    It was four years ago today that this little ball of fuzzy cuteness came into my world. My best friend’s niece asked me if I wanted her dog, Duke and instantly I said yes and gave her the money she wanted.  We (my ex and I) had him for about a year before I realized…

    Hozier’s new album finally dropped and I can take a moment to let Taylor sit down until and take a breath.  She’s been busy keeping me sane the last year.  In October when 1989 TV is released and the track vaults have me laying on the floor crying I will be in her clutches again. …

  • Shea and Keagen moved to Seattle.  They are settled into their apartment and starting a life together. It’s so endearing to see a new relationship taking flight into the unknown.  I’m always a sucker for love. I fall into love so easily and I make excuses for why it will work this time. “It was…

  • The Enchanting Concert post

    I came to a shocking conclusion the other day.  The reason I am super obsessed with the Era’s tour this year is because that’s where I was getting my dopamine from since my mom died.  When my mom died — everything sucked.  Everything sucked more than it normally did, but soon after we started the…

    New year, New me….yeah, Naw. I like the person I already am. mostly. I spent New Years in Redding with my sister and I spent the whole next day nursing a huge hangover.  It’s been since 2019 that I had even really drank.   That time I nearly died in a hotel in Dublin really took…

  • Please let this year be over

    I’m on book 89 now.  I have hit the darkest the written word has to offer. I have taken a off ramp into another type of book to see if it pulls me out. I’ve even pulled out my classics and started to reread The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.  I told Shea…

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.
