Well then folks, here we are at another weekend and thamk fuck for its arrival because I've been flat out like a fucken lizard drinking all week; the shit thing is I'm working this weekend, I'm away for work, and that fucken sucks. The not shit thing is that I'll get some time off as soon as this business trip ends...then the shit thing is I'm away for work again in two weeks...and on the cycle fucken goes.

Anyway, I'm working and that's shit...but hopefully y'all have a great weekend.

We're well into the sixth year of the weekend-engagement topic concept and it's really cool to see a few people come back every week and join in. If you'd like to get involved with the #weekend-engagement topics as hosted in the WEEKEND EXPERIENCES community then read below, and I hope you all have a great weekend.

Good morning galen. I hope you had a great night?? Hmm so basically i wouldn't be doing anything this weekend, other than spending time with my family. Also, i resonate more with the first question and i think there is more to what actually makes us a man.

Asides that,i hope you do have a great weekend.

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

No worries, have a good weekend no matter what's on your agenda.

tonyes's avatar @tonyes 7/25/2025

Like many others, I like this edition and we are already on initiative number 268. In this one the central theme has to do with the personality that defines us and it is a good exercise to characterize ourselves. I like several themes and I'm sure I'll leave my entry. Have a nice weekend @galenkp. Cheers and greetings.

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

No worries, hopefully you find a topic that you want to write about, if not then skip it and see what happens next week. Have a good weekend.

tonyes's avatar @tonyes 7/25/2025

Hello @galenkp. Can I participate in two themes of the initiative? Example, in one today and in another on Sunday? Cheers and greetings.

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Yes.

tonyes's avatar @tonyes 7/25/2025

Thanks You very much

davideownzall's avatar @davideownzall 7/25/2025

You gonna off for somewhere for winter holidays after this round of work?

Besides having a dick and balls

That killed me 😂

I would pick topic 3 but don't want to fall in repeating the ideal weekend topic🤔

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Nah, no holidays on the horizon mate, I'm in a busy phase at work and have to grind it out. I'll have a couple weeks off over the Christmas period though.

davideownzall's avatar @davideownzall 7/25/2025

Damn that's a long way to christmas, summer holidays then, hopefully you can go to the sea or mountains

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Sea and mountains, both might happen.

avdesing's avatar @avdesing 7/25/2025

It really sucks that you have to work on the weekend and then for two weeks... without a break? Shit.

There's no choice but to wait for that time off. May the work be as light as possible.

I've already chosen my topic, without hesitation!

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

I wonder what topic you selected. I guess we'll all find out soon enough.

Have a good weekend.

avdesing's avatar @avdesing 7/25/2025

You'll have to wait... be patient!

Thank you very much, I'll make the most of it!

Great topics, Dr. Galenkp! Have a great start to the weekend. I haven't written here in a while, mainly because of obligations and end-of-season concerts every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but I wanted to take the opportunity to say hello. I'll be here soon, if not this week then next week, but I need my therapeutic topics already 🤣 This time I really liked the first topic 🙏

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

No worries, have a good weekend.

belkyscabrera's avatar @belkyscabrera 7/25/2025

Hi @galenkp, you're going to have a very busy weekend. I liked the quote from Publilio Siro. Happiness is definitely an individual decision. There are many people who are like clowns: they laugh on the outside and cry on the inside. What means happiness to some is the opposite for others.

I like two topics. I hope to post my post soon.

Best regards!

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Hmm, I wonder what topic you'll choose. I'll be patient though, and see when I see.

joshel's avatar @joshel 7/25/2025

Many interesting topics we gat this weekend, wonder which to go for.

The weekends are mostly for resting and sleeping and there's more to say regarding what makes us a man..

Thanks for the initiative Sir, Have a great weekend!!

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Yep, have a good weekend yourself.

bozz's avatar @bozz 7/25/2025

I'm happy for the weekend too. It's been a long week. I'm going to be a bit out of sorts in a couple weeks when we move away from four tens and we have to move back to five days a week. Then a couple weeks after that students are back :P.

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Yeah, students...the little buggers.

