[ [P.O.Y.] Today Is A Gift ]

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift and that's why they call it - the present."

Somebody claimed this quote was from Zoolander, but I doubt it

Whenever I'm experiencing a great moment, the past and the future don't matter, unless I'd wished this moment happened sooner and could last forever. Moments of hilarity, of sexual arousal, of victory, of peace, of joy, of clarity, of discovery, when you've spent countless hours fixing an electrical appliance or working on the design on your webpage: when everything falls into place, that's when the present moment matters.

Like going to countless auditions and getting the call to be in their production.

Like being at a crappy job and hearing someone tell you you're doing a great job.

Like surfing the channels for something decent and falling upon a favourite cartoon you use to watch when you were a kid.

Like being caught in a heavy rainstorm and deliberately splashing every puddle with gusto in your path.

Like an unexpected phonecall from a relative you haven't talked to in ages.

Moments are so brief, especially the more dramatic ones that stand out and resonate.

Speaking of which, it was 3 years ago today. Ask anyone what they were doing on this date and they'll definitely remember. It had such an impact on everyone's lives. No matter what your opinion on the whole thing, you have one. That day, I was in a puppet show and it was our 3rd or 4th show later on that day. I also remember hearing an airplane overhead and just the sound of the jet engines struck fear in me. At least I think they were jet engines: weren't all the planes prevented from flying that day? Might've been the air force or something. Anyway, it's a moment we'll never stop hearing about.
