And if I didn’t know better I’d think you were talking to me now.
I woke up horribly sad this morning. I fell asleep to a book based on the Syrian civil war and I am hoping that doesn’t have anything to do with it, but it is a griping book that showcases different sides of war and how PTSD was portrayed in this book felt tragic and familiar….

Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these? And let all your damage damage me And carry your baggage up my street And make me your future history
I had a really, really long conversation with an old friend that I was no longer friends with anymore and we talked about a ton of shit that happened that ended our relationship. Was it a needed conversation? No. Did I need to hear it? Not really. Am I glad I did? Naw. I’ve…

There’s an art to life’s distraction… To somehow escape the burning wait, the art of scrapin’ through
So I did a thing. On a whim I decided to go on a little trip. What was the biggest take away from this trip? ALWAYS fly first-ish class. If you’re going to be on a plane for 16 hours, shell out the extra cash to get the comfortable seats. What was the coolest thing…

It was the great escape, the prison break, The light of freedom on my face
It’s the end of January and I have read a book a day. It’s actually the 29th and I have already passed up a book a day because I read FOUR books last weekend. I had forgotten how much I like James Patterson and once I get sucked into a series there is no stopping…

The absence of itself.
What a fucking delightful way to welcome the new year. I spent new years day scanning old photos and 15 days later I am still paying for it with a neck issue that took me to the doctor. Going in and having a different kind of surgery while your neck hurts was just FUN. Luckily…

But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day
No bottles to clean up this year. I did pack up my tree, decorations and did the last deep clean of the year to welcome in the new. The t.v. was brought back into the living room. During the great sick of 2023 it was kind of nice having it in the bedroom and having…

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.
