Stop the World and Let Me Offffffffffffffffff

Watching some nutty videos of extreme rides on YouTube inspired this bit of advice.

Worst was seeing a ride called "Top Spin" (pictured) where riders were trying to set a world record for consecutive flips.

Record is 500.

That's INSANE!!!! No, thank you! :<


Poem Artwork

When the world threatens to
spin out from under you,
close your eyes and hold on.
Things will stabilize when
sky and ground remember
to quit bartering for
the top position ... the
dizzy feeling will pass
eventually.  Keep
telling yourself, "Only
a ride, only a ride."
It has to stop, sometime ...

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (1/4)

...we used correlate the Merry-Go-Round with everything spinning out of control...perhaps the up and down upon a poled horse...would be considered a relaxing day in the park today.
well done Karla...

Reminds me of the poem by St Teresa...

Let nothing disturb thee;
Let nothing dismay thee;
All things pass:
God never changes.
Patience attains
All that it strives for.
He who has God
Lacks for nothing:
God alone suffices.

For Some reason these rides were fun when I was young, but now, No Thanks...The longer you stay in one position, upright, on a daily basis, the harder it is to reverse your organs or something. The last time I tried a ride similiar, I lost my guts! Literally!
BUT! I still LOVE rollercoasters!
Fun pen!
Love and Peace~

The world's spinning so fast these days, we don't even need those rides to get sick and dizzy anymore.

A great write...life is like a carnival ride at times, it does seem to spin out of control and just when you think you can't take anymore...life slows down a bit...well done, I'm with on the ride..no thanks! Enjoyed!

I wouldn't mind riding "TopSpin"--course, I'd have to do some serrrrrrrrious watching beforehand and have LOTS of trouble trying to keep myself upright upon exiting said ride. I'd be doing the Shoulder Lean....LOL Like YOU coming off the Orbiter and the Storm, StormSpinner, hummmmmmmmmmm??? LOL You were walking sideways, like a little arachnid--and dragging ME along for the ride! LOL I don't think you'd do too well on this one--my fault. (AGAIN!) Remember "Twister"?? Nuff said!! LOL Excellent write and advice; think I'll keep me stomach where it belongs!! LOL

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twink, Karen Lynn. :D *BURRRRRRRRRRRP*
