Keep your PERSONAL life PERSONAL!

One thing that annoys me to no end is when people broadcast their life issues in detail on a social networking site BUT THEN get mad when people comment on it! First and foremost, I understand everyone has the 1st amendment right to say whatever they what (well almost anything) but that DOES NOT mean you shouldn’t use a filter. There is nothing wrong with self-expression or your “opinion;” however, have more sense to decide what is appropriate. Second, you can’t expect people NOT to say something about what have you posted because you made your PERSONAL business PUBLIC. IF you don’t want to hear side comments from other people, THEN DON’T post it….duh! It’s a SOCIAL network site, so people are going to socialize about whatever they want! And furthermore, why are you mad anyway? You can’t be mad at someone’s comments about your post, when you are the main person that puts it up there for the world to see! What I really want to know is WHY? Why do people expose their business on a social network anyway? Is it for attention? If it is, go buy a pet or pick up a new hobby, hell, read a new book! You have got to find a better way to deal with your issues Facebook, Twitter, your blog is not the way! The last time I checked these were not virtual group therapy sessions so please, stop putting your business out there. It’s just not a good look for you!

His & Hers: Accidentally switched phones...yikes!

Time to time I have noticed that some of my followers or people I follow bring up some interesting relationship topics on Twitter (follow me @thelipstickmemo). It's hard to really weigh in on the conversation in just 140 characters but that's why I blog! :) One topic awhile back that I didn't get a chance to weigh in on is if one day a couple accidentally switched phones with their significant other. To some couple, this may not seem like a big deal but to other couples, I think something like this could end a relationship for GOOD! So what would YOU do? Would you panick and try to unswitch phones right away or would you keep it?
If it rings and it's a name or number you don't recognize, would you answer it or let it go to voicemail? Would you go through their phone or turn it off completely to avoid temptation? It's very possible that this could happen, in fact, probably quite often considering it many people have the same phone these days. It really all boils down to trust. Do you really TRUST your partner or don't you? While you had their phone, could you confront them about something if it was an "accidental" switch? It's a very sticky situation but I'm a firm believer that all things happen for a reason and more than likely, if something did happen while you had their phone then it's probably something you already knew but just didn't want accept it or it was meant fo you to find out. What are your thoughts?

Why do people CONTINUE lose their life for shoes?

I will never in my twenty-something years of life understand why people continue to endanger their life for a pair of shoes (brand(s) will remain nameless) .You all hear the stories all the time about someone either getting killed, robbed, shot, stabbed etc. over a pair of $200-something pair of shoes. I just don't get! What baffles me is that people will actually stand in line for hours and days just to have the latest and yet, they claim their broke five minutes later but will be BACK IN LINE AGAIN for the same stupid shoe. Where are the priorities? If people in this country invested more of their time,energy and money into important things then we would be much further along than we are now. It's really sad how people think. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with wanting nice things or even working hard for them IFyou have it but all I ask is that you have your priorities together. Don't let shoes come first over your life, it's not worth it. Don't let shoes come before your bills and other responsibilities! Don't let shoes be the reason why you NEVER go anywhere outside your zip code! Don't let shoes be the reason why you DON'T give back to your community and the world! This whole shoe pandemonium thing is just dumb and we have go to do better people THE END.

PSA: AIDS are real!

My blog is supporting the Red Pump Project in spreading the world about the National HIV/AIDS Awareness Day for Women Girls on March 10th!!! You may hear it all the time or maybe people are hearing it enough (otherwise this epidemic wouldn't keep spreading like a wild fire) but it's so important that we take our health seriously people. We only get one life to live and it's vital that we all protect it. WE are the only ones who can control the behavior of how this disease spreads and we have got to do better in holding ourselves and others accountable. Did you know? (add four facts from Red Pump Project)It's never too late to join the Red Pump Rocker Movement! Learn how you and/or blog can start participating today!

I love you Whitney!!!
