You will never live to be 18
My mother would swear up and down a few times that I would not make it to the age of eighteen. Of course, it was just little things that kids get in trouble for that made her say it. Luckily I made it past the big day in one piece.
So lately I was thinking about milestones with age and such. Being 18 is the big one because you get so many rights and privledges (along with the satisfaction that your mom wasn’t rite for a change). At age 21, you are permitted to legally drink. At age 25, you are able to rent vehicles. At age 35, you can become president. When I become 65, I may be able to retire work as a wal-mart greeter.
As you get older, there seem to be some pretty large gaps. I figured out a new milestone that is comming up. 1 billion seconds. Call me crazy, but I figured it out. On February 3rd of next year (2007), I’ll turn 1,000,000 seconds old at approximately 7:26 and 40 seconds in the morning.
I’m estimating that I was born between five and six in the morning. Either way, my billionth birth second will be that day. So how old is that in years? Thirty one. So if you are
at 31 years of age and about four months from your next yearly birthday, I wish a happy billionth bithsecond to you.
