In Pursuit of Awesomeness

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.” - Mary Anne Radmacher

2008 in Numbers

12-30-08

I hate numbers. It’s only during certain situations where I’d welcome the sight of numbers. For example, pay day harhar! I mean, who would love to do Calculus all over again eh? It’s nuts. (I bet all the math geeks are up and arms already with their protractors and calculators.) Kidding guys. But really, numbers are very helpful in defining things. They even give you a “sense of definition” to things you didn’t think that could be defined. The reason why I brought up numbers was because I wanted to define 2008 via numbers. Just for the heck of it. I wanna answer the question: “So Wits, how was your 2008?”

 

  • Weight: 125-145 lbs.
  • New shoes : 2
  • Car accident : 1
  • Cups of coffee : 457
  • Books read : 7
  • Days absent from work : 9 
  • Missed lunch : 21
  • Missed dinner : 29
  • Didn’t eat for the whole day : 5
  • Danced in the rain : 3
  • Number of times I caught 8 hours of sleep : 30
  • Number of times I missed sleep :15
  • Days confined in a hospital : 5
  • Gym : 2
  • Moved houses : 2
  • Parking spaces : 3
  • Number of times I got caught by the traffic police : 0
  • Number of hours I spent reading blogs, Cracked.com and comics : 60++
  • Number of friends I have on Plurk : 50++
  • Facebook requests : 102
  • Bottles of beer : lost count  X_X

I know it’s a really rough definition. I’d probably come up with something with more content in it. 2008 was really a life changing year. Heck, every new year seems to be a life changing year. It was action packed, and full of … events. Both happy and sad. To use numbers to define something subjective would be foolish., not to mention very inadequate. But yeah, I’m looking forward to 2009. I hope the numbers this time is more favorable than the last.
