Crap I Like

I like it when I wear seasonal clothes for the first time that year and find neat things in the pocket -like movie ticket stubs from last fall or receipts, or Chinese food fortunes. But the best is cash. By the way, I have not found any money in pockets this season, but I have found some cools relics from John circa 2009. What would I tell him? What would I tell him...

This reminds me of a recent essay I read by Chuck Klosterman. He likes to ask people, 'If you could phone the you from ten years ago and tell yourself anything at all -for 15 seconds- what would you tell them?' You don't have time to provide context or anything, you just get 15 seconds to say something to your past self.
He's found that women tend to say that they'd offer don't do this or that kind of advice, and men tend to offer do this or that kind of advice. What would you say? -J
