You still don't have gold and your probably still a fuckface
Not proud of you
[QUOTE=Mista Tea;46836788]Hey.
Still in [B]graduate school[/B] for Computer Science? [U][B]Yup[/B][/U]. Can't say I blame you if you decide to leave. Did you get an internship at Sandia? [B][U]Sure did[/U]![/B] I hope so. That seems like the kind of place to work if you don't get your Master's.
If you manage to read this in a year, I assume things [B]haven't really changed much[/B]. Probably still managing a Sandbox server. Did you ever get around to expanding into Flood or other gamemodes? [U][B]Flood is on indefinite hold, but I started working on SledBuild for fun[/B][/U]. Were you ever able to make any sort of living from continuing to develop? [U][B]Not directly, but it helped get me my internship which pays way more[/B][/U].
If all of the above fell through the gaps, did you end up[B] finding something better[/B]? [U][B]Still chugging along, things are going fine[/B][/U]. Knowing you, I doubt it. But who knows.
Any unexpected [B]health problems[/B] discovered after reviewing the results of the blood work? [U][B]Them high triglycerides and vitamin deficiencies tho[/B][/U]. I bet you'll have a fun whole year dealing with them. I'd be pretty disappointed if none of your bad habits changed.
I hope the [B]Ireland trip[/B] was a blast (and worth all the money...). Speaking of money, you probably still [B]don't care[/B] about it, right? [U][B]Nope, still don't care about money. That Ireland trip though...holy shit, so much fun :)[/B][/U].
Here's to a year of surprises and hopefully better results. If not, there's always [B]next year[/B].
Happy New Year, 2015.[/QUOTE]
Man, I was in a slump last year D:
And uh...questions to future me...I don't know, ask me again in a year.
Hey FunnyStar, it's me: FunnyStar.
Did you get a girlfriend yet? I hope you're still not a lonely fat loser when you read this. Also I seriously hope you hit the gym more often instead of wasting your life away in front of that damn Lappy. Learn to take breaks every now and then.
Did you do well in college? [I]That's great!/Why the hell didn't you?[/I] And I'd better see more artwork done compared to last year. You've got talent, kid, and I'd hate to see it go to waste.
Overall, I hope you did better with yourself this year. If you did any useful extra like got a paying job, made real friends, or learned how to drive, then I'm proud of you. I knew you wouldn't waste 2016 like you did with last year. With that said and done, have a Happy New Year!
thanks,, funny star
[sp]I hope this doesn't bite me in the ass with regret later.[/sp]

Hello future me, stay handsome.

Work on that damn game you lazy cunt, and get a job or some how make money. [/QUOTE]
Still just as lazy, 2015 me. Worked on game, gave up multiple times.

