Thanks for the excitement, Soloflecks, very cute!

Hmm, "enjoy the ride"  reminded me of a collaboration I once did at another forum, in which Alice looks forward to a wild ride...for some reason I'm guided to share it here.

My username was Lightbody and my co-poet is Paradise Child:

Lightbody

                    The Caterpillar took its hookah
                    from its mouth and said:

                    WHO are YOU?
                    What do you do?
                    Are you happy or blue?
                    False or true?

                    Alice answered:

                    I hardly know, sir...
                    my life's in a whir,
                    my mind is a blur,
                    I've not a dollar nor a diller.
                    So pass that hookah, Caterpillar,
                    or I'll crush ya, that's for sher.

   ParadiseChild

                    Caterpiggle wiggle
                    You sure are plush
                    Think I'll sit on you
                    * plants her tush *

                    So whatz yer vision?
                    Whatz the vista?
                    Fill this hookah
                    Wontcha mistah…

                    *~*~*~*~*~*~*

                    Cracked my head
                    open. Colored rain
                    Fall'd skyward from
                    My swirling brain.

                    Twin a minute
                    Knew it t'all
                    Now you kin, Alice
                    Though yer small…

                    But one puff
                    is definitely *not* enough

    Lightbody

                    Alice said:

                    Be quiet, bug,
                    Don't push yer drug,
                    You plushy lug.

                    I'm saving room
                    for the 'shroom.
                    Then I'll ZOOM.
                    Wmmvrrvrrmmmvvrrvrrvrrrrrrrmmmmm...

   ParadiseChild

                    Hmm I see,
                    my Alice chile,
                    what's behind
                    that dainty smile…

                    'Shroom indeed,
                    but for that
                    yewl have to see
                    the Cheshire Cat.

                    Two puffs then
                    before yer gone
                    from me silly
                    billy bong…

   Lightbody
                    Oh fuzzy one, yer really trippin',
                    perhaps you should slow down a bit?
                    I mean the 'shroom on which we're sittin',
                    me on you and you on it.

                    From nibblin' this mound
                    I could get taller or smaller
                    dependin' on which side,
                    and thass a toughie, 'cause, you see,
                    it's perfectly round.

                    Whatevah--it'll be a wild ride!

   ParadiseChild

                    Harrumph! Yes well
                    I *might* have tripped
                    and I wasn't told
                    There was a script

                    How queer indeed
                    Your words be true
                    A mushroom sure
                    as I am blue…

                    Must be the Cheshire kitty lied
                    Or then like now I wuz too fried
                    So psilly fungi's a magic seat
                    From which side will you eat?

   Lightbody

                    [/b]Which side shall I eat?
                    That's tough, as I said,
                    It's so round a seat
                    with, really, no sides,
                    it boggles my head
                    but it's time that I tried...[/b]

                    (Alice stretches her arms around the
                    'shroom as far as they will go, and breaks
                    off a bit of the edges with each hand. She
                    nibbles a bit of the right-hand side...)

                    OOF! my chin's on my foot! this is not goot!

                    (She tries a bit from the other side.)

                    OOPS! my head's in the sky! Well, I DID want to get
                    high...

                    (And Alice continues on with her adventures, leaving

                    the Caterpillar peacefully smoking his hookah...one
                    last party before entering the darkness and stillness of
                    cocoon-time, where no smoking is allowed. Instead, the
                    Caterpillar dreams
                    constantly, in vivid color--X-rated dreams
                    of butterfly love...)

Sometimes I just don't even know what to say on any subject anymore.  Everything just seems so beautiful... like we're alive right now, how amazing is that!? 

Its like.. BOOM and here we are, in this world of mystery!

Eveything is just awesome, people, music, sports, pencils, earphones, love, food, water, memories, parents, time, words, expressions, emotions, books, friends, ... , change.

Sigh.. ahhhh well.  Enjoy the ride everyone.

Or how about nervous excitement:

Well, I shouldn"t be surprised anymore about what the media is coming out with symbolically.   That tag line is quite awesome to say the least.

Anyone else excited about life and what may happen, or not happen?

I think all of us here at NR are at least a bit excited about these interesting times we live in.  Me, I'm more than a bit excited.

(that was the most excited-looking smilie available)

Anyone else excited about life and what may happen, or not happen?

The film is about the end of the Mayan civilisation who we all know were responsible for the 2012 prophesy. I'm not sure how good a film this will be or whether it will have any actual relevance to these interesting times we're in, but there's some incredibly beautiful imagery here.
