my name is luke johnson and i support this video:

so i get this email that really looks like spam except for the extremely weird and personally addressed content:

From: Crystal Cotti crystalcotti@yahoo.com To: lukejohnson33@gmail.com, lukejohnson33@yahoo.com Date: Mar 20, 2006 5:12 PM Subject: Incident with the Mayor of Austin Hi Luke, My name is Crystal Cotti and I'm a reporter at Fox 7 News in Austin. Were you in Austin for South by Southwest this weekend? If so, please call me at 512-785-0500 as soon as you get this. We're trying to figure out why the mayor decided to escort you out with so much force. Thanks for your time. This story is airing at 9pm tonight. Thanks for your help, Crystal Cotti

i can't help but respond with this

Crystal, Gotta be the weirdest or the best spam ever. I was not attending south by southwest this weekend so I can't help. But I'll be looking forward to the story. -Luke

and then the response from crystal:

I found your name on My Space...so sorry to bother. Thanks for the response.

turns out that crystal is actually a reporter for fox 7 news in austin.

so basically when fox 7 news in austin needs to find a quote or a source for a story, it looks like myspace is their first stop. seems as though the local news in austin is just as great as it is in arizona.

sadly i never got a follow up from crystal on the story. i'd love any info anyone has on my namesake and his ongoing feud with the mayor of austin.

wow

once again, i love the internet. love. deep love. it created this in a matter of seconds:

my future is lookin' up

i recently got this email

Dear friend,
I found your picture on one of the websites, can we talk to
each other? I might be coming to your place in few weeks.
This would be a great opportunity to meet each other.
Btw, I am a woman. I am 25. Drop me a line at ivnb@uwriteme.info/navyseals

as i was reading this, i gotta say i was getting more and more excited about meeting this person who saw my picture "on one of the websites." i was even more excited at the concept of having the chance to "talk to each other" rather than just one of us talking while the other says nothing. and then i found out the sender of the email was a woman! holy shit i about lost it! it's really gonna be a great opportunity for us to meet each other when she comes to my place "in few weeks." i'll assume from her optimism and confident stance that she knows where my place is. can't wait!

i don't care if this test has no validity. i'm still fascinated. i've spent most of my life systematically not caring about politics. and it looks like my efforts have made me about as middle of the road as possible.
