Darryl C. RichiePublished 7 years ago in LongevityTop Slang of '17
Whenever I imagine an older person trying to be cool I envision someone saying "yo yo yo" while they flail and cross their arms like a rapper from the 80's. Except instead of looking like a cool ass hip hop artist they look more like someone having a fit and sounding like a total dweeb. OK, maybe that's just me since that is exactly what my father did while I was growing up. My friends would come over, mostly dressed in XXL t-shirts and Phat Farm jeans on, and there would be my dad Yo Yo Yo'n and arm seizuring all up in their face. And never, not once, did any one of those friends say, "Damn your dad is cool".

According to the National Coffee Association's online survey in 2013, 83 percent of adults in the United States consume coffee. That boils down to roughly three cups per person per day - a staggering 587 million cups. The Mayo Clinic doesn't recommend more than 400 milligrams of caffeine daily, which is the same as four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of cola or two "energy shot" drinks. A fatal dose of caffeine can be as much as 10 grams, or roughly the weight of a #2 pencil, which could be found in some 4.7 gallons of coffee.

Do you park as close as you can to where you need to go or do you give yourself the opportunity to take a bit of a walk? Do you purchase a candy bar from the vending machine or do you take the time to pack yourself some healthy snacks? Pick you nose when no one is watching? Pass gas when you think no one can hear or smell? So let's say that you do a whole a range of 'horrible things.' Let's say that you are the picture of 'sloth'....what would happen if you found out that some of the unhealthy things you do, could actually be pretty positive in the long term?

Ellen DeGeneres is one of a kind. In a time where being yourself was sometimes frowned upon, DeGeneres broke the mold and used her comedy to come out of the closet. This wasn’t the popular thing to due years ago. People stayed in the closet and kept the doors tightly shut. But not our Ellen. This comedian paid her dues like the rest of them. She would perform in any and every comedy club and honed her craft. Appearances on Stand Up Spotlight started getting her even more recognition. But, she had a secret. One that she had only shared with her family and close friends. That secret was a big part of who she was because it was who she was. Upon reaching what she thought was the pinnacle of success, a television show about her, aptly titled Ellen, she used this platform to reveal her true self. And then things took a turn. Her announcement overshadowed her talent and it was as if she was shunned from the entertainment industry. Fortunately, that didn’t last very long and she emerged victorious. Haters may hate, but love conquers all.
