Happy 50th!

Dear FutureMe, Wow. I have butterflies in my stomach just writing this. Right now it is January 23, 2008. You are 32 years old and in your last year of the Navy. You are living in an apartment, but are getting ready to move out and live with Katie for the last year. What is there to remember? Yesterday you went and saw Cloverfield. YOu thought it was alright. You are missing Tiara SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO much tonight. You found this website by thinking about her and wanting to write messages she'd get later. You are an avid cigar smoker, but are considering giving it up to make Tiara a bit happier. You're watching a debate between Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton, wondering if we're about to see our first black president or our first female one. They're developing a telescope that can see into the solar systems we think contain life. With any luck we'll have found a solar system with actual life on it! Movies cost around $7. Gas is $2.90 a gallon. You are making $29,000 a year, which works pretty well since your rent is $760 a month, electricity runs about about $100 a month, water $40, and phone and satellite about $30 each. Bottled water is about $5 for 24 18-oz bottles. Your computer is fairly modern with a 200GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, a CD/DVD reader/burner. You have about 600 DVDs right now, and are hoping they don't go out of style. HDTV is brand new, but there aren't many channels. The biggest news are Britney Spears crazy antics, Hef and his 3 girlfriends, and Lindsay Lohan once again ending up in rehab. The average meal at a burger joint runs around $5 - $7, and more calories than anyone should ever eat. Cloned beef just came out, and everyone is freaking out about it. The IPhone is the most advanced piece of technology available to us, even though it's a piece of crap. The Mac Air just came out, but is just more hype. What's cool right now? Apple Bottom jeans and the boots with the furs. ;) Smoking bans are becoming more and more popular , even though you can still smoke inside bars and cigar stores almost everywhere. California and New York are insanely strict, but everyone else is still pretty cool. The hottest TV shows right now are Heroes (in its second season), the new cast of Law and Order, Conan Obrien taking over the Tonight Show, Lost, and 24. Prison Break seems to be popular even though I've never seen it. I love Psych, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Family guy (up to season 5!), Smallville (up to season 6!), Frisky Dingo, and some others I can't remember. Have the zombies attacked yet? You were probably the only one ready. Happy Birthday old man. Hope you live to 100!
