A Dead Poets Society

The whole point is, we all die at some point. It's unavoidable. So, CARPE DIEM. Seize the day, right? So why don't we? I mean.. how hard could it be? VERY. Live every day as if it were your last.. One problem, it isn't. It's fun to pretend, sure. But there are consequences.

SENARIO: I carpe diem.. walk up to. . . (we'll call him Mr. So-and-so..) Anyways.. I grab him by the hand and kiss him.. PROBLEM. This little thing called, the next day. Don't get me wrong, i'm all for Carpe Diem but

. . . it sounds like a fish.

Anyway, I decided I aught to actually, you know.. seize the day rather than just walk around saying, "carpe diem!!" because it sounds cool. And let's face it, it's fun to say, but it can really make you feel like a hypocrit.

Example--
Teacher: And remember kids, CARPE DIEM! *goes home.. raids fridge. grabs a pint of triple fudgey bluebell icecream and watches pretty woman. again. repeat as necessary.*

But I digress. hypocrisy isn't really anything new, is it now?
