Dear Mom, Happy Mother’s Day.  I miss you a lot.   It’s hard to let you know that.  I just saw a few of your paintings at the Milgrom’s house the other day.  And I got a cool e-mail from your old student, Dave Chow.  He told me that at the Art Center, children are still discovering their artistic creativity and passion because of you.  I don’t know how, but you still do that to me too. Each and every day.  I love you Mom, and I miss you.  Happy Mother’s Day, Greg

Dear Mom,
Happy Mother’s Day.
I miss you a lot.
It’s hard to let you know that.
I just saw a few of your paintings at the Milgrom’s house the other day.
And I got a cool e-mail from your old student, Dave Chow.
He told me that at the Art Center, children are still discovering their artistic creativity and passion because of you.
I don’t know how, but you still do that to me too.
Each and every day.

I love you Mom, and I miss you.

Happy Mother’s Day,
Greg

By the numbers: my solo drive from Chicago to Ann Arbor
230: minutes on the road
224: miles travelled
72: photos taken while driving
6: blog posts published via Tumblr
5: albums listened to (4 purchased this morning at hp recs)
1.5: cans of Red Bull consumed
1: left-thigh bruise from “no-hands steering”
0: thoughts that driving at 80mph, taking photographs, listening to music, steering with my leg, and mobile publishing (simultaneously) might not be the safest way to travel.

Reasons to use Disqus

marco:

I’m an avid anti-commenter, yet I find these compelling. They offer some great features that I didn’t realize were there.

I’m still not going to have comments here, but if I wanted them, I’d certainly use Disqus.

 I’ve had a comment-less site for maybe three weeks after using Disqus for a while… But I might enable it again.

Updated Muxtape: That’s What’s Up
Brand new Kidz in the Hall, Elzhi (woweewowee), Cool Kids, Black Milk, Guilty Simpson, and J Dilla. Yes, that’s right… the Midwest is what’s up. Chicago and Detroit… running hip-hop.

Chicago did a great job breaking real talented artists into the mainstream… with Kanye, Common and Lupe. I can’t think of another city that currently has 3 huge and viable commercial artists who just representthe original ethos of hip hop.

Not that you HAVE to be commerically viable, but yeah… co-sign.
