Friday means boring….

What? Friday means boring? It means boring.

Fridays means end of the week. The work week is over. It’s time to chill out. It’s time to hang out with friends. With family. With relatives. With other people whose company you enjoy. Two days of downtime, rest and recreation. Sunday is going to be another good day with a start in the church. Then you’re ready for another week.

But if you find not much to do on a Friday night. Saturday will be the same. Then what? You find yourself thinking, “Thank God, the week is over, I don’t have to work for 2 days.” Then you think, “Oh the weekend is here, I have nothing to do.” You’re bored and hoping for Monday just in the big hope of having something to do again.

The party animals and the “happening” people will probably not understand this point. But those sitting home thinking where’s my stash of Star Trek understand this point good enough.

I say someday, I’ll break out of the rut. And I mean it. In the meantime, I’m starting to break out of it and starting the journey to break out of the rut.

New Year

Happy new year to all readers. May the new year bring a lot of good things, and fullfillment of long held dreams.

In this new year, I have decided to spend more time going to church, hanging out with church friends, and to find a band. I have been looking for a band for a long time but never actually searched. I have been in looking mode.

In this new year, I would also like to take more chances to be adventurous and to have more fun. Too often we let work and other small things take so much of our time that we don’t get to appreciate the present. We don’t get to sit down and relax for a moment. We don’t really get to take a deep breath and thank God for all the great things around us. Many of us live in the future. We think when this happens or when that happens, then I’ll do the next step. Or then I’ll really enjoy. But we’re not guaranteed tomorrow. This, the present, is all we have. So I thank God for it. And I pray this new year will be a great year of blessings.
