"Time. Time. What is time? Swiss manufacture it. French hoard it. Italians squander it. Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. Do you know what I say? I say time is a crook."

Peter Lorre in Beat The Devil.
 
I like the stupid version, it's entertaining.

This image makes me sad on so many levels:

a) Parental contributions (or lack thereof)

b) Societal mispriortization (of all the things to get tattooed across your forehead, and I'm open to the idea that there are some that might be worthwhile, why that pop artist?)

c) Poor tattooing skills (I've walked DUI checkpoints lines straighter than that)

d) Unsatisfactory eyebrows (What idiot convinced women they were more attractive without eyebrows?)

Now get off my lawn!
 
Thats a pretty wordy way to say, "Live each day to its fullest."
Or even, "Live each day as if it were your last, for some day youre sure to right."

We've all heard "Carpe Diem" a million times but few of us take it to heart. Sometimes you need something a little more wordy to make it stick.

A few days ago I found an old diary I kept when I was 23 to 24. (I'm 37 now.) Reading through it, it seemed as though I had just written it yesterday. The same problems, concerns, ambitions, aspirations, dreams, everything the same as now. I realized that 14 years have gone by and aside from one thing (visiting Paris) I haven't done or accomplished anything I wrote about in that diary. Hence, this thread.
