Facebook Love Part 2

It's really ridiculous how much relationships rely on Facebook. It seems that as soon as a person enters into a relationship with another person, him/her must put it on Facebook immediately.  It doesn't matter if it's only been official for 5 seconds, the world of Facebook must be informed! I mean, who would want to wait it out for a couple weeks to see if it's a thing that's really going to last? It could save you the embarrassment of having to change your status back to single the very next day. Wouldn't you want to tell your family and your friends about it first so they don't have to find out on Facebook? It would save you a lot of "Why didn't you tell me?!?"s from everyone that you know!

Once the relationship has become official, it seems that Facebook is essential to keeping the relationship alive. Once that status changes from "single" to "Jamel Ifuckedyourmamaandyourgirllastnight Williams is in a relationship with Latoya Msbootybooty Jones," everything that happens on Facebook is crucial. First off, it seems that you have to like and comment on every post and status update and activity that the other party has on their wall. I still haven't figured out why. You don't have to pretend that you like all of the same things and have everything in common. I hope that one wouldn't be offended if their partner didn't like their post. If they are one of these people then they're not worth being with in the first place.

The second part is to all you girls out there (and don't act like you dont' do it either). You're looking at your boyfriend's page and you see that he liked some girls picture. Then you're thinking "WHO is this ho?!" Well now you have to see what she looks like so naturally you click on the picture. "Oh hell NO! He will NOT be talking to that Bitch!" Then you proceed to text your boyfriend and tell him he better unlike that picture, delete her off of Facebook and block her. This, ladies, is a very unattractive trait to have. You have got to have some confidence and you've got to learn to trust your man. Whether you'd like to think so or not, not every man is a dirty scumbag.

Another thing that I just can't even begin to comprehend: Why is your Facebook birthday so damn important? You have 3,000 friends (most of them you probably don't even know and have never talked to in your life) and every single one of them says "Happy Birthday!" on your wall, but the only thing that you can think about is the fact that your boyfriend didn't post it. Never mind the fancy dinner, the necklace, and the four dozen roses that he bought you as well as a spring break trip to fucking Disney World. None of that matters because he couldn't take two seconds to say "Happy Birthday" on Facebook

This part is for all of you guys out there, but first things first. Make sure that your profile picture is not of you and your ex-girlfriend or that girl you took home from the club two weekends ago (even though you probably wouldn't care enough about her to even put her in your profile pic, but I'm just covering the bases). DO NOT add all of those girls that have all of the naked pictures and tag you in all of them right in between the legs. Don't go around liking every girls pictures. I would also go ahead and delete any pictures of yourself where you're making out with or all over another girl. I don't know why, but for some reason Facebook is really important to your girl so just try to make her happy and don't do anything stupid.

A Touchy Subject

Okay maybe it's just me, but I'm not a big fan of PDA. I'm fine with a little kiss or a hug or whatever, but there is no reason why two people have to be making out and feeling each other up in the middle of a crowded public area. NO ONE needs to see it. NO ONE wants to see it. Save that shit for the bedroom. That's why you have one: for intimate PRIVATE activities. If I can see into your mouth and down your throat then you have clearly gone too far! Have consideration for other people and JUST STOP. But, as for some of you people you don't even need to worry about what I'm saying because you can't get a date in the first place.

Are you really happy?

Now I know that some people will probably not appreciate me bringing this up, but once again this is just how I feel. You don't have to like it because I don't care. I've known a lot of people within the last couple of years that have found themselves in a situation in which they were impregnated at a very young age. I'm not here to make fun of these people or say that they're stupid or a slut or what have you. I'm just simply curious, as are a lot of other people, as to why you let this happen to yourself. Of course I know that accidents happen and I know that it's not always your fault. But some of you out there can look back and say that you're not surprised because you didn't use birth control or you hated using condoms because it felt weird, and now you're living with the consequences.

Do you regret your decisions? Are you happy with the way things turned out? I bet that pretty much all of you would say that you're happy even when you're not. I know that a lot of you had plans for yourselves. Some of you wanted to go to college and be able to party in your younger years, start a career or a business or travel before you settled down. I call it poor planning or just plain carelessness.

