have a beer
eat dinner with the girl, help her cook it if she needs the help...she usually declines.
spend some time on the internet (try not to make it overkill)
take the dogs out for a walk, or to the park
thursdays are usually racquetball nights with Mike
Have some friends over for the vaporizer
depending on the day, watch basketball on the tube
HOMEWORK :x

get really lit and listen to music through my skullcandies while lying on the gigantic beanbag in the corner of the living room

i live close to work (15 min bike ride) ... so, when i'm done (5) ... i got all night to do whatever ... i can volunteer, meet friends for dinner, do laundry, some chores and be home in time to play a little xbox live ... the big thing is tho i think is so many people are tired after they are done work ... i'm not sure what that is all about ... in any case - there's lots of time to do whatever you want if you don't have a huge commute or are too tired ...

i think the biggest issue really is...what do you think you can do EVERY single night that would be so entertaining, and not make you broke. too much of *any*thing eventually doesn't seem as interesting or fun. the occasional night out during the week - such as thai with my sister tonight - yay! - adds an element of specialness to the day. we can't be doing fun/exciting every single day.....or it wouldn't seem so fun/exciting. ya know? reality is, most of us have to eat dinner, do laundry, pay bills, make our lunches, etc, etc....and what better time than a weeknight and save your weekends for bigger, more fun things? and even on any given dull weeknight...you might just get together with friends...read a great book...catch an entertaining show/DVD...have mind-blowing sex...or just great convo. and sure, some days you just drag your ass home, veg out mentally and physically on the sofa....and cuddle with the dogs, and that's it.

Usually check in here, then attempt to work out, followed by eating something, then I hit the bottle, then hopefully my wife as well later...

Sounds about right ..

I agree! I've just not been one for couch-potatoism, and I feel that I am becoming one. As you say, you need an occasional weeknight out. I definitely jump on those opportunities when they arise! (as opposed to many people I know, who seem to take pride in being "too tired from work").

I definitely know all about 2,3, and 6, 1 and 4 are what I wish I were doing!

i recommend copious amounts of marijuana use. you will not care anymore how much time you spend on the couch.

That usually is the conclusion I meet when indulging...
