just

there can only be one?
   just this
   or that
   please just...

how did this word happen- nike?
i'll indict adverbs in general.

don't like this word.
a desperate quick fix, always has one more just.


just lost.
   when it wasn't just whatever.


justice, justification, justin
    capable, thoughtful.

unjust and fullness, live together.

a recent road trip

my wife and i just moved from waco, texas to richmond, virginia. we drove- two vehicles, she in her car, and i in the rental moving truck. currently an excessive selection of memoirs and such from road trips offer fantastic reflections of what it's like to hit the open road in some capacity.  further, much of the music that i consider great, was likely written and refined on the road.  personally, i often find myself thinking about the interconnectedness of roads, highways, interstates, driveways and even sidewalks- not in a religious tone, but in a structural sense.  that's a huge construction.  its hard for me to imagine a larger, more expansive project... instead of a poem from the trek, id like to make a confession.  "i could be a trucker." the thickness of my beard, lacking;  my rough-neck attitude, sub-par;  my bladder, shallow.  many of my long-haul trucker archetypes do not align with the profession.  but t...

financial reports indicate the comanche, texas newspaper is projecting bankruptcy next year after the loss of their one and only customer.  i suspect a drop in ear plug sales across the metroplex. i am also told that parked cars, street signs, and garage doors everywhere sighed with relief when "granny" died.  i will forever wish that i had a picture of the rear end of her car that "she never hit anyone with." "when you  remember  me,  it  means  that  you  have  carried  something  of  who  i  am  with  you,  that  i  have  left  some  mark  of  who  i  am  on  who  you  are.  it  means  that  you  can  summon  me  back  to  your  mind  even  though  countless  years  and  miles  may  stand  between  us. ...

i was asked to share regarding a pair running shoes i picked up nearly a year ago. i'm all about pleasing the people. after a couple years of running, here are a few of my shoe observations: shoes and injury are siblings. and if you spent time in arkansas (or in west virginia for my rva friends), you know how special the sibling relationship can really be. running shoes have a shelf life, rather a half-life.  you can run x00 miles in a pair before you hang them up, but they are still good to do stuff. but shoes, like people, can loose that loving feeling. things and shoes cost money. i realize that many people are not into the pay to run thing. all good. i'm down with fiscal responsibility, fewer regulations and the gospel. neon colors are totally in right now. it's safe; it's fun; it's a reminder that the 80's were really on to something. patches o'houlihan said running is all about: sweat, water, salt, bananas. and sweat. cracked sidewalks, ar...
