Popcorn, Anyone? Celebrity Social Media Fails

Oh Hillary. You were doing so well, preparing us for a valiant stab at President. Some of us anticipated your bid, others hoped you would learn from your last one. Either way, now due to a few deletes too many your actions remain in a questionable status and your popularity may wane rather than increase in your favor. 

But before we point fingers at Hillary, shouldn't we pay attention to other public figures who have crashed and burned on the social media train? Hillary Clinton merely pressed the delete button. There have been a few others who have commit social media suicide. Let's revisit them, shall we?

10. James Franco : Found a fan, took a pic and then flirted with her over social media. She took screen shots and posted it to social media. Instant embarrassment. The end. Oh wait!- She was 17. Okay, now I'm done. 
9.#susanalbumparty ....Why Susan Boyle, why? Read that a few times and you may understand. Where was your thinking cap?
8. Iggy Azalea: After several emotional tirades and an eventual departure from Twitter, she is now being tweeted about for her notorious freestyle fumble where she actually raps heiroglyphics. And people say she isn't talented. 
7. The eternal narcissist Donald Trump retweeted a "fans" comment saying: You are For sUre the Coolest! I thinK YOUr hAterS are JealouS. Hope yOu LikE this! Thanks! Too bad he didn't read all of the caps...
6.Snoop Dog decided to engage in a "Twitter War" with who else? Iggy Azalea. There have been plenty things that he's done that have dropped his stock in the Rap Community but going back and forth 140 characters at a time the Aussi rapper brought lame to new heights. 
5.“I am from every continent in Africa except for one AND I’m from every continent in Europe except for one.”- Raven Symone.  So... I'm guessing she isn't from... Zamunda?
4.Porn Hub decided to honor MLK on Twitter... no, wait for it... by requesting its users only use the Ebony section of the pornography site.  No...still not done. Then, corrected the tweet to say that MLK would have preferred we use the interracial section instead. I don't need a punchline. Pornhub had me covered on this one. 
3.Epicurious suggested cranberry scones in honor of Boston and New England, this came right after the  marathon massacre.
2.Bill Cosby asked people to meme him, and they did. They ditched references to his television show and Jello food items. Instead they blasted him as a rapist. Now that was just meme. 
1. The NYPD launched a hashtag campaign aimed to have people show the wonderful things that the department does for the state of NY. Instead of cats getting coaxed out of trees, numerous images of police brutality surfaced turning what was aimed to be joyful and light into a cry for civil rights. Way to fail #myNYPD, way to fail. 

I usually close my blogs with some thought provoking statement, but I don't have one. I don't want to stop people from failing on social media. One mans failure, is another man's comedic relief. Happy posting!

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,

The Punisher: Relationship Prejudice

When started dating after separation, I did it in phases. The first phase was catch up. I wanted to catch up with every man I had a spark with to explore where it would have went had I not gotten married. Once I realized that these "what if's" were really "don't bother's" I moved on to try to find "the one." After several failed attempts and false starts with "the one" I began making rules. I didn't always know what I liked but I was certain after several failed relationships of what I didnt. However, now that I look back, I realize that plenty of the red flags that made me run were almost always a shared similarity with my ex. If a man said he was interested in anything my ex was interested in, I began to feel uneasy and delve deeper for more "flags". I'll even admit that if a man were from the same country or continent as my ex, I would get turned off. I now know that I was suffering from PTRD (Post Traumatic Re

The Secret Society Of Trump Supporters

I've heard at least a dozen people proclaim their disgust with the success of Donald Trumps Presidential campaign. I'm lying, it's been everywhere. On social media, articles, and conversation you hear plenty people express their disdain at the mere thought of Trump assuming office. Then there are the supporters. There are the people who openly express their support of Trump winning the White House. As time goes on, Trump's position is yet more secured and his supporters are also more secure in showing just how much they love him. It seems now that victory is within their grasp, they can more openly say : I helped make this happen. Those are the cowards. They won't openly defend their candidate but they quietly follow and support him. Those are the people who will say: "well there are some people who support Trump because he says what others won't say." Those people, are talking about themselves. They are far too timid to say what Trump says and he ha
