20 EVERYDAY THINGS WE'RE ALL GUILTY OF DOING

 

1. Singing along to a song, leaving the room, and seeing if you are still in sync with it when you come back:

2. Spelling "Wednesday" "Wed-Nes-Day":
And "Beautiful" B-E-A-Utiful".

3. Writing the wrong dates on projects so you look like a better student

4. Saying "what" only to realize a second later you understood the person

5. Thinking 1990 was ten years ago:

6. Forgeting the names of everyone you just met immediately
...and hoping a friend gets introduced to them as soon as possible.

7. Cleaning your hands with the condensation from a glass of water

8. Hating books with movie poster covers

9. Throwing away the package of food, only to have to dig it out of the garbage seconds later to check the directions

10. Wiping your cellphone screen so all the smudges go in the same direction

11. Making a mistake while typing a password and deleting everything instead of just using backspace

12. Wondering how many photos of random people have you in the background

13. Despite being an adult with years of school under your belt, needing to recite the whole alphabet every time to find a letter

14. Always stopping the microwave with one second left

15. Always having to keep the line you're reading at the top of the page

16. Speaking to every baby or pet in a really high voice

17. Thinking up soundtracks to a movie that will never be made

18. Sleeping with a blanket regardless of temperature

19. Having fictional arguments in your head

20. And plugging this in wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME:

THE 14 WORST THINGS FOR LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE

1. Spiral Notebooks
 Hurts the side of your hand. The worst are the 5-subject with the extra big rings.
 
2. Writing in a 3-ring binder
You have to do that thing where you fit your hand between the top two, then eventually have to pick it up and fit it in between the bottom two.

3. Only 1 gross lefty baseball glove in gym class
The handsweat of a thousand lefties before you.
 
4. Only 2 pairs of the green lefty scissors in class, 3 lefty kids.
 Scrambling through the scissors to find the ones with the green rubber handles, only to see they're already all gone.
 
5. Ballpoint pens don't work as well because you're pushing, not pulling the ball
The ink will never flow as well for lefties, so our pens stop up more.
 
6. Ink all over the side of your hand
 
7. Bonking elbows with a righty at the dinner table
 
8. iPad Kindle app - left side is back page
This is really annoying - if you prefer to hold it in your left hand, you have to move your hand all the way to the other side to tap. On a real Kindle, page forward is on both sides, thankfully.
 
9. Driver's cup holder is for the right hand
 So you have to hold your cup with your right hand.
 
10. Numberpad is on the righthand side of keyboard
 
11. Dying sooner, so becoming a zombie sooner
Studies have shown lefties die up to 9 years sooner than righties. At least we'll get to eat their brains.
 
12. College desks
College lecture hall desks with postage-stamp sizes desks. You have to twist your back and hold up your arm to use.
 
13. Measuring cups show you the stupid metric side
The cups/ounces side is for the righties. You have to do that thing where you twist your hole arm around to be able to read ounces.
 

14. Cord on the credit card machine pen never long enough
Annoying. Annoying.

5 REALLY EASY WAYS TO LIVE LONGER

1. Get Up--Sitting less than three hours a day adds two years to your life. Other research found sitting leads to about 173,000 cases of cancer a year. Sitting also raises the risk for diabetes and obesity. If you have to sit, consider how to sit healthy and take short and frequent breaks to walk around.

2. Drink Coffee--Coffee can have negative side effects for some people, but it's generally not harmful. A  new report suggests drinking up to six cups a day can help you live longer.

3. Add Fiber--Anyone still eating gummy white bread or white rice is raising the odds of a shorter life. Whole wheat bread and other foods naturally high in fiber like fruits, vegetables and rice, lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, infectious and respiratory diseases, obesity and even some cancers.

4. Cut the Fat--But cut the right fat. The human body needs fats to function, but the problem is saturated fats — the fats from meat and other animal products. Polyunsaturated fats from nuts, avocados and other vegetables are a basic part of the Mediterranean diet, which is also low in meats. Saturated fats also lower sperm count.

5. Take a Hike!--Walking is good for you. A study found that elderly people who walked a quarter-mile had higher odds of being alive six years later. People who walk faster, regardless of age or sex, also live longer than others.

ADAM LEVINE HATES CHRIS BROWN, ALLEGEDLY

According to Star Magazine, Adam Levine hates Chris Brown and he doesn't care if people know how he feels. Adam is apparently still upset over how Chris treated Rihanna.

A source said: "Adam hates Chris Brown. And he has no problem telling people that. During an episode of 'The Voice', Adam flat-out told the guy he would have chosen him if he hadn't sung a Chris Brown song. He said some people might be over what Chris did, but he isn't and never will be.

STEVEN TYLER WON'T RETURN TO 'AMERICAN IDOL'

Steven Tyler isn't returning to "American Idol" next season. 

Fox confirmed that he won't be back and the rocker released a statement saying he is leaving the show so he can focus on his first love Aerosmith.  Tyler said he loved every minute of "Idol" but it's time to bring rock back. 

The Aerosmith frontman served as a judge during the 10th and 11th seasons of "Idol."

He added: "After some long ... hard ... thoughts ... I've decided it's time for me to let go of my mistress ‘American Idol' before she boils my rabbit."

The comment is a reference to the movie "Fatal Attraction". In the film, an obsessed woman kills her lover's daughter's pet rabbit.

 

RELATED: Jennifer Lopez Hints: "It's Time for Me to Go"

Jennifer Lopez is likely following fellow judge Steven Tyler and leaving "American Idol."

J-Lo says: "I love everybody, I love the guys (Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler and host Ryan Seacrest) but I am thinking it's time for me to go and do other things I love to do like films."

And sources say there is no way Lopez can return to "Idol" given her hectic touring calendar, which conflicts with the show's initial filming dates.

UNRELEASED DESTINY’S CHILD MUSIC DROPPING THIS FALL

New, unreleased music from Destiny's Child will drop in November.

There weren't many other details but Beyonce's dad, Mathew Knowles said that along with the album, there are possibilities that Beyonce, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland will get back together for a reunion tour.

Knowles said: "It takes a year of planning to do these tours, but first it starts with the artist wanting to do it. I hope in the next five years that there is a reunion tour. I think it would be incredible. The hardest thing would be choosing which songs they're going to do, because we would want to mix it up with solo hits and Destiny's Child hits. We would have to throw away some number ones from off the set list."
