"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?

~Sincerely, Me

    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...

This is a segment where I'll showcase poetry. If you'd like your work to be featured you can hit me up on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/key.saunders or e-mail sincerelyme27@live.com IF I STAND AT THE TOILET TO PISS... If I stand at the toilet to piss, Does that make me a man? If I sit, does it make me less than? If I dye my hair blonde, color my eyes blue, and rob my skin of its natural brown pigmentation Will that make me Caucasian? If I don't, am I then African? If I yell "Hallelujah!" while giving up half of my check, stomach still queasy from the club the night before, Will 'He' save me? If I, being unbaptized, die while saving another's life, Is it just 'to Hell' with me? If my skin is burned from a fire and barely hanging on  for dear life, Does that make me ugly? If not, then why doesn't anyone see me? Oh they do stare, but they don't SEE me. If my body is s...

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Do you ever find yourself frustrated when trying to communicate with the opposite sex? At times it can seem as if we speak two different languages or as if we aren't even the same species. How are we supposed to be together if we can't even talk to and understand one another? Apparently, we are expected to at some point figure it all out, but how can we when from the time we are kids we learn to communicate differently?  Women are more focused on connections and for men all talk and little action just doesn't make sense. This ultimately leads to a lot of frustration, arguments, insecurities, and unhappiness. Has this happened to you? Is that how you landed here on this site? Or perhaps you've read books and articles explaining how the genders brains are wired differently, offering tips on how to apply the information. But if you're like me, this can still leave you unsatisfied because what if we don't want to learn to communicate differently? Or wh...