I like the idea of 4/10...but I often work 10-12 a day and sometimes seven days like on my trip this weekend. It'll be 13 days straight of 10-12 days. 😭

Still, I get paid well and that helps to balance it all out.

bozz's avatar @bozz 7/25/2025

Yeah, I am salary, so it all evens out at some point. I have meetings I usually have to stay late for, but then other days I can leave a bit early. Try to take it easy with those long days ahead of you. Two weeks straight is no joke!

duskobgd's avatar @duskobgd 7/25/2025

As much as I love to read your suggested topics for the upcoming weekend on Friday, the speed with which your weekend-engagement posts change scares me. My weeks go by so fast...

I'm in a similar situation as you regarding work. I have several business trips coming up in the next two weeks, working on several projects at the same time, and then two weeks of vacation...

It will be hard and I will need a rest. in relation to that, hard work, i am thinking about one topic. I wish you a successful working weekend, and to the others who don't have to work, have a good rest.

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

The weeks go past so quickly, seemingly faster the older one gets. Good luck with your business trips, hopefully successful.

fieryfootprints's avatar @fieryfootprints 7/25/2025

Besides having a dick and balls, what attributes of your personality and character do you feel makes you (personally) a man. Explain.

My neighbours sometimes asks for my help. And if I can I help them. Cutting grass, cutting hedges, helping to take furniture from a flat, helping to clean out the grave, gathering firewood...

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Excellent.

vvodjiu's avatar @vvodjiu 7/25/2025

Well, my weekend is going to be great.. I'll be working too 😆, as I have been for the past years.. so, welcome to the club @galenkp 😁.. I'll admit, sometimes it pisses me off, too.. knowing that while I'm working my ass off, my friends or family are having the best days of their lives 🤣.. but my great revenge?? I can take a day off anytime,, so I'll take it on a Monday, 😁😆 anyway, I want to participate in the weekend engagement, but can't decide the right topic yet..🤔 well, good luck with your business trip... I hope you'll have fun 😊

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

No worries, have a good weekend also.

beelzael's avatar @beelzael 7/25/2025

Oh man attributes and women attributes. After the pendulum had swung into the extreme equality direction, it seems like an appreciation of differences is coming back. I think when staying within stereotypes, I have quite a few female-attributes, while my gf has quite a few male attributes. We both drink a lot of beer, though. Would be interesting to dig a little deeper into the current state of the discussion, I haven't thought about this for quite a while as I never saw it very relevant.

There are quite a few things I only do on weekends - but that is in school-time. In vacations, the lines get blurry.

I'm definitely more intelligent than others, and less intelligent than other others. I usually blame that on my education and how my love of learning new things.

The other day I added a new point to my arrogance-judgement. My father always said that arrogant people have low self-esteem, and I confirmed that many times. But there's also the component where people with high self-esteem are perceived as arrogant if they don't act in a submissive, humble way.

As I have worked quite a bit and still working on my self and my capability as role-model, the last question would be something I have very present, but also write about quite a lot. Though I never wrote an argument about the specific attributes.

Yes, sorting out my thoughts here. Thank you as always! I'll have a jamsession tonight, a wedding tomorrow which hopefully won't turn me into a useless waste of space on Sunday. Drinking only on weekends, but way too much, does not work well, either. I hope I can manage to stay hydrated, that tends to help.

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Staying hydrated is important, hopefully you manage it.

beelzael's avatar @beelzael 7/25/2025

I'll try...

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Water not beer, that'll help.

beelzael's avatar @beelzael 7/25/2025

Huh. Never thought of that. I'll take it under advisement and update you on the field experiment.

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

Sure, but there's water in beer so maybe just do that.

beelzael's avatar @beelzael 7/25/2025

If I can find a 2% beer that could work out, but where's the fun in that?

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/25/2025

A good point, and then a second good point.

Life's a bitch so they say....

A little humour to get you this two week work week.

An old man is at his bedside praying when his wife says, "What are you doing?" "I'm praying for guidance," replies the man. "Just pray for stiffness," says the wife, "and I'll guide the fucker."

Have a wonderful day being creative.

galenkp's avatar @galenkp 7/26/2025

Haha, that's gold!

Have a good weekend Joan.
