Swings and roundabouts.
Don't think I've heard that before, but I like it.
Well, in your case is the "state fair carnival ride that was on the evening news"-kind of swinging and roundingabout.
You know, the kind of a ride that you know at least three people that broke their elbows and somehow makes your cousin twitch every time he hears a pneumatic brake.
That made me chuckle, thanks friend.. I was having a mood swing, and ya put a smile on my face.
It was definitely a funny way for the universe to save my ass. Took the wind outta my sails though. I wanted to serve since I was a wee lad. But I'm a different man now.
