Dear Tim

Time Travelled — about 12 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Hey. It's me. You. It's you from the past. It's 10th June '07 Sunday afternoon. I'm seventeen. I'm in my last year of schooling. I'm wearing my hoodie with the hood up for the hell of it. My fingers are typing at this computer in my room. I'm chatting to Snazzy (Nate Mckwn) and Nes's younger sister on MSN. www.beatmart.com is blasting. So how are you? Treating yourself OK? I hope so. Cause you are awesome. And you deserve to be treated well. And that wasn't some tacky confidence booster as well - you have sometime special Tim. Isn't time a funny thing? For a while I found the concept of it being the 'fourth dimension' wack. But it is. I'm here and you are over yonder. Is the grass greener over there? Is the future fun? People love to think of the future as something very different - is it? Something tells me it's very similar. I bet there is still wars and rumours of wars. I hope New Zealand is still the hoopiest place in the galaxy to be. Still there? You may have moved on. I'm a Christian. I trust you are too. Cause without Jesus, man, it's hell for ya. We all deserve it and you know it. How's the family? I'm talking mum, dad, Izzy and Caleb silly. Not your kids and wife. You do have kids and a wife right? Gosh Tim! Gosh me, I don't know what else to say. I trust you passed your final exams with solid results. Cause you deserve it man. And I trust you found a uni or something and explored the real world. Remember, I've been at KingsWay for 13 years. You most likely made some good choices and some bad ones. You learned from the bad ones right? Anyway, I Got To Go. Keep it real dude. :) Tim/TradaPIB

Dear PastMe,

Or should I say, PastaMe. Because you sure liked your spaghetti bolognese didn't you. I almost called you 'son' there but backspaced it because it sounded patronizing. To......
