I'm not going to lie--it has been one of those weeks. You might think that, after taking last week off from writing for Top Comments, I'd have a wonderful essay topic lined up for tonight. You'd be wrong. The research trip last week exhausted me, and then I started going through the stuff I collected this week. I've been sitting in front of my laptop almost all day, and no creative juices are flowing.
What I'd like to do tonight, however, is showcase somebody else's creativity. While I'm not especially into art (see: my near-complete ignorance of art), I do enjoy those YouTube videos of speed paintings, in which you can watch an artist paint something amazing in a few minutes. This video is like that, but the digital artist illustrates a woman's entire life, from baby to elder, in a little over four minutes. It's beautiful and moving and just something you have to see. Watch to the end. And then follow me to the tops...

Thanks to tonight's Top Comments contributors! Let us hear from YOU
when you find that proficient comment.
From madame defarge:
This comment by MoDem about yesterday's vote in Scotland certainly deserves many points...for relevance, snarkiness, and humor.
From gizmo59:
This comment from G2geek had a lot to say about the evolution (or, more accurately, devolutution) of society and its pathologies during the past half century. From disinterested spectator's rescued post Books That Changed My Life—The Organization Man.
From Denise Oliver Velez:
I'd like to nominate this comment in Black Kos by renzo capetti with suggestions about how law enforcement could gain more community trust.
