Trash spam

I’ve taken some time over the past few days to unsubscribe from every piece of email spam I have somehow gotten myself blessed with recently. I highly recommend this exercise to everyone. I feel so free! No longer must I delete 500 annoying emails a day while accidentally overlooking the 1 or 2 that may be of interest to me. Just because I bought something off a registry once certainly does not mean I have any interest in receiving an email a day from Williams-Sonoma or Crate and Barrel. Nor do I have any use for information about Viking river cruises or Gevalia coffee. And I definitely have no idea how I ended up on a golf digest, christian singles, or republican committee (with emails addressed to my dad or brother... Dear Richard, or Dear Andrew) mailing list. It’s because of this and my erratic mass deleting that I missed an alert for an exclusive Taylor Swift concert pre-sale and now the shows are sold out. I blame this on the GOP...
