Weekend Warrior

Literally feel like the past four nights have been a battle of booze and babes.
(Disclaimer: The babes in the sense that Smith has many, many of them and therefore they have been a part of my weekend)
Anyway, tonight let's chat about the pros and cons of starting your weekend on Wednesday night. Here in Noho, Wednesday night means drag night at Divas downtown. Usually pretty entertaining, cute girls, fun gay men...not such a good idea to attempt a visit sober...and definitely not a great idea if you have class at or before 9 am the next morning. Although this hardly stops anyone.

So, you've hit up Divas on Wednesday: saw some drag, danced around- maybe on stage, and hopefully found a cozy ride home instead of having to brave the chilly fall air. Thursday morning rolls around, you're totally miserable, but hopefully the night before was fun enough to make it worth the headache (remember to drink water throughout the night to prevent this headache!).

Thursday night, party? Why not. If you aren't bound to science labs all day on Friday and instead have the freedom of the 3 day weekend, have some fun! I'm not saying the four day party weekend is a good idea every weekend. No, no, no. It should only be attempted rarely to save your body from complete and utter exhaustion. So, you've committed to Thursday. It's happening. You're raging. Good job. There's always the option to take either Friday or Saturday night off, but that's a bit more tricky as more people are generally up for a good time.

Now, the pros and cons of putting your body through the four-day-warrior-weekend. This is not a serious term, I'm basically referencing the self-label of "warrior" that occurred the other day while talking to my co-DJ (DJ Pearlz) at a hungover brunch.

Pros:
  • FUN! Everyone needs a break from school and real life now and then. Kick back. Take some time to relax and play. We all need it.
  • Breaking up the week. Why only have fun two nights of the week? Going out on Wednesday keeps you sane from the hellish amount of work and life dramz that can happen during the week.
  • Dancing=endorphins! Good for the mind and body!
Cons:
  • $$$: Going out/liquid refreshments can be expensive
  • Lack of motivation for school work: exhaustion seeps in and who wants to do a paper outline or read about Bourdieu's stance on the field of education when our beds are oh so comfortable and napping is oh so nice?
  • Bad life decisions. Always a possibility over the course of that many drunken escapades.

Speaking of bad life decisions, I've chosen to write this post instead of reading Suburban Warriors: The Origins of the New American Right... oh well! The night is young!
