Friday Bliss

Friday, I love you. Let me count the ways.

To start off, at 8 a.m. on FM 949, there is the Friday Morning Blues Set. You'd think that this being the blues and all it should go on Monday, but the music is just too good to give up to the worst day of the week. This was today's set

August 28, 2009
Johnny Winter - "Mean Mistreater" (1969)
Taj Mahal - "She Caught the Katy" (1968)
Robert Johnson - "Hell Hound On My Trail" (1937)

Next, I walk into work, where there is an assortment of free donuts and bagels just waiting for me to eat. And you know, I'm a whore for a free meal.

Then I get to my desk, open up my computer, and log on to be reminded that, oh yeah, today was pay day. Now I have something in my account that I can watch leak out slowly until the next week.

By 1:30 p.m. I'm at the Renaissance Shopping Complex, in front of Rubios, eating sack lunch with my great friend, Jen Bantleman. We talk about being art thieves, how to test if women are pregnant with alcohol and cigarettes, and proper church etiquette.

The rest of the work day drags, as if it were any other day, but then I come home, cook a great dinner, and chill with my girlfriend in front of the television.

Now, if that damn heat would go away...
