Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • SPF: KLS

    Picture One: Kristine where the K stands for Karma. I picked on my mom and sister for so long about having to wear glasses that Karma came back and bit me on on the ass…I have to wear these when I drive or if I want to see things in focus and not fuzzy. I…

  • Am I?

    You know when someone gets up and asks, “You want anything while I’m up?” Am I the only one that REALLY wishes that people could go to the bathroom for you? you know, since they’re up anyway.

  • But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

    This could be the longest i’ve gone without posting. I was a prisoner in my own home and the covers from my bed kept me bound. I was forced to medicate and watch re-runs of Twilight Zone. I’m doing better today. The ex came over (at the last damn minute) to bring the girls to…

  • I’ve been thinking a lot about ‘titles’ I’ve given myself in my life. It’s nearly impossible to avoid a ‘title’. You start your life out as the ‘Oldest Child’ or ‘Middle Child’ or ‘The Baby.” You are a ‘good boy’ or ‘bad girl.’ When you enter school your title is a ‘grade’. As you progress…

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.
