Emails

I don't know about anyone else, but when I Bcc; someone in an email, I kinda feel bad about it.  It's basically an admission that you are doing something shady.  If anyone knows of any time where Bcc'ing someone isn't dirty, please let me know. And if it isn't dirty, it's probably only because you emailed the person you are Bcc'ing first letting them know you will be Bcc'ing them in the near future.  It makes it easier if you preempt the person by telling them you are about to do something shady.  Less shady that way.

Spelling

I hate when this happens. I'm on the phone with a rep for a product and I have to ask her for her email address. She's all like "Ok, are you ready? It's A-A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R@suchandsuch.com" So I'm all trying to listen and write out this email address out while she's spelling it out. I finish and realize it's just a alexander. If your name is a basic word and not hard to spell, just say it. My email address is a-alexander @ whatever.com. Don't make me work twice as hard trying to listen to you. Just say the word. If my email address was spellitout.com I still wouldn't spell it out. Just an observation.

Smart Phones

As far as phones go, I held out as long as I could. But these days you can either get a Zach Morris flip phone with a dot matrix green screen, or you can get the most souped up device to enter existence since the 1990 Honda Civic. And when you take the smartphone plunge you gotta go all in. I got the Cadillac of smartphones. The new Droid Incredible2. It lives up to its name. It's pretty incredible, not gonna lie. I couldn't keep my hands off it for the first night. Luckily, the novelty has worn off. I pretty much only do typical phone things on it, and haven't really fact checked anyone on it yet. As smart as smartphones are, this one's predicative text is not good at predicting words. It's really annoying. And you have to use two hands to type. My old phone learned words, this one doesn't. But the best part of owning a smartphone is that it forces you to unsubscribe to the 10 different daily emails you subscribe to but never really read.

Can it be true?

Can it be true that all those email forwards you never forwarded could actually turn out to be real? Like if you followed the directions and forwarded that email to ten more people, your crush would realize at midnight that they actually have a crush on you? Maybe I did that once when I was 15. (I don't think she ever realized she liked me, or if she did, she never let me know) Luckily I don't get many emails like that anymore. Maybe I get one or two a year from my mom, but they are usually religious ones that I feel bad about not forwarding, but wind up not forwarding them anyway. But all those emails that said "if you don't forward this to ten people in the next ten minutes you will have bad luck for ten years with relationships" are probably real. My luck has been terrible lately. No prospects either. Should have just forwarded those emails... I'd have been a pimp by now writing books. "Mike, how do you do it? how do you have so much game?" "Well,I'm really kinda embarrassed to admit it, but it's really quite simple. I've been forwarding the shit out of those emails. Been getting a bunch of phone calls around midnight for the last few years. It's really incredible." Help a brotha out.
