Mail, Manhood Issues and Mortgages

My poor inbox is enduring a lifetime of hell. In recent months, the poor inbox has been inundated by a bunch of bullshit emails. The constant FLOODING never stops, and no matter how many ‘new’ email accounts I create; they end up falling in that trap.

Firstly, what the hell is TADALAFIL?!?!?! I am so sick of seeing that word (one time I clicked on an email … because the subject line promised me some fun things) and discovered that Tadalafil is a generic name for Cialis? Tadalafil soft tabs, Tadalafil soft tabs, Tadalafil soft tabs … OK - we fucking get it. I wonder how the Cialis folk got a hold of my email in the first place; pretty sure I haven’t done any searches on erectile dysfunction.

What about the ‘COLLEGE GIRLS ON CAM’ emails? Those stay in my inbox forever because for some sneaky reason, they don’t sort themselves as ‘NEW' email on the first page … instead, they find a home way, way back at the end of all my messages. And some girl named JULIE (she has a different last time every time) emails me daily. Some days she’s 18 and lonely, others she’s 18 and horny, and some she’s 18 and bored. All days she's 18 and a horrible speller.

The Mortgage people have “LOW, LOW rates” but they can’t spell either. In their quest to bypass junk filters, they come up with all sorts of creative things:
MortGAG, MartGage, M`0rt`gage (?!?!) Idiots.

If ONE more friend of mine ever sends me a “Hi, Come Join me and my friends in my network” email, I will just lose it. I usually ignore each and every single one of those things. It seems so involved and just too tedious to sign up, add your friends look for other friends to add and invite those who aren’t signed up.

If you’re like me and you ignore those things … you get 3 messages/ invitations from any given person …

Message 1: Hi … Come join me
Message 2: Hi, PLEASE… come join me … I’m worried
Message 3: I’m very upset with you for not joining me


Well fuck you. Now leave me alone.

Don’t these loser-people have better things to do than sit on the computer and ‘find’ each other and send me annoying messages to come join their friends network?

So … Yeah … I joined this Facebook thing (A friend network) -- Maybe because U.T. was telling me about it over IM instead of sending me an annoying email invitation, and I checked it out and so far I’m severely addicted and I love it. I love it and I’m going to send out invitations to EVERYBODY!

The Facebook is basically college-based, and you sign up under whatever school you went to. Yours truly, Virginia Techin’ it … I signed up there and started finding my friends (some I have not seen or heard from in over 2 years). It’s incredible. The funniest thing though under Virginia Tech is how EVERYONE is friends with Michael Vick … the man has 3,000 + friends.

Me on the other hand, I only have like 20 people there … what an ego bash. Where is the entire class of 2003?!? I knew ALL of those motherfuckers. But seriously, it’s a pretty new phenomenon so everyone on there is from class of 2006 – 2009. However, those of us who don’t get old as farts real quick and like to keep up with them young whippersnappers WILL NOT CONCEDE. Bitches. We’re on to you and we’re taking over your little friend network thing.

Especially now that I don’t watch television anymore. What else is my dumbass going to do every evening?

Happy Friday.

Note: By the way, sometimes I send myself emails (attachments and so) so I can have access to whatever I need from different locations. I ALWAYS end up in my own ‘junk’ or ‘bulk’ folder. WHY? Do I end up in everyone else's junk folder?

TFL, I haven't gotten good at sending out invites yet. Though I see you like to take matters into your own hands, thanks for the invite.

Yahoo mail is pretty good at filtering spam.
Also, Mozilla Thunderbird if you'd prefer a mail client is pretty good. It actually "learns" what is spam.

yeah, My yahoo seems to be handling it the best. However Yahoo is the one that puts me in my own 'bulk' folder. What the ????

In the past, I had applied for a job by email. The HR lady responded but the subject line in her email contained the prefix [SPAM]RE: Job Applicant or whatever

(meaning it was her in her spam folder).
