“Remember that there is only one important time and that is Now. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion. The most important person is always the person with whom you are, who is right before you, for who knows if you will have dealings with any other person in the future. The most important pursuit is making that person, the one standing at your side, happy, for that alone is the pursuit of life."
- Leo Tolstoy
I would like to meet the person pictured above. No...wait. HAH-ME-GAWD! Ah - that's right! I already know him! He's my brother Max! Well...at least I think I know him...and I think I've met him on a number of occasions. A version of him anyway. Allow me to explain myself...that is, if you don't mind getting a little philosophical for a second here now. Ideally, people are different whenever time has the opportunity to pass...which is at most times as any mortal would know; so technically when I go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning (when I'm home at least)...and I see him...and we both say good morning...and we're both puttering around and making breakfast...I'm meeting him all over again! I talked to the Max I knew yesterday, but I haven't met the Present Max. See? So yesh, Maximus is someone I would like to meet. Continuously. For a long time.
Weird photos of my parents...don't mess.
