Thought of the Day: As we change so will the people around us. That being said, don't worry about people in your past - there is a reason they didn't make it to our future. Clean out your social closet!
I do have to relay this to personal experience. Possibly about what NOT to do. You see, I do have to brazenly admit there are PLENTY of my exes scattered on my FaceBook. They are ubiquitious.
So why and how did I LET this happen?
As a reminder perhaps? Of the past?
Boyfriends of Christmases and blissful V-Days and Birthdays past?
Like a ghost?
How Girlina of me to ALLOW them to pummel themselves happiliy and wantonly all over my FaceBook, especially when my current beau is SO PROMINENTLY displayed on my FB status, on my pics, in my life?
I don’t have a clear cut answer, but I might have a morose cluttered one: I simply would like to remain friends with some of them. Not all, mind you.
List of some of those Not on my FB:
1. The one who stalked me and is now in prison! Enough said. If you want to read more about it, you'll have to read my future bestseller about Jara and her quirky friends.
2. The one who killed his best friend in a battle outside a prominent restaurant (it was involuntary manslaughter), who is the same one who cellphone stalked me at 2 in the morning, post-beer bliss at random bars. BTW – did you know you cannot block a cellphone? Yep, this is ALSO the same idiot who cyberstalked me with suicidal emails at 2 in the morning, and yes, I did call the police on him and yes, they did bust into his house and point a gun to his face, waking him from his beer enfused crusty-addled slumber. What a Jackass. Aha, yes, this is the same one who my criminal attorney sister represented in the involuntary manslaughter case, but he was such a moronic toad that she had to fire him. Rather rare of her to do.
3. The one future AA member (he’d just downed some Merlot, and three Heinken’s) who told me, on our first (and LAST!) date that he wanted to become a mercenary. This, after hanging out with an actual mercenary of strange décor and questionable descent at a random bar in our midtown. One-sided alcoholic annihilistic conversation went like this:
“Jamila, if after we’re married, do you mind if I go to Africa and kill people for money?”
Say WHAT?
Yes, he had a lot of good qualities: flamboyantly passionate about ME, well-dressed, well-read, eloquent speaker, pseudo-good at picking up women:
”Are you Italian?”
That gets me every time. I just love the Italians.
4. The one who invited me out to eat and ordered every lonesome and radical thing on the menu, including dessert, and then at the end of the meal, looked at me with his soulful brown eyes (Bambi’s twin bro, I swear!) and then asked me if I have any money. Good Lord.
Well that’s enough for now, isnt' it? I do not want to overwhelm anyone, or leave anyone slack-jawed and complacent about the whole affair of ex-boyfriends! One of my future bestsellers will be www.baddate.com.
The one I’m working on now is simply about Jara and her five QUIMMISH friends: The Chocolate Thief, The Accidental Magician, The Serial Killer Turned Hitwoman, The Ghosthunter, The Sexaholic, and The Gambler. You might recall that QUIMMISH is how someone like me acts and who is a Quirky Uncontrollable Immature Middle-aged woman. Festooned with spirally swirly girlina acts of doom, agony, despair, chocolate, and fun! Ha!
My current novel! It’s a random vast madcap galore roller-coaster ride of glitz, glamour, sex, murder, intrigue and chockfull of bathroom humor comedy.
Now…so DO YOU have your very own exes on YOUR FaceBook?
I’d like to know. I gleefully and ravagely and ravishingly invite your comments!

The only good thing about your ex getting into a car accident and suffering from TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) is that he is not on facebook. He has no short term memory, so he would forget to check it. And, hopefully he forgot a few of the fights we had too, though they all were his fault of course.
You are correct! (Especially about all the fights being his fault of course. I know you never did a flippin' thing wrong, LOL.) Of course I know exactly to whom you refer, I remember you stories about him. I am saddened remembering the car accident story and I hope that he is doing well. Like you, I never wish harm on any of my exes, either. If it didn't work out then there's a reason although we may not realize it at the time. Thank you for your comment, LAW.
Jamila, Nice to know I'm not the only one who has chosen so wrongly in my past, I gave up years ago looking for Mr. Right. But I do have a few good stories to share. We must get together for lunch sometime. Great meeting you yesterday. Later girlfriend. Abigail Everheart
Hello Suzyboop AKA Abigail Everheart! So lovely to hear from you. I was really inspired by you yesterday and you made me smile. Let's have lunch soon, definitely! We can hang out and laugh and even swap more stories. Happy Thanksgiving!
