DaBate goes on....and da beat goes on....

Facebook etiquette. Could this be something that everyone in the world must read before even signing up for an account. I guess if there was such a rule, then, a person would feel restricted in what they could and could not type out to the world. So I guess this goes more in the file that is marked "being conciderate". Most facebook postings are not well thought out, revised drafts that have been read out loud,and posted with a good grade. FB is spontanous as f*ck. Now this brings me to something that Martin, my dearest beloved boyfriend, has mentioned. "Facebook is just a way to wreck someone and their relationships with others". How true. Let's talk about family. I currently have two brother in laws that are in odds with eachother over FB postings that have to do with what one feels is inconciderate of another's 'feelings'. This is in my last post...about the quickie engagement to a jane doe nobody knows. If some 'bachelor' pics werent blasted all over fb..that well, just showed how not included the other brother was. Then more pics of a certain s.o's spring break popped all over and again, more aggravation. Not at all intended to be...but...thank you FB. I admit, I was not so much on FB until 2010. 2009 was full of party pics with my yuma friends....but nothing scandalous.And once I moved here...MY FB world went into a new era "Being conciderate of Martin". I mean, he doesnt even have a FB. He refuses. And I love mine because it keeps me connected to 80% of the world that lives far from me. The most important person in my life, besides myself, is Martin. So now, my life including fb postings are with concideration to him. I dont do anything that will make him angry..on purpose. Recently, it's not what my friends post..but what family is posting. like siblings. like it's ok to post certain things and not get an angry phone call regarding it. Why post it to the world and not let a more important person know...since it's more of a personal matter. ahhh..it's a neverending debate.

Ever After

In reference to the Grouch & Eligh song. One of the best Living legends songs of all time. Sooo, how should one feel if a sibling of theirs, a close sibling of theirs, was getting married to a person that no one frm the fam had met? This sounds like a subplot of movies...but, it's something that my family in law is going through. One of my brother-in laws, who is pretty much my brother (all there off them are the best brothers one can have)..and is in the ARMY, has found himself a girl that he wants to marry. Granted he is only 21...and this is his first year in the ARMY...but according to him, she is the one. Anyway, besides the fact that not a single member of his family has met her...the wedding is next weekend and only the bride's family will be present. The wedding is in washington state, and his fam is in South texas...there's a language barrier because his parents only speak spanish, and hers only english..yeah...so my in laws were not comfortable at all being somewhere, where they just werent going to understand what was going on. And now, one of the brothers is disowning him for not waiting longer to get married. This brother that is disowning is currently deployed in Afhganistan...ahh..the complications of family life. But what can you do.
