If you could offer one sentence of advice to your 13-year old self..

13 years old is a tough one...I could think of plenty for my 18 y/o self. let's see 13...so that's 1990...junior high...not really anything I guess. Dont sell your kick ass telescope? Used to read alot of astronomy and take my scope out to stare at the moon and Saturn back then. Would love to still own that thing because it was nice, and really enjoyable.

Now 18, that's me slapping the shit out of me and making a huge list of DO NOTs. Dont smoke pot, don't work at shitty jobs, keep the damn band you're in instead of going for a year at a time and then doing something different in the name of boredom. So much failure regret it makes me sick here at nearly 34 with little to show for it. Now the world is all cyberfucked and nothing under the sun is new. FML.
 
There's 2 paths I could ahve directed myself in.

I would love to say bail on all those people you called friends at this age. The 2-3 years headstart on meeting new people will help and pick up a guitar NOW not years later. But on the other hand, stick with those people, do dumb shit-this was your gateway to lots of sex with multiple women who you wouldn't have to see in later years. :loco:

also at 17 you'll meet a woman, don't fuck it up,give it all. you will regret it later if you don't.

and get into audio earlier. spend all that cash on gear, especially the money you made first year out of high school. what happened to all of it?
