Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Waking up

    That moment where you wake up from a really fucked up dream and realize that fucked up dream is better than your reality…. I hate that moment.

  • Till death do us part…and then some.

    This weekend I went home to help my sister and sister in law in some cleaning of my aunt’s house. Her home is a shrine of 50 plus years of love.  She has pictures on her walls of her grandkids who have since given her great grandkids. Her children as children. Her husband who left…

  • Fix it.

    Once upon a time there was this guy who came into my crazy world and he calmed my soul. He was beautiful, spiritual, loving and he taught me how to trust again. He taught me how to see the bad in people and to still love. He taught me that you get hurt and you…

  • Flickr Warnings…

    Me: Delete. Flickr: “Are you sure want to delete 1,902 pictures from your Flickr account? Me: Yes. Flickr: “Are you REALLY sure?” Me: Yes. Flickr: “Are you REALLY REALLY SURE? they will be deleted forever and you can’t get them back!” Me: OH HELL YES! Flickr: “You’ll regret it and wish you hadn’t.” Me: They…

  • The Dirt…

    While going through every book, paper and photo album I have, I stumbled on a book I can’t remember even buying. It’s the story of Motley Crue, written by the band. Thing is, I wasn’t a big Motley Crue fan. My best friend in 8th grade, Melony…now she was a fan.  Her walls were covered…

  • Playing with his wood., originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Three weeks in the new house and I finally decided it was time to venture out and go hang out with Lester.

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.