hey me in 2017, this is you in 2016. Fuck you.
No really, I know you didn't do shit. Do it.
Oh, and write back, did HL3 ever come out, how about El Dewrito .5.0?
Dear Future Zergling,
Make sure you have a fuckton of dosh in your savings account.
suck a dick,
Past Zergling
dear glarkon,
Stop talking to yourself faggot
fuck off
Do you remember who you are? What you've meant to do?
2015 was a bad year for you. You wanted to everything to end, lost someone close, lost your way, defected from your beliefs, and became a demon, but we prevailed in the end, risen above it all. We'll carry the burden for the rest of our lives, but that doesn't mean you're helpless, or can't put an end to this. I hope that you can achieve your dreams, and with it, change our future. I am you and you are me... no, he's both of us, together. We built it, this story - it's ours to write. Carry that with you, and your memories, wherever you go. You're going to need them, for the lonesome road up ahead.
You write your shit down a lot anyway but.
Next year is a big year for you man, after August you're out in the big wide world - gotta get a job and do all that adult shit.
Hopefully you had a great final year in America and managed to tour it at the end as well.
Hopefully you managed to sort out your head as well, because god knows it's in a weird state at the minute - but it's getting better. Remember - you're numero uno.
Hope it all goes well, come back to this post and update past me I guess.
Less sappy shit, get laid faggot.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT
[QUOTE=Zyx;46831501]No message from last year - That I can find at least.
Dear me,
[B]Experimental stuff:[/B]
Remember when Thing happened during November? But then it didn't in the end. And you really wanted Thing to happen, but for real next time.
I hope Thing will happen in 2015. Only time will tell.
If not, well.. It's only Thing, so it'll be alright in the end. As long as you got me, you don't need Thing.
[B]Apartment stuff:[/B]
Also, apartment renovation just started. How did it go? If you still live there at all..?
But if you do, did it help? Is it warmer now, or was it all just a waste of time?
Also, has the prices increased or decreased?
Did (I haven't done it yet) I re-plan the mortgage from 3% to 2%. Was it worth it?
Oh yeah: Happy 25th birthday (A few months ago), you old pal!
[B]Work stuff:[/B]
Still working at msp? Gotten a raise? Any new and exiting projects or plans?
Have you remembered to learn OpenGL some more - Shit won't learn itself, you know![/QUOTE]
First I will answer myself:
Thing did happen for some short time. Maybe next year!
Apartment renovation is done and it is warmer now - Thanks god!
Price has increased, but I never did change the mortgage.
Still working the same place. I did get the raise and I have learned some OpenGL stuff.
[B]For next year[/B]
I just got a new PC. Is it still going strong and worth the money?
The apartment bathroom renovation is due to start in 1½ month - How did it go? Is there a constant 23 degrees in there now that the floor is heated? If not, you were lied to!
I've been thinking of doing more OpenGL stuff (Just to have some hobby programming), did I ever do anything? If I did, am I rich now because it sold better than Minecraft?
Have a stellar 2016!
Dear future me,
Lemme know if that VR shit is any good and is finally for sale.
Regards, past me.
Hey motherfucker,
You sure as shit better be a badass web developer and programmer overall by now. Hopefully, you and the girl are in a good place. You still need to move back home from thailand to be with her. Damn, that whole nomad thing was pretty nuts was it? $6 dollar massages on the daily? Fuck yea.
About exactly a year ago you realized you didn't want to keep working in marketing. Instead, you wanted to get really fucking good at programming and get freelance developing under your toolbelt. Just think of all the crazy stuff that is happening in the field of AI? Seriously nuts.
As always, please don't get anyone pregnant and pay off your student loans. Ty
Hey future me, its past you.
Been a ruff 2015 and hopefully it's the right path I'm taking.
Weather is shit and I bet it havn't changed.
Did you get your own place? If so congrats.
I would had written some goals down, but I'm too lazy. Hopefully you have changed that.
Besides, I'm the past and you're the furture. You know best.
Stay strong
Past Nak.
Dearest Me,
Howdy bud. Is Queen Elizabeth still alive? Who became POTUS? So many questions. Hope you're having a rockin' time.
I don't really have anything else to say to you, swine. Pig-dog. Сволочь.
Greetings from the past,
Me.
Don't forget what the happiness felt like before things went to shit (if they did go to shit)
GTFO of that shitty low wage auto parts delivery job, if you're still there come 2017 you truly did not put in effort to go somewhere. It would mean you got too distracted or simply ignored your need for better income and a better, more enjoyable job!
Finally, remember even on your worst days, a quick view of videos and songs that inspire you can [I]REALLY[/I] improve your mood, and even motivate you. I'll leave some of your favorite here in case you forget:

I swear to god, if you haven't shaved off that neckbeard by now, I'll reach out of this fucking computer and rip it off myself.[/QUOTE]
The neckbeard is gone, but during my last haircut I let the hairdresser cut my mishmash of facial hair into this fucking weird douchebag ring. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/VQWbyPh.jpg"]Shit was hilarious[/URL], but I'm glad I shaved that off too. Anyway:
Dear 2017 Pez,
Don't forget about that drunken bet you made. If you don't suck that guys dick in a year you're buying Damian a game, so for the love of god get on that faggot. Try losing weight if you want to get into that prime fuqboi territory, and work on being less autistic in public. Fuck you btw.
Hey man, hopefully you got that job. Did you finally abandon soft drink? Are you eating less? Losing weight? More active? Get your firearms license and that siq rifle you wanted? How's Cadets going?

