Sarah asks me this all the time. "Is today tomorrow?" I'm not sure what she means. I always say "yes" though because today is tomorrow. If it's not, you're dead, and there is no tomorrow. And today will always be yesterday, though it will always be yesterday even if you die tomorrow. Follow? Okay, so if today is tomorrow and today is always yesterday, then is tomorrow the day before yesterday? And if tomorrow never comes, will it ever be day after tomorrow? Just kiddin. Of course tomorrow always comes. It has to. Even if the Earth exploded, tomorrow would continue to happen, day in, day out. Yesterdays will always happen too. That's what I think is so cool about "time" in general: it always happens. You can't stop time. You can't manipulate it, you can't change it. It has no variables...it is what it is. And like I said if the Earth blew up and the sun collided with the moon, and if the only thing left of our galaxy was space dust, tomorrow will still happen. And when tomorrow gets here, today will be yesterday.
Hootie and the Blowfish had a song called Goodbye and the lyrics started like this...
Tomorrow used to be a day away
Now love is gone and you're into someone far away
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand not mine
Holding on to yours because I could not find the time
And now I can't deny
Nothing lasts forever
But I don't wanna leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
I don't wanna live to see the day you say goodbye
Now love is gone and you're into someone far away
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand not mine
Holding on to yours because I could not find the time
And now I can't deny
Nothing lasts forever
But I don't wanna leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
I don't wanna live to see the day you say goodbye
Ok, so, tomorrow used to be a day away? that's a constant, tomorrow will never be more or less than a day away. He never thought the day would come? Never? The day always comes, Darius. Couldn't find the time? Nothing lasts forever? Doesn't want to live? Good God man. Whoever wrote this song has some serious high school love going on for someone. Who talks like that? Seriously.
Well, The good news is that tomorrow will be here soon. Today is almost yesterday and yesterday...well, yesterday...all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it seems a place to hide away, oh i believe in yesterday.
