the most beautiful spam

A long time ago I got some spam. I've lost the original message -- so easy to accidentally delete. But I've never forgotten it.

Fill her life with splendor.

The contrast between what they were going for and what it ends up sounding like to me is my favorite part, and what makes it so lyrical to me. The divine out of the mundane/smutty.

I've always thought of it as kind of a male/female romantic thought also, as in, isn't that what every woman wants a man to want to do for her. And then just today, years later, I was thinking about being more artistic and what would I want to paint and when would I know it would good and that would be when I found it beautiful, and then I realized, I'm supposed to fill my life with splendor.

Fill her life with splendor.
