40,000

well, friends, it's a bit of a milestone day here at agentorangerecords. today i reach 40,000 visits to the old blogstead. and so, to celebrate i want to give something away!
--
i have had many visitors to this blog of mine, and i never even thought that would happen. but what is even more unlikely is that some of you who visited came back. i know, its hard to believe, but for some reason you keep reading. i don't know if it is because i make you laugh (at my own expense), or because it's like a train wreck that you just can't stop looking at, but whatever the reason, you keep coming back. forty thousand times. so thanks.

to celebrate, i'm giving away this collage:


it is called sunburst. i've shown it here before. up until today it has been for sale in my etsy shop. but now i'm giving it to one of you. all you have to do is comment on this post and answer this question:
--
other than money, what would you like to have 40,000 of? (you can comment as often as you'd like, but it won't help your chances. you only get one shot.)
--
also, starting tomorrow, i'll begin a 10-day series of collages and poems based on the book of esther. at the end of those 10 days i will give announce the winner of "sunburst." good luck. and keep visiting. here's to another 40,000.

cool.

I'll go first.

I'd like 40,000 hugs and kisses. They seem to go together. If you're a stickler about that duo, I'll just take hugs.

it was one of the first things that popped into my head.

looking forward to esther!

I'd like to have 40,000 days to spend with Jack and Cade. Other people can be there too as long as they are there with me! Sounds like heaven to me.

I have to steal Keith's answer, but it would be for my husband, not me! 40,000 hrs of paid vacation - we could get so many home improvement projects done with that!!! But it wouldn't be much of a vacation...

I'll have to say 40,000 kisses from my husband and daughters.

Dang, and I thought I was doing well with 20,000 hits. Way to go!

Easy: 40,000 free roundtrip airline tickets to anywhere in the world.

Or a 1952 Vincent Black Lightning motorcycle with 40000 miles on 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.
