Have you ever had a night when all hell broke loose, in a good way?

My friday started like every other one. Get up. Get ready. Work, work, work. Well, thats where all sense of normality or common sense ended for me. Having been on call for the previous week all forms of social gatherings that involve alcohol were out. As in my profession the ability to analyse and think properly are paramount. Well, end of business Friday I was freed from the constraints of employment. I guess I had a bit of pent up energy that just needed to get out.

It all started innocently enough with some friends and coworkers at a local downtown Toronto place. To get a sense of this group, mostly 30- 40 (age wise) professionals, with some exeptions in either direction. Slightly more on the male side than female.

We ran this place to its logical conclusion and then went in search of some entertainment and more good fun. Well, we found it. It proceeded to a host of different clubs, bars and pubs before we ran out of legal drinking time at 2:00 AM. Then we proceeded to one of the friends place with a host of hangers on.

The debauchery continued until my mind and body finally gave out sometime around 5 AM. It was a good time had by all. With the exception of one of my friends who decided sometime around 2:30 AM that since He had no idea who this hanger on was that He needed to leave in a hurry. Anyway, He quietly left and everything resumed.

My particular evening came to an end when my body took over and demanded "Its time to go home. Right Now!" So I did.  

My observation: while "carpe diem" is probably my only motto, it needs to be tempered with a little common sense. Saturday was a total write off. Please, let summer come soon!
