“Average American”

I’m 59% an average American–at least according to Kevin O’Keefe. He wrote a book called The Average American, in which he documents his compiling a bunch of statistics about Americans that he had gotten from the Census Bureau.

 Here are some reasons why I’m average:
– I use the Internet
– I live within 3 miles of a McDonald’s
– I wear glasses
– I have visited the ocean
– I can walk under my own power (hooray!)

 And here are some reasons why I’m NOT average:
– I don’t drink soda
– I don’t have all 5 senses
– I’m not between 5’3″ and 5’10” tall (too short! Nooo!)
– My community doesn’t mirror the racial/ethnic makeup of the country (it’s Idahoso white we glow!)
– I don’t believe in God

There you have it. Fun fun! I love statistics and facts.
