Delay the Hangover.

In my 22 years, I have found that it is a fairly common school of thought among people over the age of 8 that Sunday is not the most enjoyable day of the week. 

For students, it means the last day to finish their allotted (and often excessive) weekend homework.

For adults, it is their last day of “freedom” before heading back to work.

For parents, it means back to school, back to making lunches, back to soccer games and play dates, etc.

For me and my fellow “20-somethings,” it means one last day to rest before heading back to the monotony of a 9-5 job that we hate or, even worse, the monotony of “the unknown.” It also means one last hangover before the new week starts.

Or does it…

The revelation can be dated back a few months to a Sunday morning after a particularly wild Saturday night.

Upon waking up, my friends Miguel and Aaron and I decided that our only hope for survival was to “delay the hangover.”

So, after a Bloody Mary with breakfast, we went and purchased a few bottles of champagne, some orange juice, and planted ourselves on the couch to watch some Desperate Housewives.  The result:

Sunday Funday was born.

Here are a few of the things you should know about Sunday Funday:

                                                         

                                         It is racially diverse.

There is always a surplus of men.

~*Sometimes we do casual tarot readings*~

 








We like glasses ($5 margaritas in pint glasses: not pictured.)

Sometimes we go to Mardi Gras parades.  

Sunday Funday is often blurry. 

  

<<We nap at our own expense.

There are very few acceptable reasons to cancel Sunday Funday.

And Monday will suck.

From mid-winter, indoor, day drinking, to fried fish sandwiches, to sunbathing and grilling out.  Mimosas and Man-mosas. Hot dogs and Takis. New friend groups, Simper Freckers, and $5 margaritas. Sunday Funday is more than just another day of the week, it is not just a tradition: 

It is a way of life.

Keep delaying the hangover.

I love you all!

Back in the game.

Many of you probably know that in high school I was a bit of an actress.

A passion that ultimately led me to pursue my potentially useless degree in Theatre Studies (still holding out hope, cross your fingers for me, folks.)

However, as I've expressed to some of you, I feel that my scholastic path led me a bit off track and I forgot why it was that I had originally fallen in love with theatre.  

But man! It is so hard to get your foot back in the door. 

So, since I've been in Asheville, I've auditioned for a couple community productions (to no avail) and I've been thinking of the different ways that I could reincorporate acting/performing into my life.

And then I got the opportunity to work on a short film that a friend was producing/directing/editing/etc.

Sure, it's not Broadway or anything, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

So a big shout out to Jameson Hartrum for giving me a chance!

For those of you that are interested in seeing my first foray into acting in about 5 years, here is the link:

(I apologize, I'm a little rusty.)

And speaking of things I haven't done in 5 years, I just ran my first 5k since senior year of high school, so, fuck yeah!
