The power of the almighty comment

----Written by JesseJanes, green blog writer and future member of Bubblegum Meltdown(hooray).

Today a good friend of mine read some rather distasteful comments which hurt her feelings, to the point of taking down some really great photos that I know we all enjoy. Seeing those photos (and even her comment picture) out there was something really cool to me, because it gave me license to see her every day. Sure, we live close and can pick up a phone to talk. But we both get busy with life, and our visits aren't too often.

I have been in her company more than once, she personafies so many things to me. I admire her, look up to her, envy her. I know it sounds like I'm ass kissing, but it's the total truth and so much more. Her eyes light up when she's excited or amused, her lips tighten when she's upset, and her pout is to die for honestly. Once I even saw her tears well as she got upset. It's a sad look really, and you don't want to witness mascara running. It's just damn depressing.
I could see her in my head making this look tonight as I was reading her latest post. If you haven't seen it, scroll down... it's the one below this one.

Anyway, my point is that we all have these looks. We are unique to these traits and it is different for every one. I for one love the expression of a face, it captures the essence and soul that is the person. We, as humans, classify these expressions with feelings. Yes, feelings. Some of us actually have them.

Being a silent witness all the time (and not finding courage to comment), I notice that my good friend has a tight knit blogger community here. And a wonderful forum for her friends and fans to enjoy not only her pieces of work. But her attitude, her daily strife, and her wonderful vision. When I plug her blog address into my browser and see the comments, I assume there will be chatter. And I have to add that I absolutely love that Emma has her own chat room here! *lol*

For all of her daily readers and friends I have to say thank you so much for your comments to her when she decided not to post any more pictures. I know to some this issue seems so trivial... but I think that when you approach it out of the box (so to speak), you get the overall jist of it.

Which, if you think outside the box like I do, you will see it this way:

A comment on somebody's blog is a very powerful thing. It has the power to enhance somebody's day, or break it into pieces. Blogs are such a personal forum for most, and when somebody presents themselves out there for the world it can get a little well -scary- (for lack of a better term).

You don't have to always be kind.
But if you don't have any thing nice to say? Don't say it at all! Sarcasm does not project well in type. Often what one person may deem as a joke is not at all.

Even more often when some asshole comes around and feels jealous, cocky, or traffic hungry they will leave some dunb ass comment just to do it. Because yes, I guess it feels good to them. Personally it just doesn't make a bit of sense to me.
Comments are for genuine responses. I think that we all agree on that.

Let's remember that there's a time and a place to be an asshole. Apparently for some of you people it's in traffic lately. Or at the god damn grocery store when all I wanted was a fire log.


Since Emma won't post her HNT, and it wouldn't be right with out her. I'm taking the initiative to post a picture she sent me this last weekend (when she couldn't figure out which HNT pic to post).
I am sure that she will most likely yank it off, or get upset at me. I'm willing to take that risk because I don't believe listening to some fucktards (did I spell that right sugarpunk), decided to take a break from mouth-breathing to formulate a shitty comment should mean a puddle of piss to my good friend. She's absolutely fucking cool as hell.



So here. Happy HNT all, and Happy Thanksgiving from Jesse!
