• He Graduamatated with Honors!

    I closed the comments on the last two posts. I’ve made it clear in the past that I don’t acknowledge hate mail and I usually blacklist any emails or comments that will cause people to get crazy.  When the comment came through, I reacted out of complete anger because honestly that and sadness is the…

  • **UPDATED**

    Thank you all for the emails and phone calls. Despite someone who spent 42 minutes on my blog and came to the conclusion that I adore the dramatic attention, I’m moving on. For those of you that know me, have read the ‘about me’ part know that, you–my readers, pretty much run the show and…

  • and a small good-bye to Random and Odd

    They say when God closes a door, he opens a window. I am no longer dwelling on the shut door and looking for the open window. Please forgive me as I take a break from here until I can managed to put all the things in my life in a box and figure out what…

    June 6: Through the eyes of a child. If you have a child; Allow the child to take your camera and find something they like to take a picture of. Do not prompt them on what to take, leave them to themselves to pick it. If you do NOT have a child…you lucky bastards; Get…

  • Wow

    Hey everyone, Shaun here. I’m trying to get in before the SPF participants hog the entire site! Tomorrow night Tyler graduates from high school, with honors. College-prep classes, student teaching, and a 4.0 GPA. How in THE hell did this kid get any of my genes and pull this off? Honestly, I give him a…

  • I updated the SPF this week. That’s pretty much ALL I got done. The last week of school always throws me into a depression, crying and screaming ‘nooooo, not 11 weeks alone with the bbbbbrrrraaaatttts’ frenzy. I took into consideration that not all of you are swimming in Barbies, Tranformers, Go Diego Go and Dora…

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.
