Well it is Friday! My mom is coming down to visit tonight, and I'm up fairly early to clean and be ready for it.
The Blazers lost last night and their season is over. Can you imagine if they had Kevin Durant instead of Greg Oden? I feel bad for Oden, as I'm sure he knows many people are imagining this scenario.

Intense day
630am: Wake up and wait for my friend John to take me to my first Rotary meeting. The meeting was a lot of information by a lady who does a lot with the culinary school/food preparations for LCC. Informative and impassioned. Rotary seems like a great, positive outlet for a lot of the energies I've saved up. Altruism is such a beautiful thing.
Came home and watched bits of Robert Bresson's Pickpocket. Ominous.
Work starts at 11am. I blew up on Ramona yesterday - this has been an incredibly stressful weeks - and so its still pervades my working mind. She didn't come in until 5pm.
Around 1pm, a nice guy who is caring for his mother comes in and we're chatting. His mom took around 10 pills of depakote (certainly an overdose) about 7 hours before he went in to see her and was told by our pharmacist to seek immediate medical attention and she may have resulting brain damage. Scary moment. Is this the last we'll hear of the problem?
At around 3pm, a regular of ours came in to tell me that my bike had been stolen. This is the bike I've ridden pretty much every day since November when my car got a flat. That's 5+ months of solid riding. I'm going to miss it :/

Long weekend, sans family
I was going to go to Washington and see my family and it all fell through. :/ It will definitely happen in May!

Reflection
My apartment is a mess; it reflects the state of my mind.
Do I finish school? Do I try and write, solely, and shoot for making money that way? Do I bust my ass and apply for grad school? So many questions to parse, so much self-discipline to mete out.
Work, which is my main priority, is pretty good. I am still learning, trying also to bend and mold myself into becoming the best pharmacy technician I can be. It's a living wage, and with raises, I can do pretty good for myself. So do I just stay here and save up money, perhaps trying to finish school, bit by bit? I can write poetry, stories, essays, and even screenplays. I can save and find good film production supplies. I do love Eugene, and what better place to hone myself, my passions. I can find people to be in a band with. I can do this if I really want it. So do I really want it?
I have discovered yet another hero. With such a ridiculous disparity of wealth in the United States, and a whiny fear of taxation, here is why. Guess what?? That top 1% taxation wouldn't effect anyone that I know.
So going up to Washington this weekend. Very excited to see my family. My dad, mom, brother, Ada, and Mike. Maybe a friend or two. A gig for my brother. Taking my bike, so I'm going to journey around town a bit, check out the pawn shops, etc. :) I am kinda sad to miss the Eugene Public Library book sale.

Day 2
Ok, so according to my blog entry dates, this should be day 3, but since I didn't make an entry yesterday, so be it.
Going to go sell some cds and fart around downtown. I'm going to see Death Cab for Cutie in May, courtesy of my friend Brigette. What Sarah Said, I Will Follow You into the Dark, Passenger Seat, New Year, Brothers On a Hotel Bed, Transatlanticism, and We Looked Like Giants all get the nomination for best song ever.
