Carpe Annum Tee
A term meaning "Seize the Year" coined in 1995 by author and speaker Jay Payleitner as a takeoff on "Carpe Diem." Payleitner later created a 250-word inspirational essay making its way around the internet. (Below is an excerpt) CARPE ANNUM Advance with grace and assurance into the next twelve months. What you will achieve, whom you will be, one year from today has not yet been determined. The mind gladdens imagining the possibilities. Surely, there’s work to be done. Lessons to be learned. Mountains to be moved. Dark forces to be vanquished. An urgency, yes. Yet tempered with patience that accompanies an eternal perspective. Begin by doing what comes easy. That’s your sweet spot. A gift to give back to the world. If you can dance, dance. If you can build, build. If you can teach, teach. If you can hug, hug with all your heart. Proceed with excellence. Then be ready. Sometime in the next year—serendipitously, but not really—you’ll discover a truth that changes your life forever. Step into your mounting quest with confidence, not compulsion. Each day is long, but the year is short. Strive not for 365 endeavors. Breathe. Pause. After all, there are trees to climb and stars to count, dandelions to pick and lullabyes to whisper. To seize each season, do what's right in front of you, and do it better than anyone thought you could. Live in your own lane—not someone else’s—doing what you’ve never done. And the year will be yours. The best ever. -- Jay Payleitner

Great shirt. Great service. Shopify doesn’t track the shipment accurately though. However, when I reached out to Urban Dictionary customer service, they were able to help me.
Wore it to school.
Love this shirt so much
I love this t-shirt that says morbussy. It allows me to show off both my love for Morbius and the fact that I get no Morbussy.
This shirt feels great, perfect fit too.
Great looking t-shirt. Good quality. Printing looks good.
Cool I didn’t order anything I just have a lot of free time and not a lot of hobbies
Fun and soft.
Good stuff! Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this is cursed. You see, whenever i dawn this top-teir, soft, stylish shirt - I proceed to pass out within 46 seconds. The mere act of making contact with the material insues the process of this countdown starting. If I do not quit contact, i will lose conciousness the exact moment the countown hits 0. And when I regain clarity, I find myself in a bathtub - never mine, but a bathtub nevertheless. In the bathtub, there is always various colours of hairdye. I then have to go back home, shirt stained with dye. Very fashionable though! 10/10
