Just write something to yourself and pretend that it will go to you 5 years ago.

It's great fun! I'll start.






Dear Me,

Get off the internet and do your homework damnit or you will not be able to get into a University. Once your out of High School, nobody cares how good you are with computers if you can't back it up with a degree. Also, use a condom. EVERYTIME. Don't trust the pill. Yeah, you will get laid don't worry about that. And she will be awesome and your gonna wanna marry her. Do it.

Don't trade your PDA for that graphics card on Anandtech, he will not ship you the card. And where jeans! Everyone in school thinks your gay because you don't date and you dress too nice.

Also,tell dad to put everything he have into Apple starting in the middle of 2006. They will release the iPhone in 2007 and their stocks will soar. Sell around after 1st quarter 2008. Then never touch the market again.

Regards,
Me in 5 years.

Dump her, she really is the slut you suspect her to be. Skip Santa Fe and go ahead and move to Florida now.

LOL. Ok, I'll give it a whirl.

Dear Me,

You're doing well with university. You have the system figured out and you're getting better grades than you did the first two years with less work. Well done. However, there are some areas for improvement.

You are still a virgin. Don't worry; this will change. But you can accelerate the process by spending less time surfing porn sites and more time meeting girls at parties. Yes, I know you got way too drunk at your buddy's wild Halloween party last year and the girls were turned off. But go easier on the drinks and you'll be fine.

You will probably fall madly in love with the first girl you sleep with. It may or may not last, but enjoy it while you can. Keep working on your game though, or you will have big problems meeting new girls if and when the relationship terminates.

What happened to the fast runner from the last few years? You can't stay off the injury list it seems. More stretching and core strength work is in order. You may find more time for injury prevention if you follow the advice in paragraph 2, sentence 3, first clause.

Make sure you go traveling. See the world. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to make this dream happen.

Oh, and enjoy your life no matter what you're doing. Always have a goal to chase, and remember to "work to live", not the other way around. The fun does not end once you graduate.

Let's reconnect once you're over the quarter-life hump.

Yours truly,

The (slightly) older and (slightly) wiser me from 2009.

Dear Me,

I asked you over and over and over again to PLEASE have that prostrate exam, but, Noooooooooooooo, you were too busy downloading Mexican wrestler porn and buying Nigerian lottery tickets.

Well now, you're DEAD, buster.

Posthumously Signed,

Me in 5 years

Five years ago wouldn't really do much.

Maybe: "If you start to think about buying a condo, don't do it because the housing market is going to crash."

Oh, or "buy some Google stock and sell it in late 2007".

Dear Me,

Please grab your computer, and promptly throw it out the window. You will hit lifer at ATOT, and you will be a 3.0 student in college and will not get into any graduate schools, let alone dental school. Don't take Calculus with the professor you're going to be assigned freshman year, she's a BITCH. Don't let friends who can't tell the difference between a control arm and an oil pan change your oil, go to fucking Jiffy Lube. Lay off the porn. Last but not least. DO. NOT. SMOKE. A. CIGARETTE. EVER! And forget all the girls in high school, they aren't worth it.

Me in 2009

Dear me,

Fuck the running, start lifting, you won't ever look the way you want to by just running a million miles a day. Also, you're starving yourself, it does more harm than good. Ditch the electric razor, it's a goddamn waste of time and it's fucking up your neck. Go to a dentist, your teeth are nowhere near as bad as you think they are, being awake during the wisdom teeth removal is fine but go with the 1 hour whitening process. BACK UP YOUR HARD DRIVE JESUS CHRIST WHATS WRONG WITH YOU. It never gets better than Quake 1, sorry that's just how it is. Don't try to build a "silent PC" you fail hard and it overheats like a bitch, it ends up with the side panel off and sounding 3x louder than a normal PC would. Read up on Foobar scripts, it can do everything you want to do with music with about 1% of the time investment you are wasting now (oh and use FLAC). Learn VBS, sooner the better, you end up learning it eventually anyways and you find out you should have known it all along.

You'll have to give a speech at your brother's wedding, don't sweat it though, you do great. But hell, start drinking now. And start calling him Dan, there is a reason he hates his real name.

Don't sweat the small stuff at the job, it all pans out OK for you. Oh and remember to write me of 5 years back and tell him to fucking pay attention in school, buy a decent alarm clock and use benzoyle peroxide.

Dear Me,
Don't get those danm credit cards. Turns out, they want their money back and they aren't happy about it. In the summer of 08 you are going to decide to stop working so you can climb. Instead, find a 10-20 hour a week job that either works early morning hours or late nights. Same ammount of climbing, and less draining all of your funds. Also, don't buy that civic with a loan. It seems like a good idea until you have little income and that $200 a month is a huge burden. Just take that 2k that you put down and buy a solid old car. Who the hell needs something built in this decade anyways?

Talk to more girls, get a stable relationship. The one night stands and week long flings are useless. Also, don't bang those chicks you meet on the internet, it just makes you feel dead inside.

Don't smoke too much, cut out the drugs. Don't start drinking too much. Ah fuck that, you won't know what that means. Have a good time! Go to school you jack ass! Seriously, stop talking about it and do it. Get a danm degree and move to Utah, because it kicks ass there. Good people, and good times. Take up outdoor sports and meet an athletic hottie. Utah is crawling with them.

Dear Mr. Anderson:

TAKE THE FREAKING BLUE PILL!!! The first few days are pretty cool but after that it's a real snooze fest. Fake steak tastes way better than real protein slop, and you look like a tool even though you "know kung-fu".
