I wonder, behind stalwart countenance of these beach goers what lurks in the murky darkness of their brain’s membrane. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did they hurt someone they loved? Did they do it because they needed to know that someone cared enough about them to be damaged by their misgivings. Do they, when sinking their toes into the cool sand of high tide, think about the things they left undone: the lovers left clothed, the lies they lived and the greatness they never realized?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And finally, the tide returns and as the water licks their feet do they yearn to melt into it crying, &lt;em&gt;“Yes: I am flawed and bruised.  My soul is a wrecked, wretched shell, but incorrigible I am not.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.jamesnord.com/post/1037447972</link><guid>http://www.jamesnord.com/post/1037447972</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:30:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>falloutof:

&lt;p&gt;1. Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Biologically &lt;a href="http://www.jamesnord.com/post/584409030/happy-mothers-day-when-we-were-young-we-gave" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.jamesnord.com/post/576210689/papanord-happy-birthday-james-as-a-boy-we-would" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, physically &lt;a href="http://www.jamesnord.com/post/82562297/falloutof-true-snow-in-atlanta-wow-cool-to" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and philosophically &lt;a href="http://www.jamesnord.com/post/21336673/eggers-rant" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, sartorially &lt;a href="http://www.jamesnord.com/post/481730560/falloutof-if-any-of-you-are-wondering-where" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. How I started riding was I got into watching pro racing and thought I would give it go. What did I think of it? It is hard to look back on the days when I was impressed with myself for riding 30 or 40 miles. I remember feeling free and light, and I remember liking that a lot. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. ….&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Short answer, no. Longer answer: I am a believer in self-awareness and knowing oneself. I understand my strengths almost as good as my weaknesses. I always thought I was good enough at guitar and singing to &lt;a href="http://www.jamesnord.com/post/82589881/me-kids-mgmt-cover-i-recorded-a-cover-of-kids" target="_blank"&gt;impress&lt;/a&gt; my friends when they have been drinking, but never good enough to make a go at it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. I have said it before: &lt;a href="http://www.jamesnord.com/post/680251011/ive-been-a-runner-for-a-while-with-a-3-23-09-boston" target="_blank"&gt;miles&lt;/a&gt;. You have to get that 1,000 mile base in your legs before you will see much in the way of results. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7. I run the US Marketing efforts for &lt;a href="http://imagesource.com" target="_blank"&gt;Image Source&lt;/a&gt; and I am enjoying it immensely. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8. I don’t, I try my best to get lost, sometimes it works. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9. See answer #2. 26.&lt;/p&gt;
