Facebook - I'm in charge

I have this love hate relationship with facebook right now. I love facebook because of the connections it has allowed me to make. I moved about a great deal as a child and teen. From Oregon to D.C., back to Oregon to Minnesota, back to D.C. and then to Delaware. I never thought that ANYONE would remember me, my name or even CARE to find me. So, for that, facebook I thank you. I also thank you facebook for letting me know what all of my local friends are up to etc. Blah, blah, blah.

However facebook you piss me off in sooooo many ways. Why the fuck do your users, my "friends" insist on using you to BRAG? OK yes every once in a while I will write that I am proud of my kids or that my husband is great...but that is really a shout out to them. Why must your users put such bullshit, shallow crap in their status updates about the fact that they fit into a size 2 jean? Or why must they write about their new Jaguar getting a ding in the door while parked at Walgreens? Look douchebags, I don't give a shit about your jeans or your car. I really don't. My jeans are not a 2 and my car has 140K miles on it. And no I am not jealous of your size 2 or your overpriced car, the truth is I DON'T GIVE A SHIT about such petty, petty, materialistic, self-inflating information. My guess is that the majority of your FB friends don't either.

Those of you who read my status and think you know me (or anyone else) you don't. I CHOOSE what I type there. If you are not related to me, have not spoken to me by phone or in-person in the last decade, you don't know shit...don't make assumptions about me. End of story.

For those of you who don't like what other's have to say, hide them or unfriend them. And for fuck's sake if you unfriend me, hear this now, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. Unfriend me? Go for it, I have 198 others, you are insignificant to me. And if I hide your stupid games from my updates, get over it. To me that shit is stupid...I care about what you have to say, not what you do when there is nothing else in the universe to do. And when I stop caring about what you have to say I just might unfriend you. And if I do, BFD.

For those of you who read into EVERY post or update and think it has to do with you, get over yourself. Most likely it does not. I have nothing to hide, I'll put your name right in there if I am refering to you and your annoying habits or crazy antics. What are you going to do if I use your name? Take my birthday away?

For those of you who use facebook to stalk others...get a life. For those of you who use facebook to create your own high school or daytime drama...get a life. For those of you who try to pull me into aforementioned bullshit...please...get a life.

So I guess facebook I am not really mad at you. I guess I do love you. I suppose my issue is with the douchebag, overly-sensitive, creepy, braggers in my friend list. Hmmmm guess it's time to start deleting.
