Pass right

Something to remember.

The Ol' Man remains quite cynical, and often on the verge of violence for virtually every little thing that doesn't matter, like a broken headlight on his rapidly aging car, or whether he'll get the balls, ever, to go to the open mic night DOWN THE STREET from the parking lot and actually, you know, do what he wants to do.

But this live for today mantra, spoken by a 10-year-old dying kid -- man, it's way past time to do just this. A friend of OMS once wrote that if you have a modicum of desire and the drive to put it together and roll with it, then it happens -- whatever it is that you want.

He was so right. So hurry. Before it's too late and you're really an old man in a home looking back at life like you're trapped in a Dixie Chicks video.
