Thing #7

Do you know that feeling you get when you are speaking to someone and they remind you that you have something to add that, in your opinion anyway, will rock their world and cause them to pound their head with their palm as to say: "why didn't I think of that?" Well, that's how I have felt as I have been reading some of these blogs. I patiently read through the blog and the comments that followed only to release THE response. Commenting just feels right, now that I had learned the correct way to do it thanks to Cool Cat. I didn't dare to be the Darth Commenter that she describes in her blog. I found that it easy to get sucked into the pessimism train that follows a Darth Commenter, but I wanted the author to know that I "heard" him, so I changed my tone and sent a positive comment that I am sure everyone will read and thank me later for posting. Seriously, as I was reading through the Dallas Cowboys blog, it was alarming how many Darth Commenters there were. I wonder if they would still be Darth Commenters if the Cowboys were 4-0? Just a thought.

  1. It reminds me of the news station we watch in the mornings:Fox4. They have a segment they run on Fridays that airs everyone's opinions of the week. I can hardly watch it anymore. It is frightening to think about some of these people walking around the metroplex, so negative and angry at the world. I still have a hard time posting something that is not positive. People always read more into it than they should, just like email.

  2. It's funny you say that, I was just about to read too much into what you were writing. :)
