Uncle Jim: January 2009
http://thejamesdotcom.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2009. I don't know where to begin. Last Thursday I experienced something I never would have thought that i would. I watched my world burn before my eyes. It's a bit surreal to be honest. almost as if it didn't happen, but the burns on my arm and the memories I cannot seem to shake hold me in my reality. My brother and his family? The moment I dreaded arrived, my brother found me. I didn't want him to see me the way I was. I didn't want him to know that I, his younger brothe...I kno...

Uncle Jim: Here
http://thejamesdotcom.blogspot.com/2009/10/here.html
Saturday, October 24, 2009. Inspired by a burning idea,. In seconds grasping at the embers of a once bright flame. Too much sleep has replaced too little. Can't seem to win, another lecture on the horizon. Thoughts, pictures, words racing desiring to find their place,. But there is no place? In the grand scheme of things". What about the not so grand schemes? So many steps too take, that the first lies in a mass of obscuria. So long having floated, too light to reach the bottom and walk.

Uncle Jim: Blue Ribbon
http://thejamesdotcom.blogspot.com/2009/09/blue-ribbon.html
Wednesday, September 23, 2009. The girl with the blue ribbon in her hair. The big brown eyes and the pretty smile,. How she turns her face for pictures. When pessimism overruns, she helps to. All that was twisted inside, she made to unravel. Is high, and the same. She turns the day upside down. And draws a picture. Her words pierce and carry,. Flooded with caring and desire. Creative and then some, being around her. Causes warmth and hope. She sees the positives, and helps you to see.

Uncle Jim: Masks
http://thejamesdotcom.blogspot.com/2008/12/masks.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. You see what I desire you to notice. It changes as my mood alters. Differing emotions, feelings, wants. The real is rarely seen, if at all. Would anyone recognize or care? Glimpses-observed through the chips. An insight of what is actually there. Few have seen, fewer more will. Sour flavored, sweet tasting, brings a smile or distaste,. I am what you see I am, but not seeing what else. Loquacious to a fault, serves purpose for the time. Stay awhile longer, this mask will prevail.

Uncle Jim: Call girl...or guy
http://thejamesdotcom.blogspot.com/2009/07/call-girlor-guy.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. Call girl.or guy. You call when you need, than you don't call again. I'm supposed to be there. To listen, to tell, to inspire, to be. I'm gone again after that, until you need again. You can't do it without me, and it makes you mad. As if it's my fault. You talk, and you wiggle, you don't listen. And then I'm blamed for the wrong choice. I am a simile, its like James' fault. It's the same old story, new and used, with a different flavor. I bend under the weight of my own pressure.

Uncle Jim: March 2009
http://thejamesdotcom.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 9, 2009. My dad bought me one. My brother gave me the other. I cherished these two. Not for ascetic beauty,. Or that they were intricate to my life. But because they meant a lot to me. Time elapsed around the simple act. My dad teaching me, my brother helping me. I can re buy a new one,. Yet it would not be the same. I have had them since high school,. And have spent incalculable time. Of use with them. Of all things that were lost,. These are some of the hardest for me.

Uncle Jim: Puzzle
http://thejamesdotcom.blogspot.com/2009/12/puzzle.html
Sunday, December 13, 2009. There are so many pieces, I can't tell what the end will look like. I start with the sides and build the framework that will house the story. Frustration mounts at times when I cannot seem to find the right pieces to fill in the gaps. Elation abounds when I do. Slowly as I fit more and more together I start to see the. Where the puzzle is going. I catch a glimpse of the whole. There is still so much more work to create the picture that all will see, and even then who knows.
