15, What is the best day off for you?

Hello, Internet. This is Rican speaking. Today, I want to talk about days off. I mean, who doesn’t like a day off? Just imagine you finish your work on Friday night before heading home. Your coworkers might give you some weekend ideas, like how to have a great time and get very drunk. I don’t know, it depends on your social group. A typical question might be, “Do you want to hit the bar? We don’t have to work tomorrow, so we can get super drunk. What do you think?”

Oh, that’s a typical question. If you’re a beer person, you might accept this offer—it seems like a very good Friday night option. You might say, “Hell yeah, let’s do this.” And that’s the moment your coworker becomes your friend. You guys walk into a bar, maybe not holding hands, but super friendly. You don’t want to get too drunk at the beginning, so you go to the bar and ask the bartender, “Hey buddy, may I have a Long Island Iced Tea plus two kilograms of vodka?”

The bartender might say, “Sir, it’s illegal to sell that much alcohol.”

Huh, what a tiny cat! I mean, the bartender is right. You can’t buy alcohol like that in public. But showing your guts and your poor legal knowledge, that’s enough and worthwhile. You might get a less masculine drink, but hey, everyone knows you have guts, right? That’s fine. You drink and get a bit drunk. If you’re a dancer or just too drunk to care about anything, just go dance. That’s actually fun and happy—just move your body and follow the rhythm, enjoy the pure movement while releasing all the toxic energy from your brain. The feeling is wonderful, trust me.

Especially, that’s something you wouldn’t do in your normal daily life. Double the fun.

So now, back to the topic. Our weekends could be exactly the same as usual. Maybe you’re a gamer, and you love to spend all weekend in your room, playing your favorite game. That’s cool—enjoying your life is never wrong; in fact, it’s super right. Nobody should tell you what a perfect weekend is. You make the decision yourself; you define the best weekend. I spend my weekends, almost 48 hours, just playing computer games with my friends. We get some junk food and drinks, play our favorite games, and sometimes switch to different games for variety.

Oh, I wish I could go back to those treasured old times—those weekends are still in my Top 5 best memories. We went to Inter-Coffee, set up three computers around each other so we could yell at each other. We loved competitive games and teamwork games. I love our trash talk. When we played League of Legends and my character died, my friend would say something like, “Oh, Rican, sometimes I wonder if I could play better than you using only my genitals. No offense, just scientific curiosity.”

“Well, I feel super offended. But let’s assume my teammate today is Faker. Maybe he can analyze stock prices, buy the most valuable crypto, watch guitar lesson videos, finish a college paper, and still win the game for me without insulting me. No offense, but compared to Faker, you’re just a useless, whining, fat, ugly turtle.”

“That’s the most offensive sentence I’ve ever heard. But fair enough.” We’d both chill and laugh.

I love our stupid conversations. Even though we rarely do those things together now, we still hang out on weekends sometimes and play board games. It’s another form of fun. There are so many options for spending our weekends; there’s no standard answer. Just do whatever you want and see if it’s fun. I hope everyone always has a good weekend. That’s all for today. I’m Rican, and I’ll see you next time, Internet.
