AGO

I went to the Art Gallery of Ontario yesterday with Anita. I haven't seen Anita in like a year and it was great to see her again. At the AGO they had a special King Tut exhibit with artifacts that were found in his tomb. It was pretty amazing to see artifacts that old. Anyways, after the exhibit we looked around the Gallery and saw paintings by artists like Picasso and Emily Carr. I'm not that good with art but I definitely want to go back and look again. There was a huge section with Art from Haida Gwaii, close to home! We even ran into Nathan and his friend, that was so random. I didn't take any pictures, I wasn't allowed. It's funny I must have tried to go to the AGO like four times and it never worked out. I even went last year on my birthday and it was closed, I was so disappointed. So I have this problem that has been on my mind for a very long time. I work with this man who is very troubled. He's in his 50's and struggles with money big time. He was fired from his last two jobs and only has one left where he only works 3 hours a day. He can't buy food because he can't afford it, he is 4 months behind on his rent, he has no family, and he has a big drinking problem. I want to help him but no one can. When you give him money he buys alcohol, when you buy him clothes, gifts, etc. he just gives it to his lover that totally uses him. I try to give him food and stuff but I can't do this forever. I even help him on the Internet to look for jobs. He only wants to be a server and now a days no one wants to hire a male server who is over 50. A lot of people have tried helping him but just gave up because he will never change. I'm afraid he might end up on the streets or even lose his only job. Right now I just listen to his problems and give him whatever advice I can. Sighhh.
