Pathetic GMail Begging

I rarely do this. I’m usually not the type of person who asks for things. But, this is different. I know you tend to covet things that are unattainable, but this will eventually be easy as pie to get. It’s just that I want it RIGHT NOW. I can’t even really articulate why I can’t wait. Mostly it has to do with frustrations I have with my (yes, I know, free) yahoo e-mail account. But, other than that, I just plain want one.

I want a gmail account.

The number of posts I’ve read on other blogs over the past 3 weeks saying this exact same thing are astronomical. Everyone wants one. I eventually turn dark green with envy when I later read about these same people getting one. Ugh.

I’m not unique. I’m not special. There is really no reason why I deserve a gmail account more than any other guy out there. But, if you or someone you know is an employee of google, please consider giving me a gmail account. I will be eternally grateful.

I’ve been thinking of what I could offer in return. I know that right now I could go bid on the ones for sale on eBay. Well, I’m not paying for a gmail account. That’s just pathetic.

So, since I’m not willing to offer money for an account, I’m offering the only thing that I think somebody out there might possibly want. Music. I play drums in a band called Magnapop. Maybe you’re a fan. If you are and you happen to work for Google, than I think this could be a match made in heaven.

Magnapop will be recording a new album in May. So, here’s my proposal. I can offer you an advance copy of the album as soon as we are done mixing it. See any parallels here? I do.

So, that’s my offer. A chance to get something before anyone else does. Kind of like a gmail account. So, just send your gmail invite to tim at this web site dot com and I’ll send you a copy of the new Magnapop album, hot off the mixing board.

Oh yeah, this offer also stands for anyone who can get me some google IPO stock. A guy can dream, can’t he?
