Day Sixty-Three - The Final Countdown

In stark contrast to yesterday's optimistic and positive energies for the new year post, I decided to make today's thing of the day something a little more pessimisstic [and therefore a little more me]. Since we're all dying - wouldn't it be nice to know when? You could mark the date on your calendar and be done with it. My friend Seth used to have his death clock as his screensaver and it always stressed me out. That's right, today I forecasted my death via the internets. I actually used three different calculators, just to be sure I was getting accurate results. And here they are:

January 12th, 2058
December 30th, 2061
February 1st, 2068

I think the middle date is my favourite one - it's right near New Years...no need to start a new year if you don't plan on living through it. However, that would make me 82 years old which seems super old [I do come from a family of long-livers, generally]. It's also a long time to live when you're already old - if you know what I mean? These calculators are rather dubious - one of their main deciding factors is BMI and while mine is quite low, it's not because I eat healthily and exercise. So I'm not really all that fit.
