Friends In Low Places
I've received blog comments and emails daily from people asking when I was going to comment on a very good friend of mine who was recently arrested. I had hoped to not comment at all, to let the mindless chatter be relegated to a blog that is barely visited and would be receiving no attention at all without this gossip, but when The Sword told me they'd be doing a story with or without my commentary today, I decided to put in my two cents on the haters. You can read that here: http://bit.ly/rS25X
All I can say is he's a friend and I miss him way more than I ever expected to. When I have moments of celebration in my life like today (see: "News Desk" story about signing on as C1R's publicist), I feel like there is a missing link in the small inner circle of friends with whom I personally share those moments. Unlike a lot of his friends, I had more quiet moments with him than the wild and crazy adventures. We went to the movies together every week. We had lunches where we would vent about everything wrong in our lives. We watched the entire "Star Wars" trilogy curled up on his couch the day after Christmas. I miss those times. I miss him. I hope to see him soon.
P.S.: I also consider the person who is trying to bring him down in his blog a friend and I wish he'd find a way to let go of his anger and find some peace within himself so he wouldn't feel the need to lash out. Whatever their history together, kicking someone when they're down and can't defend themselves when he's had the opportunity to confront him for so long seems sad and tells me he must be going through an equally hard time in his life right now. I wish him the best and hope to see him soon too.

"But for those who are now coming out of the woodwork at a time when he can't even defend himself I think is total pussy-like behavior."
I have to applaud you for that statement.
No matter what Seth has been charged with he is a US citizen and deserves to have his case played out in court. Not on blogs that are designed specifically to be a vehicle for someone's revenge, hate or loathing.
We have all had friends that eventually get in to trouble. I had one this past year who I had to defend tirelessly against people that had HALF the story but chose to slam him to make themselves feel better about their pitiful selves.
You keep speaking out Jason. It is the people that cannot defend themselves against the scum bloggers out there that need people like you to speak out- especially when you can get it out like you did in the Sword piece.
Congrats on the position with C1R- Chi Chi could not have made a better choice.
Jason I too commend you for standing up for your friend when it clearly does nothing but put you in an awful position. You are very brave to do so and obviously stand up for those who are close to you which is more than people can say for Seth after some of the ratting out he has done. Good for you.
we all see drugs as recreational but there's always blood on the money somewhere down the line.
i'm glad there's one less option for people to get fucked up if accusations are true. i'm not glad for SA but helen keller coulda seen this shit coming. It was blatant.
