In general I don't allow people to email me our questionnaire later in the day/week/because it becomes month/year/never. Today when Kim asked if she could fill it out later and send it over I simply said, 'no, I'll just ask somebody who won't big-time me. I'm sorry you're busy you seem glowingly interesting,' or something along those lines. Whatever I said, it worked, she filled out the sheet and I was happy.
Happiness happens for many reasons; eating a hot dog, finding a $5 bill in your pocket, finding a hot dog in your pocket, etc. For me the happiness if felt today was less related to finding out that Kim has grandparents are accepting of all races and more because I feel like I dodged an email quote line. Double happiness happened later when I learned that I had a mustard and bun equip hot dog in my pocket, I ran home for the sauerkraut.
I've received somewhere near 90 million emails in my lifetime, OVER 90 MILLION!!! (Please note that I have no idea how many emails I've actually received in my life time.) Among those 90 million about 1 million were actual emails where 89 million were of the spam variety, of the 1 million about 450,000 were from people who I hardly know/people working with me, of those 450,000 about 400,000 had a quote below the sender's name. Of the 550,000 that were friends, never a quote. I like it that way.
Let me break that down:
90,000,000 emails
89,000,000 spams
1 million real peoples
550,000 great peoples (17 of those from girls who've seen me naked)
450,000 rapists
400,000 life changing quotes
These quotes are usually in a different font, usually a different color, different font size, and ALWAYS worthless. If I were in the business of manufactured motivation I'd have posters around my bedroom, I don't.
I can literally think of zero examples of such quotes because I've never read them, only skipped them with a sigh and the silent recognition that they will never be a part of my aforementioned 17 email club.
If it were cool quoting people would use them for their facebook accounts, but if I were a loser here are some quotes that I would use to solidify my loneliness.
"Remember that tomorrow is coming whether you smile today or not."
"Happiness is a warm (hot) dog."
"Mama always said life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get until you take a bite and realize that you fucked up and picked the marshmallow one and your girlfriend is only letting you have one."
"If there is anything worth knowing I invented it."
Something smart like that.
So the questionnaire is always going to be the jump-off point but after that we don't necessarily have to stick to music?
ReplyDeleteNope, we don't have to stick to the questionnaire at all...I think we should reference it, maybe just once per day but we can post a few times if we want.
ReplyDeleteSS didn't start with it.
