best to avoid mondays. the business of it all. people trying to make up for a weekend of sin and waste by overcompensating at the start of the week. it is the time when the starting gun fires and streams of people rush forward towards an imaginary finish line. confusion and angst via with an unpleasant unease that permeates the streets and offices. if you want to see purposeless disguised as focus head out into monday mornings in a big city and watch the rush of the morning commute. a waste of energy and certainly bad for anyone that gets in its way.

so i purposely avoid it. bury my head under the pillow, mute the phone and schedule anything other then work. avoiding responsibility suits me fine as it will resurface the following day in a much more pleasant form. without angst or deadlines, much of what we do is to ourselves. we torture and mistreat our bodies and minds while creating some unnecessary requirements that drag us into circles and form patterns and habits that seemingly come from nowhere, like the morning monday commute. till one day you are sitting in traffic anxiously trying to get someplace you would rather not me.

perhaps the week is meant to be broken. pushing monday into a sunday allows you to rest and debate and imagine what it is we are doing here. to find a time to be alone, not with others. you can take saturday to run your errands or work. instead of joining the race you can watch it from the sidelines, avoid it and all the work and wreckage it brings with it. a purposeless day that has inspired countless jokes and characters like garfield showing its discontent for such a moment in the week must be avoided at all cost if one is to keep their happiness in tact. i could argue this for each other day of the week, but in particular for this one.
