I want to see this art exhibit and this one too. Hopefully I'll be able to soon. They are going on through October and November, so I should be able to make it. I gotta take my son too, I think he'll get a kick out of Basquiat because it's really going to challenge his idea of art. He's really careful these days to draw and color everything he does neatly and inside the lines, and everything has to make sense. He loves art and history though, so I think he'll love it. Plus, now that public schools barely have enough money to operate, they don't take field trips anymore so I need to take him everywhere. Not that I mind, but I would have loved to go on field trips with his classes. Oh well, maybe when we have the next kid there will be a decent governor in office and we can have our programs back. His school even lost it's music program. Shitty. I thought about private school, but all the ones near here are christian, and I really can't allow that. I'd have to spend another 8 hours a day deprogramming him!

My friend is having a hysterectomy today. She just turned 28. Scary. We've been best friends since kindergarten. I'm gonna try to see her after work but visiting hours will be over so we'll see.

Oh, a close girlfriend of mine is making me go to 'Beat it' so she can help me talk to girls.....I hate the idea of "picking up chicks" it seems creepy. She says I've lost my game. She's so right. 'sigh'....I just hate not knowing what to say, and small talk, and especially rejection! I guess my ego is just too fragile in that department. She says my picky taste is just an excuse too. I disagree on that one. I have to be picky! If the girl I'm talking to is stupid then I'm not going to be attracted to her, period. We'll see what happens. Go with the flow.....
