Facebook is NOT your friend.

Facebook.  I resisted it for so long as I grew tired of MySpace quickly.  I decided to start a blog (Divainthedesert).  I never claimed to be a writer, still don't but it held my interest for several years.  I was invested in my blog, I wrote about my life, the funny things about parenting, blasted assholes that wronged me (while using fake names to protect the not-so-innocent), hyped up events, causes and people that I admired and to be honest, it was quite therapeutic for me.

Stupid Facebook.  I had numerous friends that were jumping up my ass to join.  I thought that it was MySpace Generation II and didn't want to deal with all of the upkeep.  Finally, in fall of 2008 I got sucked in to the CULT known as Facebook.

For a few years, it was fun to post pics of my Kidlet, daily bullshit and keep up with my friends.  Then the random friend invites followed and before I knew it, I had 1000+ friends.  I only knew about 427 of them but what did I care?  I never shared my personal information, kept my child as "The Kidlet" and tried not to cuss or offend.

It was great up until August of 2012.  I fell into a relationship where every person in his office was basically stalking my FB page.  He would walk in on Monday morning and would get bombarded with questions on my posts/quotes/pics/etc.  If you know me or have been my "FrIenD" on FB you should know that I am the most sarcastic person in the world and will "jab" but truly mean no harm.

Apparently when your profile is being stalked, people read way the fuck too much into anything that you post.  Well, I had a following that led into the personal life of "He/Him".  My profile became the new Perez Hilton of Southlake, Texas.  While flattered, I was annoyed beyond belief that these people were so interested in my life and what I was doing, seeing, eating, staring at, sitting on, etc.

Today ...  I have no FB page.  I actually do but it has been deactivated because my posts have been taken out of context.  My photos have been forwarded to local skanks, I mean other socially impaired humans attempting to cause drama for myself and "He/Him".

This has become a massive cluster-fuck in my life and to be honest, I am sick and tired of it.  So, I quit.  I'm ringing the bell as if I were in SEALS training.  My advice to you .... keep your friends list on Facebook tight.  Know these people in real life, if you don't ... don't accept their request.  There are some kids/bullies that are disguising themselves as adults.  They ARE out there and because they are either bitter, jealous, old, infested with herpes or recently released from prison, they are looking to tear others down.

Become RIP-worthy!  Protect yourself.
