Winning Notification
|
Look what I got in my email box today. I knew today was going to be a good day: ” ROYAL FOUNDATION INC. Ref no: sasl/43353214/05 To begin your claim, please contact: Congratulations for being a part of our promotions program. Thats right, Dear Reader, yours truly has just won the Lottery, to the tune of 32.5 Million Dollars!!! Its been a long time coming, but I knew a change would come. The funny thing is I don’t even remember purchasing a lottery ticket; in fact since turning 18 I have made it a point to never purchase lottery tickets because they were a waste of time and money. Isn’t that ironic? Here I was the biggest critic of the lottery system, and now I am sailing into early retirement after winning a random lottery via email! God Bless the Internet! Naturally, I will most likely not be posting on this blog as often as I will be busy resting on sunny beaches with cocktails in both hands. I have appreciated all of your participation in my entries here on this blog, and I wish you well. Who knows, maybe some day you too will receive that lucky email in your “Bulk Email” folder, incorrectly filtered by your Spam Guard, and you can join me in the Bahamas. I wish you luck in continuing your rat race lives and hopefully when you are reflecting on your servitude to the time-clock you will fondly remember your Moreno, and how I too was once a cog in the machine going nowhere. So like I said, I wish you all well. Please don’t email me asking me to share my winnings with you. I earned this money fair and square. Please don’t ask me to give you money for an operation for your dear dying mother…I got a mother too and her servants aren’t going to pay themselves! I got responsibilities now, I make the calls. Who knows, maybe after years of growing bored with my millions I might try to run for political office, just so i can continue pulling the strings! Man I can’t wait to get started. Sayonara, suckers!! |

[Philanthropy] Stay Human
I hesitantly decided to become involved in philanthropy because I believe that civil society has an important role to play in bringing about a more sustainable, just, and well governed 21st century society. Businesses and governments have their fundamental roles
