Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Words of advice..

    I just figured out why parents hate it when people curse in public when little kids are present. “God, it’s Fuuuuuh (quickly correcting my language in front of Jeremiah) Fuuuhh-reaking HOT ouside!” “It’s Fuckreaking hot out here!” “No, it’s just hot, Jeremiah.” “No, it’s fuckreaking hot out here.” 20 minutes later: Kara gets into the…

    The Children are our Future Taking these pictures were hard on Shaun. Seeing him in a tux..and then when he put on his cap and gown…you could actually see his heart being ripped from his chest. This is our future.  Nooooot too shabby if I do say so myself. Did you play?

  • Reading, Reading, Writing…healing?

    I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday to find a book on photography.  They, OF COURSE, didn’t have it and I found myself being pulled to the self help section. Not being a fan of the self help book because I can’t ever finish one, I don’t know why I went over there. Just to…

  • Sponge…

    He’s at that age where he repeats everything you say. My advice is not to say, “Fucking Dishwasher!” in front of him.  Doesn’t matter how many times you try to reprogram those two words into something else, he will just keep repeating them back at you just to watch you squirm. I’m watching Jeremiah for…

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.
