That,
more or less, is thirty-five million, five hundred twenty-three thousand, nine
hundred and eighty six minutes ago (after all is it only based on that day and
today’s day, not on exact time born nor exact time today) there appeared yet
another human being on this particular planet: me
The
fun that one can get up to online is highly entertaining.
This
“fact” came thanks to a friend’s sending me a link to a web-site that
calculates what the favorite song was on the day that you were born. Of course
once there, a number of other “important” calculations can be made, including
how many minutes ago one was born.
Does
this change the world? Change anything? Even slightly interesting?
Not
really, but in the “good ‘ol days” one would actually have had to sit down and
physically calculate it whereas here in seconds one knows, for better or for
worse.
Continuing I clicked on the top radio songs
of that year: Dinah Shore, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee, Bing Crosby, Doris Day,
Mahalla Jackson, Ella Fitzgerald, Perry Como, Gene Autry, Al Jolson, Tommy
Dorsey, and many I never heard of, including a wonderful title by Evelyn
Knight: “Powder your face with Sunshine”
Ah… what a wonderful thought and especially
as it is currently still gray outside,
think I’ll hold that thought – where can one wear sunshine (or good cheer or
friendliness) better than on one’s face!
