“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.” -Rumi

“When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep. Praise God for those two insomnias! And the difference between them.” -Rumi

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

Respect your haters. They are the ones who think you are better than them. -Unknown

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

“Motherfuckin’ tittysuckin’ two-balled bitch!” -Agent Zoil – Paul

Random and Odd

Happy Birthday, Random and Odd

31 August, 2007 /

*sniffle*

The end of this months marks 3 years that Random and Odd has been around. So that’s like 6 in blog-years…right?

I have a handful of readers that I have had from nearly the beginning. Pissy, KimmyK and Shelli.

There was a time when I wrote on a ‘list’ (like a forum…but different) and some of those people (My So-Called Life) have followed me here from that mailing list and from justkeeton dot com. *Hi Laura and the others*
This year marks 10 years that I have been writing on the internet in one form or another.

This has been a wonderful outlet and I hope to be around for a long time…blogging my kids through High School and College.

When did you jump on the Random and Odd Train? Do you remember?
