I don’t care if Monday’s blue

So here we are.  It’s the middle of August, and you can start to feel the summer fading away.  Sure we’ve got a few weeks of sun and fun left, but then fall will be upon us.  School is starting up again, patios won’t be open, and the days will start getting noticeably shorter.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love the fall.  It’s easily my favorite time of year, but the end of summer always make me sit back and contemplate those warm summer days and nights.

Maybe I just have a case of the Mondays.  Actually, no, I think I’m just overtired.  C’mon, there’s still a few weeks left, I still have time to go camping, sit out on the patio with friends, maybe make the trek down to the Canadian National Exhibition to get some Tiny Tom doughnuts.  Lots of things to do.  So who cares that it’s monday?  I sure don’t.

Then again, if you are feeling kind of blue because of the end of the weekend, maybe you can sympathize with this guy..

InkEverything uploaded this image last week along with a large collection of portrait tattoos.  Some of them are really fantastic, so if you’ve got some time to spare this morning head on over and check them out.

Hypothetically speaking, if I were to be suffering from a Blue Monday, what would be a good way to get myself out of the funk?

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension.

For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
