Just the other day, I received an e-mail that really got my attention. I laughed a lot but then again, I think it was more of a motivational message more than anything. But essentially, I was presented with a certificate and seal for GOYFA.
If you guys are wondering what in the hell GOYFA stands for or if you guys are congratulating me on receiving this award – don’t.
I received this award not as a good thing (even though it was hilarious) but I received this award simply due to the fact that I “demonstrated the proper skill and devotion that it takes to be a true fat ass.”
Yes, you read correctly. “A true fat ass.”
And if you haven’t guessed it by now, GOYFA actually stands for “Get Off Your Fat Ass!”
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not fat or anything but I received this certificate simply because I didn’t manage to stay on my goal of $5,000/month for January. Of course, the reason is simply the fact that I openly admitted that I was lazy and I procrastinate a little more than I should.
I’m not exactly sure who actually sent me this certificate because it was addressed from “Hugh Jass.” And for those you guys that think that’s a real name, just say that name three more times and you’ll get that it’s a fake one.
Again, hilarious but more towards motivation to “get off my fat ass” and work towards my goal instead of being lazy.
Below is the attachment of the certificate so you guys can take a look and laugh with me.
All I know is – don’t be like me when it comes to being lazy and procrastinating because who knows, you’ll end up getting certified as a GOYFA!
Oh, also, I’d like to know who sent this to me. I really laughed my ass off on this one.
I hope I was not the only one fully expecting this to be about receiving an award for having a great web design or acheiving some kind of goal.
I’ve only been here a couple of times but I’ll certianly bookmark your blog for regular visits.

I think you should be proud mate
You have a certificate of “something” and other people don’t have any kind of certificate. It is better to have something than have nothing at all.
I envy you.

Im sure if it was a real reward all of us would receive at some point or another. We just have to take it as a way for us to learn from it and do better the next month
Recieving things like this actually shows you how popular you’re getting…however, I’ll personally pass on this one.
