Why can't they see that Friday's just another night for me?

So, it's Friday and you know what that means!

It means that I'm going to be bored out of my fucking mind for the next two days. I won't even get the pleasure of sleeping in until noon. Why not? Because I never sleep that long. I'm always up at 8am. It's not fair. I get up every morning at 7am so I can drag my fat ass into work and I can't even sleep in on the weekends. I don't know why, but every Saturday morning I'm up by 8am. That is, unless, I only go to sleep at 7am. Then I might sleep until noon... if I'm lucky.

It might not be so bad if I was up all night doing something even remotely fun and exciting, but usually, on Friday nights, I sit at home watching some movie and then rewatching it with commentary on. That's right. I'm that lame.

I get asked constantly why I don't go out to the bars or something. Well, it's easy. I don't drink too often. It's a "once a month" thing at most. And when I do actually drink, I like to drink myself into oblivion. That ain't cheap at a bar. At home, it's $7 for a bottle of shitty vodka that gets me drunk just as easily as a $40 bottle. Anyhow, I don't like spending the money to get shitfaced and at the same time, have to deal with the people at the bar.

Most people at the bars, at least in this town, are all jocky frat boy types. The kind of guys that used to give me shit in high school. It's amazing that I can sit within fifty feet of them and not stab them in the throat with a pool stick, but people will still tell me to "go out and have a good time."

Don't people understand that going out means I won't have a good time? I keep saying it, but no one seems to listen. No one can understand why I can't enjoy myself at a bar. I don't like the people. I don't like the atmosphere. I don't like sitting around and having to scream so people can hear me. And I hate seeing douche bags walking around with super cute girls on their arms. It's fucking depressing.

Of course, sitting at home all weekend is equally depressing, but for different reasons. But, I'm tired of even thinking about it now. Luckily, this weekend I'll be making a short pilgrimage to Pittsburgh to see Gibby. That might raise my spirits. Maybe I'll even stay longer than I should and take a bus back. Who knows?

So, I just saw the video for the new Nine Inch Nails single. It's pretty basic, but the thing that intrigues me is that it shows a band playing the entire song. I'm hoping the whole album is playable as a band. Don't get me wrong. I love NIN and I think the albums are fantastic, but I'd like to see what Trent could do with a more stripped down sound. "The Hand That Feeds" definitely rocked, but it didn't sound computer made. It sounded almost organic. Weird. Anyway, the new album drops on May 3rd. I have a boner just thinking about it.
