So I don't know exactly how many people read my blogs. I get views on blogspot, I get views on Facebook, and I get views on Myspace as well. The only place where I can tell how many people read and it actually matters is myspace because nobody uses a blogspot really, but I don't really get on myspace too much to care any more...
But what I do know is that I do have some readers. Not as many as I would like probably, but some is better than none. It really drives me up a wall whenever I see that someone has viewed it but didn't comment. I really want to know what people think of my writing. I think people open up the page and get scared to read it by the look of how long it may be. Oh well... Their loss...
But sometimes people do tell me what they think, and I don't get negative responses. If I did, I would fix where I don't do so well, or just stop writing all together, but that's not a problem.
Recently a friend of mine that I work with was telling me about how she read my blog entitled "My Intervention" and told me that it inspired her to quit smoking. As simple as this is it really did give me a lift. The blog was something I wrote for me, talking about how I plan to better myself, and I inspired someone to better themselves. Not that I see anything wrong with smoking or have a problem with it, I just think it's a bad habit and find it unattractive. Especially on girls. And I know that it is very hard to give up on, kudos to you people who do.
What I got from this is that I am actually making an impact on someone who reads what I write, and even though it's only one person that has told me about how I helped them better themselves, it's good enough for me. I'd like to have that kind of impact on everyone I meet but I realize that that is a bit outrageous. Just to know that something as simple as a blog, as long as a couple pages of paper, could make someone want to better themselves... That's good stuff.
I don't get paid to do this, I'm not a motivational speaker or writer or whatever, I just do it because it is one thing that I can put my heart into and something I can enjoy and be 100% real about. That's funny because I hear people tell me that I should look into journalism, make this a career. That would be nice to get paid to do something that I absolutely love doing but when you really absolutely love doing something, you do it for free.
Of course I do it for free. And I can't help but try to more when I realize that I can make an impact with my words.
"You get what you pay for" it is only true with materialistic things. Free advice can be worth everything if you get it from the right people
You can say all the right things, but they aren't worth a thing unless you mean it.
Until something else inspires me, I stay waiting...

Warm Summer Nights
Remember that old saying, "You want what you can't have" or some bullsh*t like that? Of course you do, we all do. And we all probably think it's a bunch of.. well, bullsh*t lol.
I know I do, well did atleast. The truth is self-evident now.
I remember, few months back, I kinda had this thing for this one girl and I think she had a thing for me in return but I'm not really sure, that's not the point anyways really. We talked a little bit, texted eachother a lot, and saw eachother a lot too at work lol. Well we never had a relationship. I'm not saying I wanted one, I really just wanted to get to know her a little better (she was one of those secretive types), but she thought I wanted to get with her. We was talkin' one night after we was sure that we didn't have anykind of realationship happening and I remember her saying "You only wanted me because you couldn't have me." I was like damn, that kinda f*cked up lol. It wasn't true of course because I did like her kinda, and didn't really want the realtionship for sure either. It just made me mad because I'm not the kind of person to what something just cause I can't have it.
Well I know that I was right but I'm starting to think that I do want somethings just because I can't have them.
Highschool is a little bit of sh*tty this year, mainly becuase I don't have my three-anegroes around to hold me down. When they are in town, I'm tryin' to kick it with them everyday. Who wouldn't wanna hang with their closest homies when you don't get too as much as the good ol' days? Here is the thing, even though I spend the majority of my kickin' it time with these dudes, before they got shipped out, I didn't feel the need to hang out with them every weekend and when they were in town for a few good weeks over the holidays, I didn't always hang out with them either. I see now that I want these guys around a lot more because they are not around. I'm sure they miss everybody back here too, even though when they spend a lot of time with them, they get annoying.
I hate walking anywhere. Always have since I got a whip, never walked much since I got in highschool anyways, except for my freshman year and a little bit of the summer afterwards when Mike and me used to do it all the time for the hell of it. No, I'm not talkin' about wanting to drive when I can't, that's a terrible example because everyone has that feeling. I'm talkin' about warm summer nights. This winter has been damn cold, it is really making me miss the summer more that ever, the summer that I CAN'T HAVE RIGHT NOW!!! Ugh.... Pissin' me off... Like I said, I hate walking but nothin' quite beats a nice walk in the perfect weather of a summer night. Even just walkin' out in my back yard and stickin' my feet in the pool, sh*t is lovely. But ya know what, can't even do it right now. IT IS SO F*CKIN' COLD! I hate the winter...
