It's Christmas... time to reflect

Dear FutureMe, I'm 38 and this Christmas I remember all those other Christmases that have come before. As I listen to the Christmas music I remember the thoughts I had listening to them in years past. I remember how lonely I was. I remember watching the love between couples, and I remember telling God, Santa, and whoever else would listen, how I only wanted my companion, my soulmate, m...

Winter Solstice Eve

Dear FutureMe, Do you remember today? Have you forgotten yourself already? You were miserable at your job -- your editor snapped at you and you still haven't had a chance to write a decent sentence since November -- yet you decided to turn down another job offer. It was the tedium that persuaded you. No need to trade one tedium for another. Once you made the decision, there was that ...

Dear FutureMe, If you are still a virgin by this date, give up on waiting for love and go fuck for christ's sake. Make sure the guy has no obvious ills, make sure he wears a condom, and just fuck. Feel it. You've waited long enough, and you shouldn't feel guilty or dirty for wanting to fuck. You don't really believe in God, but since you've been a good person all your life and It hasn't...

Have you written your 2nd book yet?

Dear FutureMe, The Current Me has just received another rejection for a book proposal from Hay House. I know how to "celebrate the no's" - because every No means I'm one step closer to a Yes. I also know I have to keep writing proposals and submitting them in order to get the Yes. So, FutureMe, how many proposals have you sent in this year? Get off your butt and get another proposal w...

A difficult day

Dear Webster, Yesterday Jennifer came home at 10am. I figured she had been at Louie's house even after she swore she wouldnt be over there anymore. She came in, I asked where have you been. I was sleeping because I got called by Joe to sell hot dogs out of the blue. I havn't worked there in quite sometime. She said she was at Louie's, I asked what were you doing. She said trying to fig...
