I’m not the only BMoA (Big Man of Astoria) traveling around and getting into funny adventures around the world. Our good friend Rossi recently made himself a legend in Cape Town and a series of emails tells the tale better than I ever could.

Yeah I’m in South Africa, I have […]
Yeah, I give relationship advice sometimes. Tonight I gave some to an old friend from NY, a girl that I have never been in a relationship with, but who I know very, very well. When I was writing it, I realized that I could take out a few names and it would be good advice […]
A dear old friend of mine has an adorable 5 year old nephew in kindergarten in New Jersey. She invited me to participate in a little event the school has organized to celebrate the kids’ 100th day in school. They have invited 100 friends to write emails from different parts of the world. I was […]
The following thread of emails is currently being sent around to all my Dubai agency friends. It’s an exchange between a job applicant and the potential employer (who happens to be my friend.) I have reformatted it and removed some names and email addresses. I ordered it chronologically because reading threads from the bottom up […]
I kind of stopped collecting my “great emails” for a while. Mostly because I posted all the good ones. I have something new, but it is just a short response to something I sent. Basically, the email I sent is too explicit for this website. But the response is classic. I won’t tell you who […]
HER: “hi - everything ok? haven’t heard from you in a while… i’m going to the post office tomorrow to send your camera disk - anything from the western world you would like popped in the envelope?”
ME: “No darlin, I don’t need anything from the western world other than freedom of speech and a blowjob. […]
Wow, yet another great email sent to me TODAY, if you can believe it. A good friend of mine from NY moved to Costa Rica with her boyfriend last year. I never fully understood the details of their living situation. Recently we started emailing again, and in my curiosity, I asked many questions. To my […]
I got this email from a dear friend today who I’ll be seeing on my upcoming trip to Barcelona. We used to work together, now we just flirt via email. This was a part of her response to one of my long, rambling emails that included some concern over the insanity in Lebanon right now… […]
My friend Slob and I worked on a HUGE freelance CD-Rom project back in the day when CD-Roms were still important. A guy who worked for me at my fulltime job got us the job. The plan was that the 3 of us would share the responsibility and the money, which was substantial. It turned […]
A girl I knew in NY moved to California. We’ll call her Susan. I dated a friend of hers for a while. Somehow while in CA, we started emailing. It was very flirty and I started to really like her eventually. But long distance never works, so we never wound up together. We have long […]
I wrote this email on the afternoon of September 11th, 2001. To this day, I still can’t believe how worried I was about work-related stuff with everything else that was going on around me. This was to the Chief Creative Officer of the company, Organic, I was working for at the time. I was a […]
I had a roommate one time that turned out to be a criminal. We’ll call him “Bob” for the purposes of this post. It’s a long story. Maybe I’ll write a book some time. Here’s an email I wrote after he skipped town and the shit hit the fan.
Bob,
You HAVE to sort your shit out […]
