Dear 25 Year Old Mark

Dear 25 year old me:

 

  • Get the hell out of Michigan ASAP.  But always keep in touch with your friends & family.
  • Make sure you know what the hell a FICO score is.  Constantly put a few bucks into different investment vehicles.  But stay away from high yielding promises from New York Jews.
  • Always take care of yourself and your family first!
  • Wash your hands a lot.
  • Begin taking Biotin 10,000mg a day to keep your hair, skin and nails growing.
  • Besides English- learn a conversational different language- probably Spanish.  You will especially need it when you travel.
  • Wear more sunscreen! Try wearing a hat for a change.  But never own a cowboy hat. People who wear a cowboy hat lose their hair immediately.
  • Jump at the chance to go see as many concerts that you can. But stay away from any country music crap.
  • Stay in great shape by working on your core.  That is the part of your body you have been abusing since you were 17.
  • Always wear a helmet with a cage when you play ice hockey.  Don’t be a dumb ass and ever take it off on the ice.
  • When you see a person in any military uniform tell them thank you for your service.  But don’t join one.
  • Learn CPR now.
  • Release that stress daily by training, screaming in your pillow, squeeze a ball in your hands etc…don’t take it out on walls or on any person.
  • Make sure you have all your passwords written somewhere in a clear and organized fashion. Always delete your history of watching porn.
  • Definitely get a fun loving dog.  Nothing better than the unconditional love they give to you.
  • Chivalry lives. Be a nice person.  Karma baby.  Have integrity and honesty especially in your family life. Cover ups don’t fucking work period.
  • Wear shoes that fit you.  Have good support and for each occasion you are in. Only go barefoot on the beach or in bed.
  • Keep playing that instrument you started to learn.  Chicks dig the guitar. And if you are with your woman at a football game watch the bands play during halftime instead of taking the piss you have been holding in.
  • Be ready to travel, travel, travel.  There are so many cool places to see. But you gotta try to be your own boss to have the time you will need.
  • Laugh often. And it is ok to laugh at anything that is funny to you.
  • Start visiting a chiropractor now. Get massages often and do a lot of stretching.
  • Don’t smoke cigars inside your house ever.  The smell never leaves.
  • Get yourself at least three suits that fit you.  One has to be black.
  • Don’t talk to that ‘4th cousin’ on your moms side that will be at your wedding.  You have never seen her before and you never will again. Be a guest at your own wedding.  Have the time of your life. Make it special for your wife by talking to her, kissing her in front of all the others. Then absolutely make love that night NO matter what.  You will only have 1 wedding night.

 

There is a lot more to tell you but you are gonna have to live and learn. Enjoy the ride.