Well I hate it when it is just cold. Winter serves no purpose to me if there is no snow. And guess what, it has only snowed and stuck... once. Here atleast. It definitely did make last night a lot more interesting though. I hit a curb in my car when I lost control while I was taking Matt to Frank's and thought I broke something but I didn't thankfully. And playing in the snow with Kels and Aleisha and some other peoples was pretty fun (view pics on facebook lol). I would definitely trade the fun in the snow for fun in the sun that's for sure.
It's just ironic how just about a month ago I had something taken away from me that I really cared about. I was sh*tty and wanted it back, but I couldn't have it. Few weeks later, I could have it, but I had already moved on and didn't really care to have it back. Seems like I wanted it only because I couldn't have it. Now I'm not sure how I feel about that. I kinda want it, but i feel as if it has less value than it had at first. I feel like I'm not bothered too much by not having it. Should I feel like an ass hole for not waiting around? Naw... Definitely not.
Here's another saying that a lot of us think of as bullsh*t..."It's all about wanting what you've got..." or some other bullsh*t like that. I know I didn't get those entirely right, but everyone who reads knows what I'm getting at.
I think the whole thing goes like "It's not about wanting what you can't have, It's about loving what you've got."
Sounds pretty good to me... I think that's what I'm gonna be about. It's what we all need to be about, and sometimes all we need to do is be thankful for what we do have.
Don't pass up on something you have already because you think you can have something that is possibly better. You might get around to realizing that you let a good thing go. When you try to go back and get it, it might not be there anymore.
You can always want more, but can't always have it. And you can always, ALWAYS have less...
Marinate on that...

My Intervention (Getting Real With Myself)
So I'm just gonna put this out there, I'm one of the realest people, if not the realest person I know. Yeah, sounds a little cocky, which I'm not trying to be but that's the way it came out. I'm real with everybody, about everything. And no, it hasn't always been that way but I have been the person that I am for well over a year now so it's probably been about that long. I've been the Alex Jordan Richey that I am since early in my junior year of highschool. Since I guess you could say I found where I belong and the friends in which I belong with. My niche.
No more little Alex Richey the little boy that is sad on the inside all the time and don't talk to many people if anyone at all about it, instead spills pain through the pen onto the personal little notebook or onto the keyboard typing blogs about how sh*tty I am feeling at the time. That's not me anymore, nor has that been me for a while now. I birthed a new me, evolved I guess but of course I didn't turn into a perfect person, just a better one. But nobody is perfect, duh...
I became a real person, and a really happy person most of time. No, I haven't completely changed, I'm still Alex Richey and I will always be me. There will always be some of me that most people don't know, but they really don't need to either. I'm still capable of blowing minds by writing an incredible blog about how I feel on a topic, by letting people get a sample of what goes on in my head which is more complex than most. I assure you that... There is definitely a lot goin' on up there.
But rewind to the top for a minute. There is something wrong, that's why I'm having this "intervention" with myself. Like I said, I'm one of the realest people you will ever meet, that's just who I choose to be. I'm real with everyone.... Everyone except myself.
That's right!!!!! Little ol' me is the only one I lie to. I'm real and honest with everybody but I just caught myself today, being unreal, and untrue to myself. Letting my mind try to convince me of things that aren't right for me. Not one thing in specific but I realized that I haven't been real with myself in a lot of ways but I'm real with everyone else in everyway.
I was listening to my Charles Hamilton today (that's everyday now lol) and it was the "Intervention" mixtape actually and I caught this line he said in one of his songs called "Supernatural Vacation" it said...
"The only person I gotta worry about being real to is me."
I was like "Damn, this dude has a point. Why didn't I think of that?" And that's not even what inspired me to write this today, I was already thinkin' about doin' it, that just gave me a little extra push I guess.
So I decided that that is what I'm gonna do, kinda. I'm not gonna change the way I am to other people, I'm still gonna be 100% real. No fake sh*t because I can't stand fake people and I don't want to be something I hate. I'm not saying that I hated myself before I got hit with this epiphany because I wasn't fake to anyone but myself, therefore I didn't realize. Blind to it I guess.
