Facebook...

Here is a little peak into my life. I smile whenever I log on to my Facebook account, usually. Why?, because this is what I see:


Lots of activity and posts from my family and friends. No drama, everyone I cannot stand is blocked. Pictures of good times. Yes, I know Facebook is tracking my every move and reporting my likes and dislikes to advertisers. I'm not posting or going to any places online that I want privacy rules to respect. I am a tech star, I know how to hide if I want to do so ;).

If you know me, you know I say everything happens for a reason. It does. You're reading my blog right now for a reason. Hopefully that reason is you're interested in me and what I have to say. Thank you. If you're just being nosy, thank you also. It's okay, as long as I don't have a restraining order against you.

Peace, love, and light to you all.

Besos,
Monica

Privacy!

There has been so much in the news and social media about privacy. Bottom line, if you're posting information on the internet, it is NOT private. I highly suggested everyone signup for the FTC's newsletter. It's amazing what can and will happen to us if we are not alert and on top of our rights and responsibilities. We are fair game for any shady company, debt collector or hacker.

"A consumer who has no problem revealing her browsing history to advertising companies targeting their pitches to her interests may feel very differently about the collection of that information if it’s going to the financial company deciding whether to give her a mortgage, or the health insurer setting her rates, or the prospective employer determining her career path."
Jon Leibowitz, FTC Chairman

Photography

I recently stumbled upon Rikki Mendias on http://www.vimeo.com . He's a talented photographer and the star, cinematographer, and camera operator of one of my favorite new videos:


Drake - "Marvin's Room" Unofficial Video from @IVAN_RunJuly on Vimeo.

In this more recent video he's the star and the director of photography.



Rikki's going to be my unofficial tour guide when I'm in California for Spring Break 2012. He just doesn't know it yet ;).




His videos and photographs pull you in. When I visited his website http://www.rikkspikks.com I was mesmerized with his work. Rikki Mendias is someone to get to know. You won't be disappointed.

Want more Rikki?

A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste!

How appropriate that this is my 100th blog post. I woke up to this nonsense on my Facebook this morning. These are the two messages that were left from my ex's "friend". I wish I could tell you that I made these up. Notice the spelling errors and the irrational thought processes going on. Thanks for the laugh!



JUST KNOW YOU STARTED THIS. I NEVER KNEW WHY YOU HATED ME SO MUCH , BUT I JUST TALKED TO N AND HIS GIRLFRIEND AND HE EXPLAINED A LOT TO US. SO I GUESS NOW MY FEELINGS OF ANGER TOWARDS YOU JUST TURNED TO PITY.
