I am 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 McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms 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 to 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 simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes,mountains of paperwork, depressing news,or how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, 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, cause............."Tag! You're it."

Heres my po box
Hand over the car keys and the 401k I will mail you a bag of MMs
BRING ON THE SUGAR DADDYS !!!!
: )

I can do that. But the car keys come with the payment book. And after the last couple of years the 401K is only worth a bag of M&Ms.  

..there ARE rewards for good boys, ya know..

Heading to Neverland?

I want to be a kid in order to be rid of my sex drive and the upper hand women have over me because of it!

WAIT FOR ME!!!!  
I'm coming, too!

"Sigh" if it were only that easy!

Just invite your favorite lady to a great restaurant, have a great dinner with good company, and take her dancing.  Personally I like swing dancing and jitterbuging to 40's, 50's and 60's music.

That's a cool post. Let me know if your sucessfull... I'd be happy to trade responsbility for bliss too! In the mean time, I'm seeing Looney Tunes at the matinee tomorrow.

yes, i quite understand. most people i seem to run into are most nasty selfish people around. what happen to common courtesy? i guess that is the world we live in.

growing old is a state of mind.

I still play with my kids and enjoy it.

My 9 year old son and I ROCK on cooperative play when playing Halo together on our XBox (Big 57" HDTV widescreen + 7.1 surround sound).

I watch more movies now than when I was a teenager (and I still love movies like American Pie as well as chick flicks.  Even watching Finding Nemo is as much fun for me as the kiddies).  I buy music CDs like crazy and love music from eclectic sources (How many do you know with Clay Aiken AND Nine Inch Nails in their collections?)

I still love playing poker.

Oh, and the card game with that name too (rimshot).

I still feel the same way inside that I did in college. The day I stop is the day I put a bullet in my head.  I may ACT responsible for the outside world, but inside I am always looking forward to my next temporary high from one form of fun or another.
