its been a while since
many of you have seen
me, so, i thought, i would
put a few pics up so that
you will remember what
i look like. or, if you have
never seen me, you can
now commence with making
snide comments such as,
"wow, that is one ugly dude."

actually, i don't really think i am
ugly at all. i just enjoy self-deprecating
humor. there's nothing like it.

this picture here is from a date i had with j-lo. unfortunately, everything went wrong that night, and it became clear that we just weren't going to work out. she called me once after that, but, thank God for caller i.d. i mean, she is obviously exceptionally hot, but, i just couldn't handle all of the photographers and paparazzi. i like my privacy.


But, in all seriousness, here i am. in sepia. in all kinds of tones and hues. i am shaded and varied and colored.

i was thinking about how there are many people that i haven't really seen or talked much to since high school, and i wonder if i am the same person to them. i mean, if they were to hang out with me now, would i seem to be the same? clearly in some ways i would: i am still intense. still a bit annoying. i still like to argue. i still love music.

but there are other ways in which i have changed so much. i have grown up, really. i am professionally at a different point. i am a husband now. and a father. and a new jerseyan. and i am in my dreaded 30's. and i now occasionally wear a cowboy hat.

so, am i the same or different? both, i guess. changed in so many ways. yet, still me somehow. as i continue to share myself through these pages, i will be as honest as i can about who i am right now. who i am becoming? only time will tell. for those of you i haven't heard from in months, or even years, send me a comment. let's reconnect.

random thoughts of the day:

the steelers WILL win this weekend against the raiders. the season is NOT over.

i watched Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring (extended version) last night as i sat next to a warm fire with my wife. am i a nerd? stay tuned for more lotr discussion...

i am going to watch napolean dynamite for the first time tonight. i don't know how i was an active participant in our culture without having seen it. but here goes...

less than two months until christmas.

i am currently listening to keane and snow patrol.

i am currently reading through painted deserts by don miller.

i am...still me,

greg.

Matt and I wil occassionally watch a LOTR movie - they really never get old. Oh yeah - I tried to click on one of the many blogs listed on your profile - for a second I thought you were really frustrated with your cingular service...

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day. 

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus

the crucifixion of Robert Lewis

  "the crucifixion of Robert Lewis" mixed media collage with leaves, acrylic paint, and found objects by gregory a milinovich october 2023 this october i was invited to participate in a three day trip which was called a "pilgrimage of pain and hope."  while that may not sound super exciting to many of you, it actually really intrigued me.  i am the kind of person that wants to feel big feelings, and i am drawn to the deep places, so  i was interested in traveling to the scranton area, where the trip was planned, to see what it might look like to be a pilgrim that was wide-eyed and listening to the pain and the hope in the stories of others.   this trip included hearing the stories of immigrants to the northeastern pennsylvania area, and the work in the coal mines that many of them did.  it included hearing from folks who are working for housing justice and equity in downtown scranton.  it included hearing from those indigenous people who first inhabited that land.
