Saturday Night's All Right

I hope you had a good time. Did you wear a green hat and drink too much? Did you leave work early? If you had it booked off then I guess you're a forward thinker. I love the reasoning. It's fun. It's a chance to blow off a little steam. I'm Irish.

I was in the middle of a bar over-stuffed and under-staffed. People puked on the floor and treated each other with the usual amount of distrust and disdain. They fought and fell onto the sidewalk together and then crawled off home to weather out their Saturday on the couch.

It's only once a year, if you forget the night before and the week before that or every other night that preceded this one. It's a special occasion like any other; I just got fired, I broke up with my girlfriend or I deserve it for making it through another week.

Eventually the hangover will recede and you'll forget the pain and remember only other, newer, pains. Next weekend is coming, though, and you'll have another week's worth of good reasons to do it all again. I like that about you. You really use your brain. I hope you had a good time.