Now I see, and now I have found myself. I'm no longer going to let outside forces influence who I am. I'm going to be influence by Alex Jordan Richey. Can't really ask for a better person to be influenced by lol.
I'm writing in the sky now, leaving a positive impression on everything I touch.
I have started to figure out what I want to do with my life, post high school. I know I plan on attending the University of Evansville and I was pretty sure that it was set in stone, until I got my report card last week. I had a 2.7 gpa. I TWO POINT MUTHA F*CKIN SEVEN! Seriously, I'm so much smarter than that, it was just one class that f*cked me. Now this is an example of where I was being unreal with myself. I was letting the outside forces influence my work in the classroom. Someone who is real with themselves wouldn't allow something like that to happen. Now I gotta pick up slack, make sure I bust my ass to make up for my f*ck up. Gotta be real with myself and do what's best for number one, me duh...
I didn't know what was going on with me, now I have an idea.
Like I was thinking about some of the stuff I do, I might sound so nice to other people but I realize how stupid I sound to myself. This is me, I sometimes let a little too much of my personal side out to people, but that's just me being real to them and I try to get people to open up in return but not everybody is gonna be real with you in return so it don't always happen. People tell me about how they got sh*t going on in their head that bothers them too. I tell them that it is okay to cry. Which it is, crying is a healthy process that the body undergoes to relieve stress. We should do it. Then they ask me if I do.... Well no, not really. Then I realize what a hypocrite I am. I tell people that it is okay to let your emotions out, and be real with themselves, and here I am. I haven't cried since 8th grade when Bailey died. And I balled my eyes out in school. I ain't gonna lie about it because I loved that damn dog lol. But seriously, who am I to try to tell people what they should do because it is better for them and I don't even do whats best for me? Unbelieveable...
Time to get real with me...
Today somebody told me that I have girl problems... No not quite, I told them that girls have a problem with me. They were talkin' bout how I'm usually unsure about my female situation. Which is true but at the same time I don't consider it my problem because I know what I want, but most females never know what they want. Sorry ladies, but it's true. WELL... Today I feel like I realized another flaw. No, I will not correct myself on what I just wrote but I feel like I don't want these things quite as much as I thought. Instead after some thought, and a talk with my girl Cassy after school today who seemed to know more about what I wanted then I knew myself. Well I'm more sure now than ever on what I want to do about this topic. Time to get real with me. It's about doin' what makes me happy and what is the best for me.
I'm finally a 100% real dude and I'm surrounded with real.
My friend Brandon once said "Today is a gift, that's why they call it the present."
Now you can interpret this in anyway you like too. Like, tomorrow is not promised to us so we gotta make the best of today and every day. That type of thing. Or you can think about those days, like I had today. I really learned something about myself, something that is gonna help me live my life to the fullest. Now what kinda gift is better than that?
If you took time to read My Intervention, I appreciate it, REAL TALK lol. I'm just trying to improve me and I hope that seeing me become better might just help somebody else do the same.
The hardest thing to find is yourself, but you will never find a treasure of greater value.
I think I'm gonna write that in the sky...

It Ranks Up There In The Top Five Best and Worst Days Lol
Oh kayy so I'm sitting here on the computer as usual... It's an everyday thing for us all, we're physically challenged but not technologically. I dunno if thats good or bad. At this current moment I wish I was a WHOLE LOT more physically fit lol.
So yesterday was Kelsey's birthday and I spent the entire night with her pretty much. I dunno what to call us at this point but I know we have fun together, especially yesterday lol. Yesterday being her birthday and being her birthday we went to do her most favorite thing in the world and something that I have never done, snowboarding. Paoli Peaks midnight madness.
So being the confident person that I am I was really looking forward to it, how hard could it be right? And I used to skateboard... not much of a difference right? Just you don't get off the board but snow feels a hell of a lot more better that the concrete right? WRONG!!!
Sh*t was hard lol...
I've never busted my ass so many times in my life... I thought I had sprained my wrist a couple times too lol... Plus I smacked my head on the ground more than enough times and the snow is not as gentle as it seems. Plus I got plowed over by some skiier when I was actually gettin' the hang of it lol.
But don't get me wrong, it was so fun.
