because things happen sometimes

i'm on coffee

i miss my knoxville crew: noah, ginny, shiloh, emerson, steph, paisley, ....even the people i don't keep up with anymore...jennifer, katie, jenny, jeremy, jacob,stenson, brian huddleston, cassie, rikki, jade, asya, nikki, matt, chris story, chloe. that was a long time ago.

i miss my columbus crew: addie, jim, michael, liz, brian, betsy, kate, gina, and now sara sexton, matt clark. these talented freaking people. the first art family i ever knew

i wish they were all here for a bear hug.

i went home for a couple of hours today

i talked to my dad on the phone for like 2 hours. and about everything.

we talked about the history channel and about how he hates modern marvels because its modern. we talked about how he ended up paying 38.57 for a 20 dollar oil change. and i talked about how nice it would be to be home and worry about paying too much for an oil change. we talked about kids and cell phones. we talked about reality shows and why he's obsessed with turner classic movies. we talked about revolution and about whats coming for my generation.

and then i came back to chicago.

now i'm painting an encouraging banner for myself because things happen sometimes.

i love you mom, its just hard to call you when i'm so upset. i just need a little bit of time. but i'm fine, i'm okay.
