Dear Becca Hormann,
... I feel embarrassed to even say that I can remember this, but I probably had the biggest crush on you in the 3rd grade. How do I remember this, I have no idea. I remember this one time, you were hiding underneath a table and you jumped out to scare me. With me being really jumpy, I jumped, panicked, and fell over a desk. Awesome memory right? I just find it crazy that I remember something like that, because at the age of 22, I can barely remember what I did last weekend. All I know for sure is that you made fun of me all the time. I think that's a reoccurring thing of interest to me, because all the past girls I've fell for always made fun of me. Must be the "cocky" aspect.
Sadly, I don't even really recognize your face. I feel quite creepy that I even have you as a FB friend because I want to say you moved to a different town at a young age. I wonder if I added you or you added me. I'll have to go with I added you. I can probably guess what happened. One inebriated night, I probably came back do some drunken FBing and stumbled upon some mutual friends and then I probably thought of the 3rd grade crush. Or something on the lines of that. Anyways, I see that you attend a private school... tisk-tisk-tisk. But then again my most of my best friends went to a private school... Oh and I just noticed your hometown is Jackson. I was airlifted in a heli after a football game in Jackson. Oh highschool sports... they took a toll on me, I actually feel like an old man cause I can barely walk some mornings after playing basketball.
Enjoy the "Real World", cause I am in no hurry to reach that point... yet.
Cheerio,
Alastar Swift
PS. I remember waking up in the hospital for like 5minutes, and then waking up in the Helicopter thinking, "Where the %#!@ am I?" The guy that was sitting by me, saw that I was awake and all he did was zip up the body bag over my head so I couldn't see anything... Ass. Anyways, that was my first helicopter ride.

Dear Nick Hoelmer,
The first thing that comes to mind, is that you replaced me at my old job since I had to move on to gain "real-world" experience. You worked with my best friend and he told me the funniest story. You two were cleaning a room, and you being the smartest and coolest thing to come through (Dub-town), you decided to call 911. When the cops came running to the room, how did you play it off? You said, "Oh I was just cleaning the phone." ... ... really?... Let me get this right, you had the phone off the hook, and then it just so happened that you only hit 2 numbers in the correct sequence when cleaning the phone...
So your profile status states, "Enjoy life, You won't regret it." I can't deny your saying, but I don't like the fact that you have to state it. Shouldn't we all enjoy life without having to connect to a phrase or quote? They are nice to remind us on that we are living that way, but to have a close connection to a certain quote/phrase is not the way to live life. Why you may ask, because we aren't living our life by following someone else's thoughts or ways of living. We are all capable of connecting to different things but we should always keep in mind to have the power to take a step back and realize where we are in life and if that's where we want to be. If not, then that is when you make YOUR own changes.
Oh and I noticed you are a Privateer (Private school kid) and this is why this ends now. BOO PRIVATEERS!
Cheerio,
Alastar Swift
PS. The one quote that I can NOT stand would be, "Live life without regrets." Can you really live life without regrets? I don't believe that you can. I have regrets but I'm not going to dwell on them, but it's called you took a chance that you thought was worthwhile. There are no mistakes, only lessons learned.

Dear Megan Pulvermacher,
OMG, just like the Usher song, except for the fact that I do not know who you are. From first glance from your facebook profile, you don't even go to the same college as me. This brings conspriracy to the thought that, "do I know you?" I checked the easily available facts of "mutual friends" and I see that have 3 people in common. Crazy, but I really only know one of the friends in common. Sad? maybe, True? of course. I see that you go to the college that is pretty much the rival school of mine... tisk tisk, why would you go to such a school... actually the question that I should be asking is that... Why am I friends with a person that I don't know and someone that happens to be the rival school???
I guess sometimes the world we live in can be really "small." As some people say, "the world is small after all." Crazy to think about that everyone could be really 6 degrees apart. So something in the cosmos probably made us meet, but sadly it didn't keep us in touch. I see that you are in a relationship, congratulations. I give you props to that, because I understand how hard keeping a relationship running can be. Especially if you are graduating in the next year as you according to your facebook profile. Actually I misread your profile and I see that you are a grad student at a college very near mine. I hope that everything is going very well and that you and your significant other are running smooth. I on the other hand, could not handle such an occasion. Your profile picture does not portray yourself, but yet an abstract thought or an idea that you may have during the process of picking a picture out. It seems to be that it is of a cloud that may be a simple demonstration of a snow mountain. (or at least that is what I get out of your profile picture.)
Anyways my friend is cooking breakfast/late night meal at the local time of 2:17am. I taste tested it and it's fabulous. His brother's Profile (it may not work if he has crazy security settings, but lets be honests it may not be worth clicking since he asked/made me mention him in this post.)
Enjoi,

Dear Jordan Karth,
Man I can almost remember/see all the freshman memories we had. Freshman year wouldn't have been the same if we didn't cross paths especially when it came to pre-gaming and running the beer pong tables at random house parties. But as we all know, Freshman year has been in the past for about 4 years making it actually hard to pull a lot of specific event ups. I'm sure you joined us pre-gaming before every basketball game and probably all the way up to the National Title game. Remember that crazy 4 kegger right after they won the finals to get to the championship? It started at like 10:30pm and I just remember craziness, and then oh wait... yep... I woke up in a lawn that night/morning (earliest drunken phone call to a friend recorded at like 4:30am) and I just remember being SO lost. But thank god for that Rock on the cliff to guide me home.
Well I think the last time I saw you on campus was around Sophomore year. I wonder what you have been up to. I think you said something about transferring schools? Well I hope that paid off for you, because this college town doesn't offer everything for people to grow and find themselves in. From your profile pic, I see you're a Brewers fan, so I now need to stop typing. This is Twins Territory Son!!
Best of Luck to you old friend,
Alastar Swift

