Interesting

I read an interesting entry from a favorite of mine, opaque.

Basically it’s about writing a letter/entry for your younger self. Y’know, the one who coulda used the knowledge that you know now.

So here goes.

Dear Bruce of 2004,

Your time in the army will come to a close. You will not miss it. You will survive without it. Spend more time with Eric Mccloskey… he’s a good friend. Stop talking to Nicki before you fall irrevocably in love with her,… she could really hurt you. World of Warcraft is still awesome, years later.

Your dream of making games is not a silly idea. All the people who laughed at you for having such a dream will be proven wrong. Read the Bible more often, it’s a book full of life lessons.

Maybe you should look into self-improvement. It wouldn’t hurt you to gain a few pounds, get a tan, and have more confidence in yourself.

You need to lay off the soda. It’s nothing but bad for you. Try Gatorade Purple Rain… when it comes out. Haha.

Learn something new every day. Keep your math skills fresh. You’ll never know if you’ll need them again in oh… say 4 years or so…

Pay attention to your feelings,… don’t become TOO cold.

Oh… and get a new pair of glasses. What are you, a girl? Those are girly glasses. Ya girl.

And grow a fucking backbone! Shit!

~The Bruce of the Future, Who is Vastly Superior to You

That was a lot of fun. I recommend everyone try that.
