I remember when you signed me up for a summer art program where I learned how to paint, and do arts and crafts doodling crap. It’s funny how things work out. Almost a decade later, you paid for me to go to an auto-acceptance Art Institute in Chicago/San Fransisco/New York City/Los Angeles. I went for a year, and you paid the $30,000 tuition, and you paid for my rent. You also bought me a Macbook because I wanted the little camera thingy, even though you bought me an iBook 3 months earlier.
