to know and to forget.

As I get older, as the going gets tougher, as I become less of an imaginative child and more of a realistic adult, I realize I don't want to know anymore. I want to be ignorant. I want to have three imaginary friends named Hannah, Haley, and Heather again. I want to see tall grass as an opportunity, not a chore. I want to play tag by the pool table in the basement and write poems about clouds in the wood fort and go to Dari Licious after church and not know what the ice cream costs. I want friends who love me just because I am me, ones that see past my flaws.

I don't want to vote for the next President. I don't want to get a degree. I don't want to become a 'member' of a 'church' that's 'right for me'. I don't want to count the miles on my car for the next oil change. I don't want to go to meijer for laundry detergent. I don't want to wake up to a department store. I want to wake up to a book, and one that I choose to read because I want to read it.

I want to go back to the 90's. I want to be a kid again. But how do I forget?

if you voted for obama.

If you voted for Obama, you supported:

• cutting the military budget, but somehow still keeping it strong.


• stabbing scissors in the necks of newborn babies.


• no more free market (Obama voted October 2007 that he rejects the free market vision)


• increasing taxes on the people actually do business and create jobs. (and their taxes go to people who sit on their butts, too lazy to get a job)


• endorse same-sex marriage.


• a healthcare plan that is affordable to all (which would essentially bring the quality of our incredible healthcare system down to Europe's quality. No more incentives for doctors to work hard researching cures for our health needs).


• surrendering the defense of our country (allowing terrorists full reign to do whatever they want)


• an amazing increase in ammo taxes, and possibly banning all handguns. (allowing terrorists and Americans with bad intentions full reign to do whatever they want)


• meeting with the Iranian president to "negotiate" even though he said he wants to wipe Israel off the map.


• redistributing hard-earned wealth. We may as well all go on Welfare.


• limiting soldier deployment to 12 months. (Nothing would get done overseas!)


• increasing minimum wage (destroying our dollar bill).


• (he voted NO on refunding Social Security...money for our grandparents)
