Get something built for space (or at least some nice model rockets with you-know-who).
Keep loving and supporting you know who for what will be three and a half years by then!
Hope mom and dad are accepting of you when you finally come out.
Hope work is still as enjoyable as it is now as this is still the beginning of your career.
Good luck ya nerd,
Dear future me,
Let's hope your grades have improve.
Don't be a fag.
It keeps happening!
Right now you just want to make her happy, don't mess up anymore. Keep being a boi
By this time in 2019, I'll be married, have finished school, watched my sister get married, and be househunting and in a permanent career. Future me, past me is excited but tense about all this. Hope it went well!
I hope you actually get to read this.
hope that paper got published
hope you got swole
hope you aren't an alcoholic
hope you found a way to manage your other addictions in a way that is productive
hope you went to more music shows and cut that fuckkin rug up
hope you played more tabletop games
hope you wrote a story or some shit like that around the ideas you've had kicking around in the back of your brain for years
maybe some other shit i dunno, shit, 2017 was a big year for you for a lot of dumb and beautiful reasons. hope 2018 wasn't quite as crazy/stupid.
I forgot to write a post in last year's thread, so I'll just make it a two year jump.
[QUOTE=Capsup;49433910]This past year was really productive. You finished your bachelor's degree in style. You ended up not bothering with the Master's degree as expected, which is alright. You moved into a sweet new apartment where there's only you to fuck shit up. It feels pretty nice for a change. You're pretty broke at this very moment, but you're on track to be completely debt free within the next 6 months which is really awesome. Don't forget to get that emergency fund saved up for as well though. You did get some work done on the game and I applaud you for it. We've gotta up the pace a little in 2016 though and get a working prototype out there. People will love it and hopefully we can get an actual development team started sometime this year. You've also laid the foundation for moving to the USA and getting a really nice job. Hopefully I can finish what you started.
Goals to accomplish before 2017:
[[B]x[/B]] Completely debt free [B]Definitely. We don't owe anyone any money anymore.[/B]
[[B]x[/B]] Emergency fund of atleast 3 months taken care of [B] And we even got this taken care of too! [/B]
[[B]x[/B]] Moved to the USA and got a job in San Francisco [B]Unfortunately this never happened. Apparently getting working permits in the states with just a Bachelor's Degree isn't particularly easy. [/B]
[[B]/[/B]] Completely finalized the PC setup [B]I'm giving this half an x. Everything as planned at this point in time has happened, but there's always more![/B]
[[B]x[/B]] Kept up the weight loss [B]Oh man did we do we good on this part. Down 45 kg throughout the last 2 years AND taken on some muscle! Well done dude.[/B]
(I'm deliberately not putting the GF goal on here, because you and I both know it's not going to happen this year. We're going to be too busy with other stuff. Hang in there bro.)

Oh boy, it's been two years my dude. 2016 was the year of making money, enjoying money and (later) burning money. Pretty much all that happened for the year was just enjoying life. You started out the year with the same great job as during university. You ended up being almost backstabbed by your boss who decided you didn't get the raise nor the bonus that your older coworkers got for the same project that you were a part of, so you decided to see what other opportunities were out there and tried a job at a IT-consultant firm which sounded nice initially (not to mention the pay was insane compared to the previous job), but turned out to be the job of your nightmares. However, it did lead you onto your current path; being self-employed.
In November of 2016, you quit your job and started your own company as well as becoming CTO for a startup, where you still are today. Where 2016 was the year of making money, 2017 was the year of burning them, since the decision to self-finance your firm's product was made. You've never made as few money as during 2017 and you've never spent so much time working, but your prior work on saving up money has really paid of.
The game idea you had been working on prototyping for a while was actually picked up by a company on Kickstarter with almost the exact same core values, so you ended up kinda dropping that whole project and just had fun with it every once in a while. Throughout both years you worked hard on weightloss and generally changing your life style and oh boy, is the result amazing. After losing 45kg and having been bouldering for half a year, you're starting to really look in shape. There's still a bit of fat percentage to lose, but that'll dissapear automagically as you keep up your new lifestyle. And after finally beginning to look attractive, you've spent quite some effort on dating and meeting girls. You went into it with zero experience and although the few months afterwards were probably the hardest you've ever been through mentally, you've come out in the other end even stronger than before AND with a nice girl to boot.
I'm really proud of our work throughout these last 2 years.
Looking forward, it's time to get your firm's product finished so you can start having some freetime available again. Your friends have direly missed your presence (atleast according to them) and you direly miss having the time available to be present. The finish line for your weightloss has never been closer, it's so close you can almost jump across the finish line now, but there's still the last sprint of losing the remaining excess fat. I also believe this is the year where your old plans of becoming a millionaire could actually come to fruition. You've put yourself in a position where you can go in almost any direction you could think of and several of them would put you in an extremely well-off position, atleast financially. I'll leave the choice of which path to follow to you.
Goals to accomplish for 2018:
[] Releasing your firm's first product
[] Body fat percentage of ~15%
[] Actually taking a vacation for the first time in 2 years. Spain or the states?
[] Cliché goal of getting a girlfriend

[QUOTE=TicTac;51635634]Hi DicTac, do you have a new car yet? Maybe a decent Subaru or something? You're a bright kid and keep pushing yourself to achieve greatness.
P.s. I'll have you know I've been watching you for the past 23 years so don't fuck up or I'll frown upon you for eternity.
Love, TicTac[/QUOTE]Hi TicTac, I'm buying a Subaru in a month. You already knew that because by the time you read this you would have owned it for nearly a year. A lot will happen in 2018 so do your best not to die, I have some faith in you. Tell me about it next year, I'd love to hear it.
Your friend, TicTac
quit letting urself get hurt by snake bitches you retard
If you're still here and seeing this, remember well Mikfoz's last words.
Has anything changed? anything at all?
for better or for worse, it's better than nothing changing for another year.
worst case, you can say "at least I tried". best case, who knows what you could have to say? you could be reading this thinking "if only you knew". I hope you're thinking that, you deserve to.
and if you're not even meeting worst case, let's be honest. was there any point making it this far?

