Carpe DOLO

   YOLO has been called "carpe diem for dumb people," I think by Jack Black. But carpe diem is actually terrible advice. "Seize the day, and eat a bunch of pizza and corn chips, all the time." Versus, "YOLO, so I'll not eat a bunch of junk food and maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, or else my future self will be really mad at me."

   It's what people have co-opted YOLO and taken it to mean that gets them in trouble. Right now, though, I'm seizing the day. By scheduling a bunch of posts.

   Seize the Day, You Only Live Once... Actually, that sounds like a 007 flick. You Only Seize One Day. Or something like that.
