Today

Today. It's now. The present. Not the future. What's the deal, though. What is going on? It seems like now more than ever people are moving up or moving down. Things are changing today. They'll be different tomorrow. It's as if we are in his amoeba of life and we either chase it like a dog chases its tail, or we wait for it to hopefully come around to our side of life, or certain people have some innate ability to know where it'll be and how to use it and control it. I read about them in books and magazines, see them on websites and billboards. Of course they are there. They aren't here. They know something I don't. They do something I'm not. But how? Why? What is the difference, what is the deal?
I look around at the amount of things to do and how to be at the top of something. Just think about the Phelps, the Lebron, the Murdoch, the Tom, the Jessicas, the Dr.s, the actors, the nominees, the running mates. With the billions of people and the millions and millions of byways in life, odds are in my favor. Just take out the lazy and unable and I should have a straight shot to success, right? Then what's wrong? And why am I stressing? I'm only 22. I'm stressing becuse I have only today. That is what I know and can count on. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is always out of reach. I have today. And today is always different, always changing. Like an amoeba of life.
