Every so often a ridiculously tenuous metaphor is helpful.  As a beginner in Spanish I can only communicate in the present tense.  I am able to tell you about me now and what I'm about to do, I can inform you about what I like and don't like, and of course - I can count at you.

I've spent a disproportionate amount of time analysing the past, who I've been in an attempt to make sure I better myself.  I keep reviewing what I've done and where I've been to make sure I'm interesting enough...

So here's to living in the moment, without baggage or a backwards glance.  Here's to looking at things as they stand now, embracing the present and living a little.  Here's not caring a little less what others think, or what I perceive them to think... here's to the present tense.
