spatio brevi spem longam reseces.
dum loquimur, fugerit invida aetas:
carpe diem quam minimum credula postero.
Scale back your long hopes to a short period.
Even as we speak, envious time is running away from us.
Seize the day, trusting little in the future.
Today is Mardi Gras. That's French for Fat Tuesday. It's also known as Carnival, Fasching, and Shrove Tuesday among other things, with roots probably going back to more pagan times. The dates of this celebration are different, depending in which country you reside. In New Orleans, Carnival starts on *Ephiphany, January 6th and ends on Fat Tuesday so carpi diem! What is your pleasure? Seise the day! And Californians, don't forget to vote today!
*Epiphany is a Christian holiday celebrating the visit of the Magi (The Three Wise Men), or the baptism of Jesus.
It is also the sudden realization or comprehension of the essence or meaning of something.
