Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • do da.

      I am sick of this cold weather. This weekend I had to get out of the house.  Alyx grabbed the keys and her camera and we decided to see what we could find. I found that walking around in the cold gives me a headache. THINKING about the cold gives me a headache.  …

  • In 1993 I took up scuba diving.  In the following years I found myself in Maui a couple of times and for the 9 day trips, I spent the majority of the time on a boat with a friend learning how to really scuba dive.  What they teach  you in the classes to get certified…

  • Run for Getty!!

      I’m getting excited about interviewing Kate from Getty Owl!! I’m normally don’t throw out the name of the races that I am doing because honestly there are people I don’t want to sign up because I don’t want to bump into them.  This race, I don’t care. Love me, hate me…I don’t care. Sign…

  •   “I miss Kara Bear.”  This was  a text I got totally out of the blue from Dan.  We usually only text when we are making sure someone is picking up the girls or something, so I knew he must have been having a rough day.  “Me too.” Dan decided back in October that he…

  • Joe…

    I never thought to ask…but why do you not have Facebook? Not that I am complaining. You are the last of the commenters over here on R&O.  I took the site tracker thing off my blog because I didn’t want to see who was coming to visit so I can write for me and  only…

  • Late to the game…really late.

    I found my old music player and decided to just give up on the piece of shit Ipod that has a battery that lasts about 30 minutes with a full charge. I needed to order a new charger and transfer cable because I had not used it in about a million years and moved 3…

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.
