I don't know about you guys, but on Facebook I'm seeing a lot of people counting down for enjoyable events in their life like trips, parties, etc.

Now if something is 2 weeks away for example, that's one thing, but I'm seeing some countdowns booked such as:

"California booked 72 days away"
"Cancun booked...58 days!"
"Los Cabos booked, 7 weeks away baby!"

These are events 2-3 months away! Counting down the days to something this far away seems like such a waste of life. I mean, shouldn't you be living every day to it's fullest? Or maybe I don't get it...?

At least they are not as bad as those annoying-ass requests for 'Are you Hot or Not?' applications!

People have way too much time on their hands.

I love countdowns (but not to the point that I advertise them on facebook)

At work I made a countdown for the first day of spring and attached it to the outside of my cubicle. Every person that walks by and reads "12 days till springs" instantly smiles.

Its nice to know that Spring is just around the corner... because Canadian winters suck.

When I'm about to bust a nut, I count it down like it's New Years Eve.

exactly....the present is a present.....some ppl need to learn to enjoy it and stop preoccupying themselves with the future or counting down days for it...

If your comment is about living in the present, then it really doesn't matter how far in advance people are counting down. 1 day or 100, it makes no difference.

Maybe you just wish you had something to look forward to as much.

3 days till my Bday!!!

I have a lot to look forward to, I just don't count it down 3 months in advance.
