Googling my Facebook friends of note...

And I am definitely not going to be so bold as to name drop, but by reading a few of their 'abouts', on their pages and using my inner detective curiosity with a side of deductive reasoning and realizing that some, alright many, may embellish their true backgrounds and accomplishments, I verify with whom I am dealing, mostly when their info appears way over the top, huh?

Yep, I Google them and search the net to know for my own self mind preservation if what they have written is not fantasy. Most of you would say why bother. Of course the venue is to bring all people from all walks of life together, not just to find commonalties but to learn from our differences, true? And that is why when anyone who has more than two hundred 'friends' in common with me, I have said 'YES' to their friending request. Sure I have been known to be unfriended and I too have done that. 
Oddly, enough when I do confirm their claims to their true identities, I wonder why? Yes, I sure do...that is why...
A famous; I mean Oscar award winning Hollywood producer movie mogul and an award winning author, those two have been my friends for years, and just recently an international self-made billionaire have somehow become "MY" Facebook friends? Some might believe a miscommunication or just a plain mistake; and to me it becomes a stupid fear of not wanting to scare them off, or as I always do have that undeniable fear of that shoe dropping, or perhaps they going over their friends' list and taking a scrutinizing careful inventory and also thinking, huh? What gives? In my mind and most likely theirs when they find out that they might have goofed with approving this semi-intrapersonal relationship for keeps with me or at least till they realize that I am not cut from the same cloth as they are! 
The biggest question is how to speak to these men, and yes they are all men of notoriety, (that is this particular threesome), without feeling lesser than?
So that is my silly intimidation factor, which I used tell myself did not exist in me... Come on folks I worked in the industry with celebrities, but alas it is now over twenty years. And I do know they all put their pants on one leg at a time... I have met people, so-called stars of movies and TV and sporting figures, and I even have appeared on TV and radio myself...
But now when most understand as I do in my heart of hearts at this elder so-called knowledgeable age of consent to make one hell of a fool of one's self publicly!
Any of you who have been keeping up with this whole process of the concept of this venue of mine; the name alone of "Speaking My Mind", should tell most who enter my realm to beware! Sadly, my filtering has diminished significantly. So whomever enters be careful is all I am saying...

With that said; I must admit that being an old timer member of Facebook, meaning for many years now... and ok old, it has been a lifeline, an education, a place to connect with my past and to find out about my future and so to some that may seem too simple a reasoning, but I now, to date, as a commoner have over 2,600 Facebook friends from every walk of life and every corner of this planet and for that I shall brag on due to being quite undeniably thankful!

On that note of some anonymous note, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS this is just between us, so don't tell them, okay? THANKS!
