So many people approach me and ask, ‘How do I stay so young-looking?’ Well, I’ll tell you. I ascribe my handsome visage and fit silhouette to a combination of healthy diet, good hygiene, and strenuous exercise (and denial). I’m going to give you some tips that will help you recover some of the vigor of youth. I’ll even throw in some lifestyle advice. This is what works for me. I can’t guarantee the same results for you, however. I can’t work miracles, Otis. Sorry.
If you follow even a few of these simple steps, you will possibly gain (or lose) either days, pounds, friends, lovers, or jobs.

Lifestyle
Go entirely wireless, ahttp://dragons.Livend bury and/or hide all cords, wires, straps, ropes, strings, and cables. You WILL repeatedly trip over them. It’s only a matter of time before they kill you.
Give up on striving for success. It’s tiring, stressful, and ultimately futile. If you settle for mediocrity, you’ll ultimately become more successful than half the people in the world. That’s pretty good.
Find a hobby that people don’t consider ‘creepy’ or ‘criminal’ or ‘offensive’.8
Avoid lightning, cliffs, whirlpools, quicksand, online scams, and Komodo dragons.
Live, laugh, eat, pray, love, and loaf.
Assume that everyone you meet thinks you’re hot.
Limit your consumption of reality television to zero minutes per day.
Make sure your pets have fashionable outer wear
