the swirling mind visits the mechanic with the crazy hair

remember my old random, stream of conciousness posts?  well, here's one for those who enjoyed those.  welcome, for a moment, inside the swirling mind of greg.

*anybody ever get into the show friday night lights?  shannon and i have been working our way through season one on dvd, when we have a chance, and we just finished it and now have started season 2.  i love it.  i still can't tell if its a guilty pleasure, or if its really a great show.  either way, i'm enjoying it. 

*i'm at the car dealership right now.  just saw a mechanic come into view (it always intrigues me how secret the garage is at these places.  you can't see a thing in there.  its like the wizard of oz is back there changing oil and fixing transmissions) and he has the most unusual hair.  it seems like he has a receding hairline, where the hair begins to thin on the front part of the head, but further investigation reveals that he actually has two sections of hair on the top of his head.  it's like a biology textbook illustration of the asexual reproduction of certain organisms.  suddenly one cell turns into two.  that's what's happening on this guy's head. 

*actually, now that i think about it, i am surrounded by balding.  two of the guys in here waiting have major male pattern baldness, and the guy at the counter is a mr. clean wannabe.  makes me thankful for my hair, even if it is as nice and soft as a brand new brillo pad (if you are balding, this is not meant to insult.  bald is beautiful, baby).

*here's how much i pay attention to the news:  i keep hearing that something is going on with jay leno, but i have no idea what.  i keep hearing/seeing his name, but losing interest after getting to the "o" in leno, so i still don't know what's up.  i can just barely hear one of the news shows right now over keane singing on my ipod, and they are discussing this leno news.  what is going on?  is he sick?  is he making some big announcement?  did he have an affair with tiger woods?  what?  in the end, i could find out if i wanted to, but i really don't care.  and i'm sort of proud of that.  is that weird?

*i can see my car in the lot now, which means that they're done with it, and will soon call me over to tell me all the things they saw that need repaired.  i hate this part.

*so, i guess i should get going.  i hope you all have a great tuesday.  listen to some sweet music today.  and then dance to it.  seriously.  try it.  then tell me how it went.  i'll do the same.  we'll compare results tomorrow.

turn to "asexual reproduction" in any bio textbook, and you'll get the idea.

mary, unsurprisingly, i didn't know there was anything on nbc except the office.

so glad to hear you've finished FNL season 1 -I think I gave it to Shannon three years ago! Not a guilty pleasure, just really good TV - better than most of the stuff on right now!

as for leno, yeah his show has been cancelled (never watched) but they are bumping Conan and letting Jay back in the Tonight Show spot.

I've been m.i.a. in the blog world lately. I'm catching up on your posts and came across this one. I was getting my oil changed on Monday, so for a moment I was "in your shoes" as it were. Jay Leno did have an affair with Tiger Woods. Who knew! And bald is beautiful (although my bald husband does not like to hear about my hair complaints, oh the gray that is showing up. He reminds me that at least I have hair that can go gray). My morning getting my oil changed was more quiet than yours. I crocheted. I just wanted to share, again since I've been m.i.a. ;)

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.
