in Detroit...need to poop.

So i'm back in Detroit for a few weeks. I really needed a break from work, and just in time too. Although i guess it's not really a vacation...seeing how the office set me up with a folder of designs i need to get done and sent back to them by the end of next week. oh well, atleast i dont' have to actually be at the office, but i wouldn't say being back in detroit is any better. The one good thing i'd say is that i get to see my Desiree and family again. which is really nice.

Anyways, last week was the opening of "One to Grow On" show, the opening was great. there was a really big turn out and huge thanks to Metro Mix and Smashed Chair for covering the event. here's a link to a little blurb smashed chair did on the event, including a few interviews on some of the attending artists http://www.smashedchair.com/interviews/one_to_grow_on/1988.html

so lately i've been painting more on paper in small sizes...and i think...

ok damnit...i can't finish this blog right now...i'm sitting in Panera Bread right now leaching on their free wi-fi...but i have 4 kids crying in my ear right now and i'm about to punch all of them in the back of the head. now i don't mind kids, i actually like kids. but when their crying is motivated by absolutely NOTHING...

YOU GET A PUNCH IN THE HEAD!!

you know, i don't know what it is about parents these days, but you guys need to take some time out of your busy day to sit down with your kids and hit them. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL!? it'll take like 5 seconds! my mom used to beat the shit out of me and my brother when we were kids. i turned out all right. pbbsssssh...bunch of sissy parents these days, i tell ya.

ok i need to get out of here, i'll post something else later.
