Sum kinda life eh?

This came from those fantastic podcast guys over at WYNC Radio Lab
http://www.wnyc.org/ which is based on a story on the afterlife by
David Eagleman from his amazing book SUM. It is quoted as
'These wonderfully imagined tale–at once funny, wistful, and
unsettling–are rooted in science and romance and awe at our
mysterious existence: a mixture of death, hope, computers,
immortality, love, biology, and desire that exposes radiant new
facets of our humanity.

I love it - its inspiring and if you like quirky stuff - this is for you:

'In the afterlife you relive all your experiences, but, this time with all the
events shuffled into a new order:  

You spend 2 months driving the street infront of your house

7 months having sex

You sleep for 30 years without opening your eyes

For 5 months straight you sit reading magazines on the toilet

You take all your pain at once – all 27 intense hours of it: bones break,
car crash, skin is cut, babies are born, but once you make it through its
agony free for the rest of your afterlife.

That doesn’t always mean it pleasant:

6 days clipping your nails

15 months looking for lost items

18 months waiting in line

2 years of boredom staring our of bus windows, sitting in an airport terminal,

1 year reading books

200 days taking a shower

2 weeks wondering what happens when you die

1 minute realizing your bodys fallen

77 hours of confusion

1 hour remembering you forgot someones name

3 weeks realising your wrong

2 days lying

6 weeks waiting for a green light

7 hours vomiting

14 minutes experiencing PURE JOY

3 months doing laundry

15 hours writing your signature

2 days tying shoelaces

67 days of heartbreak

5 weeks driving lost

3 days calculating restaurant tips

51 days deciding what to wear

9 days pretending you know what is being talked about

2 weeks counting money

18 hours staring into the refrigerator

34 days longing

6 months watching commercials

4 weeks sitting in thought wondering if there was something better
you could be doing

3 years swallowing food

5 days working buttons and zippers

4 minutes wondering what your life would be like if you shuffled the
order of events... 

In this part of the afterlife you imagine something analogous to your earthly life…
and… the thought is BLISSFULL

… A life where episodes are split into tiny swallowable pieces, moments do not
endure, where one enjoys the experience of jumping from one event to the next
like a child, hopping from spot to spot… on the burning sand.
