Buy me a coffee?
Writing this blog is a labour of love, and one which I evidently need a little encouragement towards on occasion. If you like what I write, the best way to show your gratitude would be to fuel my caffeine addiction and buy me a coffee to say thank you. All coffee donations are gratefully accepted!
Well… He’s right insofar as the number of heartbeats that a human has during his lifetime is not infinite. His implication that the number is set from the beginning is rather obviously wrong, or exercise would shorten your lifespan, and the best you could do for your longevity would be to lie in bed and move as little as possible. Okay, so I may be a bit too much of a literalist here, but I bet that there are better quotes out there about not wasting your time. Also, to but “wasting time into perspective:
“Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”

Also, should you ever feel too happy, this should be able to reliably bring you down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qbMSQEgOjY
I now feel compelled to create an astronaut quotes page.
If you do, please send me a link to it! :D
