Let's Go Out and Have Some Fun

What the nightlife used to mean to me is probably a bit different than what it used to mean to me when I was around twenty-two. I mean that's probably because my stamina isn't what it used to be. I used to begin my night at about 6 pm and try to keep going until about 6 AM if possible--regardless of where I was: Seattle or Toronto or D.C. which to me--at this point, sounds and seems completely insane.

I would meet my friends for dinner and then we'd find a good movie to see. Perhaps we'd go and see it and then we'd go dancing at whatever club happened to be the one we were now nuts over. And then we'd dance for a while, hang out on the street and watch people passing and then more often than not, we'd go have a bite (by now it was about 3 AM) and then we'd drive home. I'd typically get to sleep about 5 or 6 AM which only allowed me to have a few hours of sleep--because I often had jobs with Saturday hours. That really stunk. I hated it. And I loved it. I never do that to myself these days. I need all the beauty rest I can get.
