Here are some of the things that sometimes scare me into remembering to seize the day:
- American Beauty, movie with Kevin Spacey
- Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller
- Rabbit, Run, by John Updike
- Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
- Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom
- Any other movies, books, music that paint a somewhat depressing picture but remind you to get the most out of life?

This is a theme that runs through my life, although I only noticed that recently (it probably runs through our entire collective existence, but that point has not hit me yet). So, I am sensitive to stories/movies like that, and among them Vanilla Sky is one of my favorites. Interestingly, many time travel stories, although overtly sci fi and action oriented, usually involve this element as a centerpience (going back in time to change the past for the better). Deja Vu, the recent Denzel Washington flick, picks up a similar theme (although a bit tangential one) of how a human connection forms out of nothing, and thus is one of the more precious things to "seize."
Thanks for the posst
