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.

Day 1
Busy weekend and end of week ahead. Work has been busy. I played basketball at the UO Rec Center for the first time since Christmas break in Washington with my bro and Shane. Every part of my body is sore, and I'm ecstatic. Rumor has it we'll be playing Friday night as well. I hope this works out.
So, Friday night basketball didn't work out. My new friend Niels went awol. Just finished The Mutiny on the Bounty (1935, 7.0/10), which finishes a week full of early Best Picture Oscar winners, starting with the first, the silent Wings (1927, 6.0/10) and including The Broadway Melody (1929, 6.2/10). Thus far I've been underwhelmed, though I found Mutiny on the Bounty to be rather entertaining. Apparently Charles Laughton was known for saying that modern actors give you a photograph and real actors give you an oil painting. He fell into the latter grouping indeed.
Now on to Visconti movied, The Damned.

I will be internetless for a bit, trying to get my finances lined up properly. Please be patient. :)

3.19.11
Haiti, Egypt, Wisconsin, Japan, and now Libya. What a crazy past year this has been. So much going on in the world. Time names their person of the year, while the whole world is burning, and there are many more important things going on.
Personally, I have been trying very hard to break through and become a more organized person, typically in baby steps.
