The Big Day...Task # 1...

Today is the big day, what's in store? I have absolutely no idea. The first day of Mauler & Rush Almighty has officially started, and its time to receive my first task.



I take a deep breath as I wait for them to drop the bomb...fortunately for me, they decide to ease me into it. My Task was to "Shed the Fat" as Mauler would say. To take my 457 Facebook friends, and cut it down to 20!!! 20??? Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to do that? It almost sounds ridiculous, but afterwards when you reflect on it, I needed to come to the realization....I am not defined by the amount of Friends I have on Facebook. Pure and simple.



It was a tedious task, deleting 437 people. My hands felt cramped, and my wrists started to ache. I almost thought it wouldn't get done in time because some people just wouldn't delete no matter how many times I hit that little X, like Facebook was trying to make the task just that much more difficult. In the back of my mind, I kept thinking of the drama that would come out of this. That I would have to deal with the backlash of people taking it personally or something, PEOPLE, it was self preservation!!



Not too long after, the msg's started pouring in. People letting me know they heard me on the Radio, and that they completely understood my situation. It felt really good knowing that people were supporting me. Even those who were in my top 20 let me know they would sacrifice their spot if it meant me completing my task. I can't thank them enough, by them doing that, it gave me the push I need to keep going in this process. Feeling the good wishes and motivation from people, some of whom I haven't spoken to in a long time, I thank you.



I have my top 20, but thats not to say the people I deleted are ones I don't care about, I do, just put yourself in my shoes for a minute. I actually feel good. I don't have the temptation of gossip and creeping others pages, and not knowing, can sometimes be a good thing. People don't know my business, and I don't know theirs, so if I was to run into them, then we have something to talk about as opposed to me saying..HEY, saw you did this on Facebook, ugh. 1 down.
