An Ode to Future Me

Dear Future Self,

While others might use this blog to check up and or perhaps stalk what's going on, you and I both know the reason we did this. One of these days, I'll wake up and be you, or you'll wake up and not be me. Either way, we're not going to be each other and thus communication will be key between us two. Unfortunately, science has not come up with a way for you to send anything back through the timestream to me, but I can send stuff forward that you can probably read several years from now. Of course, there's the other reason we made this. Future Biographer! How's it going, man? I know you're just wanting to get the scoop on how a visionary spent his younger years. Well, good sir/madam, you are in complete and total luck. I just made your job way easier. I would post the general MLA citation format to make it easier for you to cite this blog but MLA guidelines have probably changed by then so it'd be better to do it yourself. Or maybe MLA doesn't exist in the future. I really, really hope it doesn't for the sake of future English 101 students everywhere. Please take everything I say here with a very sarcastic grain of salt. You'd better take two grains just to be safe.

Anyhow, today is Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012, the year the world is supposed to end. I sincerely hope it doesn't because then I would have written this all for nothing and could have played Halo with the time put into this instead. If only time wasn't so linear, things would be great. Confusing, yes, but great.

In case you're a little on the downside when it comes to remembering things that happened around this time, you have just started your second year at John A. Logan, which is as of now nowhere as awesome as last semester because everyone's schedules are messed up and we don't dominate the cafeteria like we used to. Also, you have no breaks. 10:00 AM is Calc II with Ebersohl, 11:05 AM is Computer Science II with Rudolph, and on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:30 PM you have English 102 with Garrison. Otherwise, you get out at about 12:00 PM. History 202 is online. Also there's gym. Don't ask me how that's turning out, because I haven't taken initiation.

So, Semi-Future-Self! That is to say, Next-Entry-Future-Self! How are you doing? You're either basically me but placed slightly farther on the linear timeline, or you're really different because I was lazy forgetful busy and didn't post for like ages. Anyhow, I have some questions for you.

  • Gym initiation. What goes on in there, exactly? And why is it scheduled for an ungodly 9:00 AM in the morning?
  • Calculus II. How's that treating you? Tearing you apart already?
  • Why do we drive on a parkway and park on top of that poor pedestrian you ran over?
  • I don't know about then, but right now this layout kind of sucks. Creating a custom skin and redesigning the place might take a lot of work, but have you at least changed the font/colors or something?
Any of you current readers/stalkers think you can answer those questions better than NEFS can? Hah, don't kid yourself, you're not nearly as smart. (=P) But trying never hurt anybody (yes it has) so go right ahead and do so.

Signing off,

Present Self
