Foot + Toot + L = Flootoot

what i love about this blog is its randomness, its obscurity and the unpredictability of the posts. here is a lil interjection of philosophy to ponder. its called the 'ode to time' and is credited to an unknown author...

"Imagine there is a bank, which credits your account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day,
allows you to keep no cash balance,
and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day.
What would you do? Draw every penny of course!
Well everone has such a bank.
Its name is time.

Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
every night it writes you off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance.
It allows no overdraft.
And each day it opens a new account for you.
Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the days deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back.
There is no drawing against "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits.
Invest it so as to get the utmost in health, happiness and success.

The clock is running. Make the most of today.

To realise the value of a year - ask a student who has failed a grade.
To realise the value of a month - ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realise the value of a week - ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realise the value of one day - ask a daily wage labourer who has kids to feed.
To realise the value of an hour - ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realise the value of a minute - ask the person who has just missed the bus.
To realise the value of a second - ask the man who has avoided an accident.
To realise the value of a millisecond - ask the athlete who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.

Treasure every moment you have.
Treasure every moment shared with someone special.
Treasure the growing up and growing together.
Remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Today is a gift.
That is why it is called present."
