Writer's Block: Memo to Myself

[dalthauser]

[Error: unknown template qotd]1.) Do not start drinking/partying until you are over 30.  If I had not gotten distracted by all that foolishness I would have stayed in school, gotten my degree, and probably been unemployed now (and without a beautiful daughter or a hippy homestead, or, or, or)
Nevermind younger self - carry on.

I'd tell myself to have fun more, lighten up (easier said than done at the time), explore more, and tell myself why. I'd tell myself that my dad was lying to me, and the results would cost me years and years of credit card debt.

Also - during the heat wave of '98, I'd tell myself to wait for traffic to die down before driving home with no AC in the car. It effed up my lungs pretty good, and that's permanent.
