    Can you feel the mold?
    So firm and deadly
    Don't ever underestimate...(i dare you)
    A melody in the breeze coming closer-
    closer to paralasis-
    Not enough- The pigeon eyes caught up
    broke the mold, light wasted

    It's all gone next year anyways

    actualy you can't pick the present WITHOUT picking all three by doing so.

    today IS yesterday's tommarow and tomarow's yesterday!

    and there's more to it then that. the present is an infintisimaly minute micro sub moment, so brief as to almost not exist. of course it is the only point AT which we can make choices. it is thus the future, and only the future those choices can do anything about. the present was created and is totaly a slave to, those choices that were made before it, in it's past!

    so the only way to have a present that is NOT totally crap, is to make our choices on the basis of what kind of future we want, because as soon as we make them, that future BECOMES our present. (and the past's past, is past past past, other then how fond, or not so fond, memories of it may live on to haunt and perhapse occasionaly caution or inspire us)

    That gave me chills AGAIN for some reason when I visualised it. I know what I need to do... I need to think more of my shadow of tomorrow....

    Heres all the lyrics if you want to read them :)

    [Lord Quasimoto]
    Today is the shadow of tomorrow
    Today is the present future of yesterday
    Yesterday is the shadow of today
    The darkness of the past is yesterday
    And the light of the past is yesterday
    The days of yesterday are all numbered in sum
    In the world once
    Because once upon a time there was a yesterday
    Yesterday belongs to the dead
    Because the dead belongs to the past
    The past is yesterday
    Today is the preview of tomorrow but for me
    Only for my better and happier point of view
    My point of view is the thought of a better or try
    Reality is today of eternity
    The eternity of yesterday is dead
    Yesterday is as one
    The eternity of one is the eternity of the past
    The past is once upon a time
    Once upon a time is past
    The past is yesterday today
    The past is yesterday today
    While we're searchin for tomorrow

    [Madlib]
    The light of the past is the light which was
    The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
    The light of the future is the light which is to be
    The wisdom of the future is the light of the future see
    Yesterday belongs to the dead
    Tomorrow belongs to the living
    The past is certified as a finished product
    Anything which has ended is finished
    That which is perfect is finished
    The perfect man is no exception to the rule
    The perfect man of the past is made according to the rule of the past
    The rule of the past is a law of injustice and hypocrisy
    The revelation of the meaning of the law is revealed through the law itself
    The wisdom of the past is the light of the past
    The light which is to be the wisdom of the future
    The light of the future casts the shadows of tomorrow

    I can't seem to find a healthy balance... I used to live in the past, and now I live so strongly in the future that I'm kinda forgetting about the present which in a way is the most important one.

    Living in the past is stupid imo, because it's completely irrelevant now... good experiences leave me with great memories, bad memories depress me and haunt me to no end... either way there's no way to change what's already done.

    I plan for the future, but don't live in/for it, I don't wait and sit on my ass and hope "everything will get better", win the lottery etc... imo that's even more stupid than living in the past... a great way to get absolutely nowhere.

    I definitely live for now, I'm a very impulsive spontaneous person however I still try to do what I feel will improve my life for the future 'todays'... life is only lived right now, moment to moment. Even the best times will end unless you keep creating more of them, as the nature of life is uncertain and constantly changing.
