Tomorrow Tomorrow will be Today

Have you seen that episode in Scrubs where JD comes to terms with the idea that he wants what he can't have, it all concludes with the rather overplayed scene at the end with him finally getting his girl (elliott) and immediately realising he doesn't want her anymore. As you can probably guess from my unvaried and seemingly self obsessed format i am about to relate this to something in my life. Please don't be mistaken however and think the relation is direct, it is far from and i hope carries a higher degree of subtlety.
Do you ever watch a film and wish you were one of the characters, or think back on a memory and wish you were there. Do you ever long for change or endlessly plan for the future with the future always remaining the future and the plans always remaining just plans? If you do then maybe we should talk, we could go for a drink, sit around in a coffee shop discussing how we just can't seem to make it to whatever it is and looking around at everyone else wondering how they made it, or if not how they fail to make it with such style.
Time can be wasted thinking of better times, lives can be wasted hoping for better lives. Those memories of times you miss, really think back to them, was anything really that different or did you spend that time in your head doing exactly the same thing? Right now could be the time you're missing in 5 years, so why not enjoy it.
i remember when i started in my first band and wished i could be in a band that wrote it's own songs. i remember being in my first band that wrote it's own songs and wishing i could write my own songs. i remember writing my own songs and wishing i could perform them. i remember performing my own songs and wishing they were better. My dreams came true and before i had time to enjoy them i made new dreams. i'm not discounting an attitude to push yourself on and keep looking higher, contentment can be an enemy as much as a friend but i need to learn to enjoy these moments too. We'll never truly make it to the top, there is no top, just another rung on a never ending ladder, but i can try and get as high as possible and make sure i enjoy the climb.
Tomorrow i have some exciting plans, i shall write songs and compile some poems into a format maybe for sharing. i think i'm going to have fun doing it.
Bless you friends.
