I've decided my life is better without facebook for my own reasons and whenever I check downloads in market for updates for any of my apps...facebook is always at the top notifying me an update is available...I want nothing to do with facebook on my phone, any help?

facebook is installed by default... there is no way around this. you don't have to use it just because it's on your phone... update it and leave it alone.

Titanium Backup

Or if you don't want to use terminal commands, just root your droid, then use titanium backup to get rid of facebook. It allows you to backup any app before removing it, so that you can restore the app at a later point.
