Facebook Can Lead to Your Doom!!!

   By:  LA Williams

    People, I implore you to not use Facebook as your personal conduit, connecting your egotistical, narcissist, bubble of an existence with the outside world. The old scripture says that "what is done in the dark will come to the light." Today, facebook inhabitors are idiotically turning the light onto their own sins and are shocked at the repercussions they incur. I'm not saying hide your sins. One should acknowledge and deal with their sins accordingly. However, sites like Facebook records your deeds and will force you to deal with these issues publicly and embarassingly.
     Pictures of your life, as it unfolds are nice, but I find it a bit over-zealous for some Facebookers to have the need to post hundreds of random pictures of themselves in the bathroom mirror...mostly for some sort of public acknowledgement. Get over yourself already... "You look good, Girl... How many times do you need us to tell you that?"


     Remember, Facebook records everything. I have a friend who's been with his girlfriend for five years. Through the years, she's always presented herself as the loyal, hardworking, honorable type. The only annoying thing about her is that she tends to pass slight judgements against other people's minor indecretions. But, it was ok because she was the everything she claimed to be--honest, faithful, and eyes for only him. Well, her home computer went down a couple of months ago and recently, my friend decided to try to repair the computer himself. He was, surprisingly, successful. The computer rebooted, with all the bells and whistles. Proud of his accomplishment [guys love to play the role of hero for their girls], he pulled up tabs for her email account file and facebook account file. With pride in his voice, he joyously bellowed through the house for her to come to the computer room. As she entered, he proudly told to look at what he had accomplished for her. "Now, you can handle all your billing and computer needs, baby," he said with a smile. He asked for her email ID and password assuming she probably had hundreds of email messages needing to be addressed. Without hesitation, she gave it to him and the email account appeared. ...Smile. Moving onto the Facebook tab, he asked her for the same info, assuming she may have things and people to catch up with. After an awkward pause, she blurted out for him to just delete the page. "Why would you want to do that," he asked? "Cause Facebook only causes trouble," she replied. "Just delete the damn page," she insisted. At this point, he began to assume his angel might have something to hide. His heart rate tripled, as he insisted she have the account pulled up. Prevailing in this measure, first thing he noticed on her page were the unchecked messages. Clicking the message icon, one message stood like the purverbial red thumb. The last statement from some guy was, "..I'm sitting here whacking my meat." OMG!!! My friend nervously, slightly shouted, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!" His girlfriend quitely replied that she didn't know what that was. My friend clicked onto the full message. The message went something like this:
 
 
Guy J: so, r u going to be my girl or what?
 
 
My friend's girl: Gosh, can't we EVER just have a normal conversation. I don't know yet. Let's wait and see.

Guy J: I'll leave you alone.
 
 
My friend's girl: No, wait. I didn't say that. So, what are you doing?
 
 
Guy J: sitting here whacking my meat.
 
 
My friend, nearly in tears, asked his girl how she could do such a thing. Flipping the script, she yelled that she didn't feel like dealing with this and that he shouldn't read more into this than what is there.
Now, I'm not going to go into their insuing argument because my point is clear. Facebook records one's dastardly deeds. If not on the up-and-up, late night chats and imaginative photos can be the doom to Facebook users and their love ones. Use Facebook wisely.
