REMAIN BLESSED (Is this a passive/aggressive attempt to imply that I’ll go to HELL if I don’t respond?)

Dearest One

My name is Mrs.Wendy Evelyne am 64 years old, I am a dying woman
who have decided to donate what I have to you/churches/ motherless babies/less
privileged/widows.I was diagnosed for cancer for about 2 years ago. I have been
touched by G-d to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you
for good work of G-d. I have asked G-d to forgive me and believe he has because
he is a merciful G-d.

I will be going in for an operation on Monday.I decided to
WILL/donate the sum of $ 4.8m (Four Million Eight hundred thousand dollars) to
you for the good work of G-d, and also to help the motherless and less
privilege and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot
take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives (That have
squandered the funds I gave them for this purpose before) are around me and my
health status also.

I have adjusted my WILL and my lawyer is aware. I wish you all the
best and may the good G-d bless you abundantly, and please use the Funds
judiciously and always extend the good work to others. As soon you get back to
me, I shall give you info on what I need from you then you will contact the
bank and tell them I have willed those properties to you by quoting my personal
file ROUTING and account information and I have also notified the bank that I
am willing that properties to you for a good, effective and prudent work. I
know I don’t know you but I have been directed to do this by G-d.

Thanks and G-d bless.

Regards,

Mrs.Wendy Evelyne

No explanations this time around. I think if you listen through a song or two you’ll get the gist of where I ended up.  You can take a listen to 12 of these on Playlist; some of these weren’t in their library so I’ve supplied the links to what I could find on the net. All are available via the usual music purchasing sites, if you find one that you like.

Also, Voxhaul Broadcast will be in Phoenix on Oct 25^th at Hard Rock.

Where has the year gone?

Time slips and slides right by us.

I’d love a TARDIS.

“Goals are good!” she said.

Push, strive, struggle, endeavor -

To hit those targets.

As usual I went a little off mission -Peppy beats? Check! Dark song topics? Double check!

1. Ambling Amp – Yeasayer

I chose this one because it is a fantastic little life anthem and pretty closely fits my personal views. Perfect for those days where you need a little reminder that this too shall pass.

1. Crystalised – The XX

Bit harder to describe the why on this one without delving into a bigger relationship discussion. You’ll just have to listen.

1. Little Secrets – Passion Pit

You’d hard pressed to find a peppier ear worm; rainbows, scars, lemon juice to rain, it’s all about the transformation.

1. Good ‘Ol Fashion Nightmare – Matt and Kim

This is my stomping, shouting and running amok song because it is kind of about running amok.

1. Dull to Pause – Junior Boys

Every time I hear this song I’m taken back to those early moments of relationships when you robotically go through your day to day life replaying that long and perfect kiss standing in the parking lot at Lux. Well…you get the idea.

1. Alligator – Tegan and Sara

And on the other end of that spectrum we have a break up song that neatly hides it’s topic under a super up-beat track. One of those that will make you laugh once you’re past the point of plotting their demise.

1. Olympic Airways – Foals

I ADORE Foals! They can do no wrong. None! I love the idea of running away to a special sanctuary of your very own. That this specific sanctuary is just a larger cage gives it a special twist.

1. Odessa – Caribou

Another break up song, however, not a typical one; it is more about rediscovering your voice and less about the being done wrong side.

1. The Ghost Inside – Broken Bells

I have no idea what this song is about. “Don’t let the lady finger blow in your hat.” Yeah, no idea. Catchy, though.

1. All is Well – Glint

My favorite out of this entire list; the title speaks for itself.

1. Young Folks – Peter, Bjorn & John

Soooooo sure it is all about acceptance in love, very sweet stuff and makes you feel good too. I promise!

1. A Place in Displacement – South

This one I downloaded on a whim after only hearing a short clip. It’s a good no regrets at all song which is pretty much why it landed on this list.

You can play them all here – http://pl.st/p/22361466379

I recently went through an exercise where friends and coworkers rated my personality strengths and weaknesses. I’m a solid INTP so it wasn’t terrible surprising that the list contained words like: independent, logical, unconventional, shy, jaded, cynical, restless and critical.

My parents are so shockingly different that most people can’t even fathom how they ever ended up married much less how the managed to live together for three years. Even at the basic level – my father leads with logic and my mother is all emotion. What I remember of them together is best defined as contentious. I’d describe my father as calm, controlled, introverted, deliberate and my mother is sensitive, expressive, outgoing and impulsive. My father at his core is a scientist and my mother is an artist. You'd turn to my father if you needed a stabilizing influence and my mother if you wanted to shake things up.

Me? If you haven't guessed by now, I’m certainly my father's child. My strongest personality traits are ones we both share – stoic, autonomous, and thoughtful. On the down side we’re horrible with conflict, detached and distrustful and have a tendency to burn bridges to the ground when we’re done. Where we differ is primarily in self-examination and the desire to be a better person. I used to loathe the comparison and be quick to point out the handful of differences and why they were far more important. As I’ve gotten older though and seen the path of my life go in a different direction than his I’m more appreciative and reflective about our similarities and what that has taught me along the way.

In my small collection of mementos this one is by far the sweetest.  I don’t remember the date, the exact circumstances or even what exactly it was that I felt the very first time I read it. In the grand scheme of things I keep it because it stands on its own merit….

DaVinci would have gladly painted you but no portrait could begin to convey what it is to sit across from you in conversation. Shakespeare would have eagerly celebrated your wit in prose yet no words could fully describe what it is to behold you. And there is not artist for there is no medium that could ever capture the moment of your kiss. And so it is merely me who gets to experience you completely. It is my soul alone whose embers glow fiery red from taking in the full breath of your company. And with that breath my dreaming mind takes sail…I feel I could paint better than the master, write more sweetly than the bard, sing out from mountain tops to let the world share my joy, to let them all know that because you exist you’ve proven that the wildest of dreams can come true. And yet really all I want to do is be next to you now and breath in.

…that and years later reading it still makes me smile.

Dear friend,

How are you today and business in your country?I am Huang,Bank
Manager of bank of Overseas,Taiwan. I would respectfully request
that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect
the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this
mail. I contacted you independently of our investigation and no
one is informed of this communication.

A British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese Solid Minerals
Corporation, Mr.Bowen Atkinson made a numbered time (Fixed)Deposit
of $30,000,000.00 for twelve calendar months and not too long Mr.
Bowen Atkinson died from an airplane crash.The bank immediately
launched an investigation into possible surviving next of kin to
alert about the situation and also to claim his estate. If you are
familiar with private banking affairs,those who patronize our services
usually prefer anonymity,but also some levels of detachment from
conventional processes.In his bio-data form,he listed no next of kin.
In the field of private banking,opening an account with us means no
one will know of its existence, accounts are rarely held under a name;
depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts anonymous

The bank immediately launched an investigation into possible surviving
next of kin to alert about the situation and also to claim his estate.
I alone know of the existence of this deposit as far as Bank Overseas
is concerned, the bank’s management has no single idea of what? the
history or nature of the deposit. They are simply awaiting instructions
to release the deposit to any party that comes forward.I am aware of
the consequences of this proposal. If my offer is of no appeal to you,
delete this message and forget I ever contacted you. If you give me
positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion.
I will always call you and please contact me only through this email
below.My official lines are not secure lines as they are periodically
monitored to assess our level of customer care in line with our Total
Quality Management Policy.

Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a
family man, I have a wife and children. I send you this mail not without
a measure of fear as to what the consequences may be, but I know within
me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches
never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have
learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence.
Please reply to my private Email: mrhuang1001@yahoo.com.tw
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Huang

Considering that my day started with dropping my car off at the dealership, I'd head right back there and pay my bill. If I'm lucky I just might have enough money left over to drown my sorrow with a bottle of wine from Whole Foods.
