•   This last month has been a busy one and it doesn’t look like September is going to be any slower. In this last month I have climbed a mountain (or a ‘peak’ according to my brother), I’ve gone camping and I’ve worked very hard on my relationships. With Kara leaving in a couple of…

    Canopy Wrap –as seen on IloveSkydiving.org Holy shit! I have a bunch of friends who do CRW and seeing this just makes me look at their side of the sport a little differently. Geeezus this video freaked me out.

  • Adventures in Swype

    It’s been about a year or so that I got my phone that is ‘smart’.  It’s been less than a year that I have “Swype”.  If you don’t have swype, a quick explanation: You run your finger over the word you want to type and it magically types what you were thinking. It’s magic…it’s fucking…

    Using the D300…it must be love!!, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. It’s already August. This whole year has seemed to be divided into nothing but weekends and where I will be on that weekend. The best part of that is, every weekend has been about where I want to be.

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.
