The Night Guy won't
I had grand plans for this weekend.
Plans to shop.
Plans to write.
A new hat to wear.
A new post to share.
As I sat down to perform, I felt like I shouldn’t.
I felt like I couldn’t.
I felt like I didn’t feel like.
Jerry Seinfeld coined the term “Night Guy”.
Night Guy doesn’t do what Day Guy wants.
Night Guy plays by his own rules.
Day Guy wants to read a book.
Night Guy wants to play the fool.
Day Guy plans his meals.
Night Guy finds takeout deals.
Day Guy books Pilates.
Night Guy parties.
Day Guy lives with regret.
Night Guy forgets.
Plans so effortlessly laid.
Whims so effortlessly obeyed.
I thought of a good blog post that perfectly reflects self-discipline and self-indulgence, highlighting the internal conflict many experience between doing what they think they should and what they ultimately feel like in the moment.
But Night Guy just didn’t feel like it
