2009 is the Charles Darwin year, the naturalist who is most well known for the advances he brought forth when it came to theories on evolution, and the concept of 'survival of the fittest'. And I'm starting to think, in honor of what would've been his 100st birthday this year, he's been trying to prove that theory on me.

Today, in the course of twenty minutes, I did not only try to drown in an almost empty bathtub, no, I also proceeded to drop my shampoo behind the washing machine, and hit my head on the back of it when I went to pick it up, only to slip thereafter and land on the floor for not the first time today. I guess Darwin was trying to prove a point there; that those who only survive every accident by sheer luck really don't deserve it. Needless to say, he failed. (And here's to hoping I'm not asking for it now.)

Why am I telling you that? Good question, but I guess I just wanted to give y'all a warning that the tall guy tripping over the water dispenser and flooding your office, that's me. And I'm apologizing beforehand already, just in case. That said, hi, I'm Noah Addison, one of your lifestyle writers, the one with the survival tips when your shower attacks you and tries to kill you. That kind of thing, y'know.

Pleasure to meet you!
