Stage

Posted on October 21 2011 by J.W. Richmond

People who know only the fringes of me sometimes think                        I don’t ever participate                              or I’m shy.      Or if they really have no idea who I am at all,          they might think I’m defiant in some … Continue Reading →

Need

Posted on October 18 2011 by J.W. Richmond

My friend suggested that I don’t tend to ask for help –                        in the middle of things. Maybe afterward, after I’ve cleaned myself up a bit,                        after I’ve come out of the crap a bit                                                             (or a … Continue Reading →

Degree

Posted on October 15 2011 by J.W. Richmond

My life could be such a different life with just one slight movement.                                                                One degree.                                                                One decision. What if I had chosen a different college? Or not gone to college at all? Or dropped out of high school? … Continue Reading →

Trivial

Posted on October 11 2011 by J.W. Richmond

I see God there – for other people.                 Guiding.                 Healing.                 Caring. But the rest of the time, I wonder where He is. Is He like an elusive shooting star that I can’t see if I look for … Continue Reading →

Busted

Posted on October 8 2011 by J.W. Richmond

I am not good at putting myself out there – especially to people I don’t know very well. I admire my friends who are able to be vulnerable                                                         transparent. I tend to gravitate toward them              love them more … Continue Reading →

Scissors

Mannerisms. Facial expressions. Habits. Addictions. Medical/Emotional/Mental illnesses. Feelings. Reactions/Responses. Products of nature or nurture? Probably both. But I hope mostly nurture. Because that means change is possible. So many things get passed down to the next generation(s). Sometimes new stuff … Continue Reading →

Design

Posted on October 2 2011 by J.W. Richmond

I believe God created and designed the world. We are too intricate and detailed to be accidental                                                 by chance                                                      evolved outside of the basic                                                               specified, specific                                                                       species                                                      completely figured out … Continue Reading →

Goals

Posted on September 29 2011 by J.W. Richmond

Goals = fail.           I could qualify that with:                                        sometimes                                        in my life                      or I’m sorta feeling that way – at the moment.                But that’s not the full truth. It’s not that I don’t try (hard). … Continue Reading →

Nuclear

Posted on September 25 2011 by J.W. Richmond

Toom-ayt-o. Tom-ought-o. Ape-ricot. App-ricot. Suppos-ed-ly. Suppos-ab-ly. Nuke-leer. Nuke-you-lure. Right? Wrong? Accent. No accent. North. South. Left. Right. I still know what you mean. When we are in a conversation,      or you are speaking                      writing … Continue Reading →
