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!

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...

When History Repeats Itself...

My mom raised three kids on her own. My close friend Sandra's* mom raised two kids on her own. My friend Lana* is a product of a married household. Let me tell you some more facts: I am now a single mom raising two kids on my own. My sister is a single mother raising two kids. Sandra is a single mom raising three kids on her own. Lana is married, with two children and more often than not, a stay at home mom. Lets take a look closer: My husband has always told me that I was destined to be a single mother. It is his belief that I didn't put in the effort required to keep our marriage afloat because I was far too receptive to being a single mother since that was the type of household that I came from. This may be true. I have no idea what a working marriage looks like since I wasn't the product of one. One of my brothers who grew up with my rolling stone of a father informed me that many of the flaws my husband had were the same flaws our father had. I found this to...

Admit It, You're Bitter!

For most, dating isn't easy (see " Dating Game (s) post). Can I be honest? I have no idea on where to begin! With each failed relationship, after sulking and licking your wounds one would hope that they have at least learned something from the experience. As much as we invest in these relationships, even after their demise we should hope to take something away from it. Whether that means that you no longer have tolerance for someone who doesn't make you happy, or finally realizing someone who only changes their underwear on special occasions may not be the right person for you... the bottom line is that you have standards. For me, standards were truly created and defined after navigating the terrain of turbulent relationships. Its not that I hadn't a clue of what I wanted in a partner, its just that a few go-rounds with the wrong person will let you know what you DON'T want in a partner. Negative experiences will often leave me far less receptive ...
