I can’t get into the social networking service Twitter. I have no interest in reading endless twits from self-indulgent individuals detailing what they had for breakfast. They should have named the service ‘fritter’ instead — as in frittering away your mundane life online.
But loyal reader S.Joy keeps up with singer Solange Knowles on her Twitter. So she sent me this pic that Solo posted this morning of her boyfriend on Venice Beach. What I find weird — besides the fact that the boyfriend seems very suspect — is Solo strangely refers to the boyfriend as “he.”
Now I realize today’s young’ns have odd ways of expressing their mutual affection for each other, but I always thought objectifying your mate was a male thing? Like when males assign pet names to a woman’s body parts. But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised: Solo always did seem to have more testosterone pumping through her veins than her sister Beyonce — though they both have bass in their voices and excessive body hair.
Anyway, Solo seems to be happy with “he”. Unfortunately, I don’t see this union lasting very long. A strong relationship requires two mature and responsible adults to make it work. And we already know that Solo is neither mature nor responsible.
If Im not mistaken… this wasn’t ‘he’ this was some guy dancing….I follow her on twitter….
Wait a cotton picking minute. I thought you liked Solo. What the heck happened? Anyway, you didn’t say how she was using “he”. I mean it is a pronoun that describes a man. As for the pic it is not the clearest shot of old dude. I’ve seen others and I don’t recall thinking he looked gay, but one thing’s for sure he is definately older.
Reaching Sandra are we??? It’s not that serious. When blog etc, people refer to their husbands and boyfriends as “the boyfriend” or “the husband”.
i thought you like solo too.
i am so rooting for this girl…still…but gonna need for her to stop being so frigging strange. why do i get that vibe from her?
THAT IS NOT “HE”, SHE HAS REFERRRED TO HER BOYFRIEND BY NAME, SO IF THIS PERSON TRULY FOLLOWS HER ON TWITTER THEY WOULD KNOW, WHO “HE” IS . HER “HE” IN ACTUALITY REALLY IS ALAN FERGUSON AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED ON THE INTERNET. SHE MAY HAVE SLIPPED WHEN TWITTER WIHT PETE WENTZ BUT SHE DID USE HIS NAME.
ztnewetep Me and alan met him!!! But I’m sure he’s full of personality now:)
I’m kinda glad that your NOT on Twiiter Sandy…I love it!
How does one Twitter anyway? I am so out of the loop no facebook, myspace or twitter
not up on twitter….i have facebook and myspace tho.
@ Daisy- sign up for an account w/ user name and then start typing short messages of what you’re doing etc… then you can follow celebs etc and send messages
Its a cool networking tool
I think I signed up for Twitter out of boredom. Same with Facebook and Myspace. In an effort not to forget my passwords, I log in maybe once a week. So, Daisy, you aren’t missing much hon!
Daisy…Twitter is hot garbage. Facebook is a networking tool. All Twitter allows you to do is write what you’re doing at any given moment of any given day. It’s so pointless. Who cares when P. Diddy is having 8 hr sex marathons with randoms unnamed chicks or Solange with her random thoughts. You’re really not missing a thing!
This blog is getting less and less popular. The comments are dwindling. Posts like this should be a good indication why.
Auntie Sandra —- u were called out via Twitter. Solange stated that is not ‘he’
