"It's only Facebook!" Or isn't it?

In this forever evolving techno society inwhich we now live, our private worlds seem to be merging with out public worlds. Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, create atmospheres for living publicly, sharing what we are doing and/or thinking every moment of every day. Although there is a supposed "Netiquette" to help with communicating unseen characteristics such as tone(caps) and body language(smh), certain things are still left open.
Like what? Glad you asked!



















Cheating has always been a complex enough issue with emphasis placed not only on physical connections but emotional ones as well. Back in the day, we may have lost contact with exes and friends of the opposite sex upon getting into new relationships. Now, finding old flames or new ones even, is just one click away. New things are constantly being added to the infamous list of cheating such as sexting and sending nude pics/videos via e-mail or picture message. The question up for debate now is whether or not e-mailing, texting, and/or conversing with an ex on Facebook/Twitter (or even having them on your friends list or as a contact on your instant messenger) is cheating? What do you think?

    Hmm it's hard to say. My gf is friends with a couple of her exes on facebook as am I (just one). We can chuck this one up to trust. If someone gets out of line than it's done. Great topic, btw.

    Cheating is when you go against the "contract" you and your partner have. So , if one acts against that contract, whatever the terms may be it is cheating. this could be FB association, texting, talking.. all depends on the relationship

IN THE SPOTLITE: LUKE JAMES

LUKE JAMES    Well, well, well I must say Luke James "I Want You" in my collection of great music. This man can sang, if you don't know you better ask somebody.   Representing New Orleans, this new found success has been a long time coming for Luke.  After a trio attempt didn't pan out, he landed the opportunity to sing backup for Tyrese, which led to a record deal for the duo 'Luke and Q'. But once again, that path was cut short. Yet, that didn't discourage him. He went on to assist in writing songs for artists such as Justin Beiber, Brittany Spears, Keri Hilson, and  Brandy.  Recently, he also appeared in Beyonce's video for "Run The World (Girls)". Now, the doors have opened again for him and this time he is going at it solo, which ultimately might be just what he needed. Luke James exudes sincerity, not only in his music but in his personality as well.  He doesn't want to just simply make songs that s...

"Stabbed in the Back" ~ Idiom definitions

"It's just a figure of speech!" id·i·om /ˈidēəm/ Noun: A group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g., raining cats and dogs). A form of expression natural to a language, person, or group of people: "he had a feeling for phrase and idiom". It's funny the way that we often learn things in language and communication, without realizing what it is that we actually learned. Idioms have become so common that even kids understand the meanings of many of them. Idioms assist in the flow of figurative language, but can often be lost in translation; meaning that others who didn't grow up in that culture might not be able to connect the dots. Below I have listed a few. Feel free to join in with others that you may know. "to throw a monkey wrench in the plans" "you put your foot in it" (referring to cooking) "you put your foot into ...
