A story about a Twitter joke gone very wrong …

Okay so this is a true story involving a now ex twitter follower of mine ( she absolutely wants to see me dead now… beyond dead, maybe twice dead!!) and myself…

Now I have a strange sense of humour, and up until last year, I didn’t think posting silly jokes and pranks on twitter would amount to anything, I mean who am I? nobody that’s who, I am not a celebrity, I am not famous, I am not an online force of any sorts, and I don’t have any cult followings like some folks on Twitter , no I am none of that, I am just another screen name on social media… nothing more…. oh but apparently I do have 1 teensy special ability, it’s my super power…. and that ability is… I can get you arrested and investigated for Murder…. but my ability and superpower depends GREATLY on you the Twitter follower, or Reader and your actions….

So here’s the story …. Now about a year ago I posted a simple joke on Twitter, and I assumed no one would actually DO IT !! … but alas one of my followers did actually carry out the joke… this is the Joke : Text : Okay it’s done, I hid the Body, Now what? to a completely random number and freak someone out.

Welllll a Twitter follower of mine in Saskatoon… actually carried out that joke and she sent it to a random stranger…. who as it turned out was an elderly gentleman in another town , to say that the prank text freaked him out is a big understatement!! … The Gentleman who is a concerned citizen promptly calls the RCMP and shows them the text… now the Mounties.. thinking they have a Murder on their hands, and by the sounds of the text, it may be a hit from some organized crime …. have no fear Dudley Do Right is on the Case!! and they go public with the story of a possible murder , if anyone knows anything they should assist the investigation by calling crime stoppers …. and they begin to pour resources into finding the unknown murder the body and the hitman involved so they can nail the crime organization responsible…. and all this is splashed across the local news… and camera focuses on the old gentleman who recounts his tale of terror at receiving this text message….

It took the Mighty RC’s about a week to trace the number back to a woman in Saskatoon …. and yep they arrested her ass.. and were gonna throw the book at her and charge her with Murder …. she was a 40 something year old soccer mom with a couple kids a minivan and absolutely no criminal record, not even a speeding ticket … her husband just happened to be away working… the ever diligent Fuzz patrol… called his employer to see if he was indeed still alive and at work as his wife claimed, or if she whacked him then hid his body !! needless to say her husband showed up at the cop shop in a quick hurry !

She repeatedly told the police it was a joke that was posted on twitter, she thought it was funny and just did it!needless to say @ButchCountry went dead silent for about a month…. and thankfully since I use a wireless internet Turbo stick… my IP address registers to a cell tower in Edmonton Alberta ( not sure why.. but it does , I am not an Alberta Resident) … I went silent online…. and waited for the RCMP to find me and give me the what for and escort me to the local detachment in the city. ( they never did find out who ButchCountry is , nor were they able to locate said prankster) Thank GOD!!

The RC’s raked that poor woman over the coals for 16 hours trying to get her to confess to a murder that never happened! .. all she had to say to the reporter who dogged her when the police released her was that it was a prank she read on twitter and thought it would be funny to do… she also said the person who posted the prank was an @sshole and that she will never do anything like this again.

So now I don’t post pranks and jokes on Twitter… as I learned even a nobody like me can on occasion through my superpowers… make some people think that a prank is a good one worthy of carrying out! … I never in a million years thought anyone would actually do it!

my twitter feed exploded and I went from just 400 followers to over 1000 in 1 week lol ,I keep things pretty low key on twitter , it’s a lesson learned all the way around … and yes I have thought of many other diabolical pranks that I could be posting on twitter since… and it takes me a great deal of self control NOT to post them, but i don’t want to see anyone else actually pay attention and actually pull one of my stupid pranks off… as it turns out the authorities really do not have a good sense of humour!

So that’s the story about how I learned the power of the interwebs and to mind what I say online as there are people out there crazy enough to actually do what I jokingly suggest might be funny!!

So that’s all for now, Remember Folks: express your love often,never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others.

It was a very Emotional Day today

I miss my Wife, I miss her so much it hurts, I sometimes come across on here as though I am well adjusted and moving forward and completely accepting my wife’s passing….. truth is I am not okay at all, I am very broken inside and I don’t know that I will ever actually recover from her passing, they say it get’s easier with time, I’m not sure I truly believe that, I know it’s only been 1 month and my emotions are still raw and in hyperdrive.

I have good days where I can function as though everything is alright and normal, I even manage a smile now and then, but when I am alone I cry, I cry hard , I cry from my very soul, Lord I miss my wife, I need her so badly, I really do not know how to function on my own without her, I’ve never been truly alone in my life! before her I had 3 other relationships starting at age 16, each relationship was long term, I’ve never truly been alone in life, I don’t know what to do?? what do I do? how do I live? how do I run our house, our property, take care of business, and raise a son on my own? how do I do all this? please some one TELL ME!!

my son is coming unglued, emotionally the loss of his Mother is beginning to really hit him and he is starting to crack, please God give me the strength and knowledge to help him!! my heart already shattered is being crushed watching my son weep and cry for his Momma , he wants her, he NEEDS her, he was always his Mother’s boy.

i go through the motions of life, I cook and clean , I look after our son, I make sure all his wants and needs are met, I pour all the love I have into him and let him know how proud of him I am. …. but that’s all they are, motions, I am not living, I just exist, and I do so because I have to be their for our son, I’ll tell you now I am biding my time, just existing, when Hammy is grown and has a family of his own and a wife to love, my time on this earth will come to an end.

Today, i bagged up all my wife’s clothes , 9 bags, ready for donation this coming Monday, doing this tore my soul up even more than it already was, it has to be done, it had to be done, I have to keep moving forward for Hammy’s sake, I have to move forward inch by inch for my own sake, as hard as that is for me to do.

Tonight I am going to attempt to sleep in our bed, for the first time in over 1 month, I didn’t wash the bedding or pillows, I can still smell her scent on them, I don’t know how well tonights going to go, but I have to try.

The bedroom door has been closed for the last month and a bit, since the day she had to go to the hospital, everything in there is exactly how she left it, except for her clothes which as I said i bagged and set aside for donation, I also made the bed, otherwise it’s the same as she left it, I left the door open today to get the stale air out and replenished with fresh air.

I’m in a very dark place right now and have been praying to God for strength and peace,I pray that I will learn to live again and not just exist, this is not a good feeling or place that I am in, I know this and i wonder how much more I must endure before God say’s I have had enough punishment, I must have really been an awful person in my past life because all I know now is pain and suffering in this life.

anyway that’s all I have in me for tonight, so remember folks, express your love often,never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.
