I'm going to take a different route here and say this, "ew, you picked up someone else's cigarette butt to use in your collage?"

Ew! But that's just my opinion.

Now finally one down on my level. im sorry, i wanted so badly to contribute earlier but lets be honest...compared to all the postmodern tick talk i was just feeling quite elementary. thanks for reaching the masses with this blog :) Greg...take it from me...what you are doing is art. and not just because it is cool and i like it...but because if something is making you think this much about it and how God is mixed in with it all AND it makes you happy and brings peace and enjoyment along with everyone that looks at it?...then yeah..stop worrying...its art, and its working.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!

mary,

thanks for the encouragement, but you need to understand that i'm not exactly 'worrying' as you say. i am just wrestling. that is what i do, you know. i'm a wrestler. i have always been one that just can't accept something as is. i have come to see myself as a kind of jacob wrestling with the angel, holding on, all night long, until i get what i am looking for: a name. in this case i am looking for the angel to name my work. will the angel name it 'necessary?' or superfluous? or a distraction? or enough? or worthwhile?

and so, i am wrestling much more than worrying. part of my wrestling involves others' input, and so i have been trying to have this conversation that you might all help be the voice of the angel for me. sorry if the conversation has been too much 'postmodern tick tock' for you, but i feel like you have some significant input to offer me here. so, thank you for your voice, the voice of an angel, and please don't stop contributing. i need it.

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.
