Break something.

Have some fun."

"It is human life.
We are blown upon the world;
we float buoyantly upon the summer air a little while,
complacently showing off our grace of form and our dainty iridescent colors;
then we vanish with a little puff,
leaving nothing behind but a memory --
and sometimes not even that."
-- Mark Twain, "Mark Twain's Own Autobiography,"
North American Review, May 3, 1907
