• Fuck.

    The neighbor’s dogs have been barking for 4 solid hours. Non-stop. It’s the weirdest thing. They are barking at nothing. Both of them. Bark. Bark. Yip. Bark. Do dogs ever loose their voices..er..barkers? UPDATE: 7 SOLID hours. I’ve decided to just leave the TV on while I sleep so I don’t hear them  barking. If…

  • Blah, Bleck, Buhck.

    I’ve been researching for the book I am desperately trying to write.  Since I am not a professional, my first plan of action is watching movies. Good movies, lame movies, independent movies and foreign movies.  I figure if I can get a handle on this ‘love’ thing and how other people go about dealing with…

  • because you asked…

    On occasion I get an email saying how much people love the relationship that my mom, sister and I have.   Sometimes people say, “I wish I could hang out with you guys…I bet it would be fun.” I have been trying to locate CD’s that I have misplaced (kids stole) and I ran across 2 …

  • Therapist Part 1

    When I called I knew the woman worked from her home. No big deal. Remember Mike Keaton’s Dad on Growing Pains worked from home? After we got to the house we had a clip board waiting for us on a bench in front yard.  *blink* Okay, lets sit in the heat and fill out a…

  • She makes me laugh…

    My mom left a note on this picture:  “It looks like what I carry in my pocket” Sad, but true. You know how when you’re sick you pick up on things that you would normally dismiss?  I had a moment on the phone and I had to scribble it down on the back of the…

  • Bladder infection gone wrong.

    Holy hell, I thought I was dieing.  Friday Shaun and I left to go to Reno (again) because we had a wedding right out outside of there on Saturday and to make sure that we were going to be there on time we always leave a day early. I checked in, got to the elevator…

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.
