The weekend is finally here

No, I haven’t gone mad – yet. Nor have I downed a bottle of whiskey nor taken a massive cocktail of drugs. I’m well aware that it is technically Tuesday today, but I was busy the whole weekend with work.

I stayed up past 1 am last night while igniting the midnight petroleum, finishing a few write-ups.

Tried to sleep in this morning, without much success. Got up, downed a double-shot iced coffee and finally finished the last write-up.

There is nothing in my calendar until Thursday – nothing. Just a few days I can actually do something without being concerned about deadlines.

Which is why this Tuesday is kind of like a Saturday to me, and tomorrow is Sunday.

Of course, I might end up doing some writing, as I have an idea for a column, and I can’t stop thinking like a journo, but it has no deadline. I can work on it whenever.

But now, I’ll just surf the web for a bit. Try to relax and not feel obligated to do anything at all. Just lurk around Twitter, or something.

Night before tomorrow…

Tomorrow all hell might break lose. Or maybe it is more accurate to say, all stress will break lose?

From tomorrow I have about a week to write about 3,500 words. One essay about war journalism and the other about why WW2 would happen regardless of Hitler.

Which will make it very likely I will blog every night. Just for the sake of writing something else and to not lose my sanity.

That is not be completely true, as my sanity is questionable. The likelihood of it already been gone for a while is more likely than it being still intact.

Life does that to you.

So don’t ever assume only drugs and alcohol can make you go mad. Life itself, it can make you lose all your marbles.

Which is why some take drugs or consume a lot of alcohol. It has a counter effect on your mind if you are about to lose your sanity.

We are all crazy…
