Oh My Space !

I never use MySpace anymore. Never.

The closest I have been to using it was talking to someone the other day about how we don't use it. Ever.

Today though, in my regular email box I had a friend request from someone on MySpace. It was from a guy named Chris Scott and I actually know a Chris Scott through friends from a former job, but I could not imagine why he would be attempting to friend me. My curiosity got the best of me though and so I read the request and accompanying letter. It was not from the Chris Scott I know, but it is so well written and heartfelt that I just have to share it.

hello

Hi Gorgeous one.How are you doing today ? hope you receive this message and it finds you well. My name is Christopher and am Originally from New Maryland,MD.When I saw your profile I decided to respond with the hope of corresponding. I guess the first thing that came into my mind when I saw your photo was "WOW!!!". You are GORGEOUS!!! . It seems you are that rare women who has just as much (or more) going for herself on the inside as the outside. I would consider it an honor to get to know you. I’m EXTREMELY busy with my construction job in (WEST AFRICA NIGERIA) and wount be back to the state not until the ending of this mouth. so I’m not looking to move too fast or for anything serious at this pint, but if sparks fly then so be it about me…I don’t have much time for or interest in the "traditional singles scene" so I decided to give this a try. Besides, I have a few friends who have had good time in the scene of internet dating so i decided to give it a trial. I find that many women I encounter don't call lately, my business has kept me from getting out much, but in general I don't have a problem meeting women. However, meeting the right woman has been somewhat challenging. I guess I'm seeking the proverbial "entire package"-beauty, brains, pleasant disposition, morals, compassionate heart and ethics. You certainly appear to fit that mold.Nothing speaks my interest more than a woman who has a great deal going for himself, yet carries herself as if she is oblivious to that fact. First and foremost I’m looking for a woman with the potential and desire to become my "best friend" because I believe that is the foundation for a lasting relationship.I’m sorry for the lengthy note, but my hope is to give you an accurate snapshot of who I am, especially since I dont have much about me in my profile. I don't know what else to tell you, but consider this: To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing of yourself. To play your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd, is to risk your loses. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is risking nothing. And people who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, buy nothing. You may avoid suffering and sorrow, but you simply cannot learn if u have a yahoo messenger. u can have a chat with me on yahoo mine screen name is (christopherscott04) or send me an email to my Direct email account for Quick Response (christopherscott04@Yahoo.com) will send you a recent pics of me as soon as i hear back from you Yours faithfully Christopher scott.

Oh my heart. I can't tell you the last time a man has spoken to me with so much heartfelt determination and passion. It doesn't even matter to me that he "wount be back to the state not until the ending of this mouth" as "I’m not looking to move too fast or for anything serious at this pint" either. I would wait forever for the man who thinks I am the "entire package"-beauty, brains, pleasant disposition, morals, compassionate heart and ethics.

Of course what really hooked me was when he identified me as "a woman who has a lot going for himself" and then with such a poetic ending to his note, well, it simply swept me off my feet: "You may avoid suffering and sorrow, but you simply cannot learn if u have a yahoo messenger" Wow. That is deep stuff right there!

I am going to wrap this up so I can write to my beloved, Christopher scott, and try to tell him how madly in love with him I am. I can only hope to match his wit, intimacy and punctuation. Later, I may even pop out and pick up a Western Union money order to send him, just to seal the deal. I don't want him to have to ask. That's the kind of "rare women who has just as much (or more) going for herself on the inside as the outside." that I am.

Yours sarcastically,
XOXO
