Welcome to my world…the Wonderful World of Randomness! This was founded by me in March 2008. I wanted a fun way to connect with my family; well, really I just needed a formal excuse to fill their inboxes with my random (and sometimes ridiculous) writings. And now…nine years later to the day…Randomness has made a comeback! But now we are in blog format for the whole world wide web to read.
My writings range from poems to raps to random compositions consisting of utter facetiousness. I promise everything I write isn’t ridiculous. But if you can’t enjoy a little humor, you probably won’t enjoy this blog. Hopefully you will be inspired, encouraged, and most of all entertained. I hope to put a smile on your face…and maybe even a song in your heart.
I have to give a shout out to Matt Thiessen (my favorite Canadian and lead singer from my favorite band, Relient K) for inspiring me to write with wit. (Although I doubt he’ll ever see this.) The way he puts words together is simply brilliant. I have enjoyed creative writing for many years. I love the sound of words and the pictures they can paint. I love how words come together and create a multi-sensory aesthetic experience for both the writer and the reader. My goal when writing is to find the most precise words possible in order to convey the truest essence of what I want to say. Can you just get into my head and tell me I am understood? Only time will tell. I hope you enjoy what I write. And know that Randomness has been and always will be as free as the air you breathe.
I am definitely feeling nostalgic. It’s so good to be back…
Oh, btw, I took this photo of Matt Thiessen at a show in Missouri in 2013, in case you were wondering…
