Unfriend-- the awful truth.

G'day Everyone.

Go to this link first: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/11/17/unfriend.word/index.html

Earlier this year, there was a tic-tac candy advertisement that spoofed the on-line "friend requests" of Facebook.com of which he would dole out candy by those he'd accept and Deny those who he didn't like or didn't know. It looked to be a very humorous ad on TV at it's best for the candy maker and Facebook.

But now the Oxford Dictionary made it clear this year that "unfriend" (or what I like to say "Defriend") is a word that is very simple: To terminate contact of a friend on a social network site.

But in real life, unfriend as well as defriend is also known as a person who is NOT your friend any more. It's an ugly word. I've had people walk in and out of my life these days. But when you hear about something seriously happen to someone who defriended you long ago, it's like the loss of the friendship being reopened and feeling seriously wounded. I wish people would not defriend me for any reason in real life. Some times, it's best to say "come down to me and let's talk this out. Maybe we can work it out". I keep a list of people who defriended me in life and put them up as a prayer request to petition God to keep them safe in life.

I hope you won't experience defriend or unfriend in life or on the social network sites. Just hope we get more "Friend Requests" in real life or on-line.

For now.. Semper FI.
