Randy's Journal

Dear Journal Readers,
this is the beginning to an open journal from me about me and life on death row. It has taken me a lot of nerves to open up in the way that I'm going to. To bare my soul to a world whom may not even understand. Anyone who knows or has known me, that while I am a very out going person I hold a lot inside of me. People have pointed out that they can see so much going on behind my eyes, yet I never indulge anyone as to what is going on inside my head. Some say they see a tired and sad soul. Maybe. But the gist of it is that I generally just don't trust people enough to tell them my thoughts or to share my opinions. I fear misunderstanding and I fear rejection. But more than anything I fear loneliness. I once feared I was damned to die alone.
I'm opening up so that maybe those who feel the same way as I do will find a way to express themselves to their loved ones. To have hope and inspiration. My poetry and songs are very cryptic, this deciphers all of that.
And so... This is my heart, this is my mind and this is soul.

P.S.: Some names have been changed to protect their identities.


Note to readers of these entries: There are many grammatical, punctuation and typing errors. It would be incredibly time consuming to go through each entry and correct the mistakes, so I ask that the reader please forgive me of these errors. Each entry goes through several hands in the process of getting my words from death row to your computer screen in a timely fashion. Thank you for your patience. I hope you will enjoy my writings.

These are Randy's journals from August of 2005 until May of 2008. He has currently ceased his journal writings due to his ongoing appeals process, but will add any updates regarding general information on his case. We hope that these journals will show you that not only has Randy grown as a human being, but will also reflect the remorse and regrets, he has for the terrible actions and choices that have been made in his life.
