You always know the songs that transcend time, class, and ethnicity; they’re generally the ones on the radio. One of those songs is Loverboy’s ‘Working For The Weekend’. Yes, it’s rather overplayed and contrived in the sense that it’s trying to reach everyone. The song does speak truths though, because during the week it is essentially what we’re doing.

The idea of ‘Working For The Weekend’ isn’t as readily apparent as when Friday peaks its head up at the end of the week. The clock seems to move slower, there’s always that one person that needs help when you’re running for the door. Once your out; ahhhhh, it’s the weekend. I figured I would share with you some plans I have for this weekend, and I’d like to hear back.

University of Kentucky vs. Western Kentucky

There’s very few things quite as American as football, except perhaps baseball. Of course the NFL has become a juggernaut, over how much money the MLB rakes in. My college team will always be the UK Wildcats. I’ve been a fan since the early 90’s when winning 5 games was considered a decent season. Now there’s so much pressure put on them, it’s hard to imagine being a UK football player. That’s UK fans though, they can smell greatness, and then they demand perfection.

I know that most who are reading this could care less about the Wildcats, so let me hear about some of your fav teams.

Miracle at St. Anna

I love War epics, especially when there’s an interesting story and hopefully twist. The moment I saw the trailer for Miracle At St. Anna I was intrigued. In the past I haven’t been a huge Spike Lee fan, but I really liked his last movie Inside Man.

Here’s a synopsis for the movie from RottenTomatoes: “Miracle at St. Anna chronicles the story of four black American soldiers who are members of the US Army as part of the all-black 92nd “Buffalo Soldier” Division stationed in Tuscany, Italy during World War II. “

So far the movie has been received as ‘mixed’ and that’s being generous. The RT meter is hanging at 32%, with most critics saying that the movie is too long, and drawn out. I’ve liked movies that score low on the RT meter, so who knows it might be what I’m looking for.

I want to hear back from you all. What are your plans for the weekend. Or will you be the unlucky ones who don’t work for the weekend, because you’ll be working anyway?
