Today, or is it the Present?

Deciding to do a more, philisophical blog, I am going to contemplate Today vs. the Present. First, the Present has the better name. Who doesn't like presents??

Points for the Present.

Today, is a very tricky one, for it changes each day. Gives it a very mysterious feel to it. Everyone like mysteries.

Points for Today.

But, Present covers a larger span of time then Today does. Today covers one day at a time. The Present covers the current time, regardless of the time.

Points for both, since it all really depends on the time you wish to cover in you statement. So I just answered the entire debate in one sentance, and just wasted the main part of today's entry.
But it was fun to read right?

For the first time, I am letting you, the reader, decide. Which is correct, Today, or the Present? Vote now at http://elpresidentesblogs.blogspot.com

Today, I encouraged someone to reach their optimal performance. Stepping out of your comfert zone is courage right? If it isn't, I will be quite upset, and someone will be reciveing a very strongly worded letter. No one would want that, now would they?

Points for me,

MD

Absolutely! In fact, I hadn't ready your blog yet but ours are along the same issue! God is sweet!

The Present is much coolier, it is all capitalized.

Termites eat wood twice as fast when listening to rock music.

so i'm thinking about stepping out of my comfort zone and eating a whole jar of peanut butter that is past its "sell by" date. is that courage? i'm not sure. we could probably ask the cowardly lion. he knows a lot about COURAGE...

Present is much better because the word has so many other meanings: ie. "i got a present for my bday!" or "matthew driftmeier?" "...present" or "i am happy to present you with a check for five kajillon dollars".

Today only means today. Unless, you switch around the letters...then you get toady. Hmmm...that changes things.

I like the present. Tougher to nail down. 5 seconds is now the past, but the next 5 seconds haven't happened yet. The present can't be any of those things, so the present is less than 10 seconds, right? See, once you get to college you get to be as confusing as I!
I like your blog. The entries make me laugh. Too bad I'm such a failure at keeping mine up to date. I always look back on them and find myself rather ridiculous anyway.
Sorry it took a while to write back. Tell Mom I can't write her emails, they keep getting sent back to me. Also, my laptop died, I had to buy a desktop. >:( But at least I'll get to play Portal now.
Hope things are still cool over there. Keep me up to date. You know my email.
