OK, it's Saturday night again, and I'm sitting home again.
Thank god!
When I was much younger, I used to be a tiny bit envious of two kinds of people: those who have a formal education, and those who go out in the weekend.
Now, I am not at all.
On the first one: I know more and I earn far more than most of those people, so what's to worry.
On the second one: going to a smelly pub and getting my ears ruined with noise and my brains cells murdered with booze and coke? I don't think so.
I mean, even if you limit it to an economical viewpoint: look at the cost! Even in the cheap end of town, that is easily a few hundred dollars per month. If you save that up, you'll be a millionaire in a couple of decades, even doing nothing more. Not to mention you will have retained much more brain power, and you might even have used the time saved to educate yourself a little, no? Or just get your sleep, too little sleep is rampant these days, and it is not healthy.
Me, I'm really happy with my "unglamorous" life. :)

Yesssss with age comes wisdom. Nothing against sitting in a cosy pub to indulge in a meal and a Guiness ok. Then getting back to studying, learning, and enjoying the wonderful gift of our lives.
There are milestones in our lives. Apparently you must be one in mine, eloake: a) I saw domai a while ago. It made me more confident of what my feelings (towards esp. human beauty) are.
b) I joined blogger, which I discovered while tracking back your domai links.
c) I found lee's comment. Now I'm checking all internet-related things I can find about him. He's a remarkable person. Another milestone on the path of my life to the cold hell where I will end up for sure **giggle, 'cos I love summer's heat.
Thanks to you all, partners on this globe!
This is a good day.
I`ve never been a `clubber`, even when I was younger. I enjoy the warmth of my home, with my free time there for me to work on artwork, surf the net, read a book, or watch a documentary or film on TV....or just relax for a very long time in a hot bath!
However, it is nice to meet friends in a pub, share some stories and catch up on events, have a good discussion, and just generally share some time over a few glasses.
Strangely enough, I never do that at the weekend, I prefer a weekday evening, when the pubs will be quiet.
Weekend evenings are my own time!
Every has its purpose. Therefore, pubs as well have their purposes. The purpose of a pub is not only to drink alcohol and smoke, but to chill-out together and socialize.
