Talk to yourself 10 years ago

khushy · 14 Oct 2009 at 15:45

hmmmmm - here are just some of mine . . .

you have only 43 years left on planet Earth (only 33 of which you will actually remember, the last 10 dont matter and the next 18 you will be able to do all the crazy things you love to do after that your body will start to hurt) - live EVERY day as if its your last
Porches are crap and a total waste of money
Smart Cars are also crap - even if you have had a vision from God telling you that you MUST slow down before you kill yourself
Watch out for standing water
Watch out for plod - here . . here . . . here . . . and here . . . etc etc
When you are tired - STOP - dont do any more laps on your motorcycle track day on 30.06.03
Have that shoulder operated on immediately 01.07.03 (if you decide to ignore the STOP advice immediately above)
if you do head the warning (2 places up) keep the 500 SEC - it will last you the rest of your life
Do MORE track days as many as you possibly can in fact - they are fun
the lottery numbers for the next 10 years are . . .
spend it ALL before its too late
ditch that cheatinglieinglazygoodforNOTHING wife 1.0 immediately - grant her the clothes on her back and tell her to get lost!
wife 2.0 lives here . . . go and introduce yourself quickly - she is a hidden treasure!
in 2004 DONT STOP THE EXERCISE ROUTINE just because you are "happy"!!
dont EVER put that dead car battery on your front seat just before taking it to the tip - via your fav country/twisty road!
keep a closer eye on Ian Marley (RIP Sep 2009) he needs more help than you think
Site****s (web design) Ltd are totalrobbingbarstewards - dont ever appoint them
sort your employee contracts out immediately as some of them are also robbinglazygoodfornothingbarstewards too and employment tribunals are a hidingtonothing - you will loose!!!!!
dont ever climb the stairs in the workshop when the bird cage is at the bottom of them - you will loose your parrot!
get a cat - they are fun!
cross-trainers - turbo-trainers - step-machines are a complete waste of money
keep skating
start recording ALL MotoGP races from now onwards - put ALL your money on Valentino - he will be GOD!
move to Italy

etc etc

"You see this thing, 8 year old me? This thing is a computer. People will think you're smart if you can use it properly and will continue to for the next 5 years or so - it's also really easy...

Also start learning a musical instrument or something."

"Create a website where people can upload videos of themselves doing crazy things/anything, it's just what the world needs and you will make a bloody mint selling it in a few years time".

Don't get into civils! Just don't do it!

That's about it.

SexyGreyFox · 14 Oct 2009 at 22:16

Hmm, I'd be 41 and already given my daughters their first talk about boys.
I'd already decided to get out of the cabaret scene after 29 years and join a proper rock band.

I know -
Get your arse to night College and get some courses under your belt.

"Bloody hell you're in for a ride. Enjoy it!"

PS. Don't take everything so seriously.

"Your life won't too bad tbh, the one thing you need to know.....

when you find that special someone.... try harder don't be such a **** to her, and look after her and you'll be ok!"

Dogoid · 15 Oct 2009 at 00:37

when asked what high school you want to go to, CHOOSE A MIXED SCHOOL!!

Stellios · 15 Oct 2009 at 01:21

Say it all the time to people that have kids in work.

-Dont let gaming become a major part of your life, go out and meet people and have a proper social life, its more fun.

I keep kicking myself us the ass as i let most of my teen years get taken over with games, rarely going out and not knowing many people.

So you're that annoying nagger then?

Justintime · 15 Oct 2009 at 01:25

Lose about 3 stone, man up and stop taking crap from those bullies. Use planks of wood and smash faces because as proven time and time again you're no street fighter. Also learn not to stall and get drymouth around girls, be more social, go to the pub more, you disgust me.

Sound like you want to punch yourself in the face lol

The reason every time you move school and the hottest girl there fancies you is because you're actually good looking yourself.. Please for the love of god ask Eve to a social event of your choosing, she actually likes you.. It doesn't matter that she's the hottest thing to ever walk the grounds of your school..

Alternatively, stop thinking that all high school romances will be the be all and end all of your life, and get ******* braces whilst they're free, you'll want straight teeth when you're older, despite how much you'll hate braces when you're younger.

Learn to play the piano. Guitar is cool but the Piano is something else.

Stop sleeping so much.

Ride your bike more.

Stop thinking things will be easier when you're older. You could be making the same photos at 16 you're now making at 21, you just don't believe in yourself enough. You could be established in this industry by 25, sort it out!

Buy the clothes you like, not what is socially acceptable. You have style.

You're never too tired to see your friends. Never too tired to go out. You're never too tired.

Sone · 18 Oct 2009 at 03:51

i think i would rather go back and beat up myself 10 years ago. If i had to give advise would be to grow a pair and think about what you are doing, cost me too much proving peoples blatant BS wrong.

Vixen · 18 Oct 2009 at 04:07

Don't ignore Kathryn when she goes to uni and calls you upset about something - you may never get another chance to talk to her.
You only have a year left with a certain family member, make that time count.
Don't change to that fourth violin teacher, it will be the catalyst that makes you quit.
Don't dance with the guy your friend has had a crush on for years in 6th year, she'll never forgive you even if you were just dancing with a friend.

I would've been 8, soo...

"Spend as much time with your father as you can, in a couple of years he won't be here and mum will be in hospital a lot and you are going to have to grow up a lot quicker than your friends. They won't be able to help you much cause they don't really understand what is going on, and neither do you. Stick with your brothers, but you already know that. It is all down hill after the next 2 years so, make the most of it! Oh, don't run in the corridor outside the cloak room, ten stitches is a lot and the local anesthetic will make you scream like a *****."
