Hey buddy, how’s it hanging? You remember how kids in elementary school would write letters to themselves then open them a year later? Yea, haha, you remember how our letter was just a picture of Skeletor with, “Keep it real, baby” written on it? Anyways, this is one of those letters. I’m dropping a reminder in our calendar for a year from now to come back to this and see how absurd this sounds. So, what’s on my mind today that I think will matter in a year? Let’s get this embarrassing party started.
It’s the first day of 2010, and I guess if I read this again in a year, it’ll be 2011. Good job on staying alive all these years. I totally knew those Flintstones vitamins were a good idea. So I think the obvious topic in the forefront of my mind is how will this whole travel plan work out. Was it actually a good idea to drop our sweet career like a “6″ girlfriend with tourettes? Will it be worth it to backpack around, see stuff, try things, and generally explore what the world has to offer? I mean really worth it? Worth the insecurity of no income, and worth all the sacrifices? Does this end up setting my life back by a year, or more, or is it my life? I can’t even make an educated guess where I might be in a year. I’m worried I have too much tech stuff packed – did it end up being too much? Do I go broke and starve in less than a year?
Hey, so how does that Iran scene play out? Quite a mess there right now. Oh and what happens in Glee? Is the google phone as awesome as I hope it is? Did the Canucks win the Stanley Cup (Although I secretly predict Chicago to win)? Are we still thinking of moving back home to the Victoria/Vancouver area and settling down (sort of) in a few years?
Alright chief, I’ve got to catch this flight to Austin. Peas.

You can’t buy experience in life and there is often no time to just live, let this be your time. you’ve heard the saying on your death bed you don’t wish you worked more!!!! You will always be fine because of who you are. you make a diff. where ever you are :-)
