Death Clock


Recently I filled in one of those death clock questionnaires on the internet and it said I would be dying at the ripe young age of 72. That's 2045 for those of you keeping score at home. While 72 is not as good as 82, it's sure a hell of a lot better then 54 so I can't complain. Having said that, a month ago I turned 36, meaning, I’m half way done.

I’m half way done!!!

A midlife crisis seems to me the perfect time to look back and so here are some of the things I’ve done in those 36 years:
  • Successfully completed potty training.
  • First communion.
  • Bench pressed 170 lbs.
  • Kissed a girl.
  • Learned to walk.
  • Graduated high school.
  • Worked on several major motion pictures.
  • Made a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich
  • Traveled to two different continents, bringing my total to three.
  • Had two photos hanging in a gallery.


But what would a reflection upon my life be without stating what I have yet left to accomplish with the second half of what is so far (as I’m sure you’ll agree) my amazing life. What I have planned for the next 36 years:
  • Kiss My Girl some more.
  • Hang some more photos in a gallery.
  • Play some baseball.
  • Bench press 170 lbs.
  • Make some good ice cream.
  • Graduate college.
  • Discover life on another planet.
  • Create life on another planet.
  • Destroy life on another planet.
  • Travel to another three continents, not saying which.
  • Make some major motion pictures.
  • Learn to do the Soulja boy.
  • Die.
I have a busy schedule for the next 3.6 decades.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the Soulja Boy?

I can understand now why you choose to be anonymous Anonymous, for you are obviously not hip and with it. The Soulja Boy is as follows:

Now you too can do the hip new craze that swept 2004 off its feet!
