PEOPLE YOU MAY (REALLY NOT) KNOW



     So he got curious and looked at this People You May Know section in Facebook, you know that part where FB recommends some people you can add as friends.  No, he wasn’t thinking of adding friends, he thought his nineteen FB friends were more than enough.

     There were people in that section which owner he didn’t know from Adam and yet they had more than fifty common friends. Then, he stumbled on this profile account which he quickly recognized. He was already friends with this account, he was sure. He went to his own account for proof and there, he saw the owner of that account liking and commenting on some of his posts, some of it just a year ago.

     Yes, indeed, they used to be friends. But now, she’s only someone he may know. Lol. She had unfriended him. Why, he doesn’t have any clue. He hasn’t seen her and hasn’t talked to her for probably two years now and her account  is still the same. It’s not a new account where she forgot to add him again, so yeah, she really unfriended him. Well, she probably thought his presence in her friends’ list was too inconsequential.

     At least, she didn’t block him, unlike someone who blocked him not only once but twice.  Yes, she has two FB accounts.  She probably thought, too, that he was inconsequential not only to her friends’ list but to her life—and yeah, the last time he checked, she had kept him blocked. (*wipes tears*)

     He went back to looking at People You May Know list, and he concluded that no, he didn’t really know these people. And why would you want more friends in Facebook when the only things that connect you there are likes and hearts, things that are cheaper than sili... friends who could easily abandon you and forget...

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
