Life is what’s happening now.

Perhaps this is just a limitation of my hermeneutic (i.e. living within time), but it is easy to forget that life isn’t tomorrow or the future, it is what is happening to me and what I am doing right now.
When I forget this, it is easy to do things for the wrong reason. An example is imbibing in media simply for the sake of distraction. If I think the cool thing I’m going to do tomorrow is “real life” and I just need to get there so I can live, it becomes much easier to do things I don’t really want to do in order to pass the time until tomorrow gets here.

There was an episode not too long ago (or, at least I watched it not too long ago on abc.com) where the Portia character had a running diologue with (no, at) that blond subordinate where she was commenting on each moment as it happened. “How about this moment… yes, it's a good one. And how about this one? I hope you enjoyed it, because it's gone. And how about this moment here?”

I remember that now. It may have been on my mind, but it wasn't the direct cause. I can't remember if I saw it before writing this.
