Squeaky’s Blog

I have two Facebook accounts and I use them both.  I have to say I use the one for my site a lot less but I have it.  As for my personal page I use it all the time.  I am always logged into it.  I love the applications and play a ton of games.  I usually go strong on one game then change to a new one and go back and forth.  I also like everyone else post comments and keep in touch with family and friends.  It’s odd though I am not sure if I am changing or if my friends are changing.  So much in our lives has changed over the last year.  We have taken a different turn and I sometimes wonder if we will stay on this road or take another detour.  I miss the life we had before the Army moved us here and changed DP’s job.  He had the dream job he wanted, the job he joined the Army for.  But the Army had a new plan for us and we like always went with it.  We find a way to look at the positive in all our moves.  We really believe that you make each duty station good or bad.  There are some things that you can’t change that may be good or bad but if you make yourself happy in your family life it will make the time at the duty station better.  So, when we moved here we were totally excited.  We were finally closer to family and in Florida and a great location.  The job we knew for DP was going to be hard and it has.  It takes up so much of his time.  Then, comes all the new coworkers and their family members that we have here now with DP’s new job and it seems that some of them live in a different place then us.  There is the age gap, lifestyle gap, language issues, maturity level difference, and more.  There are wives that want the whole friendship and closeness but only Monday thru Thursday.  The weekends are the time when the hubby’s are home and they don’t want to be bothered with co-workers or some lame excuse of how they are worried about what their kids touching things.  It seems they all say they want an office with unity and yet they don’t want to work to make it happen.  Well, in the middle of this I have continued to use my Facebook account to help keep in touch with friends, family and the new people I have met here.  Somewhere over the last month my eyes have become open to civilian life and the stupidity of people.  I have noticed how easy and fast people on Facebook take things out of perspective and blow up.  It’s stupid little things and shows a real lack of maturity.  Why argue in comments back and forth?  Why not be the bigger person and just walk away knowing that it’s stupid?  I mean we are talking about grown people just calling others names and throwing dirt.  I was so pissed tonight that I just deactivated my personal account until I can decide what I want to do with it.  I know that I love the applications and yet I can play games online almost anywhere.  I know I have posted my opinions and they have pissed people off but then it makes me wonder?  Why do I care?  It’s my opinion and it can change or stay the same but it’s mine.  I have the right to say and feel what ever I want right?  So, tell me you don’t agree that’s fine but I am not going to change my mind because your feelings are hurt.  I am tired of listening to people bitch and complain because things didn’t work out the way they wanted.  Its life it sucks, get over it.  I complain from time to time but come on people can’t you just suck it up and move on?  Do you have to complain every comment you make?  What happened to just posting little happy things, or what’s new in life, and the occasional complaint?  I love using Facebook and it’s killing me not to be able to log in and play all my silly little applications that I really don’t have time for but I just don’t know if it’s worth the headache.  Who knows maybe in the morning I will have a change of heart and a plan to make it enjoyable again.
