An 85 year-old lonely man

Thanks to the heavy traffic, I was stuck in the jam for more than 20 minutes. It was not all bad actually. With the extra 15 minutes, I was able to listen to 2 full songs, the morning news and the DJs talking about the sky the sea and everything in between the two.

Something struck me today though. The DJ was talking about a website that could calculate the life expectancy by merely answering some questions.

I am the kind of person who never like to know the future. What the future holds for me is an adventure, a journey and a path that I should discover by my own, I reckon. I do think that the greatest gift in the journey of one's life is the uncovering of the unknowns.

Knowing what the future has installed for us in advance will ruin the fun, the excitement and the mystery.

However, since the website mentioned by the DJ was hosted by a renowned news corporation, I decided to check it out.

After finding out my BMI and answering the list of questions, my life expectancy came up to be 85 years old.

Wow, that's quite good I must say. Although I never thought about how long I should live in this lifetime, 85 years is more than I was expecting. If I can live until 85 years old, I should at least plan something. Maybe I will have the time to travel up north to see the Northern lights at least once in this lifetime.

Whatever the plan is, I must make sure I have someone to share my life with... Just imagine that, an 85 years old man at the old folk's home, spending the entire day either in the bed or the rocking chair... so pathetic and so lonely can...
