INSPIRATIONAL SPAM

hi, If you want to act, you have to devote yourself to it. Send out letters and photos every day, work all the hours under the sun, whatever it takes. If you’re not determined, you won’t get anywhere.

Thanks bud, er, vod.  I'm trying my best.  Things are slowly but surely improving.  At points it feels like a one step forward and two steps back kind of a thing, but sometimes I've been having the 5 steps forward kind of days.

POETIC SPAM

I received the following "comment" from "divot tool cigar holder" (email address: jenna@jameson.com) which may be the most doleful, yet pensive--even poetic--piece of spam I've ever received.  Read:

I can’t be bothered with anything lately. My mind is like a fog. I’ve just been hanging out not getting anything done. I’ve more or less been doing nothing.

Cheer up, my spammer friend.  When in the nadir of one's existence, I find it best to occupy oneself with stimulating activities: Drink! Gym! Volunteer!
