The 8th Day

GC-YS1037

I don’t know about you but I’m bored with the same seven days of the week. We are stuck in such a rut. Monday starts the week, we trek on thru to Wednesday, Hump day, then drag on to Friday, which we screw off on as much as possible because it’s the start of the weekend, and then we have Saturday and Sunday. These are days that are supposed to be ours. Days we don’t have to work because they’re supposed to be our break so we can have fun or lay around in our bathrobes all day if we want.

But not only do we have to work on Saturday mostly, some of us have to work on Sunday too. There it is, the weekend shot to hell. What kind of break is that? A bad one, that’s what. So I’m proposing the addition of another day, the 8th day, and it would be called Lugusday after the Celtic god of the arts and magic and all things interesting. It would be slotted in right between Saturday and Sunday and it would give us that extra break we’ve been needing for a long time.

But the coolest thing about the 8th day is, because it is Lugus’ day and he’s in charge of the arts and magic, that means you get to go and see and do whatever you want on that day. Let’s say you’re sitting home and there’s nothing good on the box, your team didn’t make the playoffs and you’re sort of at loose ends, you can simply say, “Hey! I wonder what is going on at The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone” and poof your butt is right there, like in the image above. Seeing it, feeling it, being a part of it. Word of caution though, dress warm before you say it out loud because it happens fast and if you’re not prepared you’ll be standing there in your tighty-whities freezing your you-know-what off. Course you can always immediately say “Hey! I wonder what’s happening in Bora Bora” and the problems solved.

There it is, the 8th day, Whataya think? You want it? Think it’ll work? I do. In fact I’m in Jamaica-mon, sitting on the beach with my toes in the warm sand watching the waves roll in as I write this. So if your heart is pure and you’ve done something good this week just say “Hey! I wonder what……” and take off, eh. See you on Monday.
