8 april 2006 - I feel happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. 

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8-year old again. 

I want to go to McDonalds and think that it is a 4 star resturant. 

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mudd puddle and make ripples with rocks. 

I want to think M&M's are better than money because you can eat them. 

I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day. 

I want return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes. But that didn't bother you because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. 

I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. 
I want to believe that anything is possible. 

I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again. 

I want to live in simple innocence again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressiing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor ills, gossip, taxes, politics, illness, and loss of loved ones. 

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow. 

So....here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. 

I am officially resigning....from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, because: "Tag! You're it!"

Hoe heerlijk was het, het enige waar je je druk om hoefde te maken was met wie je die middag ging knikkeren op het schoolplein. 
Ik heb echt een superdag vandaag, weet neit waarom, ik huppel, ben blij, gewoon gelukkig. Just because... Loop de hele dag te zingen, maakt niet uit of het leuke of verdrietige liedjes zijn. In de auto een ritje gemaakt, muziek hard aan, meezingen en een raampje open. Who cares wie mij kan horen! Nou, als er nog iemand wat geluk of happiness nodig heeft, ik heb een overschot, WIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHOEEEEEEEEEEEE
