DISQUS

Mark Rough · 1 year ago

I practice my ukulele on the weekends. This shirt would be absolutely perfect for such an activity.

Virilitas · 1 year ago

What do I do on the weekends? Saturday often involves laundry, fix-it projects, motivational reading, college football, responding to voice mails, and hangin' out with the guys or maybe a date. Sunday is church, time with family, and blogging. ;)

Jayson Powell · 1 year ago

The weekend is all about relaxing from school. Be it football, swing dancing, a barbecue. What ever is enjoyable.

Evan · 1 year ago

Fridays are for relaxing after the week. Going out with friends to grab food and beers. Saturdays are for my longtime girlfriend and I. We try and go out on a date every Saturday as it can be hectic during the week and we may not see a whole lot of each other. Sundays are for catching up around the apartment and lazing around with a manly batch of pancakes.

Leigh · 1 year ago

My weekends are spent doing yardwork and I try to get a day (an hour or 2) of rest in there.

Steve Danger Maslin · 1 year ago

Enjoy the labors of work to survive as a Student. 8 till 4 every Saturday and Sunday. Every second Sunday go to table side where we eat round a table and discus how Jesus was a man who loved the oppressed, that the mega-church's are self centered and we need to help them understand that we must love the oppressed with more than just our money.

Rob · 1 year ago

The weekends are for sleeping.

T.J. · 1 year ago

Fridays after classes are spent doing laundry (if necessary), preparing for next week's classes (reading assignments, quizzes, and translating a couple chapters of the New Testament from the original Greek), and decompressing. Usually, I'll catch up with my friends and update my family on the week's noteworthy goings-on, practice playing electric bass, and get some extra sleep. Saturday is gymnastics class in the morning, and Sunday, of course, is church (along with a visit to a guitar shop near my church after the service).

Mr LD · 1 year ago

My weekends consist of making a big egg and bacon breakfast for the family, taking my son to the train museum, the park or whatever else is happening a three year old would like, getting some time in on Wii tennis or bowling with the family, laundry and then the outer family visits.

Shadoglare · 1 year ago

A good weekend? Gathering with friends around the back yard fire pit, drinking some good beers, maybe playing a few tunes, and just bs-ing the night away - always a good time.

Dewayne · 1 year ago

Watch cartoons with the kids/curse them for waking up before dawn.
Cook breakfast with the kids (normally biscuits and gravy) while the wife sleeps.
Take the wife and kids to park/aquarium/zoo/library/fair/random event.
Yard work.
Take a nap.
Cook the flesh of an animal.
Consume flesh.
Read to the kids.
Play video game/watch movie/read with wife.
Get up and do it again.

John · 1 year ago

Saturdays I make a huge breakfast for the kids then we mow, trim and edge so our lawn isn't the shame of the neighborhood. Then it's the inside jobs. With four kids there's usually a hole in a wall that needs patching. If it's not a hole in a wall then it's a faucet that doesn't work or a suspicious smell that needs investigating.

Sundays are church, football and naps.

Dave K · 1 year ago

Weekends are for time with family and friends who're difficult to see during the week. It could be games with family and/or friends, getting together for the Seahawks game, taking the lady out to eat, or heading to the pub.

And laundry, can't forget the laundry.

Joel · 1 year ago

Unfortunately, my weekends recently have been occupied with home improvement projects. There's no foreseeable end to them. Carpet. Bathroom remodels. Painting. Painting. PAINTING!

I could certainly use a bit of Hawaii to change into.

Johnny D · 1 year ago

Drawing, reading, watching sports, preparing for the upcoming week and the occasional adventure around New York City.

Ryan · 1 year ago

On the weekends i get things done around the house and do the shopping. Sunday is a day of non-movement.

Jim B · 1 year ago

It's all about time with the family.

Adrian · 1 year ago

On the weekends I head up to the camp I just bought in VT. I spend my days fixing/renovating and restoring the cabin and trails I own on my 20 acres. In the evenings, I either practice my mandolin or hang out with my girlfriend and dog and neighbors in front of a fire, drinking fresh beer from the Trout River Brewery. One of these shirts would be the perfect eveningwear for VT.

CBad · 1 year ago

My weekends are for catching up on housework and time with my wife if neither of us are working.

I also enjoy having the extra time for a relaxing shave.

Shaun · 1 year ago

I sit around waiting for the first AOM post of the new week...oh yeah, and studying, working, cleaning, and trying to find a few minutes in which to relax!

Mike Lewis · 1 year ago

Weekends are usually:

Sat. - house clean up day

Sun. - Church and Football day

I generally will try to fit in a nap or two when I can.

Matt · 1 year ago

Spend most of the weekend watch some college ball, catching up with friends, and trying to avoid chores.

TAlvin · 1 year ago

I work retail, but I've got Saturdays off for a while. I spend the time with the family, cooking and playing outside. I try to make Saturday as normal as possible, given how scheduling makes so much of the rest of the week a hassle.

Richard · 1 year ago

Sharpen a few knives. Go to church. And lately, work.

Chris · 1 year ago

Catching up on work, going out with the missus, reading.

Rev. Larry Beane · 1 year ago

Friday is my day off from school (where I teach Latin and Religion). On Fridays, I usually spend time with my wife and 3-year old son - often involving a ferry ride across the Mississippi, a trip to the Audubon Aquarium, and the Cafe du Monde. Sometimes the excursion involves Barnes & Noble and Target instead.

Saturday is a work day. However, I usually manage to sleep in a little bit and walk to the farmer's market with the fam. Then, I finish my sermon, maybe visit a couple shut-ins, hear confessions, and pray Vespers before heading home late afternoon. Then my wife makes a great meal (as usual) and we hang out with our son, read together, blog, or maybe watch a movie together.

Sunday morning, I teach Bible class, say Mass and preach to my beloved congregation, get things straightened up after the service, chit-chat with parishioners, walk home with my wife and son, and if I'm lucky, we all have a sacred Sunday afternoon nap.

But no matter what day it is, weekday or weekend, the first activity of the morning is the cappuccino ritual. It sets the tone for the day. Oh, and another thing for the clergy: wearing a classic black cassock in public is manly!

Great topic!

Nate · 1 year ago

College Football (War Eagle), grillin out with the guys, then up Sunday for church and a lazy afternoon with the fiance and/or parents.

repsac3 · 1 year ago

Unfortunately, I work in retail, which means that too many Saturdays & Sunday's are spent workin'...

When I do have one or both of 'em free, the bride & I usually go visit our niece (2) & nephew (4), which is as close as we can (or want to) be to having kids. (Mom, Grandma, & one or two "aunts" (friends of mom or grandma) are usually there, too.) Occasionally it's a trip to the park or zoo, but usually it's an afternoon on the deck, with music & all of us being as childish as the kids, and being amazed at how quickly they grow & change...

Since dad isn't in the picture, & grandpa has some health issues, most of the horseplay & assorted roughhousing falls to me, which makes it fun (most of the time... I'm not the picture of good health, either, but I'm workin' on it...)

The wife and I usually manage to squeeze in an hour or two for ourselves, even when we've only got one of the two days together, & plans with the kids, besides...


And yes, like everyone else, the laundry, the yard, & the housework does take some of the weekend away, too... (Gotta do it sometime, and if we didn't have the time during the week...)

Kyle · 1 year ago

Saturday I spend doing a few chores, finishing up my work week and prepping for Sunday. Sunday I spend almost all day at Arrowhead Stadium tailgating and rooting on my Kansas City Chiefs

Zack · 1 year ago

Weekends! Typically spent working on my own personal projects (as opposed to work projects), or meeting up with some mates and sharing quality, carefree time between old friends. ('Cleaning' should be stuck into the week, after work-hours so that the weekends are long and enjoyable. :)

Ron Green · 1 year ago

Surf the internet.

Devan · 1 year ago

Continue building my new guitar...write some code...play with my kids...

Henry · 1 year ago

I usually teach violin on Friday, play a bluegrass gig Friday night with the obligatory partying afterwardes, then if I don't have a wedding to play on Saturday, I either catch up on work, compose, or organize my life, which generally continues through Sunday.

Scott Crymble · 1 year ago

It depends on the weekend. Sometimes I'll be a recluse and sit around the house, whether being productive or not. Sometimes I'll hang out with friends.

Eric · 1 year ago

Let's see: Work Friday nights, so no fun there...

Saturdays usually consist of a couple of hours of volunteer work in the morning followed by some yard work at home. Then I'll usually try a catch some college football action before heading out on a date.

Sundays are mostly spent at church and hanging out with friends.

Kevin · 1 year ago

I wake up late, go for a hike, and if I'm feeling ambitious I try to hang this door I've been trying to hang for the past three weeks. The door is officially now a mess, but it'll get up, so help me God!

Ethan · 1 year ago

As of late, my weekends consist of helping brothers of true Metal forge their albums within my studio. If I'm not doing that, then I am probably rocking out to Manowar as I drive with the love of my life to get Mexican food or whatever else her heart/tummy desires.

Bob · 1 year ago

I begin my Saturdays with a morning basketball game, then return home to spend time with friend s and family. I try to use the day to take care of the odd errand or loose end that I was unable to get to during the week; when I've finished taking care of what needs to be done, I like to relax and watch college football and basketball.

Peter Jeziorek · 1 year ago

I am training for a marathon, so I bike on Saturday for a few hours, and then run a long run on Sunday. I widdle down the lists of things to read (Google Reader) and things to do (Remember the Milk). Tidy up my messes, and prepare foods for the rest of the week. I'll shop at Walmart. I try to take any sort of opportunity that comes my way to get out of the house.

Adam · 1 year ago

Saturdays: sleep in, nurse hangover, buy household necessities if required, spend evenings w/friends and/or family over good food & drink

Sundays: wake earlier, either fix heavy carb-laden breakfast, or go for a 2-hour bicycle ride or hiking. Clean kitchen, do meal planning & food shopping for the coming week. Watch Iron Chef America, if new.

Carla Pullum · 1 year ago

Watching the San Diego Chargers!!!!!!!!

Ryan · 1 year ago

In Omaha, we have a district of town called the Old Market. It's got all sorts of different shops and dives, and all the streets are still cobblestone. I love to go down there on the weekends with my fiddle and squeezebox and play on the corner. The tourists love it, and usually rake in around $60 for just an hour or two!

Martin S · 1 year ago

Saturday: Wake up early (6:00am). Farmer's Market. Garage Sale-ing. Finish homework from the previous week. Work on freelance webdesign. Play racquetball with girlfriend. Study/work/play UrbanTerror. Make gourmet dinner and watch movie.

Sunday: Sleep in (10:00am). Brunch. Study for coming week. Work. Hang out with gf.

Cyberia · 1 year ago

I try to finish at least one book a weekend as well as leaving some time to spend in the yard playing with my dogs. if its a rainy day I tend to stick either to the PC for the day or I will work on some model terrain, a hobby I picked up from my grandfathers model train building.

Justin · 1 year ago

I spend my weekends catching up on back-posts of The Art of Manliness.

(There's actually some truth to that, since I just found your site a few weeks ago.)

J.C. · 1 year ago

Weekends usually consist of working extra shifts and fixing things around the house and doing other little projects, or going out with friends

Dave · 1 year ago

house stuff or camping with son and his scout troop

Youbiedoobie · 1 year ago

Weekends for me are all about braving the British weather, wearing impossibly tight shoes and getting cheek to cheek with some rock. Grit stone, lime stone, quartzite, whatever. If it's rocky it gets climbed! Grazes, dented helmets, scraped knuckles and lots of excitement guaranteed.. oh of course there's the obligatory post edge debrief with your climbing buddies in the local for a hearty British pub feed and several pints of ale.

I usually find time to work through some of my photography course as well, off camera lighting is an involving subject..

Ben · 1 year ago

Work on a hobby (rock carving or playing the harmonica), improve my mind (studying for the LSAT), spend time with family (watching a football game with the parents), and I try to go on a hike too, but I don't always have time for that

Nathan Hiett · 1 year ago

All I eat are pineapples and coconuts.

Ulrik · 1 year ago

Saturdays I try to do something new or exciting, e.g., next week I'm going kayaking. In the evening I typically go to a party (or maybe have a date). Sunday mornings I go for a long bike ride for exercise (and to get rid any hangover). Later I may be practicing a bit on the piano or reading some fiction or good blog posts. Oh, and there's always some homework that needs to be done too.

Grant · 1 year ago

It really depends on the weather and the time of year. I spend time with my family and friends, Cook a lot, watch football, go to the beach. Also, i have been thinking about taking up Biking. There is a lot of different things I do.

Rob · 1 year ago

Lately I've moved from a small country town to a large city. Since then I've been taking full advantage of all that my new locale has to offer on my weekends. I've been going to museums, art galleries and even the odd professional wrestling match. If the weather is bad I might stay in and watch a movie or play a computer game.

Alex · 1 year ago

Friday is happy hour with the guys then who knows what. Saturday is homework and then fun in the evening, sunday homework and then 9pm mass if I have finished my homework. Yay last year of college.

MK-ULTRA · 1 year ago

Surfing, skating, drinking and smoking...is there anything else to do..??

Jack · 1 year ago

Dude the Guayabera is from Cuba, not Mexico. Though the shit is popular in Mexico the origin and cultural force are from Cuba. During the war for independence from Spain the Cuban everyman soldier, the Mambi, wore as their uniform a gayabera and a red scarf as their "uniform". It is the Cuban national shirt originally designed, according to legend, by the wife of a plantation owner who wanted a comfortable shirt with lots of pockets to keep his cigars, matches, pens, knife etc.

Bill · 1 year ago

Usually a bike ride with my wife, catching up on chores, a long run by myself to clear out my mind and get ready for the week to come. Sunday is always church (I have to go; I'm the preacher) and then....some football and a nap.

Seaton · 1 year ago

Weekends this fall are for yardwork, throwing football with the kids, grilling, and naps. All good.

BBEOJ · 1 year ago

Weekends are for...
* playing outside with the kids / visiting with the neighbors
* surfing whenever possible, but this *is* the east coast... :(
* back porch bluegrass (banjo, guitar, and washtub bass... anybody play mandolin?)
* babysitters/grandparents so we can have date night

Matt · 1 year ago

Weekends are for unwinding....then catching up on the "thinking" tasks you don't have time to do during the work-week.

Afterwards....update the resume!

JRJ · 1 year ago

Most weekends consist of chores around the yard (mowing, trimming, raking, maintenance), cooking (usually grilling), intensive exercise (running, lifting), catching up on business reading and watching a select couple of sporting events.

Matt · 1 year ago

On the weekends, I usually work on my online comic strip. I also take the chance to catch up on my seminary homework and spend some time with my wife. Then on Sundays I go to church.

Spears · 1 year ago

I usually wind up working on the weekends since I have three jobs. But I try to make time to cook for my girl, and spend an evening relaxing with her.

Dave · 1 year ago

Hawaiian shirts are the ultimate man shirt for poker night...a throwback and comfortable to boot!

Jim · 1 year ago

What every other good red-blooded Southern country boy would do - I go huntin' or fishin'!!

Gray Rinehart · 1 year ago

Most weekends I catch up on the slush reading I do for Baen Books, and try to make progress on my own writing projects. Sunday morning is church, after which we usually have a family lunch, and then it's back to the books. Such is life with two jobs and a literary bent....

Granata · 1 year ago

My typical weekend includes a trip to the zoo with the family if the weather permits, work on various personal and freelance projects, church and any variety of work around the house or in the yard.