[QUOTE=Damian0358;46821318]Dear Damian,
2014 was interesting, to say the least. Switching schools is never easy, but I think we did alright. I hear there might be a chance you might move back to Czechia and continue your education there. If that does happen, I hope you adapt to your new environment as quick as we adapted to our new high school.
Make sure to keep up with the good grades. Some things have gone up and some things have gone down grade-wise, so make sure to fix that up. Continue being social and, for both of us, be more social all around.
This year hasn't been that good health-wise. While we didn't get sick this entire school semester, we have started eating less healthy food. Fix that by the time I hear of you again, alright? And, if possible, try and learn to cook for yourself. That's a skill you'll need.
Continuing regarding health, start exercising more. You know how our spine is.
Last but not least, you should try and do something about our sleep schedule. You know what I mean, staying up 'till 3am in the morning, either wasting time online or studying when you should've studied earlier. You've got to get yourself a schedule, just like that guy in our class.
Don't be lazy and things will go ok. We've got potential, and we'll grab it out of ourselves! Just don't go dying on me or something, that would suck.
Yours truly,
Damian[/QUOTE]
Seems like that whole thing about possibly moving back completely to Czechia didn't happen. Eh, it would've been complicated anyway. It would take me a long while to fully switch from Serbian education to Czech or English. The whole food and exercise thing was a bust. Tragic, I know. The whole sleeping thing was sort of a bust. I do still go late to sleep, but I've switched it from 3am to 1am, though the former still happens sometimes. I've grown into a new type of lazy, sadly. But hey, at least I'm not dead. Now;
Dear Damian,
2015.... sort of just flew by. Shit's weird, you know? That whole memory problem you have is going to fuck you over in the long run. Even now, I don't know in what year I did what in the last few years. Everything still seems like it happened the other day. You have to find something to curve that.
Get into high gear in terms of school, you nerd. You've slowed down in your studies this year, allowing yourself to get Fs. You need good grades for a good higher education. Also, you'll have to decide what you want to study; next year is your last year in high school, so you'll have to decide soon.
Continue being social, you made a few more baby steps this year. Try to learn how to cook this year, you'll really need it. Try to become less lazy than you currently are. And don't die, I swear. Remember, out there, there are people who care about you. Yourself included.
Yours truly,
Damian
[QUOTE=Highwind017;46836095]Future Windy!
Hopefully you've continued with college and kicked the shit out of that second year project. Hopefully you have also gotten into University but no worries if you don't, we can try again with learning stuff by ourselves with self study and such. This might be a good/the best opportunity to work on the universe you want to share to the world. At least make a good start on AMFAR.
[b]I did continue with college, finished and graduated infact. Unfortunately though i didnt get into University due to... having a lack of a decent portfolio, ironic but not much i could had done when the main animation wasnt finished till May-ish if i remember correctly.
University isnt exactly required i'm still unsure if i want to even go there to be honest. I can learn all that shit by actually doing it at home but, i'd need to upgrade my computer for starters and i think i've taken enough of a "break".
The universe that AMFAR is in is slowly being assembled.[/b]
When you read this, you will have been in the new house for nearly a year already. How are you enjoying the room? Is it structured the way you wanted it?
[b]Well funnily enough, i moved twice last year. I'm now in a new place (with my parents, obviously) that was just built. Can't hear a fucking thing but it's further away from the city center to the point that walking back after a night out is more out of the question, good news is that i can take the night bus or a taxi if required.
I got my desk and that the same what as i lived prevously, only now i have a big ass wardrobe and i have a door... window thing. Apart from that, it's a a nice place, really.[/b]
Have you pasted your practical driving test in 2015? If not, you have another year to do so and if you still havent. Your going to have to do your theory again, let's not do that shit again.
[b]I've been seriously neglecting the driving, shit got in a way like having a job... I'll get back to it. Don't you worry.[/b]
Just keep doing what your doing. You've made huge leaps over the past few years and you have to continue. We arent fucking around any longer now. Take care of your friends as usual and try and not to be a cunt to anyone. That's all i really ask for.
[b]I will try.[/b]

