It’s so egotistical." Yeah, but you had done more at that point than a lot of people do in their entire lives. I'm 28 and I've STILL never been outside the States. “Besides, I hate people who write their memoirs when they’re young. It’s so egotistical.”

Your 'old journals' label have 46 pages of entries. This one is on page 40, and I've been reading everything from the start. It's a great read, truly inspiring. I can really can relate to young Jordan. You wrote this in your late twenties, and I'm 28 now. Except my life is really a bore, but we like a lot of the same stuff. I went to film school, just to find out i didn't really had the drive. All I have to show (yeah, over my dead body) is a shitty cartoon short. Then nothing happened for years and I forced myself to get some deadend civil service job. And now I decided to start over and I'm studying Computer Science, after work at night. Gamedev is at least a useful hobby, struggling to make my own version of pong taught me a enough to give me some edge on programming and something to brag about to my classmates, who are all 10 years younger than me, haha. In 1992 I was 11. It was around that time that I got to play Prince of Persia, and it blew me away. Thank you for posting these journals. They should make a movie about you. That’s pretty funny.
