Ok I feel guilty. I am going monday nite with friends for a drink at the bar in the Westin hotel--the really expensive one but I am only going to get one drink yet here I am living big while my mom is on the streets--well in a shelter. But I am in Job Corps and I really want to treat myself to this. I have a Motorola silvr phone which I saved up for and it takes really good nite pictures. I will show some of the Olypmic Park watershows that I took in my next post--but I really want to see the city from the top of the Sundial--at the Westin. My two friends and I are cheap LOL so we will be sparing with our budgets but here I am doing what I want to do and my mother is unable to do that. I am doing all I can for her yet I still feel guilty. I am saving $$ and am doing well at my job and in class. I deserve to treat myself don't I?

I am doing a major power point presentation for my school and of course, I chose Homelessness in America as the topic. I am nervous about speaking in front of others but since its on a topic that I am passionate about and I want this to be on people's minds. That will be on Tuesday or Wednesday--I hope Wednesday.

Got some people interested in my art at work and someone from downtown who wants to see my porfolio so I really need to update it. Andre 3000 from Outkast has a piece of my art and told me that I could put him on my Clientele List and I need to do that. He was at an art festival where I had my work at in June. I have his autograph LOL. So I am going to hop offline and paint like crazy.

Good luck with your presentation! I'm sure it will be great!

It's okay
You have a right to enjoy an evening. Heck, you have a right to enjoy your whole life. It's admirable that you dedicate so much of your energy to helping others, but don't forget to take care of yourself, too. Ultimately, you're your own responsibility, your mother is her own responsibility, and the same goes for the rest of us living on this planet.
