• Happy Birthday to Mom the Fonz….

    I wanted to spend the day with her.  To be able to get one of her most awesomest hugs. To see her blow out her candles. There are things going on at Random and Odd that will not allow me to be there, and I know she understands and hopes she can forgive me for…

  • Fuck it, It’s back!!

  • History is still yet to be made…

    It’s 1:04 am and I have been waiting for all the votes for our state to come in before I wrote what I wanted to write, but just sitting here talking to my most wonderfully, well spoken friend, Bryan, I realize there is something to be said without a victory in a stand my children…

  • It’s Monday and I should be posting, but I am really feeling like hell. I’m pretty sure my body is now rejecting the antibiotics I have been on for over 2 months.  I still have 5 weeks left of that antibiotic before I am done. I’m not sure how all this works, but I have…

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
