game day: rise up, steeler nation!

well, it's game day and, even though it's a saturday i'm up at 6am. i got up at 5 and tossed and turned for a while and finally got out of bed. it's like christmas morning up in here. i am just too excited! it's steelers - ravens day!

in about 10 1/2 hours i will either be incredibly overjoyed or very disappointed. that's just the way it goes. but for now, in anticipation, i will let the excitment fuel my adrenaline and anticipation. and while we wait, i invite you to enjoy some steeler-inspired music. i'll start with this, my favorite favorite steeler song ever. it's by a guy named joby harris, who is a very cool man, and this song is just really well done in my opinion. so turn it up loud, get your terrible towel, and let's get this thing cranked up!

or, if you prefer country music, here's a great song about steeler nation by dusty drake:

or how about one for the ladies?

or there's this one, called "how bout 'dem pittsburgh steelers" (and this one has the added bonus of displaying my old steelers room. i now have a new mancave which i will share with you at the right time).

maybe polka is more your speed?

in more recent years, this song has become a staple of all steelers defense enthusiasts:

but finally, for the purists, there is always the classic "here we go." enjoy.

HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!!!!

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.
