What Does Janessa See? Pt. 3

I think this girl is so cute. The wrinkles by her eyes and her hand.

I appreciate the yellow too. Her dress and the flowers.

Yellow is a color of happiness and that is what this picture radiates.

How did she get down there anyway?

Is she lying next to the boy of her dreams?

Did he tell her something funny about their science teacher?

Did she fall? and in her bewilderment, she found the situation...humorous?

Was she acting out a play? 

Was she Juliet in her flower-woven crown?

I have this weird eyebrow fetish...and this girl are awesome eyebrows.

Everyone knows brunettes have brains.

This girl has beauty, happiness, and laughter.

What Does Janessa See? Pt. 2

Most people condemn smokers. I admit it causes horrid breath, yellow teeth, bad health, and the odor clings to everything. The ones who amaze me are people who think smokers are less than them because of one particular habit/choice.

Though you might see me as being irrelevant, I disagree. This picture ignites anger in me. Anger because ignorant judgments are the root to racism, genocides, and hate crimes. The same tiny opinion about smoking can lead to something as drastic as the Holocaust. Maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but that's how I feel about it.

You can tell by his body language that he is either having a rough day, or a rough life.
Shoulders drooped. Back hunched. Arms resting on his thighs.
Maybe he just lugged all those sacks of potatoes (and onions?) to the spot they now remain.
They're waiting; plain and lonely. Because let's face it, it's not like potatoes are...cheesecake or anything.
No one gets ridiculously excited to see potatoes.
Maybe that's how this man feels. Plain and lonely. Rough day? Rough life? Doesn't matter.
His cigarette there is his only ally for the moment. And until you're at the point where the only perk in your day is slowly inhaling a cloud of black, poisonous smoke to make you feel better, I don't think anyone has the right to judge.
