"Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it."

I think about that statement a lot.

Especially now that I am older and think things through a little bit more than I did when I was younger and bounced back from my mistakes a lot better.

Maybe the mistakes were just smaller ones back then.

What if I got what I (think)I want? Not only would I get all of the wonderful things, I would get all the bullshit too. More bullshit also comes with getting older. Would the wonderful outweigh the bullshit? Usually no one can answer that question until it is far too late.

It has been in my nature over the past few years to cut and run before I have to find out. I'm tired of getting clobbered. And if someone throws the "it's better to have loved and lost" cliche at me one more time, I will beg to differ...and probably tell you to get the hell out of my face.

I would much rather be Blissfully Ignorant.

Blissfully Ignorant is a place I would like to reside. Unfortunately, it's too late for me. I have already been clobbered too many times and Blissfully Ignorant doesn't allow my kind in their neighborhood.

How many times would it take for you to learn not to lay your hand on a hot stove burner? Not many right? Once? Twice? Three times if you're really not all that bright?

Exactly my point.

My heart is one of the short bus kids in the back of class.
