Anti-social social experiment

I woke up this morning and thought to myself, "Self, I am sick of Facebook."

For real, I said that.

Honestly, I woke up thinking of the weeks of political rants, passive aggressive Facebook "likes" for either party and straight up obnoxiousness. Then yesterday I tried to have a little fun with facebook friends by replacing the word "vote/ voting/ voter" for "fart/ farting/ farter" on some status updates (on my wall) for a little kicks and giggles. All in good fun. In my good fun I apparently offended someone. 

I was flabbergasted.

Flabbergasted because it's politics. It's not our kids being called the "R-word" or saying something about race, gender and/ or stereotypes.

I said the word FART!

This someone is part of the Down syndrome community that I became "friends"  out of obligation.  

Seriously, it's like, "Hey, our kids have Down syndrome, so we must be friends!"

Yea, right. It's like being friends with someone because they have the same hair color as you. It's a racket, I tell you.

So let's just call it as it is. My friends are my friends because I call, text, email them. Oh wait, and I see them in person. I associate myself with people who have similar values and that's just that. If you don't believe in evolution or can't laugh at a political goofiness in good fun, I really have no interest in furthering a friendship. Sound rude? Well then don't be friends with me.

By the way, did you know I have 340 friends? {sarcasm}

I guarantee that I am a nice person, but I am really not as tolerant as I try to be. My mouth filter is starting to break and I don't want to be "that person". So, my lack of tolerance is leading me to my anti-social experiment.

By the end of the week my Facebook will be deactivated {literally} until December 15th{ish} - willing I decide to come back. I am sure there are those of you who really don't care, and that's fine. We're just not close.

However, if you are interested in the real me - follow me on Blogger. You don't need to be a blogger to do so. You can get email updates and communicate with me via comments. 

If you have my #, text me :)

If you have my email, email me :)

I am on Instagram at adrijoy83 {I can't quit all social media!}

 I really value my friends and Facebook has made it too easy to take them for granted.

"Fun Fact": I have been on Facebook everyday (unless on a cruise) since 2004 when Facebook was only available to college students. We had to request our school to be added!
