To Shawn From Shawn

Dear Shawn circa age 28, Wow, I feel strange. You're 28 years old. I'm 18. I'm talking to myself 10 years in the future. So...I...you're 28 now, how's it feel? Are you a music teacher? Do you like it? Like you're going to answer me...I'm long gone by now. It's wierd thinking of it like this...when you read this, I'll be just a memory. Kind of depressing...oh well. How's the wife? Do you have one? Is she amazing? Of course she is, even if you're an idiot, mom wouldn't ever let you marry anyone but the perfect one. I wish you could just tell me now everything turns out alright and I end up happy with a beautiful woman. Any kids yet? I look forward to that so much...I love kids...you know that...I hope they turn out just as I (we?) hope. So are you a marching band director? You guys make it to the top yet? Probably not...you've only been workin for what, four years or so? Don't worry, you'll be like Finelli and his 'gami marching turds...still can't get over the brown and yellow. I really hope life is great for you, give the wife a huge long and wonderful kiss for me. Wish I knew her now, life would be so much better. God bless, -Shawn circa age 18