Dear Alicia Reeves,
Bonjour, comment allez-vous? ca va bien? aah... What can I say, we met freshman year in French class. We didn't know anyone and we became speaking partners. To both our benefit, we both sucked at French. Our teacher wore the tightest black shirt and legging that made me want to drop the class ASAP. I mean I don't want to be mean, but picture a 4'9'' white haired little angry French woman wearing the tightest black outfit that clearly defined her... can I say multiple rolls on her stomach? or is that just too mean? Anyways, we struggled through that class while also partying hard on the weekends. I think we always ran into each other at parties and tried to have a conversation in French but it usually failed miserably. I don't know if it was the fact that both of us were terrible at French or that I was just inebriated past the point of no return. Side note: There was a plus to me taking French other than I thought it would get me ladies. The entire class was full of very, very cute girls. Best "Super Hard" class I've ever taken. And I have to throw out a thank you to the girl that helped me pass the class. ( I wonder if I'm FB friends with her..)
Well taking a glance on your FB page, I see you enjoyed being in the middle of this blizzard that just came over our great state. I hope it didn't take you 30 minutes in the below-zero weather to dig out your car like it took me, but it may be otherwise looking at your status update. Aaah you and your boyfriend look lovely in your profile pic. Good luck with the relationship, as I know that it can get pretty complicated once one or both of you graduate college and try to start a career. I've noticed at this young age, some peoples' lives circle around their significant-other instead of leading their own life. Personally, I am happy being "that part" of their crazy-busy life, while concentrating on the path that is best for me... but that might explain why I am single and have always been dumped. Well maybe I'll catch you at the local restaurant that I always seem to run into you at. Until then...
Cheerio,
Alastar Swift
P.S. Have you ever thought of the term, dumped. I guess it just sounds funny to me. It has a really negative vibe when you say it. I always think, we'll I guess I'm free to do all the things I want to now... but, that's probably from being "dumped" all the time. (haha)

Dear Mackenzie Moy,
Oh I really don't know where to start. We met through friend's of friends during good ole' freshman year. I remember we had quite the gang of great people. I remember, Thursday nights were very festive for our group as we had quite the taste for "Thirsty Thursday" down at the local Fraternity House. I mean, where else would serve underage kids, right? You were one of the groups girlfriend and if I remember right, it was quite the relationship. Now I have no right to bring things up, but all I will say is that I remember it being quite messy at times. Sadly, I can not recall a single conversation that we may have had together. That is because 1) I either drank too much and "blacked out" all the time 2) we just never had a meaningful conversation. Sad? Yes. True, of course.
Well from your Facebook page, I still see that you enjoy going out on Thursdays still. "I need a drink… Status Update on Thursday" More power to you, as I would probably join but my liver isn't like it used to be when I was a young 18 year old. I hope that you have found a sweet job and that it may actually be challenging, as I for one.. cannot stand boring and easy jobs. My mind needs to be used or else I get really bored fast. Well it's probably been about 3 years since the last time I've seen/talked to you. I wonder what happened, but then I just realized that I didn't like some of your personality traits. I will keep those confidential, but I hope that you have changed to become a better person during the collegiate years that you had. If not, I am sorry to hear that.
Hope that Travelers Insurance keeps you busy and you strive to always be happy.
Cheerio,

Dear Dan McElwee,
… Where to even start with you sir. You were my first college roommate (I had 3 different roommates my freshman year). Man the memories come back to our dorm room, Prentiss 108! Which we actually kept clean because we both were rarely in there. You were pledging a Fraternity for the only semester that you were at college. Why did you drop out so fast? I can't remember for the life of me. At least you got to experience one semester of college right? Well I do have to apologize for making fun of you all the time.. I mean seriously it was way too much fun mimicking your one-of-a-kind voice. I think I can still do it to this day… yep, still got it. (Heey maaan, How'sss it gooinng.) Gotta figure out how to get audio on this, cause that just doesn't do justice.
Your profile pick is pretty tight. You sir, definitely look like the Mad Hatter. Like scary good… not a Johnny Depp kind of good, but you are creepy enough to pull it off. That's in a good way! I hope that you still don't have that crazy screaming band chick poster hanging up that you adored soo much. I mean sometimes I'd walk in and you'd be staring at that poster a little too… well we won't get into that. I remember you did some crazy stuff when J-dawg (2nd roommate, I was in a build up room, which is 3 people in a 2 person dorm) was in the room looking at "adult" websites. I don't even know where to start in the explanation that he was looking up that, and you were.. we'll having too much fun with yourself. Anyways, I hope you've grown out of that phase in life, and accomplishing something. If not, well I guess that's why I haven't heard from you in… 5 years.
Well whatever adventures you're off doing in this crazy world, God Speed
Alastar Swift
Ps. I'm finally graduating this year. How about you?
