  • Carpe Diem

    You know Carpe Diem doesn't seem like such a bad way to live.  Each moment seems to fly by so quickly that people should live life to the fullest.  Not to take unnecessary risks or not plan, but to live in the now and not worry about things that one doesn't have control over.

    I should have asked Morena out when I met her at the Hugo awards last year in LA.   You know I didn't even know who she was.  I just thought that she was an eloquent, pretty, girl on stage accepting an award for a show that I'd never seen.  Frankly, I was only there because my friend John was up for a Hugo.

    I mean I heard of Firefly and Serenity, by way of friends, but never seen myself because I was disinterested in a show that was pitched as a space western.  Shucks.  I figured that she was in it or knew Joss Whedon or something, but that was it.  Looked like she had fans accosting her after the ceremony.  I felt fortunate to catch her when she and her friend were leaving, but you know--Carpe Diem.  And I missed it.

    Different worlds.  Different lives.  Heck you never know.  I guess I'll never know.  It would have been interesting even if the answer was "Sorry, no thanks."  Life don't deal no second chances, does it?
