A Letter to Myself

Hi, currently I am 18 years old. My birthday is in 4 months. I weigh 150lbs and am 6ft. Shoe size is 10 ½. I am a senior and plan on painting cars.

Five months ago I broke up with Jill, a girl I went out with for a year and am now going out with a girl named Erica. I like her a lot.

Before I forget, I am getting my first drum-set this Friday, a Rodgers. My dad, Bob who I love very much, along with my mom Lynn and sister Jenae. But anyway my dad is going to teach me, as you know he used to play in a band in high school.

After high school graduation me, John, his cuz and someone we haven't picked yet. Are going to move into a house his dad owns on like 89th and Blondo. I am looking forward to Prom this year, it will be fun.

Right now I am working at Reagan Buick painting cars which I Love doing. I work for Dave, Jill's dad, a very nice guy. He is like a friend to me, or a second father. I can tell him everything. Remember Jill is my x-girlfriend. But it's not bad. I don't even think about her that much anymore.

Right now I love myself and love what I am doing with my life. I am having fun and enjoy waking up to a new day everyday. I do not take drugs; I will drink every so often. I am very good looking and get all the ladies.

I don't really care what I do after high school. As long as I am happy, got a good girl and make a good living to give my kids a good life and give them every chance to do what they want, to live life to the fullest like my parents did for me.

My handwriting is not the best, I hope it has changed. My friends are Justin N., John, and Bryan and Justin W. I hope to keep in touch with all of them. Those are my best friends just to remind you. I have 2 dogs Magic and NoMe and we put Sugar to sleep last year. I don't really have to much more to say but that I hope you or I am happy with my life 5 years from now and that's it. I love you man.

From Yourself

P.S. I forgot to tell you about my cars. I have a low rider truck S-10 2.5 V4, lowered 4" white nice and a 1980 CJ-7 V8 304 Black nice lifted 6", 35" tires - Big Beast.