Well, once I got going of course lol. I was afraid to go fast most of the time but who wouldn't be? After I learned how to slow down and stop I was a lot more confident on the board. Not to mention while I look like a damn fool, Kelsey is lookin' like the female Shawn White lol. But on a real note, I haven't had much more fun ever. There is no better air than the nighttime air during the winter, especially with the snow on the ground. It's just refreshing, and it feels pretty good when your riding down the slope. Yeah it was cold too but I was very bundled, plus with that hard ass workout, I did more sweating than freezing lol.
Man it sucks to stand up, sit down, stairs are extra shitty but it's all well worth it. She is I think. I would do it again no doubt.
We went up there is Eric and Keith, which made me feel a bit better because they really weren't any better that me, probably worse actually lol. But to Kelsey I was still a laughing stock, but I can laugh at myself too. Jordan was there with his girl, and he is a kick ass skiier and she isn't bad at snowboarding. It was pretty cool seeing them but that was just more of my friends that can laugh at me later lol. Oh well, embarrassment is part of life and it's not so bad if we can all learn to laugh at ourselves.
Snow boarding was definitely not something I ever saw myself doing but when I actually did it I had a lot of fun, and I would definitely do it again. Sh*t I might do it a lot more if the oppourtunity arises.
Here is one thing that I have realized. Some say this is true and others don't, yes it is life but life is a game. Not a video game but more like a game that you play in, a sport, a game you prepare for. Basketball, football, volleyball, etc. Everyday is practice for moments like these. And in life YOU HAVE TO TAKE CHANCES! No doubt about that... You have to take chances, put that on repeat. What is life without taking risks? Where will you go? Nowhere! How many great things have happened because someone decided to step up and take a chance? Uhh... pretty much all of the great things that have happened lol. You gotta take chances, take the chance to change your life, make a life changing decision. And DEFINITELY give people chances as well. You never know what the person could turn out to be. It could be a person who could change your life, for the better and yes, for the worse, but that is a lessoned well learned.
Don't pass up on anything or anybody just because you are unsure! Give chances, just one maybe but sometimes that's all it takes. Passing up on someone or something could be the worst decision ever because you never gave them or it a chance to change your life.
Wow, I love how something like snowboarding can make me have an epiphany like this lol. I'm not one that is soley set on fate, I believe that you have to make things happen yourself, and take those chances. Then things can work out the way they are supposed too.
Maybe this will continue on, I dunno but anything is possible. Just gotta give it a chance lol.

Yeah it was cold too but I was very bundled, plus with that hard ass workout, I did more sweating than freezing lol.
Man it sucks to stand up, sit down, stairs are extra shitty but it's all well worth it. She is I think. I would do it again no doubt.
We went up there is Eric and Keith, which made me feel a bit better because they really weren't any better that me, probably worse actually lol. But to Kelsey I was still a laughing stock, but I can laugh at myself too. Jordan was there with his girl, and he is a kick ass skiier and she isn't bad at snowboarding. It was pretty cool seeing them but that was just more of my friends that can laugh at me later lol. Oh well, embarrassment is part of life and it's not so bad if we can all learn to laugh at ourselves.
Snow boarding was definitely not something I ever saw myself doing but when I actually did it I had a lot of fun, and I would definitely do it again. Sh*t I might do it a lot more if the oppourtunity arises.
Here is one thing that I have realized. Some say this is true and others don't, yes it is life but life is a game. Not a video game but more like a game that you play in, a sport, a game you prepare for. Basketball, football, volleyball, etc. Everyday is practice for moments like these. And in life YOU HAVE TO TAKE CHANCES! No doubt about that... You have to take chances, put that on repeat. What is life without taking risks? Where will you go? Nowhere! How many great things have happened because someone decided to step up and take a chance? Uhh... pretty much all of the great things that have happened lol. You gotta take chances, take the chance to change your life, make a life changing decision. And DEFINITELY give people chances as well. You never know what the person could turn out to be. It could be a person who could change your life, for the better and yes, for the worse, but that is a lessoned well learned.
Don't pass up on anything or anybody just because you are unsure! Give chances, just one maybe but sometimes that's all it takes. Passing up on someone or something could be the worst decision ever because you never gave them or it a chance to change your life.
