The stalker in me loves tracking the stalker in you.

Things the Eys will never use. Google has finally come up with its app for tracking other app users with a gps. How fun! So you can download this app and stalk your friends and family all day and all night. When I read this article I had to chuckle, the author did a good job of stating the pros and cons of this new app. But let me tell you this, I will NOT be using it :) Anyone who spends 5 minutes talking to me will pick up quickly that I am not the most open person when it comes to my personal business. I actually kind of pride myself with me covert opps, stealth mode existence, I love flying under the radar and constantly filling up the air of my mystery with my paranoid like secrecy. There is a reason why all of my good friends, all of my longest known acquaintances live MILES away from me. Like in another state including other time zones. Heck, most of my peeps have a wandering nomad complex just like me, I’ve moved my residence almost every year since 2001 and am looking to live in my 4th state coming this summer. So what the heck is she running from, you may be wondering, well if I told ya, I’d have to kill ya. And why do I continue to live the life of a paranoid Michael Phelps head (even tho I don’t partake)? You know sometimes its just dammit fun, and sometimes you have to do what you gotta to remain drama free. Coming from a sista who has been stalked and has stalked, I just feel safer at night knowing my whereabouts are a mystery even to me sometimes. So this lil app and the other apps just like it will never be on the Eys’s xmas list. no no no. For the same reason I’m anti twitter (nonya bidness what I’m doing or thinking right now, it might involve a plot to poke you in the eye for being so nosy) and social networking sites annoy the crap outta me. So many ways for people to get in touch with me, so many ways for people to connect, so many ways for people to get on my nerves. Trust if I need to find someone, its not the hard.

For example/funny story: I had a “friend” who’s car I passed everyday going to and coming home from work. One day I saw her in her car pulling out of her parking space and headed home (well getting on the highway). I thought it was kinda funny that I was in the car behind her and called her on her cell phone to play a joke. Well no evil deed goes unthwarted. The “friend” didn’t answer her phone. Then she picked it up (remember I’m right behind her and can see her) and texted me a message that read: I’m working late tonight, in a meeting, I’ll hit you up when I get out. Didn’t need a google app, a gps, twitter, facebook, or myspace to catch her in that lie….just good ole fashion coincidence.

My point is that sometimes folks use these apps to catch people in lies, to make sure their mates are where they say they are, and to keep track of their world. I say you don’t need an app, people will tell on themselves all by themselves, and if you keep your eyes open, you may get all the info you need.

No stalker apps for me, thank you very much.
