New Milowerx Media website!

I am proud to announce the new Milowerx Media Website! The old site has been taken down and replaced with a brand spankin new site run in WordPress complete with YouTube type movies and a much better way of organizing all my content! I could never have done it without my brother Andy who put the whole thing together and helped me bend Wordpress when it wasn’t doing what I wanted it to.

I hope you take some time to check out the website and let me know what you think!

My Love

In another example of departure for me and my typical art, I tried painting a portrait of my wife the last few days. It came out alright considering I suck at anything remotely realistic but it just doesn’t look exactly like her. I tried to get it as close as possible but it was just too hard. This is as good as it gets for now. I’m going to try another one and we’ll see where that takes me. This was painted in Sketchbook Pro 2009.

Dear Billy,
Nice spelling. You’re on your way to a career in lawn care.
How about I send you a frickin book so you can learn to read and write?
I’m giving your older brother the space ranger. At least HE can spell!
Santa

———-
Dear Santa,
I have been a good girl all year, and the only thing I ask
for is peace and joy in the world for everybody!
Love,
Sarah
Dear Sarah,
Your parents smoked pot when they had you, didn’t they?
Santa

———-
Dear Santa,
I don’t know if you can do this, but for Christmas, I’d
like for my mommy and daddy to get back together. Please see what you can do?
Love
Teddy

Dear Teddy,
Look, your dad’s banging the babysitter like a screen door
in a hurricane. Do you think he’s gonna give that up to come back to your frigid mom, who rides his ass constantly? It’s time to give up that dream.
Let me get you some nice Legos instead.
Santa

———-
Dear Santa,
I want a new bike, a Playstation, a train, some G.I. Joes,
a dog, a drum kit, a pony and a tuba.
Love,
Francis

Christmas Spice Cookies!


My amazing wife just finished baking a double batch of my favorite cookies in the world: Spice cookies!

My mom made these every year for my brother and I at Christmas time and I have to say since she’s passed on I miss eating them… Never fear! My wife is here!

These are a very old recipe from my great grandmother’s recipe box and I thought there might be someone out there who might like to try this classic and seasonal recipe.

Momma Milo’s Spice Cookies

Mix thoroughly together:

  • 3/4 cup soft shortening
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup of molassses
  • 2 cups of sifted flour

Sift it all together and stir in:

  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/45 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp cloves
  • 3/4 tsp ginger

Mix thoroughly and form into balls the size of small walnuts. Place about an inch and a half apart on a greased baking sheet and bake 10-12 min. at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.


Take out of the oven and let sit for 3 minutes.



Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar while warm!


Enjoy!

P.S.

While you certainly don’t have to do it all in this order I recommend cooking them before eating them! Oh yeah and I dare you not to enjoy them!

Snow on Oat Mtn!

Well the unthinkable happened again in L.A.! We had snow on the mountain behind our home! Amazing!

You might not think it’s so incredible but we were literally having 80 degrees plus only days ago!

Idiots of 2008

Number One Idiot of 2008
A medical student was doing a rotation in toxicology at
the poison control center.  A woman called in very upset
because she caught her little daughter eating ants.  The student quickly
reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need
to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end
of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some
ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants.
The student told her that she better bring her daughter in to the emergency room
right away.

Number Two Idiot of 2008
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal
a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it
outof the plane and home. Shortly after they took it for a float on
theriver, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming toward them.
It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency
locater beacon that activated when the raft was inflated.  They are no
longer employed at Boeing. (more…)
