"I'll show you the life of the mind …"

Author

Randy Jones

Born in Hopewell, Virginia... Lost in New Bern, NC and F-L-A... Found at the beach. Father. Partner. Writer. Lucero diehard.

The stuff, Days 40, 41 & 42

Life happened, but the purge isn't deterred. First... A cool old Pringles can. When I bought it for a quarter in a thrift store years ago, it had cool old tennis balls inside. Izzy long ago got a hold of... Continue Reading →

The stuff, Day 39

This suitcase doesn't have much to tell. Bought it to go to England and Ireland back in 2011. My buddy Josh made it possible, otherwise I never would've gone. It sat for a while after that, full of old clothes.... Continue Reading →

The stuff, Day 36

This is the meaning of junk. Although, I am sure someone will beg to differ... Pieces of an old cool Volvo. I figured when I moved in to my fiancée's place, I'd sell them for beer money or a movie... Continue Reading →

The stuff, Day 35

Sometimes you realize just how silly the clutching of possessions can be. Here is the chainsaw from a giant Ash (Evil Dead) doll an ex gave me a loooong time ago. I gave the doll to my son a long... Continue Reading →