Future Windy
I'm not going to spend too much time writing something for you next year like usual. Due to recent events that occured near the end of 2015, your social life... in the way of doing shit has been effected somewhat not by your actions, but by the actions of someone else which has, in one way or another, threw a spanner in the works. Which doesnt help when that person was the one that arranged said nights out.
So, hopefully by the time 2017 hits, you've had made some new friends somehow for one and... well, here's a more radical idea... taken that role of "person who gets shit arranged". All you needed to do is ask "you want to do something?" and there we go. If you can't do something so simple like that at the turn of 2017 then i don't know what the fuck is wrong with you.
However, if you have actually taken that role away from John then... good going. Just please don't fuck up like he did and backstab a good friend like what he did.
Hopefully by 2017 you have done more shit, earned more money and started on your projects. Please tell me then that you've done stuff. Please. [b]DON'T FUCK THIS UP.[/B]

Dear future me.
Please have accomplished something by now.
Love, past, hopefully more of a loser and not less, you.
Dear future me,
You probably didn't achieve any of the things we discussed you lazy useless piece of shit.
Go die in a fire.
Sincerely, past me
I hope uni is going fine. Stop procrastinating.
Dear future me,
Don't fuck shit up. Seriously. If you do, then goddammit you had one job.
Sincerely,
past me.
Dear me,
The year surely has been great and things should be working out. Hope you're doing well.
If things aren't going that well, don't worry, you know what the answers are and what matters, just look into yourself... and back, if you must.
Love,
You.
Dear old self,
I hope by the time you read this you aren't such a wreck of how you used to be, and i wish you be more optimistic of your own future.
Sincerely,
You.
Future me,
I really hope you didn't fuck up uni like i did this year. I'm already pissed at myself for wasting my time already. I need to pick up my game and study. This isn't fucking highschool anymore. You're going to one of the top unis in the country, fucking act like it. It'd be nice if we got a girlfriend too, but i guess that's not a priority. At least i lost my v-card this year. I hope your Mekong Delta trip went well, and i wonder if you'll be reading this in Korea or if you'll be stuck in Australia still. I hope i have enough cash to do what makes me happy. Gotta work hard. I wonder if i'll still be working at McDicks or if i got an actual real job that isn't hell on my body. I wonder if i'm any better at French then i am right now, maybe i even got off my ass and started on another language too. Chris is doing French this year. Get yourself to a level where you can actually talk. I hope i didn't do anything fucking stupid this year either. Also, make sure you didn't get your motorbike licence for nothing. Actually use it.
Best of Luck.
Dear CoolCorky MMXVII,
You should now have a degree in physics, and be working towards a PGDE. Alternatively (exam results dependant), you will be halfway through your masters year. If your work ethic is still anything like it was, then you've done very well considering.
How did Labour get on in the Holyrood election? Is Emperor Corbyn still at the helm? And did you have an active role in the campaign? If so, what could have been done better?
Are you still using the same PC? At present, bits are falling off / breaking down every single day, and you cannot afford replacements or indeed a new PC.
Who took over the Real Ale Society? How are they doing? I hope for their sake you aren't still basically running things. If that is the case, make the effort to relinquish more control to the committee. After all, you're not president any more.
AOB?
All the best for next year,
Coolcorky MMXVI
