Comments . . .Incredible

I was wanting to write a new blog in here, but decided that it would just be flat out wrong if I posted anything other than the responses I've gotten back from my e-mail I sent out to my Musicology class. These are actual responses. . .

"Best mass email of the semester"

"Fuck you. You have no right saying shit to anyone. If you done wanna send anyone notes, that is completely up to you. Personally I've never asked but some ppl truly lost their shit. Shit my dog ate mine. No joke. Luckily I have friends in the class which I consider myself very lucky to have. So to the rest who get drunk and have a good time, good for them. Obviously you have nothing better to do on a Saturday night but send a rude-ass mass email to the class. You are just a hater.

Hate on playa, hate on"

"That was amazing. Thanks for saying what the rest of us were thinking!"

"You are the man. I have been wanting to send this exact email since freshman year. Bravo."

"I have no clue who you are but that was quite possibly the greatest email I have ever read. Seriously. Round of applause to you! Thanks!"

"Thanks for filling my email with more useless space. Email the people who sent the messages, not everybody in the class. There are always gonna be slackers. Live with it."

"kudos to you"

"Amen brother. Thank you for being the only one to speak up. What a bunch of lazy ass motherfuckers they are!"

"Much Applause"

"Thank you for the message. I have grown quite tired of receiving stupid e-mails for notes, especially for the concerts that the people supposedly went to. You are a gentleman and a scholar."

THIS NEXT ONE HAS TO BE MY FAVORITE

"now lets get really "REAL" "BRO" ur a wasted human for taking the god damn time to set and type that message, what a fucking d bag. we ALL know this class is a fucking joke and no one ever goes, stop bitching about it just ignore the emails and dont set and act like u have not dont it, you stupid fuck"

"Man, I just want you to know that you're my hero for sending this e-mail out. I wanted to say the exact same thing but didn't have the balls to send it out. Very nice!"

"Or you could shut up, and quit flooding my inbox with your opinion. I go to class, take the notes, and I just ignore the retards. I might give a shit about what you think. You're no different than them, just another annoying person no not pay attention to. Now quit whining and don't spam us."

"Thank you for sending this message!! I almost did something similar a few weeks ago, but I didn't....hesitated like a numnutz. Man those e-mails drove me up a wall, but I usually just laughed instead!! Hope you are doing well in the class! And good luck on Tuesday if you're re-taking any quizzes."

"Just wanted to write and say very well put! I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only one in class absolutely annoyed by the constant bull shit mass E-Mails I would get 10 times a week as the semister drew to a close. Nicely Done!"

"hahaha couldn't have said it any better, thank you."

"well put.. this really livened up my night. thanks for having the balls to say it"

THIS NEXT ONE MAY ALSO BE MY FAVORITE, HE QUOTES SHAKESPEARE IN THE END . . .BRILLIANT

"If we could all have as big a cojones as you, I appreciate your honesty, but let’s be realistic here. You yourself come across as having a Scooby-Doo lunch box. Where and when is it your place to judge and lecture your fellow students on the etiquette and appropriate behavior of a class, the only reason I feel it is necessary to write you this email is because you felt the need to address the entire class and waste my time worse than anyone asking to forward some simple notes. This is a 125 course, not a doctoral degree class and as such my personal approach was that this was to be an enjoyable, leisurely, and educational class that everyone could enjoy and grow their musical interest from. You see giving out notes as a source of weakness, but I find the weaker person to be the one who begrudges people over some simple e-mails. If they bother you so much perhaps you should simply delete them. I suppose to some degree I have come down to your level by responding to your e-mail, but when you open yourself up to criticize the entire class, I believe it warrants a response. Rather than tooting your own horn, you should take a lesson in humility and realize that the unexpected can happen in life and if forwarding some notes can bring some closure to a turbulent time, those few moments can mean a world of difference. As a person who will ultimately rely upon the generosity of their peers at some point in your educational career, I hope you realize the hypocrisy you have opened yourself up to. I am not claiming or presenting myself as the perfect student, but I am the recipient of your attacks and I am addressing those attacks. So in closing I ask you to seek knowledge in the words of William Shakespeare, "In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility." I wish you the best of luck in your academic career and future crusades."

"Thank God"

"Ha I do agree, might as well be honest and say let me get some notes I didnt go, and since you seem to be the honest type, you have any extra credit concerts you went to that I can get? Thanks"

"fuck yea man... this college shit is amazing..."

Well, I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did. Until next time . . .
