Monday Is A Holiday

With my newfound freedom, I’ve declared every Monday to be a holiday. This works very well for me. For one thing, I can’t drive on a Monday– number coding and all that. Not that I plan to go out of my bedroom of course. I am like Thoreau who retreated to the woods; in my case it’s my bedroom. I refuse to see people except on the weekends when I’d rather see Bangus at some fish pond which as given me a lot of satisfaction. I guess I’m anti-human now and pro-bangus.

Having freed myself from my former life’s bondage, one would think that I would be eagerly jumping from one bus to another excited to see the world. That’s not what’s happening however. I have instead indulged myself in all those things that I’ve only been ‘stealing’ before. Those guilty pleasures that have kept me up all night and and were the cause of my perennial grogginess in the office.

I’m reading manga like crazy and re-discovering the joy of writing. Writing however has become a more multi-faceted tool in my case. I still write ‘stuff’, but I balance it out with err.. commercial activities. Whoever said that you can’t mix business with pleasure has a cork stuffed somewhere in the vicinity of his genitalia.

Back to Mondays. It’s a pretty amazing feeling to have a three-day weekend every time. Although I am no longer confined to hours and should not have a care in the world as to what time or what day of the week it is. I still like to keep an unofficial work week. Maybe it’s something that has been deeply ingrained but having my own peculiar work week allows me to schedule things. And lord knows I need to schedule things.

Nevetheless it’s pretty amazing how a stress free life feels. I wish everyone gets to experience this thing even for a short while. And just because I’ve banned Monday from my ‘work life’, here’s Hey Monday!

The acoustic version is more fantastic but youtube.com won’t allow it to be embedded. Boo. Still, check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnvxqiMiIcA
