My friend Jocelyn started a new blog called Slightly Opinionated check it out. One day she's gonna be President but until then I get to give her shit for being a nerdy know it all from the barrio. Hmmm...now that I think about it, an idea is coming to mind. Each day Joce, myself and another pal named Ryan have an email thread while we are at work. Well Ry Ry doesn't always hold up his end of the thread so we posted the following ad on CL, that was crazy. Hmm...guess I'll post it here and see what comes of it. ;-) peace
From Jocelyn's MySpace:
My friend and I recently posted a CL ad for an e-mail buddy. It is funny. Allow me to entertain you. Mind you, we are dead serious.
Do you get bored at work? Do you feel that you are surrounded by idiots and crave a connection to the outside world? Then we are looking for you. My friend and I are looking for a third member to join our e-mail thread. We had a third member previously, but he was recently let go from his job and is currently alternating between sleeping, partying and hoing it up with his boyfriend. He is slacking terribly and not holding up his end of the convo. My friend and I worked together previously and have known each other for approx. 6 years. He is male and I am female. We both like men. We are both minorities, but of different ethnicities. The previous member was a majority. He also liked men, so he was slightly a minority (seeing as he can hide his fascination with men and thereby pass as a hetero he isn't allowed to be a card-carrying minority. Then again the card entitles you to a beating by the LAPD, who wants that.). He joined the group with PC rhetoric, we cured him of that and allowed him to "see color", say whatever the hell he wanted and challenge people on their assumptions. He spent all that money on a science degree from a small liberal arts college, but we are the ones that truly educated him. If he wasn't laid out somewhere on market street, covered in lube and confetti he would see this in his inbox and agree with me. On the thread we discuss hot boys, our jobs, the future, past indiscretions, politics, relationships, racial issues, etc. We are socially conscious, but not PC and don't want anyone who is. You can take that bleeding heart liberal crap elsewhere. We send each other news stories that we find interesting. We rant, rave, vent and theorize over the course of the day. We talk a lot of smack. The thread typically runs from 8:30-5 and depending how the day/workload goes a little later. Frequently, we find ourselves laughing out loud and then trying to pretend that the latest e-mail is work related.
If this sounds like a thread you would like to join please e-mail me. Tell me a little about yourself, a dirty joke, your favorite event or just something interesting.
