Or, if you want to be more precise, I’m going to die on:
As of this posting, I have 1,573,474,005 seconds left to live
That’s Death Clock’s prediction for me.
I actually googled the word “die” and reached there.
No, am not usually morbid, but this has been an unusually dramatic day.
I’m so drained. And to think, I’ve got half a decade century more left to go (after being informed that 5 is not equal to 50) sigh.
Things to do when you’re feeling down
(also can be read as: things I did further to above posting)
** Stop googling stupid words like “die”.
** Stop listening to ‘Fix You’ on repeat. Listen to Joyce Meyers Podcasts that you’ve been downloading for just this day.
** Talk to insane friends (like this one in particular. It helps if like her, your friends are very insane)
** Walk 10 mins on treadmill (you will lose 10 calories and apparently it’ll help “release hormones” so I was also informed).
** Eat Dinner. Also Eat Chocolate Honey Crunches (you’ll put on at least 400 calories but the chocolate releases endorphines, feel-good hormones)
** Ponder on how many hormones your body is releasing.
** Flip Channels. Watch only the good uplifting stuff:
1) Rob Schneider in The Animal (for one of these days, any Rob Scheider film will do)
2) Cool Runnings. Listen to insane, funny and inspirational stuff like: “a gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you’re not enough without one, you’ll never be enough *with* one” (realise that success is from within)
3) Favorite Seinfeld episode - The Parking Garage (I actually think of this episode, without fail, every single time I’m in a car park).
** Realise Kramer just said something you need to hear (sorry though, just a little after the clip above):
“Well, I once saw this thing on TV with people who are terminally ill. Everyone of them believed that the secret of life is just to live every moment.”
** Decide to live in the moment. Look in the mirror (and realise you’re gorgeous! 
)
** Look in the mirror and make faces at yourself (make them until you’re laughing out loud that you’re making faces at yourself).
** Put all your favorite dance songs on your winamp. Now turn the volume up LOUD. Sing along (even if you don’t know the words). Dance (yes, you can, no one’s watching).
** Bend forward. Get on your tippy toes. Now start moving your butt, legs and arms to your favorite Salsa song (feeling better already, aren’t you?!)
** Blog (hey, it always makes me happy!)
** Count your blessings.
** Read the Bible, or View this (click presentation)
** Hold God’s hand (and let love sink in!)
** Send me an email (melodysvoice(at)gmail.com - I’ll mail you back an eHug. Hey, what are friends for?)

Half a century. 50 years. A decade is 10 years and half of that is 5 years. 5 is not equal to 50.

Hey, mine is Thursday, September 16, 2077. Now why am I going to live that much longer than you??? (Perhaps because I chose the optimistic option)
November 15th, 2007 at 8:53 am
here’s another e-hug!
November 15th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
lol .. coincidence .. im pretty depressed these days too . so much that my friends have started calling me Emo
hey whts up with this god/bible stuff ? i didnt know u were superstitious .. ah well ..
well i think there will be no depression if you have a purpose in life . If you havent found yours life is meaningless.
here this may help :

OMG! And were you actually browsing thru the blogworld at 4AM in the morning? I know you loved Australia. But to start waking up to Aussie time may be taking it a bit too far, no?
November 15th, 2007 at 10:59 pm
@ Vij: Merci beaucoup. Changes made.
@ NM: Thx, but I don’t wish you a down day ever! Hugs!
@ Prasoon: Wokay. Here …. catch…
@ Mario: ok then!
@ IC: Yes, that’s probably why. My optimistic option was higher too. This was the normal version.
@ Shub: Thanks love! And right back atcha!
@ Dragon: “anw, i tried your steps .. i finally cheered up (read: cracked up) ”
Wow! Now you made my day!! Glad I could help! Stay cheery!
@ Khush: It’s not an accurate science don’t worry! It is based on smoking and BMI though, maybe a call to take more care?
@ Vij: Absolutely. Hugs Vij, you are always an inspiration!
@ Shantanu: D’ya know, I never went to sleep?! It’s been a ridiculous week, complete insomnia, every night only after 4.30/5. One night I didn’t sleep at all. At 8 am, went for a bath started with the new day! Am trying to snap out of it though, before I get any more
!!

Thanks to you, I’m dying in 2057.
Comforting indeed.
Don’t even be happy that my date is not a beautiful girl but August 15th (Independance day indeed).
November 16th, 2007 at 1:34 am
Sorry you seem to be down lately…hang in there..I will pray for you right now!!
My Fave: Psalm 91:14-15
“Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
November 16th, 2007 at 11:22 am
@ Kate: Merci! Am all good now. Have some down moments, but have never not felt the love or protection of our beautiful God. I know that’s why I’m always able to bounce back & be stronger than ever - Grace

I can suggest one thing for you…. step outta the building…. you i-pod plugged firmly into your ears… load on a dance number.. and dance on the roads…. trust me… you’ll feel so stupid then.. you might stop thinking abt anything else at all!!
November 18th, 2007 at 10:15 pm
hey…
ek chota basic sawal:
what prompted you to google “DIE”..?
November 19th, 2007 at 12:59 pm
That clock is messed. I entered sadistic has a mode and it predicted I die in 2016.
November 29th, 2007 at 10:32 am
@ gps: ok then. Will put flowers on your grave. eFlowers perhaps
@ Ashish: Merci. Am all cheered up anyway. It was just a small thingie. And why are you sad at being around for a while on the planet?
@ Sam: You know what, I actually do that at times! I also find flinging my hands up in the air really works for me
@ Abhishek: Well, was just in a rather stupid alternative mood that time!
@ Mario: Well if one chooses the sadistic mode, one must accept messed results!
