Yeah when I was in college, there was a girl that looking back on it, was totally into me. She was giving me every signal in the book that she wanted me to ask her out or something. Even though it's clear as day now for me to look back on, I was too dense back then and I didn't realize it. She probably thought I wasn't interested and she moved on.

1) When you get into your sophomore year and you meet Gina, ask her out, but don't do it until January or so--she'll be between boyfriends at this time. Not often you quote yourself, but it's in reference to this: Yeah when I was in college, there was a girl that looking back on it, was totally into me. She was giving me every signal in the book that she wanted me to ask her out or something. Even though it's clear as day now for me to look back on, I was too dense back then and I didn't realize it. She probably thought I wasn't interested and she moved on. That's about what happened to me. We talked once or twice, but my train of thought was "This woman is gorgeous--she'd never give me the time of day; I'm not even going to try." Turns out she would have loved to go out with me. It's my brain's fault. We talk on AIM all the time now, but I kind of hate the situation: she's engaged to a guy who's basically just like me right down to looks, except he's...better. He's better at being me than I think I'll ever be. So, yeah. Today, I'm a virgin who's never dated and I talk to what could have been my happy future every day. I consider it a martyrdom. I want it put on my tombstone: "HE SAVED THE WORLD A LOT"

I'd tell myself to finish school, probably quit drinking a lot sooner, find a way to avoid the health problems I had, and probably keep myself in better shape.

I'd ask myself a bunch of questions, and want to have them answered right away.
Who is my daddy, and what does he do?

It would be 1997, so id go find my 11 year old self and we'd do the Alex Wright dance together!!!!!
I loved it then and I love it now. It would be great fun.
But id probably also inform my self of things like 9/11, some torandos in my area, a few deaths that could possibly be prevented, and to not go for one specific tackle in 8th grade football, 3 months of pain and crutches could be avoided.

Warn myself to try & stop my friend killing himself.
Tell myself to stop being such a weakling at high school.
Give myself some lotto & sporting information.
And to tell myself that when Griff asks if I'm in or out I say that I'm out. ;D

I would inform myself that I do indeed got scrote.
Also...hmm. I suppose I'd just tell myself not to take life so seriously during a good chunk of high school. It'll save you a few friendships going downhill, and a lot of needless pain and misery.
Also, I'd tell myself to get a sense of style. Seriously, I looked ridiculous for a long time.

"Young dothebird, there is much you do not know. There is a rich young woman by the name of Paris Hilton. She must be...eliminated...."
Personally, I'd choose telling someone "Hey, there's these guys called al-Queda..." over trying to fix my own problems with the womens. There's always more fish in the sea....
:dothebird from the year 2017 arrives:
"Young dothebird, there is much you do not know about the state of fish in the future..."

Don't waste freshman year of high school at the private school. Go straight to Chicago public, join the wrestling team freshman year, and get in shape. Get better summer jobs and save the money.

1997 would be the ending half of my 8th grade year.So that means many crucial years ahead of that.I would tell myself; Be more agressive.I was always worried that I'd get in trouble when ever I felt like physically contronting someone.I could have easily squashed the huge egos of guys that probably couldn't defend themselves. Again be more agressive.Tae kwon do sparring would have been easier that way. Don't be so damn lazy.Endure the pain of school work.And when you get good grades.Be even more of a jerk(than usual) to that prick Mr. Stamplman when he tries to take credit for you getting grades. Focus on your art to actually look good. Get a job. Rent lots of anime from that guy's comic book.He'll close down in a few years. Be more assertive with girls.Especially with those asian ones in senior year.
Of course if I all that it would severely alter things and I would have not met a huge chunk of friends I know.

1) tell your mom to "grow a set" and stand up to your stepdad; he's manipulating her and causing a rift, and if you say "either he goes or I go," she'll probably choose to keep you around; if not, move out sooner.
2) ask Shannon out - she likes you, idiot, and you're gonna miss your chance!
3) if and when things don't work out with you and Shannon, don't get all stupid and emo about it. There will be others....
4) .... but when you meet a girl named Meg who lives an hour away from you, just make out with her like you will that night - DO NOT try to pursue it further, as she will be the biggest heartbreak of your life ten years from now.
5) don't do cocaine, no matter how much fun you think it will be
6) TURN IN YOUR DAMN ASSIGNEMTS! STUDY HARDER! GO TO COLLEGE RIGHT AWAY INSTEAD OF WAITING FOREVER! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!
7) if you end up moving to Kalamazoo after graduation and get evicted from your house because you and your roommates were too busy partying to pay the rent .... don't move in with your aunt. She is crazy and it will drive you nuts.
8) sometimes sex is just sex - don't make such a big deal out of it
9) guys and girls can be "just friends," so stop trying to nail all of your female friends before they start to resent you
10) the winning MegaMillions lottery numbers on your 18th birthday are as follows: ....
That's about all. I probably wouldn't believe me, though, because the almost-17-year-old Matt was a smartass teenager who thought he knew everything. Go figure.........

Wager everything on the Patriots in 2001. Then the Red Sox in 2004 ALCS.
Don't buy the Xterra, it's not worth the money.
Trust your friends.
And finally: Jump.

I'd tell myself to stop making porn compilation tapes and watch wrestling again because actual interesting stuff was starting up again (nWo, Austin, Etc).

Personally, I think I would tell myself to just go ahead and skip collage, as it didn't really help my career at all, in fact I ended up doing something that has nothing to do with what I went to school for, but I still have to pay for it, which sucks. But here's the hard question: do you have a job that requires a generic bachelor's degree in something? Most places I have worked have been this way. It could be a B.S. in Business or a B.A. in Basket Weaving, but they only hired graduates of 4 year colleges. If so your degree still sorta got you your job. I myself would have moved to Washington D.C. and/or Northern Virginia. It seemed like a big scary deal at the time, but I ended up drifting a lot in the late 90's staying in Chicago, and I had a small army of friends/potential roommates in D.C.
