More on emails, focus Fwd.

This morning I got one that said "Beautiful Picture". Thinking it was in reference to some of the photos I put up last night, I opened it to find it was just another fwd. Too late, already downloading, might as well have a look at it.



As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end,
be afraid that it will never begin.
Send this to all of your friends in the next 5 minutes
and a miracle will happen tonight


I've noticed a trend. The same people tend to forward the same kind of emails time and time again. So many categories, but you know, there are the "hopeful" ones, such as this...the "send this to all your friends or some of them won't like you anymore" types...ETC. The authors of these hope-filled emails also tend to repeat themselves to sound right/for emphasis, and while I find it annoying, forwarders lap this shit up big time.

"Every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Always remember that there are one hundred centimetres in every metre. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. If you are waiting for bus number 9 and it does not turn up, don't be afraid to take the number 8 as it goes along the same route....."

WHAT THE FUCK EVER MAN!

I'm sorry, but being the chaser that I am, I say if you wanna see your friend, go knock on their door if they're nearby, call them if they're not, or write to them. How impersonal is a fwd that has been sent to 800kabillion people in the world??
