forward this...
when will people quit sending me these bullshit forwarded emails? i am not interested. i don't want my luck to improve 100 fold if i pass the message on to 15 people within the next five minutes. i am not interested in the cute animal photos, they do not make me laugh. the suedo-porn photos are all the same. the forwards that tell me to smile and have a better day, actually make my day worse, because of the disappointment of receiving them has let me down greatly, when i was expecting a written note.
the funny thing is when people are first introduced to the internet, they think it is the greatest invention since the wheel. it is, but for the rest of the world who has known about email for many years now, and been using it successfully, the novelty has certainly worn off. it is a device for communication. not a devise for sending advertisement and useless cartoon messages that have zero relevance.
if you are one of those people that keep sending that crap to me or other people, then stop. get yourself a blog. then you can generate all the useless bullshit you feel like and people can choose to visit that site when they feel like it. rather than be bombarded by the junk emails that seem to fill up you "inbox." spam is one thing, but when friends are contributing to the same thing and the stupid forwards slip through the email filters, then it is an issue.
do i sounds pissed off to you? good. (i am not that angry really)