Some of you have done the right thing because you manned up and took responsibility for the child that you helped create and I applaud you for that. That takes a lot of courage. Most of you say that you're happy, but are you really? I don't think that some of you are. I think that deep down inside you're miserable because of one crazy night. I don't blame you and I'm not saying that you don't love your child. I'm simply making a point. It's never healthy to pretend your happy when you're clearly not.

Moving On

I know it's hard but you must move on.  It's the only thing you can do.  I know it hurts and you're crying but hear this: All emotional pain last 12 minutes; everything after that is self inflicted.  What I'm saying is that you're only hurting yourself.  You're causing the crying and sleepless nights by holding on.  Let go and get a life!  Leave them alone for a long time so they can move on too.  Then, maybe one day you'll be friends.  It can happen.  I'm friends with everyone I've ever dated, so take my advice.  It works...I know all!!  Hang out with your friends and have fun.  Maybe you'll find someone new soon enough.  That'll make it that much easier.  And, not only will you feel better about yourself, but you'll be happy.  I swear it!!

Fussing and Fighting

What is it with these couples that just fuss and fight all the time??  It seems like you're never happy with each other and you're always complaining about the other.  They're always doing something that you don't like or getting mad at you for no reason.  If you're always mad at each other then why would you stay together.  Most people respond with "Love."  Well how can you have time to love a person if all you're ever doing is arguing and yelling at them??  Especially if things are drawn to violence, then it's definitely not worth it.  If you really love them that much then try not to fight all the time.  Figure out the problem before you start bashing each other across the head with lamps and televisions.  I'm not saying it will happen but it might (and you'd really love them after that right??).  Solve the problem by either working it out or breaking up because all that whining to your friends all the time is annoying.

Get over it!!

Calling all you persistent people out there:  GET OVER IT!!  Now I know that you "love them with all your heart," and you can stay that way for the rest of your life if you must.  I'm just saying that you need to move on (especially if they have).  Whining, griping, and complaining to the person that has just dumped you is not going to and never will work.  All you're going to do is annoy the living piss out of them until they get so sick of you that they explode all over you.  And when they do you will be left crying again and you will wonder why they were "so mean" to you.  I say, you brought it upon yourself.  You may say, "Well they're being a jerk and ignoring my calls and texts," but let me tell you that there is a reason for it.  Again: I know from experience.

You will look even more pathetic if you keep on bothering them after they have a new boyfriend/girlfriend.  They have someone new and you don't, so how do you look?  Exactly!  Move on and find someone else because they have and: IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!  If you persist even after they have someone else then you're likely to start some drama.  Maybe you do want to ruin any and all relationships they try to start.  Maybe that's your motive, but it shouldn't be.  No one, I repeat NO ONE likes a person who starts drama.  It's irritating and people will hate you for it.  (I know a few of these people myself)  Trying to start fights and things will not make you any less pathetic or them want you any more.  That's just not how it works.

You will make the situation worse by trying to "talk to them about something," especially after them (and all their friends) tell you to go away and stop trying.  They don't want to get back together with you, you need to understand that.  They're going to continue to ignore you.  I promise.  You should listen the first time and quit making yourself look like a fool.  If their done with you, then they're done with you and nothing you say is going to change their mind.  I promise.  Been there, done that.  But you say, "I can't live without them and they're the love of my life," blah blah snore.  I'm most positive you are one of those people who will find someone else in a couple months who's "the love of your life."  Then you'll forget all about the person you're stuck on at the moment.  Trust me.

"Facebook Love"

Okay, people, listen up!  Posting your relationship problems all over Facebook is not acceptable.  Save the drama for ya moma!  I can't tell you how many times everyday i see somebody fussing out their boyfriend/girlfriend on Facebook.  Why do you put all that crap out there for everybody to see?  Nobody cares!!  It's especially annoying when you see someone constantly posting "I love you" all over somebody's wall.  If you only do it sometimes it's a different story.  Especially referring to the last post i made about "love."  Besides: wouldn't you rather tell that person that you love them yourself?  A Facebook "ily" is so impersonal and means absolutely nothing.  It's so lame (honestly).

