And so it's Saturday night again, and everyone in this small town heads to anywhere where alcohol is readily accessible and where everyone else is going. Although I used to hate this kind of life, I admit, when I can't have it, I really want it. I want to be able to go out on a Saturday, with some friends, and just watch sport on TV, drink cocktails on couches and just be merry, enjoying life, or at least taking a break from reality. It's like a little corner of the globe where everything is happy and lit up. I don't know what's happening across the road let alone on the other side of the world, but I just know that here, now, everything is perfect. The olympics is on TV, and I watched Australia win Bronze in triathlon, I saw the boys win silver in rowing, and I saw the girls take out a hockey game.
I met up with people who I haven't seen in years, and I chatted to people I don't even know but who were happy to chat because it's Saturday night.
I ate some fancy fish and chips and I downed a couple of expensive drinks that had god knows what in them.
I go home feeling like I am satisfied, a bit rejuvenated, and ready for anything that next week might throw at me. So bring it on world, I look forward to it.
