Answering Letter From Mike Stevens 1978 to Mike Stevens 2012-2013!

     “Hey, me in the future, how’s it hanging? I didn’t know this was even possible, but here we are, or should I say here I am? You, or me I guess, sound very knowledgeable about things, so I’d like to get your (or my) advice on a couple of things. First, there’s this gorgeous girl I want to ask out, but I’m petrified. What should I do?”

     “Mike; whatever you do, do NOT ask out her friend, who you’re not that crazy about, I mean she’s pretty and all, but no skyrockets go off when you see her, like what happens when you see Debbie. Trust me, you’ll be regretting that poor choice forever. It will not be fair to the friend. You’ll start going out of her way to avoid her, when she’d done nothing wrong; she won’t understand.”

     “Gee, thanks old guy; I’ll try to avoid that mistake. And, I also wanted to ask you; in junior high, I had a horrible time adjusting to how people acted; I felt like a non-swimmer, thrown into the deep end of the pool, and told to start swimming. Will the adjustment to high school be as bad?”

     “Mike, stop hyperventilating. By this time, you should be getting used to the way people act. You lived sheltered life while growing up, in a small town where everyone knew each other; and were forced to leave that shelter and enter a world where you didn’t know most people. And, having grown up in a small town, the things you’ve seen up until now have been a bit overwhelming, to say the least! Relax, high school will seem old hat, now that you’ve grown more used to the way the world works. High school will be much less traumatic for you. Well, I’ve got to go watch ‘The Lawrence Welk Show’, so I’ll talk to you later.”

     “Lawrence Welk? Dude, seek help! Thanks for your advice; it’s nice to be able to talk to an old guy like you to get your advice.”

     “That was a joke; if you knew me better, you’d have picked up on the sarcasm, but then I’m you, so you should know; but then I remember how much of a dim-bulb I used to be, thinking I was so mature and knew everything, when I didn’t know s**t!”

     “When did I become so cynical and jaded? If you’re an example of the future, junior high suddenly doesn’t seem so bad! Later days, dude, and don’t try contacting me again!”

     “Eat me friend!”

     “Now, that would be kind of difficult, since I am you! You’re not my type, anyway; too old and the wrong sex, and anyway, we’re related. No inbreeding!”

     “Hello? Obviously, I’ve pissed him off, and he’s gone. Well, good riddance; I mean, the future me sounds like a stuffed shirt; old people!”

This is quite a mind twisting view of past and future mixed into one. It takes a lot of creativity to pull something like this off. Good job, only critique, some language, but that's just my problem now isn't it?

Sorry about the rough language, I wrote this a few years ago when I guess I thought it was humorous to swear a lot!
