somewhere in the world someone is extremely happy right now, smiling ear to ear, with no worries or regrets. probably having an orgasm, or a bit tipsy, perhaps having newly won an award or purchased a new car they are so enjoying. somewhere there is a problem solved, a day where the work flowed properly and friends and family await in good health. out there is a spring day, a perfect hike or ocean that is the same temperature then your body. out there is a birthday for someone, a new father or a tax rebate arrives in the mail. somewhere out there is a person that has caught all the green lights, been smiled at by a beautiful lady or guessed all the right answers to a game show. somewhere and sometime someone is winning.

in the other half is a lost child, a stomach ache or a nagging spouse. someone just dropped some coffee on their white shirt, lost their job or stubbed their toe. someone just found out they will no longer walk, cannot find their favorite watch or realised the end is coming. someone out there cannot process milk, cannot stand to be around other people or has halitosis. someone just lost a big bet, crashed their car and their dog just bit a stranger. someone is in hiding, having their loved ones prey on them, someone is watching a storm come in.

the rest of us are somewhere in between. we have an up and a down day, we find parts of it mundane but get excited when it does not all fall apart. we ring up our friends who cannot come out to play, we contemplate other existences while trying to make our spouses and families content. we have a bit of savings and have won more then we have lost. we find a balance between the bad and the good because we know at most times we are simply swinging in between them both.
