SEND…Uh Oh (Now What)

What’s really good people?

It is Super Bowl weekend already? That means February is here and all the Valentines Day absurdity is near. Anywho, I got the team with the most Afrikans (Nigerians) on their squad winning the game. Think am talking crazy? Do the research and find me a team in the past ten years that won the Super Bowl without a Nigerian on their roster. All we doo is WIN! Can somebody also let me know if the “DMV” has now become Florida all of a sudden with all the near 65 degree weather we had in recent weeks. No complaints here but just wanted to know why I invested in a winter coat this year.

Ok people; let me get focused…

I got a question for the people. How many times a day do you hit or click on the SEND/SUBMIT button on your smart-phones, iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Mac laptop or PC? The next time you get bored and want to occupy your minds with something totally unproductive and useless please give it a try by keeping count. Now that I got you thinking a bit, I want you to tally up your count and record how many times you regretted your decision and screamed wishing you could crawl into some cave embarrassed or shamed for your actions.

I recently had an experience of my own on the importance of checking and managing one’s emotions in today’s internet crazed world before clicking that ever so dangerous SEND button. Let’s just say in the course of dealing with incompetent people on a daily basis, every once in a while somebody just finds a way to take you there. And me being who I is; you just have to check that a** on the spot. Especially when their primary motive was to clearly start one of them “Cover your A**” email threads.

Now many of us confront our SEND urges time and time again whenever Emailing, Twitting, Texting and oh yes; the Sexters out there. All can have serious and in some cases disastrous consequences when handled recklessly. Reputations, social lives and future careers can be ruined as a result of a momentary lapse in judgment. It seems like time and time again there is some type of news story about a leaked story. Fact remains whenever you communicate via any of the aforementioned outlets there is a small chance that someone sooner or later shares it with people you never intended it for.  

Here is my list of the things you don’t SEND/SUBMIT over 140 characters or less…

Secrets: It’s a secret for a reason. Ever heard of the forward button? Guess it ain’t no secret no mo.

Birthday wishes: Call “P” old skool or whatever; I just don’t get down like that… A phone call only takes 2 minutes.

Passive Aggressive Behaviors: Any man that has dealt with a female at one point or another in their life will go through this bulls**t.

Condolences: Are like B-Day wishes. Show some KLASS!

The Break-up: GOODLUCK! You better off manning up & handling your BIN-NESS in person.

Respect that REPLY Button.
