January 21, 2014. One day this will just be another date. And 2014 will just be another year on a long timeline. And the music we thought was cool; will be old. And the music before today's generation; will be ancient. And the generations before that; will be unheard of. All the movies we thought were amazing, will be nothing but "classics" to them. All the books that Hemingway and Jane Austen wrote will cause them to have to think about where they've heard those names before. Time is not manipulative. You can not pause it. You can not rewind it, nor fast forward it. Yet, you can live in it. So, live for now, not then. c.r.k.
