Now that I look at it, this quote is the wrong thing to chalk about today.
I don’t want to talk about deadlines or procrastination. I don’t want to talk about the fact that 1975 is fifty years ago or that we are already a quarter of the way into the new millennium.
1975 isn’t supposed to be fifty years ago. 1929 should be fifty years ago. The Great Depression should be fifty years ago, not the Nixon Administration.
It was just last week that I had to worry if my AOL account was going to shutdown because of the Y2K bullshit.
I am starting to realize all the shit that I didn’t get done throughout all the years, just doesn’t matter.
I can’t go back and do it now and if I ended up doing it wrong….
….maybe I ended up doing it right after all.
I’ve been alive for 21,450 days and if I play my cards right, I have 9,555 days left.
The Latin phrase of the day that should go with today’s theme is probably “Carpe diem.”
I went with “Audentes fortuna iuvat” instead. Which means “Fortune favors the bold.” I’ve met many bold people that risked it all and pushed the boundaries. Some were successful and some ended up ashamed and unhappy.
Who knows?
What are you going to do?
My weather guy tells me it will be overcast with a chance of rain this afternoon. I think a better Latin phrase for today is, “Vigilia cacas facere supellectilem.” Which means, “watch shit do stuff.”
No deadlines today and it’s alright to procrastinate cleaning the bathroom. Go somewhere and watch shit do stuff. You can do that from your couch or you can do it on a Lake Michigan beach. You can do it on a park bench or you can do it in your backyard.
Take a moment for yourself and watch shit do stuff today. Don’t think about deadlines or all the crap stacking up on the “To Do” list.
Do you want to seize the moment? Seize it by watching shit do stuff today!
“Vigilia cacas facere supellectilem.”
