Lost in the Matrix

When control is lost...when it uses you rather then you utilizing it...the distortion of priorities..... misplacement of value.......

I Hate You With A Passion....

I do not seek you out yet you work your way in the flow of digital communication. You are loathed and loved. You bask in ignorance, disrespect and negativity. Sprinkled with moments of humor you hide behind the guise of "entertainment" You poison the system though osmosis and you care not for the damage you cause....

...you are truly Black Twitter.

Communicational Pet Peeve / Twitter Rage Face!!!!!

It didn't take long to have this classic pet peeve translate over to Twiiter. 

Nothing get's me like hittin' someone on BBM......seeing that D(delivered) turn to a R(read/received)........getting no timely reply.......but seeing the same folk posting up a storm on Twitter.

Cats and Twitter Birds......

 
Just as I was about to write this I realized that I spoke on this topic before. This previous post unfortunately still holds true and for some reason it's really bothering me. Hopefully you've taken I moment to click the link and read what I wrote in Aug. Now back to the present, understanding that female aggression is just a fact of life I don't expect to see random ladies complimenting each other on their outfits or holding doors open for each other BUT why must the opposite negative extreme be so common place.

"I can't stand her", "Who that bi**h think she is?", "She needs to sit her ass down.", "Bi**h go kill ya self", "Bye Bi**h", "Oh you ain't Beyonce!", etc, etc, fucCin' etc... Really?? I mean really is it that serious? you have all right to express negative opinion or feelings towards something but damn must it be so over the top. I could blame reality T.V shows like Real House wives or Basketball (non)Wives but you know what, I'm not gonna do that cuz it's a cop out. This isn't the first wave of these shows so people know what type of b.s their co signing.

While going about my business on Tweetdeck the amount of filth and trash spewed from the mouths of  women I don't know and women I do know literally hurt my heart. And this is not limited to black women only. This isn't limited to rants about T.V shows. I shake my heads ladies ATTACK each other with force and venom as if they were protecting their only child. So wasted energy......And as I said before we men see it. We speak on it and it factors in big time. Nothing kills a sense of affection more then an unruly, wicked mouthed woman.....

I guess I should hold my breath to long for this behavior to change and just further embrace those I have around me that are able to avoid such acts.

Twitter lands on the BLVD........."End of Days"

What's this!?! A day of dedication the recently formed social networking powerful of this generation?!??! Say it ain't so!!! :( Well no its not that extreme. I think I'd just take a day to drop a few posts inspired or directly related to things coming from my 2 1/2 weeks on twitter. It'll be a mix so lets see how this goes.

One Guy's a Bi*ch and another is kind of a Sni*ch

After hearing all of this I feel a few things.

1. KG while having a great love for the game has been at the center of A LOT of bitch made moves and wannabe tough guy incidents so he is a lil suspect.
2. Charlie has a right to be mad, but running and telling on KG via Twitter makes him look like a digital crybaby and tattle-tail.You that mad then settle it on the floor one way or the other.
3. The media are so hypocritical because they use war terms, cancer comparisons and any number of over the statements to describe sports that many of them never played.
4. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO MAN UP AND STOP BEING SO SENSITIVE!!!

Full story Text after the Jump.

The Boston Celtics pounded the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday, and Charlie Villanueva posted messages on his Twitter account that indicate Kevin Garnett may have made it personal.

One of the tweets says: "KG called me a cancer patient, I'm pissed because, u know how many people died from cancer, and he's tossing it like it's a joke."
Garnett is known for his trash-talking on the court. Villanueva suffers from alopecia universalis, a medical condition that results in hair loss. The Detroit forward does not have hair on his head.
The Pistons confirmed that Villanueva posted the tweets but had no further comment.
Garnett called the incident "a major miscommunication."

Before the Celtics' win over the Bucks on Wednesday he released a statement.

"My comment to Charlie Villanueva was in fact 'You are cancerous to your team and our league,'" Garnett said. "I would never be insensitive to the brave struggle that cancer patients endure. I have lost loved ones to this deadly disease and have a family member currently undergoing treatment. I would never say anything that distasteful. The game of life is far bigger than the game of basketball."
After the game Garnett said: "I'm a passionate player. If you don't like the way I am ... I play this way the last 15, 16 years. I leave it on the court."
 
Villanueva had posted multiple tweets saying that Garnett's alleged comments hit home.

"I wouldn't even trip about that, but a cancer patient, I know way 2 many people who passed away from it, and I have a special place 4 those," the tweet reads.