Wow, I love how something like snowboarding can make me have an epiphany like this lol. I'm not one that is soley set on fate, I believe that you have to make things happen yourself, and take those chances. Then things can work out the way they are supposed too.
Maybe this will continue on, I dunno but anything is possible. Just gotta give it a chance lol.

Sobered Up
So much for being high on life... I got sober. Today just put a hurtin' on my feeling of joy. Don't get it twisted, it's not like I'm miserable over here, I just didn't have a fantastic day. The thing that has made my irrefutable feeling of joy go away is that I don't know if things will continue to fall or if they will pick back up.
I'm just a little confused now with what to do, and who to trust around here. I thought that I was good for a while, thought that winter break had pumped me up enough to last until March but I guess not. It all starts with drama of course... that he said she said bull sh*t. There is nothing that can be done about it and seems to never go the right way for me.
For one I don't know why I am the topic of anyone's gossip... It's not like I am involved with everybody or that I make some kinda huge impact on their lives. So why am I brought up in conversation? Why is shit talked about me, some he said that she said that I said bull sh*t that is far from true. And if you read this and think I'm talkin bout you, your probably right. It just makes me feel like I can't trust nearly as many people as I thought I could, and it's not even like somebody let out some secret of mine, they made something up...
Plus I'm just a little stressed out. Somebody that I care about got hurt today and I haven't really got the chance to find out how she is doing... Even I say that not knowing can be a good thing but not in this situation, I would love all the details right about now, got me worried pretty bad and it's worse that I can't do anything about it...
I can't really share all my thoughts today, the rest of it is just a little too personal for the public.

Making Progress
So I didn't realize how much more difficult it would be to make post on here once school started lol. School is busy busy busy and it's my last semester so it is no joke of course. All I really need to worry about is these two research papers, Spanish III and English 12. It's not gonna be any fun, writing either one of them, well I might have some fun with the English paper but probably not...
But things are still good... I'm still feeling like I'm on top of the world lol, things haven't really got any better by a whole lot but that's cuz they are pretty good at the moment... and things definitely haven't got any worse.
I'm just filled with zero complaints, and that's rare for anyone to say. Things are coasting along very well. I'm not all jumpy and filled with joy like I was the other day lol but that's cuz I'm just laid back and chillin'.. Being me of course, that's what I'm best at.
Today was pretty fun, after school just hung out with kelsey all day. Went to bdub's with her rents then I took her to meet my mom. Like I said things are just coasting along very well... looking like it will only get better. That's the plan at least lol. I really hope I can go to paoli with her on her b-day saturday... Pops ain't giving me straight answers though.. Being a hater lol. That's my dad for ya...
Well that's all for today... I'm thinkin bout shutting down the myspace but I'm not so sure yet. Guess we will see when the time comes....

Last Night of Winter Break
So I'm posted up in front of the computer on my last night of holiday break of my senior year. No complaints, no complaints what so ever. It was really good, glad I got to spend some quality time with my friends and my family. I also came out of it with a relationship... this girl makes me pretty happy and she is definitely unique. I was unsure about it at first but now I think that we are headed in a positive direction. Not gonna get to serious yet, just gonna go with the flow and it looks like it's flowing well.
Last night was a pretty good night to end the break on even though tonight was my actual last night of it. I kicked it at Trell's last night with him, Brandon, and Biddy. Trell's girl was there and I took Kelsey over there to meet and great my boys (see I'm for real bout this one). We just kicked it, drank a little bit but didn't get on any high levels with it lol. We had to do it, they all left for school today... Got me pretty shitty cuz there goes the homies...
You really learn to appreciate your true friends in times like these. It seems like I find my niche, the place where I belong, the people which whom I belong with, but they all get shipped off to college and I'm here to face my senior year without them around most of the time. That ain't getting me down though, I got other friends and even though it's not quite the same, I appreciate them as well.
Shout out to my boy Michael Chrisman, thats my dude right there... A dude that I found to be a true friend and I didn't realize I had any others besides Brandon, Trell, and Biddy until now.
