if you didn't know, i'm a facebook stalker extraordinaire. i can find people that i've met before even if i can't remember their names. yes, i'm that good.
i was searching and searching for this guy i had a crush on waaayyyy back in elementary school. i just couldn't find him anywhere, which is weird because everyone who's anyone has a facebook these days.
so for grins and giggles i searched an online registry for criminal offenders and bam, there he was. i couldn't remember his last name until it appeared on a list, and when i clicked the link, there was his photo as clear as day. i hadn't seen him in person for well over a decade, but i recognized his eyes immediately. it was pretty damn scary.
drug related offense, of course. and i think possession of a weapon. that dude is locked up until at least 2014.
it weirds me out because...i mean, at one point we were on the same path. we were in elementary school, but still. and at one point i had silly kid feelings for him. what did that guy get into to put himself where he is now?
i hate seeing friends who i feel are making those same mistakes that this guy did. people who are just stuck, but don't see themselves killin their chances because whatever they're doing in the moment feels too good for them to care about. how else does it start, ya know?
i'm not trying to judge. i want people i care about to be safe and smart. but damn, 2014? jesus.
