Just feeling great!

I've had a fairly mixed couple of weeks.  Life changes rapidly when you give it a chance.  It happens even wilder if you don't - only you find yourself not on the ride.  You get one spin in the great cosmos, peeps.  Use it.  Make it count.  It reminds me of my most loved poem by Herrick.  Carpe Diem!

TO THE VIRGINS, TO MAKE MUCH OF TIME
~ by Robert Herrick

GATHER ye rosebuds while ye may,
    Old time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
    To-morrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
    The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
    And nearer he's to setting.

That age is best which is the first,
    When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
    Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,
    And while ye may go marry:
For having lost but once your prime
    You may for ever tarry.

While writing this I played: American Idiot from the album "American Idiot" by Green Day, which doesn't fit the sentiment of the poem, but does fit my mood.
