• Been a minute

      It’s been a bit, but I know I am ready to open up. Things have been shitty for awhile and I think I am ready to be on the other side that. I was working through the death of my mother and  then my brother passed away.  It’s a weird thing to think that…

  • Too Soft…

  • me. i’m the problem.

    i carry my book around with me and i update it. today i reminded myself that i need to stop being stupid and remember my place. i am the reason all bad things happen to me and have happened to me.

    i want to get rid of R&O because i feel like the only time i write here is when i am at the absolute lowest in my life. i had dreams about my mom last night, even though i don’t remember them. i woke up feeling like i got to spend time with her. i…

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.
