That girl that is making your life unpleasant will end up morbidly obese and her husband will leave her for another man. You will remain thin and beautiful.
And about a billion other things.

I would leave my younger self detailed instructions on how 19 d-bags out of Newark were gonna fly jets into the World Trade Center & Pentagon on September 11, 2001, and that I was now the only chance to stop them and to plan accordingly.

Also, don't fap to ponies.

Make friends with that David Grohl kid in your class.
 
2011-10-22 01:01:59 PM
Rock on girl! You're farking awesome. Also, love the bob.

P.S. You have neurally-mediated hypotension not panic attacks. Try to drink a lot of water and up your sodium intake.
 
2011-10-22 01:04:34 PM
the girl problems? get them over with. NOW. ask for help.

/not from girls.

- High school will be over next year, so don't spend too much time fretting over it
- Be better with your money. Seriously. Screw stocks, buy land
- Several of those girls you think are out of your league secretly like you. So stop being emo and look people in the eye
- Don't let dad's fear chase away your dreams. Start writing, and don't take your foot off the gas until you say you're done

Don't change a thing. If you change the slightest thing, we might have been hit by a bus by now.

Dear 16 Year Old Self:


All that shiat they told us about flying cars, total farking lie!


Also, for god's sake, take care of our knees, these things are killing me.

Don't get in that Kharman Ghia with that 30 yr old "rock musician." Go buy a vibrator and a plane ticket to Europe instead.

It will basically be a list of guys to avoid and dumb decisions not to make.

Dear 16 year-old rex,

Don't eat so much cake. Don't do those white drugs. Don't choose a guy over your best friend. Buy google stocks. Love yourself.

Even if you don't listen to me we'll still turn out amazing, so worry not.

Love,

35 year-old rex

Dear 16-year-old Calbert,

If you think you're touching yourself a lot at 16, just wait until you get older and discover the internet.

Dear dumbass,

Buy Apple.

Love,
Old you.

Dear 16-year-old Shostie,

Discard any ideas in your head about majoring in music. You can be in the band in college, but find something useful for a major, like accounting.

Also, do not date the people on the attached list.

And go ahead and have sex. Ultimately, no one will care.

Sincerely,

32-Year-Old Shostie

Dear 16 year-old-mitchcumstein1

Attached is a copy of the result of every major sporting event played between 1995 and 2011.

Find Larry Page, Eric Schmidt, Sergey Brin and go into business with them, tell them about this idea for a website called Facebook that can be used with their search engine. Fund the crap out of their work.

Make sure people know there is a difference between Al Gore and George Bush, and it does matter if they vote.

Try coke, but don't go crazy.


You're Welcome,

2011 mitchcumstein1

PS

Don't date any blondes, ever. Run and hide.

Your life is not going to go the way you thought but do everything the same way. Marry him. Love him. Care for him. And don't give up because even thought it is the most painful thing you can imagine, you will gain the world from your loss. He gives you your children and for that you would do anything for him.
 
2011-10-22 01:42:23 PM
Pay closer attention in math class.
 
2011-10-22 01:42:23 PM
Don't go to West Virginia, and buy Apple stock.

Dear 16-year old WTF Indeed,

What the f*ck are you doing! God, you are lazy. I wish I could reach through this paper and kidney punch you.

Sincerely,

Future me.

PS. When someone tells you about a website called Fark. Ignore them.

Don't stick it in crazy. Also, quit smoking you twit.

You're not ugly- you could be having lots of sex. It's a good thing.

Hey Bone Head, don't get the penis reduction.

Don't choose radio for a career.
 
2011-10-22 01:45:14 PM
Leave a message to the young Capt. Steroid to ignore the part about the D-bags leaving out of Newark and to concentrate on Boston Logan and DC Dulles instead?
 
2011-10-22 01:45:14 PM
oh and this

El Freak: and buy Apple stock.


OH and this

Dear 16 year-old me,

Nail as many 16 year-old girls as possible now. It will be frowned upon later.

Shostie: Dear 16-year-old Shostie SlashmanSG,

Keep up the good work.
 
2011-10-22 01:46:26 PM
Don't be such a nice person. Don't worry so much about what other people think of what you do and just do what you really want. It will save you a lot of pain and frustration.

P.S. Said changes may increase pain and frustration but I don't know that.
P.P.S. Buy stocks in Apple and Google.

That girl Michelle in your history class totally is into you. Don't do nothing.
 
2011-10-22 01:47:09 PM
Stop smoking and go get laid.
 
2011-10-22 01:47:25 PM
You don't realize it but you are actually pretty good at almost anything and should probably actually have CONFIDENCE. Also, actually try instead of half assing it through everything. You could probably do anything you want if you just apply yourself and put in some extra work. Also your parents didn't apparently mean it when they said you were grounded for the entire summer after you wrecked moms van so go and try to have some fun.
 
2011-10-22 01:47:30 PM
Hey, 16-year old chucklehead:

Buy stock in companies called Apple and Microsoft as soon as they are created.

That chick you hook up with after you get out of the Army? Wear a condom, stupid.

DON'T START SMOKING CIGARETTES

The cake is a lie.

Dear 16 year old me:

LSD is not for every day, and one hit is sufficient. Further, the moon ate a big pink kumquat.
 
2011-10-22 01:48:17 PM
Don't get drunk around fat chicks.
 
2011-10-22 01:48:18 PM
Don't smoke Cigarettes.

Don't date Yan-tian Chu. I repeat STAY AWAY FROM TESS!
 
2011-10-22 01:48:32 PM
Dear Me,

I know things are rough right now, but they do get better. The bullies in your life making things miserable won't always be around, and you'll meet many great people after you leave high school and the shiatty town you grew up in. You're a smart kid and will grow into a smart man, with a nice job, and some really awesome cats.

Don't worry about sex, or girlfriends too much. You'll eventually get laid, but it won't be for a while, so you should keep up with your regular masturbation practice (I know you will anyway). I know it sounds crazy, but you'll eventually meet females who want to see you naked, and who will be willing to do the same for you.

PS. Don't worry about getting caught for that thing you did a few years back. No one will find out it was you.

Buy Apple.

Dear 16-yr old self,

Stop playing video games NOW. They are stunting your social development and making you awkward even to this day, which happens to be why I'm now frequenting Fark.com. Thanks for that. Also, when you get to college, network network network!

Love,
'Saws

Dear Minimonkey,

Get some excersize. Ask Alex in your math class out. This'll be the only chance you'll get. Spend more time with Grandma, as well as Grandpa George. You don't have much more time.

Buy Apple stock. Invest in other tech until Christmas 1999. Keep Apple, and move the rest into energy
and real estate until about 2007ish. Get out of your positions and short the hell out of Freddie Mac and Frannie Mae then. After that, diversify. Most stocks don't have anywhere to go but up at that point.

Oh, and skip the Ottawa U applications and go to UWO.

I would tell myself about all the girls in HS and college that wanted to have sex with me but I was too much of a dork to notice. I would also tell myself about all the girls in HS and college that didn't want to have sex with me, so I wouldn't waste years of my time chasing after them.
