It's not Mundane. it's Monday.

Monday is my favorite day of the week. I've said it time and time again and I'll continue to yell it from a mountain top.

If you want me to not like you, complain about Mondays.

I will think you're narrow minded, have a lack of imagination and a lack of self. Gosh, you probably don't even have a backbone! Yes, I'm harsh critic (an exaggerating harsh critic.)

"Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them." - Charles Bukowski (on what I think he also thought of people that didn't like Monday)

Mondays are reflective and solitary. Two beautiful things. No one wants to party on Mondays or socialize for the most part and I think that's why i love it.

My life seems to be filled with compromises of some sort every other day of the week. (except for Friday's as well. As my mother says "Friday's are tacky. Everyone goes out on Fridays")

So that's why Monday is MY day, my FREE day. Even when in a serious relationship, my bf has always known I will not see you on Monday.

My parents know that I will not come over nor partake in family events (which rarely happen on Mondays) and I think my friends don't even bother to call me. Its just me...free of human interaction, alone with my thoughts (and an internet full of whimsical information to offer.)

freee to come home, latharge around the house a bit, cook if i want to, order something delicious if i want to, i can go running or walking, I can play tennis...and then the best part.....

everything that happens after about 9pm.

I usually fall asleep the latest on Monday nights because Ive "done" so much.

things one can "do" on a Monday:

- thoroughly organize a random room/shelf/drawer of your house- discover new things/ or new ways of looking at old things

- create a list of some sort...lists of sorts are great. today i made a list "places ill go next summer" (the lists don't even have to be realistic)

- get a bunch of old magazines and cut out pictures of things you like

- cook a random dish you wouldn't mind screwing up because your by yourself

- bubble baths/facial masks/random bizarre facial treatments you read about online or in magazines

- watch a bunch of different TED talks

- practice giving your own TED talk

-record yourself giving your own TED talk (a girl can dream, can't she?)

- read different tumblr's and play "say a number between 1-500 and go to that page"

- browse different playlists on playlist.com of random genres you're only a lil bit curious about

- plan your birthday party (doesnt have to be the soonest one coming, just a killer birthday you would one day like to have)

- write.

- go to Walgreens and buy cards and fill them out and send them or keep them

- browse different blogs on random subjects. start by typing "people that love ____" and see the bizarreness or simplicity of the things that arise (today's was "PEOPLE THAT LOVE GLASS")

- google things you are interested in knowing about but not so interested that you'd go out of your way to learn about it (for example: gargoyles ) (go ahead. ask me anything)

- browse pinterest/make your own pinterest/plan on making your own pinterest by saving random pics of things that are pinteresting. (*giggles*)

- watch random short segments from "20/20" on abc.com - The Van Gogh segment is a good one.

whatever you do, dont turn on the TV and just sit there simply existing, passing time...mindlessly laughing at less than funny comedy (or if you want me to really snarl at you: reality shows)

If there is anything that has expanded my imagination or just made life more interesting, its not turning on the TV (except for World News at 6:30pm with Diane Sawyer: its 30 minutes, thats about all you need).

Not turning on the TV causes you to look elsewhere for entertainment (and i dont mean facebook or youtube videos of funny cats (that's for sundays, not mondays).

And by "entertainment" i mean knowledge and not in that "im holier than thou with all this snotty knowledge ive acquired"

Google why things happen, read about current evens in countries you've never heard of, research nebulas.

I mean, its only for the sake of Monday. If you can't spend at least 30 minutes of your night learning about something then i don't even know what to tell you.

Instead of existing, wonder. And once you've wondered, take the next step: learn.

How nice- to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive. - Kurt Vonnegut

Who knows, maybe one day at a random dinner party a conversation about the history of gargoyles will strike up and you'll be able to give your own two cents.

pssst, and just in case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle
