ever remembered going without a drink in decades. He never played any sports, a walk in the country was his idea of vigorous exercise.