Another thing.  "WHY HAVEN'T YOU CHANGED YOUR RELATIONSHIP STATUS???"  People get mad over that stuff!  Why does it matter so much about that?  Just because it don't say that they're "in a relationship" with you don't mean they care about you any less.  That should not be a priority.  (I'm just saying)  Get over it!  It's really hilarious to see someone go from "single" to "in a relationship" to "single" to "in a relationship" to "single" to "engaged" to "married" to "single" to "to engaged" to "single".........well you get the point, all in a week.  What the heck is going on there though?  That's a lot of people to be with (I'm just saying), and you must have really loved at least three of them right?? haha you people kill me!

One thing I feel is quite gross and disgusting are the profile pictures of the two people making out.  It's not cute and no one wants to see it.  You can keep all those intimate moments to yourself before your grandma on Facebook has a heart attack seeing a picture of you acting "inappropriate."  It's even worse when it's from just the angle where you can see the tongues....NASTY!!  You should be reported!

Isn't it so cute how some people always put the initials of the person they're with at the end of every status?  Not really.  It's obsessive and weird (especially if you started dating yesterday).  Yes, we get it.  You're dating whatever-the-heck-his-name-is and that's nice.  You don't have to remind me on the 50 statuses you post everyday.  Maybe you don't realize but nobody has to know (or really cares) every time you take a step by the way (I'm just saying).  Facebook is for keeping up with your friends and family, not stalking them or complaining to everybody about your relationship.  Keep it to yourself!!  It's really no one else's business and I definitely didn't need to know.

My recent findings

I've been noticing something recently and it bothers me.  All these little high school kids so quick to fall in love with everybody they date.  It's a complete obsession that's ridiculous.  I've seen one girl in particular who dated a guy for like a week, was engaged for a few weeks, and then they broke up.  But it was "real love" though you guys.  Another girl: dated a guy for a few weeks, got engaged (even bought wedding rings), then broke up a few weeks after.  Got back together for like two weeks then broke up again.  They were soooo in love, weren't they??

What is it with you kids and commitment? Why are all of you in such a hurry to settle down? You're in high school and some just starting college! This is supposed to be the time of your life and all you can do is worry about whether you have a boyfriend/girlfriend or not? Don't get so invested in a relationship that's only been going on for a few weeks or a couple of months.  It's too soon to be getting obsessed and talking about the rest of your lives together.  You're setting yourselves up for disappointment and heartbreak.  Dating at this age is supposed to be fun and care free.  You're supposed to play the field and not take things too seriously.

Now, I will be the first to say that I am usually not preoccupied with what other people do but this is insanity.  Do you know what the definition of insanity is?  Doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result. It's affecting some people that I care about and quite frankly I'm tired of the whining over nothing.  I guess they don't realize that if they didn't worry about it so much it wouldn't really bother them. Some people date someone for a couple weeks,  fall so in love with them, then they break up and all of a sudden they're ready to kill themselves over it.  A week later they have a new person and the process repeats itself.  One of these girls says quite often that she'll never find anyone and maybe the world would be a better place without her.  She's taking it too seriously.

Seems like I've only been talking about girls here so let's use a guy example.  One guy has been in love with this girl for a while but they never really stay together for long.  She will go date other guys in between and he's killing himself over it.  Every time it happens he always says "I don't give a fuck about nothing!" or "No one cares about me."  Move on! You're too young to be stuck on one person for the rest of your life.  You can be happy with someone else.  I promise.

Now I guess I need to go ahead and mention the part where I used to be one of these kids.  I'm not going to pretend that I've never "been in love" or whatever.  But I guess the relationship that ended the easiest was the one where we just dated and never dropped the L-bomb.  I'm still friends with all the guys I've ever been with because I've gotten over all the crap.  I've realized that all that stuff doesn't matter anymore because it wasn't what we thought.

I'm not trying to say that love is a bad thing, because it's not.  But you need to hold out until you're ready.  It will be so much better if you do.
