It Appears Facebook Is The Number One Hot Spot When It Comes To Internet Social Network. It's A Place Where People Can Communicate, Find New Friends And Share Special Photo's Of Your Family Or Everyday Activity's. I Do More Reading Than Anything Else. I Do Post To Others And Pass On A Funny Photo I Find That Others Have Posted On Their Wall.
I Would Consider Myself More Of A Browser Than Anything Else. There Are Times When I Make A Comment To What Someone Has Posted Or Simply Hit The Like Button To Show I Support Or Agree To What They Say.
Actually Facebook Is No Different Than A Bunch Of People Who Show Their True Character In The Way They Feel About Others,Issues, And Opinions. Most Who Read This Blog Pretty Much Are Aware Of Facebook And What It Offers To Their Members.
Recently Facebook Is Making Changes To Their Web Page. Their New Design Is Confusing And Very Difficult To Navigate. I Guess I Come From The Old School When They Say Why Fix It When It's Not Broke. Thankfully They Haven't Reached My Page But It's A Matter Of Time Though. For Those Who Are On My Friends List That Have Had Their Pages Changed, I Go There Peoridically To Try To Make Sense Of It All. I Know It's A Matter Of Time Before Mine Gets Changed And There Is Nothing I Can Do About It. Facebook Can Do Whatever They Want Because They Own The Site. Either Get Use To It Or Get Off. Simple As That.
A Few Weeks Ago I Found Myself Getting In The Middle Of Two Brothers Exchanging Unkind Words To Each Other. Since I Had Both Brothers As Friends Their Unfriendly Exchange Came Across My Wall. I am Particular To What I Read On My Facebook Page. Yes Certainly I Am No Stranger When It Comes To Vulgar Words As Long As I Am The One Who Is Using Them. Remember I Was A Sailor And I Have Used A Few Of Those Words Over The Years. Sorry To Disappoint Those Who All This Time Thought I Was A Saint.
Anyway I Simply Asked Them If They Could Settle Their Differences Off Of Facebook. I Really Didn't Feel It Was A Rude Request. The Bottom Line Was I Was Deleted By One Of Those Brothers For Making The Request And The Other Brother Never Responded To It. I Took His Silence As A Gesture Of If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say Don't Say Anything At All. Meaning He Would Have Most Likely Told Me To Mind My Own Business In Which He Would Be Right. However I Have Control Over What Comes Across My Page And I Plan To Exercise That Right.
So After That Situation I Decided Facebook Is No Longer Enjoyable. I Then Deleted Everyone On My Facebook Page Including My Mother To Prove To Everyone I Show No Favoritism. My Next Plan Of Action Was To Visit My Friends On Their Page To Keep Up With What's Going On In Their Lives. Wrong! Once I Deleted Them From My Friends List I No Longer Could See Their Page Due To Their Privacy Settings. Now I Have No Facebook In My Life At All. How In The World Could A Social Network Have So Much Control Over Someone's Life Is Beyond Me.
I Find It Refreshing To Reminesce With People About The Good Old Days.
There Are Good Things And Bad Things In Everything In Life. You Either Accept Them Or You Don't. One Time I Was Deleted Simply Because I Was A Friend Of A Friend And Since That Friend No Longer Was A Part Of Their Life I Too Was Deleted. That's Ok Because It's Only Facebook And People Can Choose Whom Ever They Wish To Be Friend With. However A Month Later That Person Who Deleted Me Wanted Me Back As A Friend. I Declined The Offer And Apparently I Offended This Person. Oh Well Life Goes On. If Somebody Get's Ticked Off About A Decision And Says I Will Just Delete My Account Because It's No Longer Enjoyable. That's Ok Too But Don't Come Back On And Expect Me To Be Your Friend Again. Life Is Not Like Childhood Games. All I Can Say Is GROW UP!
I Appreciate My Old Friends Taking Me Back Considering The Circumstances After I Explained Them. However, They Didn't Have To. If You Get Mad And Announce To The World I Am No Longer Going To Be On Facebook I Will Simply Say That Is Your Choice. Everybody Knows What They Want In Their Life. Life Has So Much To Offer And Facebook Is Only One Of Them. There Is No Way I Would Ever Leave And Expect My Friends To Welcome Me Back. I'm Not Into The Popularity Thing And I Simply Think Those Who Are On Facebook Would Automatically Welcome Me Back No Matter What. I Don't Want To Be Popular On Any Level. I Just Want To Enjoy Life And What It Has To Offer Me.
I'm Not Into Hurting Anyone For Any Reason. I Simply Feel That If One Day You Decide You No Longer Want Something Like Facebook In Your Life I Say More Power To You. However Please Don't Come Back Later And Tell Me You Changed Your Mind. If It Only Happens Once Like Me, Then There Are Special Circumstance That Would Allow You To Continue To Allow Me On Your Facebook Friends List. It Would Be Too Much To Expect To Be Accepted For The Second Time Only Because They Changed My Mind.
Now Keep In Mind This Is Only Facebook. There Was Life Before Facebook And There Will Be Life Afterwards. It Should Be No Big Deal. A Relationship Can Continue Without Facebook.
I Have Decided Not To Have Certain Friends And Family On My Friends List. This Is My Choice. If Someone Is Hurt By This I Consider It Childish.
So IF You Reach A Point In Your Life That People On Facebook Can Be A Pain In Your Butt, I Simply Suggest You Walk Away From It. Please Don't Announce To All You Are Done With Facebook But Return A Few Days Later And Expect Everything To Be The Same.
To Me Everybody Is On The Same Level With Me On Facebook. If I Feel You And I Are Unable To Interact On Facebook How Can We Off Of Facebook? So All In All Enjoy Your Facebook Experience And Everything It Has To Offer You. Please Don't Abuse It By Gossiping About Others Because To Me That Is A Complete Turnoff. I Love Positive Things As Well As Inspirational Things About People On Facebook.
If It Reaches A Point I No Longer care About Facebook I Will No Longer Participate In It. It's Simply A Tool To Interact With others That May Be Far Away. It's A Good Thing As Long As You Keep Things Positive.
