"Seize the day"... NOT "cease the day" LOL

Agreed - you don't ever want to use "cease the day", that gives an almost opposite meaning!

Seize the day? Carpe diem.

I think you mean "seize the day". It means to grab hold of it and make the most of every moment. It comes as a translation from the original latin "carpe deim". Read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpe_diem Andrew.
