How to fall off a mechanical bull

Very carefully!

No matter what books you read or movies you see made of the Titanic, the ending is always the same ... the ship sinks.

Now ... what does the mechanical bull have to do with the Titanic?

Nothing much, with the exception that each participant, no matter how young or old, had the same ending ... they landed on their touckas.

For me, I rather enjoy observing.

To bad their isn't a county fair booth for my hobby!

How could this ride-the-bull want to be cow-girl feel fear and sheer terror?

Her emotions, absolutely and under no circumstances, DID NOT circumvent my own.

(Okay! So, I am being selfish.)

You see, today was a photo-journalistic nightmare, for me!

The camera and I just didn't click at all.

Worst day ever and I can't stress that enough.

Not at all!

Quite disheartening, really.

Oh, and the courageous girl?

Well ... she fell and walked away in once piece from the tyrannical toro

And I,

I will begin again another day.

Sigh ....
