Salve, Amicus !!!
That should translate to Ahoy, Matey. Salve means hello or greetings in Latin. Amicus actually means friend, but I didn’t want to search ‘Mate in Latin’ (he he) on Google. It gives a bad impression of me to NSA, which I am sure gets my emails, like everything on the internet. But because this email is supposed to reach you, I’ll write how I usually do.
Somewhere in a book of quotes I read the following quote : Critics are often failed artists. But they didn’t mention whose quote it was. I read this like around a year ago. And then it slipped out of my mind. But it did give me a push I needed to do creative stuff and brag about it. I criticize a lot of stuff. And I won’t change that. Last week I found the source of this quote : T.S. Eliot. I’ve barely read works by Eliot. All I know is that he was a critic who called Shakespeare’s Hamlet an artistic failure. That’s his opinion. He was a critic and I’d say a good artist too. That’s my opinion.So to people who give critics a bad rap: Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Enough serious stuff. I’m not that good at writing serious stuff. I’m still trying to find my mojo when it comes to being creative. Again, I’m a genius so I’ll figure it out someday. As of now, I’m creating my own language. It’s called EmPerrish. Trust me, creating a language is not easy. Also, trust me when I say never trust anyone who uses the phrase ‘Trust me’ often. EmPerrish is the kind of language that heavily borrows from Latin. Like every other language on earth. And possibly in the Multiverse. The first PDF about EmPerrish shall be attached to Weekly Email Blast #5. I hope you’re excited.
This is the last paragraph of this email. Don’t be surprised at the short length. The next Email blast will be Sam’s Sixteenth Birthday Email Blast. It will reach your inbox this Tuesday, the 21st of April 2015, my sixteenth birthday, before Weekly Email Blast #5. ‘Tis, mate was Weekly Email Blast, Email 4. Happy Holidays !!!!
