As stated in the girlfriend pics on Facebook post, I am purposely friends with people that have crossed me at some point in my life. They don't know that I harbor grudges...they only see what I want them to. I delight in watching their relationships fail spectacularly in front of God and everybody on Facebook...I also enjoy watching them grow fat and old and lament about not being able to get a "good man"...then eventually ANY man for that matter.
Then I go in and make little sympathetic/empathetic comments, even though I really have nothing but contempt. This usually makes them open up to me and sometimes admit that they SHOULD have gotten with me in hindsight...which, of course, causes me to laugh maniacally.
Great examples:
There is a female I'm FB friends with who fronted on me HARD in Korea. I know it was the environment more than anything, but my wrath knows no bounds. Nowadays, she's doing pretty well...in an administrative position at work and is still in decent shape. She was in relationship with a dude who looked like raw hamburger...and she is not an ugly woman by any stretch (you can't escape Marquee Value
). I knew it wasn't gonna last, and I watched as they played it out publicly on FB. When it finally did ended, and everyone rushed in to give their condolences and support, I too offered a "friendly ear"...she eventually admitted that she thinks about our past situation often and wished things HAD gone differently between us, and that I'm one of the few men she's met that not only intellectually stimulates her, but that she also considers "eye candy". So is there where I bite her head off? NO!
This is where I keep it peaceful so that we remain Facebook friends...so that everytime I put a new picture up of my beautiful keeper, my relatively expensive luxury sports car, or I post a status about how wonderful my life is, I know she has a front row ticket to see just HOW wonderful my life is and how crappy hers is. I LOVE IT!!

Today there was an update from another chick who fronted on me in college...she married some jock who was an up and coming basketball player and had a couple of kids. I give her credit...she still looks GREAT! Anyhoo, what looked like a happy marriage on FB, quickly and suddenly ended in divorce. So now she is trying to get her groove back playfully, but I know she is hurt and scared. She posts statuses like how she basically feels like an idiot and it seems that she based his love for her on how much jewelry and crap he bought her. Typical black woman mentality. So, recently she makes a post showing a bunch of diamond jewelry and states that just because he bought her jewelry, didn't stop him from breaking her heart. So you have the rush of girlfriends rushing in to administer ego CPR and pump her head back up to max PSI STAT!
I simply posted to never base how much someone loves you on how much expensive shit they buy you, because in the end, you're left holding a bunch of sparkling rocks and feeling retarded. Of course I put it MUCH more eloquently than THAT, and it's intonation will surely go over well with her and her cheerleaders, but I know it will resonate.
