Workshop is going OK right now. Integrating everyone together and if all goes as planned, we should be shooting something as early as next week. I have to see how well I can integrate the other instructors into this thing. I should be going down to Akron to see "The Hot Rain," but I have to meet with one of the directing students and I have to have to get business cards for the "Disney" event on Wednesday. Can't say too much on that till it is over.

Been playing chess with Dave again. Dave's like family. I get pissed at him and don't talk to him for a while, but then I get back to talking to him again.

And I got a chance to see my girl Jess H in Chicago. She was hot. I even incorporated her singing and dancing into the TV pilot. Which by God, I have to finish next month. Computer went weird on me, so I still have my data, but I think I have to load Premiere again and I know I have to clean up the drive. At least I didn't lose any data, just spent over $400 replacing the motherboard. Still, I got more memory and a faster chip. Which doesn't do me any good till I clean up the system,

That should take about a week.

The EVENT is this coming Sunday. I invited people I thought might appreciate it, but they got offended when I said they had to wear a suit and tie. And then they threw the "Black people like us don't wear suit and ties." The funny thing is black people like that always call you brother. Heck, Dave is like my brother and he's Italian. This black guy is right about one thing that he said. I don't know him. True. And I don't want to. My grandmother use to say, that there's too many people in the world to get involved with people you shouldn't. And that I agree with.

I talked to my Little Girl this week. She is OK. Which is great. I invited her to the Event, so it will be nice to see if she can make it.

A lot of last minute details for it.

I sent out almost a hundred letters (well with the e-mails probably closer to two hundred) inviting people to the Event. I did stay focused on attracting people who are supportive of the arts. So, you may ask yourself and I do too, why did I invite this "brother" of mine? Well, I excluded him at first, then I felt, well it might be OK. I still like to give people opportunites. Still, it wasn't too much to ask someone to dress up. If I see him, I will be civil, but not say much.

I was talking to my friend Peggy who thought I was mad at her cause she said somethig and I told her the honest truth about what I thought. No, I told her, people who I care about, I tell the truth, those who I don't I don't say too much to and those who I hate, I just lie to. In fact some of the people I hate, probably think I like them.

Been keeping busy, so I haven't focused on somethings too much. Still I feel the EVENT will be a turning point of some sorts as to how I chose to continue with things. I feel I am doing what I can, but I still feel like I'm missing something.
