An open letter to someone you want to think you’re awesome...

Hey neices and nephews,

Why would your uncle Jared, who is awesome, and has never cared who does or doesn’t think it’s true, care that you think he’s awesome?

Well, I guess that’s just the way of things. I think all your aunts and uncles want you to like them. You’re like our surrogate kids, with all the benefits of offspring and none of the responsibilities. We don’t have to raise you, we just get to play with you and see who you grow up to be. I want you to always think your uncle Jared is awesome, whether he gets a job at LucasArts or not, whether his girlffriend brings you cool stuff from India or not. Eventually you grow up enough to learn we’re just as flawed and fallible as your parents, if not more, but while you’re young we just all want to be your favorite.





I know you’ll all grow up to do amazing things and be amazing people. Just don’t grow up to quickly.

Love, Uncle Jared.

I think probably you care what they think, as opposed to everyone else, because unlike other people they really do know the difference between awesome and not.

But please don't take too much credit for cool stuff I bring back from exotic foreign locales. I want them to think I'm rad too.