I am... truely happy.. I feel like I got a lot goin' good right now thanks a lot to the people around me. Of course the people I have already mentioned in this blog thus far and a few others not mentioned. I hope things don't change or flip, I'm wanting all the good to just progress. I really want me and kelsey to work out... All is looking so positive and this winter break was just the boost I needed to get me through school to spring break. Hopefully school goes well, then life would be... perfect? Is that possible? That's stronger than the L-Word I think... definitely harder to come upon. Love or perfection? Which is more potent? I see a lot more love than perfection, but i think in order to have perfection you gotta have love in your life too because if you didn't have the love, your life wouldn't be perfect, you'd be missing something... DUH!!! All you need is love love love... I don't even like the beatles lol.
"I'm high off life... F*ck it I'm wasted..." that is my shit!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it is exactly how I feel right now!! Shit is so good at the moment. It would be dope if a shit load of people read this and could feel me on how good I feel right now. Gotta love that Charles Hamilton shit, makes me love music again.
And shout out to my LOUISVILLE CARDINALS!!! Especially the amigo Edgar Sosa for looking like he did his freshman year again. That game was DOPE!
Here is the way of life for the time being.. "Rule No. 76 No excuses, Play like a champion" courtesy of Wedding Crashers lol. Good f*cking movie.
I'm writing in the sky, I'm leaving an impression on everybody and everything.. I hope my happiness rubs off on everybody I meet. Then everybody could be almost or as happy as me.
Ahhhh so good so good... I can't really think of anything wrong right now. Well, except that I really need some new shoes on the whip lol but that's nothing that I can't take care of.
I've done spilled my guts on here, I can't really think of much else on my mind at the moment that i need to share. Guess its the index and the middle until next time...

The Fourth Blog
I know right... Can't even think of a title for today. Guess there was just nothing interesting enough to sum my day up with. It wasn't anything special... just another day.
I got up out the bed around 10:30 in the a.m. then i got in the shower. Headed out the door bout an hour after gettin up, dropped off my sisters then got the money. Hung out at my mom's place then went back to my dad's and sat there until i went to work at like 4:30... WORK!! was bull shit. I did bad and I got yelled at, guess I deserved it.
I got to see A LOT of friends tonight though, bunch of people ate at the roadhouse tonight, some I was a little more excited to see than others lol.
And ooooooooo maaannnn i got that double tomorrow, oh well, get that bread.
Tomorrow night should be fun though, and sad. Its my 3-anegroes last night at home tomorrow. I'm thinkin we should go out in a good way since they wont be home for a long ass time. F*ckin hate it, all my close homies being gone most of the time.
So I'm just sitting here listening to my Charles Hamilton... Right now I'm on Sonic The Hamilton. This mixtape is fire. Shit all his music is fire.
I don't know why i feel obligated to do this but since i started just a few days ago it feels routine, a prolly wont stop anytime soon and eventually I'll put one in here that is one of my real blogs. like the ones on my myspace, the blogs that blow peoples' minds away.
I'm capable of greatness I know, I've already shown it... just cant bring the beast out all the time.
I NEED SOME INSPIRATION!!!!!!!!!!!
so inspire me...

The First of The Year
So I lied... I didn't get gone last night lol. I was a good boy...
Went out to eat with some friend, then went to watch the ball drop at one of their houses. At about 1 a.m. I started party hoppin' but i only went to like three of them. A lot of my homies were super drunk, I found it quite comical. I had to drive so I stayed away from it... I'm not much of a drinker anyways.
So I did some serious thinking... This is the time of changing for the better, I'm talkin about resolutions of course. A lot of people make them, very few carry them out. Some of them are to stop smoking, stop drinking, stop being a fat ass, stop having sex with random people, stop being an ass hole to everybody... I don't have problems like that. If I have a problem it's that I spend a little too much money on silly sh*t but I really don't have a problem with that.
So I decided not to make a resolution.... Until today.
I kinda have two..
1.) I want to make a lasting impression of positivity on the new people I meet. I know that's kinda goofy cuz you cant please everyone but I think that I'm a good guy and somebody well worth knowing so I think it's possible.
2.) I want to change a life... For the better of course lol. I have no idea how I plan on doing that but that's what it's about isn't it? Things like that just happen... I'm not gonna stay up late at night and plan on how to do something like that. But when the time is right... I'll know I'm sure.
Welp I don't really have much else on my mind... guess I'm gonna hop off here and go watch a movie or something. Prolly gonna eat cuz I don't have to stop being a fat ass lol.
