Here are some basic facts about me that may help to elucidate the motivation behind Beyond Friday:
I'm a 27-year-old guy trying to figure out what my role and purpose ultimately are in this thing called Life. Shortly after finishing college with a degree in English in 2004, I entered America's full-time work force and subsequently acquired a newfound understanding of the term "daily grind." Honestly, it's not that working was necessarily all that bad, only that my pampered, idealistic little mind found it difficult to accept that I had to do it for another 40+ years.
Sometime in the last year or so I finally decided that a career as an attorney was the right path for me (I know ... the horror), so as of August 2008, I'll be a full-fledged law school student, which, on the Potentially Evil People scale, puts me somewhere in between Freddy Krueger and the Olsen twins.
What is Beyond Friday?
Beyond Friday is a concept that came to me a while ago, and it's taken on new meaning since I started full-time work. Most people I know (including me) spend their weeks hoping for weekends, and while this doesn't mean that our lives are empty and devoid of meaning, it does give us a glimpse of how much more in life we're probably missing because we're simply not looking. Well, all I'm trying to do is look a bit harder.
Welcome to my journey beyond the comforts and confines of Friday ...
