Saturday, literature, guns and coffee

Have you ever seen a more eclectic group of words lumped together before? Saturday, literature, guns and coffee. There could be stranger combinations however most people probably would not group these things together. I'm not most people though, and so I do.

Saturday
Today started like any other day, I woke up [always a good day when that happens] and I got straight down to the serious business of Saturdaying. Household chores? Hell no, bra! I mean hard core weekending. Living life! I love weekends and work hard tirelessly conscientiously a lot a little bit throughout the week to permit me the feeling that I deserve the weekend and the impetus to full-frontal attack it. And I do.

Literature
I've recently picked up a book called The Count of Monte Cristo. I have no clue as to why it's taken me 49 years to pick it up considering it's one of my favourite stories however that's the truth of it, I have not read it yet. So, the morning consisted of a little reading over breakfast and coffee. It feels good to be reading, always feels good to be reading, and to have finally started this book. What a cultured Saturday morning.

Guns
I read for about four hours until 10am then went out to my workshop/garage to get organised for the next phase of operation Saturday. I shoot most weekends, normally 1-3 times a week actually, and today I had a club match at my range. It was a practical handgun match. If you're interested to see what it looks like you can review this post right here which was me shooting last weekend at a big event.

I shot well today, probably to the best of my ability, although that's bullshit isn't it, because one can always do better, find a little more dig a little deeper, be faster, more accurate and such. So, I shot well and will probably place reasonably out of the 70 or so shooters.

After the mandatory shit-talking-sesh at the range with my fellow shit-talkers (aka. mates) I headed home to clean my handgun (CZ Shadow 2 as pictured above) and pack away my gear.

Coffee
I'll admit that this element of Saturdayness was deployed throughout the entire day. It's one of those elements that can't be reserved for one singe evolution but must be liberally dispersed throughout the entire deployment of operation Saturday. It's a lot like my ethos, which you can read at the very end of this post...It has to be well-executed and liberally applied...

So, it's late Saturday afternoon here folks and I've been writing this with the idiot box (Television) on. An idiot flat-panel I guess these days. I'm going to smash out a Netflix movie right now, Act of Valor (2012) whilst I'm waiting for my wife to come home and then Saturdaying will continue once more...Probably with some Indian food and deployment of operation Saturday-night.

I hope you've all got something awesome exciting perfect perfect enough planned that keeps you happy, energised, interested in life and thankful that you have the choice to live it largely in the way you decide.

Happy weekending y'all. Get after it!
