• Hate isn’t sustainable.

    Years ago I went through a stint of watching a television show called “Hoarders”. I was in a unhappy relationship where I felt I was giving my all and not getting the same love in return. On this one episode it was of a very large woman living in a small home packed with things…

  • fermare…to stop.

        Whoa. This last month has been incredibly difficult to get through. When I got back from L.A. from shooting this wedding I fell into this really dark place in my head. Everything was to overwhelming and I just couldn’t function. I mean, I did function. That is something I have learned I do….

  • Cognosco…I recognize.

    I was on my way home from work one day and I had my Pandora set to a comedy station because Lord knows that I need a little comedy after some of the days I have there. The skit started out like a self help workshop delivered in a high pitch emphatic tone and before…

  • Well that didn’t work…

    So I deactivated my FB, but my friend Tammy sent me a snapshot 72 hours after I deactivated and it’s still there.  She posted pictures of Alyx and I wanted to see them full screen.  I logged back in long enough to check my messages and leave a comment on the photos.  I deleted the…

  • Lame Ass Easter

    I spent the day in my apartment cleaning and working on pictures.  My lunch and dinner where Ikea meatballs. Yes, I know it sounds pathetic, but I think it was exactly what I needed. The fish tank is moved out and I am going to take it to Goodwill on my next day off, which…

  • Kristine un-plugged.

      I have been kicking around the idea of deactivating my Facebook for quite some time. I almost did it a year ago and I probably should have then. I need a break from everything and everyone. Things have been feeling a bit overwhelming lately and it’s time for me to find my center. I…

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.
