    Every Sunday I like to treat myself to be able to go over to Susie’s site for just a little something. It’s like a tiny bit of church, maybe a funny quote…and sometimes an update. I got up this morning and got an email from Susie. Now the cool thing about being a part of…

    Shaun here.  So I’m driving home from work today at the coal mine, listening to sports talk on the radio (no, I couldn’t be studlier).  Then I hear it.  I get a cold chill like you get when someone scrapes a fork between their teeth.  I let it go.  Then it comes again, and again. …

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.
