Ode to Sunday...

For my money Sunday is the best day of the week. It seems like a lot of people are huge fans of Friday and Saturday, but if you ask me the name says it all; and on the seventh day god said, let this day of funny pages and sleeping-in be named after the great warm feeling of the sun. And so Sunday was made specifically to be spent hanging out.

I get the allure of Friday - end of the work week (unless you work on the weekends) and it's the start of two and a half days off. People go out, movies are released, you can stay up as late as you want and still have two days to recover - it's a great day. And Saturday, doesn't get a whole lot better than that. Wake up late, do whatever you want with whoever you want, hang out at night and be reckless.

A lot of people (pessimists) see Sunday as the last day before the week begins. They dread Sunday because it means you have to start to buckle down and get ready for another week of workin for the money. But not this guy. To me Sunday is the Thanksgiving of weekdays. As many of you may have heard me say before, Thanksgiving is hands down the best holiday of the year. It's all the Christmas spirit (friends, family, getting together, giving thanks, appreciating life) without the commercialization of it. It's all about family without gifts and getting together just to see each other. Same goes with Sunday. It's all about relaxing. Getting up whenever, brunch (who doesn't love brunch), watching the Lions (another reason I love Thanksgiving so much) and hanging out. No one feels the need to get dolled up and booze it up, people just want to relax and hang out. You really can't beat that.

Not sure why I'm bringing this up on a Tuesday, but when this weekend rolls around, let me know what the best day of it was and hopefully you shallow losers realize that Sunday is where the party's at, not where the Bacardi at. I'm out. Go big or go home.
