My day started off just fine until lunch rolled around. I don't even know if I want to get into the story because it just irritates me when I think about it. I'm so angry over it, that I even deactivated from FB for a while.
And yes, the story completely has to do with freakin facebook. I've never even had drama on FB before until now. The worst kind of drama. Boyfriend's family on FB drama. Boyfriends family writing on my wall non stop drama. Drama over a stupid news video! ARGH!!!! Facebook= just the internet!!!!!! It's not REAL LIFE!!!!! It's a computer with posts. People need to get over it!
I am perfectly aware that Mister Wonderful reads this, and who knows may comment on it, may not. But it's my blog, my words my thoughts ALL off of FB which means only blog followers will no whats up and NO ONE FROM FB will!
There was a video on Yahoo last night about a cop that gave a dad a ticket for speeding his in labor wife to the hospital.

The cop escorted the man and his in labor wife to the hospital, but then went ahead and wrote the man a TICKET for SPEEDING to the hospital!!!!!! The kicker of the story was, the wife delivered the baby within S I X minutes of arriving to the hospital. If that doesn't scream emergency I don't know what does! So as a viewer of this video, of course I totally feel for this family who is trying to fight the ticket right? I mean come on!!!! The cop said that the man endangered the life of others driving that fast. Don't ambulances speed to get people to the hospital? Don't cops chase bad guys in their cop cars? Aren't these the same thing as what the man did?
So I posted the video on FB, to see what others thought. First mistake by me, I used a one sentence heading of the video to read as "This is why people hate cops!"
Enter drama.
Mister Wonderful's dad is a cop. His grandfather was a cop. Many of Mister Wonderful's family added me on FB. The only people who commented on the video were his family. They weren't to thrilled I used the word hate apparently.
No where in that one sentence did I say ANYTHING about his dad and hating his dad as a cop. No where did I say that I, ME, C MAE author of LIVE WHAT YOU LOVE, HATE COPS. I just generic-ly(<-------- like my made up word?)) threw in there that PEOPLE as in the American people as a whole hate em. Okay I get where I messed up with the word hate. But I didn't mean it like I HATE BLACK people or I HATE JEWS....I should of said aren't fond of or don't like. But I was trying to make a point that I thought the ticket was ridiculous.
His uncle, and sister posted back and for 16 comments long about how they thought it was wrong of me to post the video. WTF? His sister even asked me to take it down. Are you serious? Hold up.
It's MY FB!!!!!!!! It's AMERICA! THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY WITH FREEDOM of speech! I can write what I want, when I want! Where does she get off telling me to take the video off my own wall just because she doesn't like it?
GRRRRRRRR I was so pissed, that I deleted all the comments made. I left the video up.
Next day (which was today)
I get a text at lunch from Mister Wonderful asking me to take the video down.. My heart sinks. This isn't good. He wasn't even involved up until this point. I text back No. I will not. I will not because I didn't mention a family member. I will not because I am entitled to my opinion. I will not even if I used terrible wording. It's my sh*T. back off.
Enter first fight for us. I cried right before my first graders came to art after lunch. It was awful. I felt so unprofessional that I let my personal life effect my job. I couldn't stop thinking about what damage this was doing to the relationships I was suppose to be building with his family not burning the bridges between us all! :(
I have always been intimidated by the Police. They freak me out a lot. It's no secret that I was super scared to even meet Mister Wonderful's dad. I haven't had really good experiences with cops either. EVERY time I have ever been pulled over, cops have hassled me. Hassled me in the sense of I'm a girl, I'm blonde, blah blah. They ask the stupidest questions to make small talk, one cop demanded I look at him while he was speaking to me. (see I was so mad for being pulled over in my own neighborhood that I wouldn't look at the guy and he for some reason thought he could speak to me like I was a child in trouble? I DONT THINK SO!) I have never gotten a ticket thankfully even in my life, but I just feel really uncomfortable around cops. I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes, there are probably readers of mine that are married to a cop or have one in the family as well. I was just merely trying to say, it's incidences like the video I posted that give cops a bad rep, hence people like your average joe or myself tend to just not like them in general.
I feel really bad about everything, but I definitely felt hurt being attacked on FB by none other than 2 of his family members!!!!! How am I suppose to not feel weird around them when or if I ever see them again? I already know this is an "X" against me. greeeeeeeeat. I'm probably officially as awful as the last GFs Mister Wonderful has had. I mean I already took him away from Ohio, I just pretty much gave his fam another reason to hate me more. Sweet. I swear I dig myself into these holes. I am so that song by John Mayer
My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change
Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon
Yep this is me to a T.
Does anyone feel where I am coming from or am I a total wack job about this?