Future Windy
Alright, so as I'm writing this, you should have just recently gone through with that ballsy plan of going off to Japan with Ryan for a short while, or just somewhere else if that fell through. And hopefully Nicky will look better looking than she is right now.
Also, hopefully things around the world haven't gone completely to pot... I mean, Brexit is going to happen, Trump is going to happen. When you see this, it's already happened. There's a whole lot of uncertainty around the world but you've went through it all without caring too much about it, and if you still are for some reason. Then hell, don't worry about it.
Now seriously, by 2018 you should have some following going. Make videos, animate stuff, draw more. I don't care what you do, just get out there and do something. But above all, WORK ON THE FUCKING PROJECT.
We both know what we are talking about. I hope you've actually done it this time.
Past 2017 and slightly hungover Windy[/QUOTE]
Well, it's taken me this long to write a message, it's already half way through February! Sorry dude, i've been really busy in that hellish place but also i've just not found the right words to reply to myself.
So yes, first off. I did go to Japan. And as much as it kicked my arse for being so different. (And other reasons we both know.) I seriously i want to go back there, i want to spend more time there but i don't know how exactly i'll manage to do so however. The best option is doing the TEFL thing but you need a degree to even be considered. Ryan will scout ahead on this first and if it sounds like something i really want to persue, i'll work towards that goal. It might be that i'll be nearly 30 when i get to that point but, better late than never, right? I mean, that tarot card reading was The Fool and that is infinite possibilies and shit. We can get this done.
For some reason, Rugby has grown on me. Enough for me to consider going to the world cup in 2019... which is in Japan, and Scotland are playing. And they are playing both Ireland AND Japan. That just sounds like an experiance, so i'll be aiming on saving up enough money to go there for a good month or so. At least watching the group stages because it's Scotland and i doubt we'd get through that stage. But hey, we can drink with the best of them. Many Scotsmen are going to have their fucking mind blown seeing not only shops selling alcohol past 10pm but also vending machines selling said alcohol. And it's going to be glorious.
Oh, Nicky hasnt changed, she's gotten worse and only worse. Why the fuck do i bother with her? I'd rather go to New York or anywhere else by myself than have her tag along.
The world has gone to pot, can't do anything about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good news, we are working on the project (AMFAR) and not only are we working towards it, we have Kao/Lok on our side for it. Infact, you've gotten quite close to him all the sudden once he found discord and you've been doing a lot of streams with him. It's progress but we need to do more. And i can't just let them do all the work for me. Fuck that.
We are making videos, lots of videos. And we have the Youtube and Twitch off the ground... it's hovering off the ground but it's off the ground at least.
Anyway, all is good. Somewhat successful year was 2017. But there's always room for improvement. I'll see you next year, Windy. just... please keep in touch with everyone.
I wonder if we'll find this when Newpunch finally arrives...
---
Alright, let's get this shit out of the way.
2019 Windy is going to have...
* Been to New York, or anywhere actually around the world. Doesnt have to be New York. We need to get you more confident for when you go to Japan in 2019 for the Rugby World Cup.
* Has saved up enough money to stay in Japan for a good month or so for said Rugby World Cup, because sky is the limit.
* Has some sort of success with Women, and just be happy all around.
* Left that fucking Pub and found work somewhere else that has this thing called "CONSISTENCY". If you find a new job, you'll be a lot happier, i'm sure of it.
* Gotten to the point where AMFAR and the universe it is set in has gotten off the ground. You have Lok to help you with it, use him.
Let's make this a good one.
[sp] ...bet you can't make 500 subs on youtube. [/sp]
Hey, you've finally done it! You got your degree! Now try to find an actual job.
[QUOTE=Shaohs;53020614]If you even held hands with a girl, congratulations buddy.[/QUOTE]
Holy shit it happened, congrats
holy shit [B]you made it[/B]. Hope you aren't looking back at all this [B]RAD SHIT[/B] I'm putting you through with regret.
get a fucking job

You still didnt finish the watch at this point you moron. FINISH IT.
Also, I hope you do well on the MCAT. And I know med school is unlikely at this point, given our current situation, but I hope you tried your best, and are ready to show your true potential when you apply at the end of YOUR year.
Best of luck on your future endeavors!
Remember how you used to think you'd be dead by 20? Hard to believe you've almost made it there.
You may not have done everything right, and we can't expect everything to be spotless from here - but since we've made it this far we must have something down.
Stay strong, see you next year.
Get better at what you like dummy.
You better have a job goddamn it
Hey me.
Been a while since I wrote this, so I hope you're doing well. If everything went well, by the time you're reading this you'll be starting university and will have a job and some money saved. How's the new desk? Did you buy those new clothes you've been needing for so long? Did you finally stand up to your sister and mother to get them to stop being pricks to you?
If you didn't do any of that, then hopefully you'll get these things done this new year instead. You're probably still alone right now, so just know that past me is rooting for you. There's a chance that things may be rougher for you than they are for me, but hold on for as long as you can. Remember the dream you've got and keep fighting for it, because it's worth it in the end.
If everything goes by plan, you should have just finished your first semester of College, congrats!
I hope you're having a good time in the US and that you have tamed the demons in our head.. :smile:
