Roller Coaster

I like roller coasters, sort of.

Maybe others feel the same...

I stand there looking at the coaster...
"THAT looks fun... I need to ride that."

I wait in line...
"oooohhhh I can't wait... I really want to be riding that."

I am getting in my seat, and as the ride starts...
"Oh crap, what did I just get myself into."

In the course of the ride...
"This is not a good idea, I'm going to die!"
"Oh, I'm OK"
"This is fun!"
"Oh no it's noooooooot"
"Jesus stop the spinning, I'm going to vomit."
"Whew... I still have lunch."
"OK, OK I'm having fun."
"What? It's almost over?"

I get off the ride...
"Let's do it again!"

But its really easy to see that the roller coaster isn't just an amusement park ride,
It's life.

Some stay on the kiddie coaster.

Some people [like me] opt for the biggest baddest thing out there. I just keep riding and riding and riding. Sometimes I drag people to ride with me. Sometimes I THINK someone is riding with me, when really they are on the ground, saying "What the Hell are you doing?"

Sometimes I chose to ride alone.

Sometimes people do better on roller coasters when they have Dramamine.

Yeah... sometimes meds really help.
