You only get one life to live
So live every second of it
like it is the last you will ever get


if the world ends in twenty twelve
i want to be able to say
i had a good run.

there is nothing i wouldn't give
to say i had so much fun
that i not only survived
but i really lived
because you only get one
life, much too short
so make it count

I wrote this on New Years when I was thinking about how some people believe the world will end in 2012
