Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be a wrestling fan

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Between season tickets for my two favorite teams, subscriptions to all the various services I need to watch wrestling, YouTube TV, contributing to an RTC, tickets and hotels for the big dance, I end up spending thousands of dollars a year on wrestling, more than I do on all my other entertainment (and other things like books and education) combined.

 

Then I sit down for 2 hours and watch a JV performance from Cornell, Ohio State, and Flo. Ultimately wondering what the hell am I doing with my life.

Anyway, time to go to my BJJ class

At some point you realize you're dying 7 minutes at a time. Other times, you realize you're dying 30 seconds at a time. HEW, indeed.

It's like the alcoholic who makes the mistake of tallying up how much money they spent on beer a six-pack at a time.

I call BS.  I had no idea how long I was dying today.

You're not embarrassed by that?

One and a half years…that’s how long you spend in your bathroom over the course of your life! A poll of 2,500 people revealed that using the toilet accounts for the biggest chunk of time spent in the bathroom – an average of one hour and 42 minutes a week, or almost 92 days over a lifetime. 

Another hour and 25 minutes of each week is devoted to the bath or shower – or more than six months of your life!  The average person then spends just under half an hour each week – or 62 days in a lifetime – drying themselves off. Add in time for brushing your teeth (almost 18 minutes a week) and then throw in time spent applying moisturizers and lotions, makeup, the hours add up. Forty-three percent of people find respite in the bathroom and site it as the only place they get time to themselves. Another 39 percent say they often retreat to the bathroom when they want to think.

So, when you’re choosing the fixtures and decor of this smaller sized room in your home, consider how important a domestic space it is. 

Oh, and… Surprise, surprise, women spend longer in the bathroom than men. They spend a month longer than men with their  equivalent of one year, seven months and 15 days in a lifetime.

Yeah, well. I've been mostly dead all day.

But how do you know it was 7 minutes?

I can't believe I'm the only one who has felt this way. You know when you're sitting there at Beast with 2 guys left on the backside and just praying that the next 90 matches will all end in first period falls? None of you just stared at the clock for six minutes after six minutes after six minutes?

I spend 8 months out the year making fun of the old lady for how much time and energy she wastes reading OK magazine and caring so much about celebrity relationships.  The other 4 months I totally understand her.

Those 2500 people should eat more fiber.  Oatmeal, etc.  Guaranteed photo finish everytime.
