My apartment is 3Y...

                   As In Why.....


At work I have received many ridiculous messages. One of my offices all time favorites from a man in apartment 3Y. He left me a message to call him back and that his apartment was 3Y as in Why Not? I wanted to call him back and inform him that Why starts with a "W". But I think it's funnier to allow him to continue thinking Why starts with a "Y".

Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero...

That's the whole quote. The last line of a poem by Horace. Don't worry I'm only concerned about the first two words, Carpe Diem, loosely translated to Seize the Day. You didn't have to take Latin to know what it means, you could have just seen Dead Poet's Society where Mr. Keating teaches them to throw out the old and live for the moment. Pretty simple except for someone who recently stated in my class on films it's "Cease the day". Hhhmmm, cease the day, stop the day? Does that make sense???  Especially since we are watching Dead Poet's Society in the class. Did it really look like Robin Williams was stopping the day? OK well maybe stopping the learning of the day, but the day it's self no he was teaching them how to embrace life and live for the moment. What truly scares me is the person that used the word cease is a teacher and I'm afraid for our youth.
