I like the pictures and "fotos" here as well as the cool banner thing. I'm not a professional but a perfectionist. You have good hairstyle.

Your behavior on the web can cost you a new job, a promotion, your career, your marriage, your friendships, endorsements, and even take you out of contention for college scholarships, military/law enforcement service, or public office.” And the general attitude in the comments seems to be, “Never voice your opinion about anything you’re not willing to lose your job over.” What’s more alarming is that people seem to not be raising a stink about Big Brother at all — it’s just a fact of life, and we must comply, right?

However, if, for instance, I'm into fetishes, I can go to a fetish club, event, whatever, and no one would know. The difference online is that all my public conversations with my fetish friends are archived and searchable. Therefore, I don't have that privacy online that I would have offline. And it would be lovely to have a part of my life online where I can be myself without constantly worrying about who'll see it and how they'll interpret my actions. Clive, That's an AWESOME idea. My account on Friendster still shows up in some search results, even though 1) I deactivated the account and 2) took down all the information before I did so. However, I don't think it necessarily addresses the overall issue. My personal life still has to be hidden. There isn't an online safe place, where my actions won't affect my professional reputation. Thanks for reading! :) Jany Hey Josh,

But even in your personal life doesn't automatically mean you say, act, and do with out a self censorship, but rather you are acting through your own intentions. It's also about common sense. I guess the problem lies with most people is they aren't congruent in both worlds, especial people in the corporate world. It's hard to hit the pipe on the weekend, stay professional on the weekdays, and keeping it REAL all week long, without worlds colliding. But if you were a conservative, prep, and you wanted to work in the tattoo profession, what you define as Personal vs. Professional would be altered . I guess it all depends on the paradigm you live in. I think personal and professional can find a happy marriage.
