My gym’s internet usage restrictions won’t let me link to this, but in the new Blender, Lil Wayne says something so ridiculously simple and profound I can’t stop thinking about how right-on it is:

Life’s too short for me to die tomorrow and the only thing I know about is the last episode of Law and Order.

Right now I hear Ray Of Today screaming for you to wake up and liiiiiiiiiive. I know, I know, I know — it’s a sentiment so unoriginal as to be thoroughly cliched, but goddammit, how many people do you know actually live by this? Especially those of us who heard Catharsis beg us not to settle for nothing? Wayne gets a ton of credit here. Choose life or death, but decide on one or the other. You see that "But I’d Rather Be Alive" tattoo up on my logo? It’s not on my arm — the miracles of Photoshop — it’s across my shoulders, pushing me forward.