The "Ignorant Rapper" Poster Boy Strikes again/Ever hear of a phone call Stephen Hill????

BET Hip Hop awards took place this weekend in Atlanta(to be aired on 10/12) and apparently the spokesman for the 2010 "Stay in School" Campaign Waka Flocka's performacne of jumping in the crowd and shaking his dreads left much to be desired in the eyes of BET big wig Steven Hill. This lead to the now common place reaction..........*wait for it*......yes, a Twitter Rant. I'm not mad at Steven HI\ill's view but could not SHOULDN'T this have been handled internally?? It's one thing if a member of the audience did this but as a part of the BET company you don't air out a situation like this that could be easily dealt with without the public involvement.

I dare you....

It's highly disturbing to me the difference between what is said through the wire vs what is actually said through the air......the internet breeds larger digital balls.

No 1 man should have all that Power!!....But what about women????

I came across this and the one question that hit me was what is "power" on twitter anyway?

"These women have gained a tremendous amount of influence on Twitter by amassing a large number of followers, retweets, and memberships on user lists"

What does it mean on a list where Kat Stacks rates far above Janet Jackson?

Adjusting to the growing role of the Social Internets

I'm finding my self more and more over saturated with social media. It's a constant balancing act for someone like me who craves up to date information yet has no real desire to know EVERY thought in a friends mind. I was telling someone that no person is 100% likable. In terms of friends, we have people who agree or are similar to us on a majority of the high value points we have or common interests to warrant interaction. But even your friends, hell your family as well think things that if you knew them would turn you off.

In my opinion, before online socializing it was more likely that you wouldn't learn of this negative traits/thoughts/habits because the expressive channels were limited. You had no way to know what was on a friends mind as they sit on the toilet, party in a club or are on a date. Notice these are all examples that don't really need to have a person updating online status' but we all do it or have done it. It adds to overkill if you ask me. Without purposely trying to do so I end up with little formulas for how I deal with things.

In regards to the online world I have ratios for people. The ratio of useless vs useful, insightful vs. generic, interesting vs. stupid, etc,etc,etc....In addition to that anyone that gets on a roll of consecutive posts about the same thing may result in my cutting off my access to them for awhile. It's really nothing personal I'm just picky when it comes to communication. After awhile I say to myself "Ok I get it!!!" It's similar to how BET re runs the BET Awards 15 damn times. Eventually it does get redundant.


But anyway in the end I think we do need balance of how much we put out and how much we take in. I mean whats worst, the fact that I who you had a booty call with last night or the fact that you actually give that information out to the general public?

Boondocks take over Twitter

I still aint joining but I've bookmarked Riley and Huey's pages and all the other characters....

The Power of "Print Scn".Aint no rules in this.

I've seen it in a few instances.I've seen it done by folk who don't know that I know. And I always wonder, do we own anything that is displayed on our screen. If I'm chatting or in an IM with you do you have assumed ownership of whats on the screen. Is it a matter of, "Well you're willing doing or saying it so I have all the rights to copy it?" Many people do believe that.
How would you feel is conversation of any type was copied and posted publically without your express permission?

Twitter Vs Facebook?

Hmmmm there's some validity to this.

Nerd Moment: Top 10 Tech FAILS of 2009

Social Network Fails, Smartphone Fails, MP3 Fails is all here in this top 10 run down.

Y2-what? Zune gets off to a bad start

Technically it was a New Year's Eve surprise. But many owners of Microsoft's Zune media player started 2009 with little more than a paperweight with LED lights.

At midnight on December 31, all Zune's 30-GB MP3 players froze up. Microsoft explained the problem as a problem with the way the device's internal clock recognized (or didn't recognize) leap years.

The glitch only lasted a day, but didn't help a device that was already failing to gain ground on Apple's iPod.

TwitterPeek fails to pique interest

The reaction of many in the tech community to the release of the TwitterPeek device was a collective, "Huh?"

Sure, there are some people who don't have smartphones and don't want to pay for expensive mobile plans. But is there really a market for a $199 device that does nothing but let you manage yourTwitter feed?

"I already have a $200 device to update Twitter," said one techie we spoke to. "It's called my iPhone."

The folks at Peek, makers of TwitterPeek, had already made the Pronto -- a device that handled only texts and e-mails. Maybe a combination of the two gadgets is in the works. But even then, would enough people be interested? Probably not.

The remaining 8 after the jump.
