RESIGNATION… I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an ADULT. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 9 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&M’s are better than money because you can eat them. I want to drink kool-aid, eat lemonheads and red hots with my friends. I don’t want to change clothes because I got a little dirty and my friends didn’t care cause they were even dirtier than me. I want to enjoy everyday like its summer vacation. I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and TV show theme songs, 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, like a new hot wheel car every Saturday. I want to live simple again. I don’t want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more 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 and mankind. I want to “dream of Jeannie”, and “bewitched”. I want to go to “fantasy island” and take a trip on “the love boat”. I want to be in the roller derby and actually believe the three stooges are real. So…here’s my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my my pager, my cell phone, my palm pilot, my fax machine and my dvd player and last but not least my mortgage book. I am officially resigning from adulthood… AUTHOR UNKNOWN ---

JetBlue ratfucks own customers Barre Montpelier Times Argus | Submitted by: Reid Fleming “Violating its own privacy policy, JetBlue Airways gave 5 million passenger itineraries to a Defense Department contractor that used the information as part of a study seeking ways to identify ‘high risk’ airline customers. … The New York-based airline sent an e-mail apologizing to angry customers and said it has taken steps so the situation will not happen again. ‘This was a mistake on our part,’ JetBlue chief executive David Neeleman said. … JetBlue provided passengers’ names, addresses and phone numbers to Torch after an ‘exceptional request from the Department of Defense to assist their contractor, Torch Concepts, with a project regarding military base security.’” (Copied it last night, forgot it was there…) ---
