Thursday

Ranking the days of the week

Sunday. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. Saturday. Let’s take a look at the days of the week and how I view them currently and in my personal past.

7. Friday.

Friday is the worst day of the week because that’s when I found out what kind of scum I am.

6. Thursday

I mean…Thursdays have been kind of boring compared to the other days. This is especially true for my time as a Sixers fan. See, Thursday nights in the NBA are usually reserved for the best teams and/or best matchups (think Monday Night Football for you NFL heads). Sixers haven’t played well enough since I became a fan in 2000 so…yeah. But, even other areas of my life, this isn’t my favorite day but I also don’t dislike it. It just…is.

5. Monday

I’m not sure what it is about Monday. Corporate American hates this day since it’s the “back to work” day. But, I don’t really dislike…oh wait. Band practice was always on Monday. Oh yeah. I didn’t like band. F band.

4. Wednesday

I was born on this day so there’s a reason not to be excited. Also, I got my blood drawn by these vampires although people tell me they were nurses or something. Also, when I was a kid, Wednesday was the longest day of the week for my, mom, and sisters. Just…a long day from home. Even today, Wednesdays are busy and usually not enjoyable. One of my best relationships sparked from Wednesday so…huh. This has always been a bittersweet day which is why it’s in the middle. I mean, the middle of my list but coincidentally it’s also the middle of the week. Okay then.

So far, each day has been not so good. Do I even like a day, or am I ranking by which ones I don’t hate as much? Grief.

3. Sunday

Sunday is when I go to church. I either teach or do lighting, and I enjoy doing both. That’s been a really fun ride.

2. Saturday

The last day. The 7th day. I don’t know what it is but I really like this day. Maybe it’s because historically, I generally get to chill on this day. No school. Um, okay actually when you worm in retail Saturday is your day, but I love working retail so it was fine with me. But yeah, Saturday usually had something I looked forward to.

1. Tuesday

I really…it’s like Saturday. I don’t know exactly why I enjoy Tuesday, but I do. I really did. Boy Scouts was really fun and that was Tuesday nights. Then again, band concerts were on Tuesday nights. Currently, I use Tuesdays as my “day at church”…day. I would go to the morning staff meeting, and then spend the rest of the day working on my lighting. Wednesday also was a day to spend all day at church but Tuesday historically felt…productive. It was during a Tuesday night class that I began writing my book. It was a Tuesday that I decided I wanted to start my own blog (this blog right here). I really like Tuesdays.

Taking a Break…Looking At August

Well I finally broke down. I’m laying off of DALANEL for a few days. I have other things to attend to anyway.  How long will I be out of action? Today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. The site will still be active as I still will finish the “Today in July History” posts. I will also put up the latest scene of my play as well. But, the Daily Good Stuff and other work will not show up until Thursday.

So, at this point, I’ll give a little preview for August. August is a time of looking back at some of my previous work. Most of the posts I wrote when this blog was known as “Dante’s Opinion” will be re-posted on the blog. There’s a lot of goodies that I think deserve another look. And, with traffic and a much larger following, plus, I launched DALANEL in August of last August, I feel like this is a good time to go retro.

July viewing really died after shattering a daily viewing record on the 21st. And, with viewing so poor, I felt like it wouldn’t make much of a difference if I kept on trying to post in this month.

Daily Good Stuff has been a little bland and I have noticed that most of the views for Daily Good Stuff posts are themed. So look forward to more themed DGS posts in August and beyond.

I’m really hoping August is even better than July. I’m also looking forward to adding a new blogger to the DALANEL team. Well, I’m the only one on the team but still. That way, I can take breaks and other folks can still run the show.

I’m trying to think of some sophisticated line to end the post on.

Whoop, there it is.

Finally!

Hey everyone! I’m Dallas, Dante’s cousin, I’ve been trying to  figure out what to write about, instead of just writing about what comes to my head, so here I am. I’m glad to have a cousin, more of a brother, like Dante. Without having someone to talk to, I would have shut myself off from the world a lot of times, luckily I had Dante. It’s amazing how the people that’s farthest away from you, are the people you’re closer with. Today is Valentine’s Day, my favorite holiday, and I just want everyone that has a special someone to spend this day with, well night now, to always remember to be there for each other and not let anything come between you. Nothing is stronger than the power of love itself. This is all over the place, I really am just putting what comes to the top of my head, I’m not really in the advice mood; besides I wouldn’t know what to start with. Anyways, I’m done with this for tonight. I will hopefully have something to talk about next time.  🙂
