Carpe Diem

I believe it means "Seize the day". Since a day is merely a measured interval of time, and thus has no physically seizable parts, this saying may confuse people who don't care much for foreign cliché or for inferring more than one connotation from any particular word. But the way I see it, the general intent it conveys is that of grabbing opportunities whenever they're available - not to let them pass by, because opportunities are unique.

Well, I believe this phrase may have influenced me, based on some recent events in my life. However, it's late and I need to be up in four hours, so I'll be brief. Let's just put it this way - during these last 4 days:

1. I've been exchanging emails with a girl online (who Gabo hooked me up with) since only 4 days ago. I'm still not having coffee with her as Gabo suggests, but a good email conversation is a start.
2. I became EXCELLENT friends with this girl I met at the Sky Lounge at downtown Austin! We share SO many thoughts, SO many likes, SO many priorities!!! And she has a boyfriend... oh well... but she's AWESOME!! We just met 4 days ago... and we get along SO WELL! I'm impressed myself... only 4 days, wow... and we've already gone out swimming and she invited me over to dinner last night. I see a REALLY nice friendship developing here!
3. I just bought a roundtrip ticket to Guatemala from this friday until the next sunday! That's friday 4th - sunday 13th... about 9 24-hour intervals.. that's good, I'd say. I hope I get to see all my friends and family!

Well, that's about it. I'm too tired to write anymore. Night!
