You wild college kids: going to art museums and not getting your work done!

Thatās what I was thinkingā¦ I would be looking for more housework to do before volunteering for an art museum.
Mock conversation:
Wife: āhey babe, thereās this art museum I wanted to go to-ā
Me: āOh, Iād love to go, but I havo so much schoolwork to doā
Wife: āyeah, but you donāt really care about your school stuffā
Me: āI know, but I also have to, uhhā¦ clean the gutters? and sweep the yardā¦?ā
If having to choose between going to an art museum and getting kicked in the nards, Iād choose the latter. At least my balls would shrink without me feeling like Iād been imasculated that way.

An art museum is actually one of the original ways I corrupted my wife.
Sheās an amazing student. Graduated valedictorian, 4.0+, etc etc. I am a slacker. We balance each other.
She was taking an art class in undergrad that required her to go to the local museum, look at paintings, and write stuff about them. She had no personal vehicle, nor did I. She was upset about having to take the bus downtime to do this, as it was a major time sink.
I told her āGo to google, find the website for the museum. Find out what paintings they have. Go on google images and look at the paintings. Your professor will have no idea that you werenāt looking at the originals in personā
The idea had never even entered her thought matrix before. I could see her contemplating the sheer evil of itā¦

Dude, I made up a āfamily treeā for one of my undergrad courses. Once again, some dude spent the whole weekend on the phone having to amend severely damaged relationships within families to find out his own personal family history. I asked him āHow will the professor know more about MY family than me?ā
The look on his face when he realized how much pain he enudred for nothingā¦

I confess that if given the option to bullshit something and still get a good grade - I will ALWAYS bullshit it.
Has you wife since converted to the dark side?
Sheās a true Jedi: balanced.
I am pure Sith.

If I havenāt played it yet, itās still a great game to me and I have enough left over to eat grass fed steak while playing.
Speaking of which I have a grass fed flank steak in my freezer I have no clue what to do with.
I remember in one of my high school spanish classes we were learning about spanish art or something like that. That was when I learned that Salvador Dali painted hitler jacking off

Looking at great art would make you feel emasculated?
Maybe thatās not the right term for itā¦ Whatever term that describes the feeling of total testosterone levels plummeting - that would be the accurate term.
No shade to anyone that appreciates art, I just think itās stuffy and uninteresting. It takes a lot of skill to do, in the professional sense; its just not for me
Do it, art museums can be awesome. I went and saw a Gustav Klimt exhibit in NYC last year, it was super small so only took 30 or so minutes but was well worth it. I was in DC a few years back and spent an entire afternoon wandering around the Smithsonian American Art Museum. I know absolutely nothing about art from either a technical or historical perspective but it can be captivating in a very unique way.

My evil coach) added Bulgarians (rear elevated split squat) back into my program for this training block. I decided to do a few reps last week in my deload week so I could get ahead of the doms for this week.
I did the first ones last night and they felt OK and I confess I woke this morning thinking I was a genius and my plans had worked.
3 hours later I am sitting in the office at work wondering if it possible to buy a new ar$e from somewhere close by. Damn I hate that that exercise.
