Are You Living Your Life Yet?

This morning I was browsing through the Web and came across a blog I had completely forgotten about; Wake Up Tiger.  The blog written June 22, 1012 caught my attention probably because of the cute baby picture or maybe the title; When You Were Born....  I have no idea where the author got his information; probably some ridiculous study our great American taxpayers paid for but it did make me do some thinking.  The blog went as follows:

When you were born....
You will share your birthday with 18 million people.
During your 12 years of school you will have an average of 17 friends.
By the time you're 40 that number will have dropped down to 2.

You will grow 950 km of hair.
You will laugh an average of 15 times a day.
You will walk the equivalent of 3 times the circumference of the Earth.
You will have eaten 30 tons of food.

On average you will spend 10 years of your life at the office.
20 years sleeping.
3 years shitting.
7 months in traffic.
2 months waiting on hold on your phone.
12 years watching TV.
19 days searching for the remote.

This will leave you with less than one fifth of your life to actually live.

So what the fuck are you waiting for...?!

Whoa! I'm 62 years old.  How much longer do I have to actually live?  Good thing I'm retired and already started this serious living process.  I plan to be one of those people whose completely worn out by the end of their lives because they tried everything.  As Conrad Twitty sang in Bye Bye Birdie "I've got a lot of living to do!"
