Rain falls on the just and the unjust.: September 2003

my design business
groovy music

More random thoughts
Lessons from Halloween
The sin of low expectations
At the crossroads
Friend or foe
The memo I didn't send
The lazy stroke
Blown away
Watching it snow
Bad Karma

milkmayun@yahoo.com Hi there!

I got your email from Jennifer and I just wanted to tell you strait up, I really like 2 FUCK!

and cum together!

Jen

You can get emails like this one, and even more hardcore emails from each of the 100,000 active
married women at Guaranteed Date! They can either email you directly with their desires,
or recommend you to their girlfriends in their exclusive Sex Forums! Since there are way more
women then there are men in the site, you are guaranteed to get laid at Guaranteed Date
So cum and fuck a horny housewife right now, they're all really thirsty for sex!

Who knew it would be so easy? I should call Jennifer up and thank her.

oh wait, I don't know anyone named Jennifer.

Blahhhhhhhhhhhhh

for those who've been wondering why I haven't been posting..... I've been working 7 days a week, in preparation for a demo we have to do for our customer here at work on Wednesday. it sucks. also, I'm sick, and miserable. thanks for your concern! as soon as another interesting thing happens to me, I'll be sure to narrate everything.

in the meanwhile, the South African girl sent me another email. I'll refrain from posting it, as it's even more difficult to follow than the one before, but let me describe: it's a poem, and it makes mention of destiny and something about how we're meant to be together, her heart is sick, etc. I am truly scared.

September 10, 2003 :: Lifetime appreciation for sale in Johannesburg

A guilty habit: from time to time, I browse profiles on BlackVoices and occasionally drop a line. Recently, I wrote a girl in South Africa. Now, I probably should be ashamed of writing her anyway... based on what her profile said:

HEY,i am xxxxx xxxxx.I have dual nationality,my dad is from south Africa and my mum is fron Nigeria.I am a graduate of accounting and i intend coming da USA 2 further my education,dat is coming 4 my second degree in one of da universities in da USA.I work in an IT firm in Nigeria.I wish 2 look 4 honeys and Niggaz dat are funny,romatic,fashionable,intelligent,caring,loving,innovative,kind dat i could chill with when i come over 2 da USA in about a month or two time.Iluv ya all.U can hola me through my email: xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Now, right away I should have known better. That word tipped me off regarding where she's coming from. I guess our media culture has influence even over there! But being foolhardy (and besides that, she's cute), I wrote anyway:

will you be coming to washington, d.c.? we'd love to have you here. can show you the scene, you'd really enjoy it.

She wrote back something which was even more unintelligible than the text on her profile, so I won't bother to repeat it here, especially since I never responded to it. But then I received the following today:

Honey,i got your mail.I will appreciate to be wherever you are honey!!.It was really nice to hear from you
.You are really my kind of love you are
real,serious,intelligent,interesting,amiable and caring.
Honey,I am having serious crises in obtaining a
students visa because of september 11th.attack.Honey,i just came back from an interview with USA Embassy today in respect of my students Visa,Honey,guess what,I was denied Visa i cry!!!
Honey, but a close relation to my family introduced me to a top government
funtionary who works with USA Embassy who after consistent persuation and pleadings, agreed on
assisting me only on one condition.
Honey,he said he was going to collect $3500 for a students
visa to USA and since i started working and decided to
embark on this travel to the USA,i have been able to save about
$2800.I am seriously sourcing for the remaining $700 for
i cant stand loosing this uncommon chance.
Honey,please i am not compelling you to assist,but i am
only pleading with you to assist me with any available
fund.can you be of any financial assistance to me for i
will appreciate you for life.I am really stressed up
financially for now.I really want to join you soon.I love
the way you romanticize me on mails.God bless and infinitely reward any effort made by you towards assisting me in achieving my goals in life.Remain my rolemodel and my object of admiration
4ever Yours,
XXXXX.

And here I thought I was getting away from shameless golddiggerism by looking outside the country. But yes, I got exactly what I deserved.

It's only the beginning

I had to do it.

I've resisted the blogging trend for too long. Too many crazy things happen to me, the public MUST be informed. Plus, my uber-trendy friend GeckoGirl started one, with my help, so I have to start one too, to show her how it's done. Ha!

Plus, somebody has to read and vet the incredibly crazy yet commonplace things that happen to me. I need to know if I am some kind of strange cosmic anomaly, or if life is really like this for EVERYONE, yet no one talks about it.

So here it is, the debut of the rainmayun's blog. Let the rain fall on the just and the unjust alike.
