Ode to my health

I was hanging out watching some crap B movie with Simon lastnight and going out for a smoke every 5 minutes to protect myself from the immense stupidity of it when I realized that I had smoked almost my whole pack of ciggies that I just opened a few hours before.... no fuckin' wonder my throat was on fire. Not to mention the fact that I hadn't eaten anything all day and it was coming up on 10pm. So, I went back inside and sat on the couch and my daughter came downstairs to give me one more hug before bed, she gave me the hug and looked at me and told me I'm the best mom "on the world" then she gave Simon a hug and ran upstairs to bed. I just sat there and looked at simon and told him we're both being idiots. Simon smokes as much as me and he's a strict meatatarian. He only drinks pepsi, beer or the occasional glass of sugar packed juice. I smoke like it's goin out of style and I tend to forget to eat regularly, it's too damn time consuming. I felt bad about this, not for my own health, but for my kids. What are they gonna do if both their parents kick the bucket at 30-something?
Anyway, I've been hearing all this amazing shit about Green Tea lately, It's like some kind of miracle food... or drink.... It does everything from speeding up your metabolism to protecting your teeth from cavities to preventing and slowing down the growth of certain cancers, and that whole antioxidant thing it's got going on supposedly helps with chronic headaches and skin problems. Interesting...... So I opened up my cupboard and pulled out that box of Green Tea I bought like 3 months ago and made a tea, and it actually tasted kinda good so I made another, then one more... then I went to bed. Woke up this morning feeling a fuck of alot better than I have in a long, long time. It's like I actually had a decent sleep for once, and unlike usual, I didn't wake up with one of those morning headaches I've become accustomed to. Weird... So, it's 12:44 in the afternoon and I'm working on my 3rd Green Tea of the day. I figure I'm gonna replace my usual Diet Coke of Evil with the tea, which means I'll be drinking literally 2-4 litres of it every day, my ulcer's gonna love me for this :)
I know this probably isn't very interesting to alot of you, but it matters to me, and I really like how I'm actually feeling healthy for the first time in years, after just 1 day. Remember when you were young and you never got sick? every day felt like a NEW day and you felt like a little superman or something? Well that's how I feel today, like sickness ain't got shit on me lol.
So, I'm gonna update my blog with this Green Tea stuff and let you all know how it's working out for me every few weeks. I personally think that everyone should start drinking this shit. Japan's got the right idea.

Seacrest OUT!
