Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Look at me, I can be Centerfield

    You know how when your kids are little, even as young as ‘still in the womb’ you decide what they could be when they get older? “Oh, this little one is going to be a kicker!” Well, we all have decided that Jeremiah is going to break Barry Bond’s record. I will be interviewed by…

  • If I’m to be your camera, then who will be your face?

    We are not in Kansas anymore, Toto. In the past few days, I have been touched by the Electronic Gods.  My laptop had been returned to HP three times to have the motherboard replaced.  The Gods of HP decided that it was going to get junked and replaced.  I got to pick the replacement, WITHIN…

  • True Nikon Family

    DSC_0175, originally uploaded by DanStone. Dan was one of the first people to put a professional camera in my hands and showed me how it worked. That was 17 years ago. I never let a camera out of arms reach until the day he handed me a video camera. It’s been about as long as…

  • L.A. traffic is bad this time of year

    It’s been nearly a month that I have been off my anti-anxiety medication.  The first couple of weeks were hard. The third week was total bliss. This fourth week is trial and error. In the first couple of weeks, I didn’t tell anyone that I had ran out of pills and was choosing not to…

  • “Shut up, Mac!”

    O. Friggin’ K.  I hear you LOUD AND CLEAR. I’m done. This is THEE last time this damn laptop is going back to HP. Stupid ass POS! Every time it goes into hibernation mode, I not only lose the wireless connection, now the damn screen won’t turn back on. AT ALL.  And the Bill Gates…

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.