Dr. François · 1 year ago

This time of year, I spend my weekends doing the following:

Making hard cider
Renovating the garage as an outdoor living room
Doing yard work
Taking the dogs on long walks
Kayaking on a slow-moving river
Cooking food for the pregnant wife

I love this time of year.

Lee · 1 year ago

I try to take advantage of any nice fall weather. Morning is usually time for chores like vacuuming, laundry and grocery shopping. By the afternoon, I'm ready to head out for a hike in the woods or bike ride. Come winter, you'll find me lounging by the fire in my new Hawaiiabera shirt.

Chris · 1 year ago

I love that shirt !!!!!!

Jack · 1 year ago

First and foremost I seek rest from the past week and restoration for the week upcoming. I take time to reconnect with my wife and children. I try to go out for a long run early in the morning. Oh, and of course mow then lawn and get any other needed household chores completed.

H. Michael Karshis · 1 year ago

I'm one of those lucky manly guys that actually already has a couple of these fine Original Hawaiiaberas bad boys. After two years of being worn once or twice a month they still look, fit and feel great! What I think I dig most is the fact that each of the two front pockets conveniently hold a bottle or can of beer perfectly - nice when you need a quick free hand to clean your shades, clap your hands or take a photo without looking like an idiot.

As for weekends - the last few have been like most weekend, some yard work, a little time spent getting caught up and prepared for the week ahead, Sunday BBQ and beer and of course, working on the big bailout plan...

peace,

HMK

Matthew · 1 year ago

Friday night is usually spent socializing with friends at our house or theirs. Saturday morning is all about the yardwork. After that, there's some inside work mingled with relaxing while the game is on. Saturday night is either more social night, or just relaxing around the house. Sunday morning starts with me making a huuuuuuge stack of pancakes, then going to church and choir practice, then coming home and doing the old tradition of a giant Italian dinner in the early afternoon. Sunday night is spent on the couch napping, or in the fridge grazing on lunch's leftovers. There's also phone calls to distant family and friends every Sunday night. Can't beat that!

capital P · 1 year ago

Nap and cut the grass. But not at the same time.

Jon · 1 year ago

I like to get outdoors, but too often those ambitions are cut short by responsibilities. So, weekends are usually preparing for the small group that meets at my house, housework, and working on the website. There is always time for a beer though!

Craig · 1 year ago

I work short days on Fridays and attempt to get most of my yard work and house cleaning done then.

That leaves Saturday and Sunday open for bike rides to the donut shop, and hobbies.

Kevin McCleery · 1 year ago

I tend to do a lot of little stuff - mow the lawn, go to the kids soccer game, grill, relax. I do too much all week, so I try to keep the weekend laid back.

Jeff Craig · 1 year ago

Hmm, Weekend activities...

Well, the Wife and I get up early on Saturday to head into the local farmers market the next town over to stock up on produce. Right now, that also means that when we get home, we can to prepare for the winter. Saturday is also our 'clean-the-house' day, so we scrub down the kitchen and the bathroom and do other chores around the apartment we need to get done.

Sunday, I get up closer to noon and cook brunch for the two of us, and we mostly just lounge around working on whatever sorts of projects we'd like.

Joel C · 1 year ago

Typically on Friday night I'll go out with friends to the local pub for a pint and a round of Big Buck Hunter.

Saturday is laundry/chore day unless there's something going on around the city that tickles my fancy.

Sunday I make pancakes for breakfast, get a little design work done, then go to my parents house for dinner. What better way to end the weekend than having a little cognac with the old man?

Ed · 1 year ago

Weekends are all about family time and projects around the house.

Anthony · 1 year ago

Saturday - up around 6:30. make a quick breakfast for the wife and three daughters, then out on the lawn tractor for 3 hours of grass cutting. this sounds like a long time to be cutting grass, but it is my peace time.....no phone, no computer, no kids or wife nagging me.....just me, the machine and the smell of fresh cut grass.

Mid day, my brother-in-law and I will decide on what to cook for the family dinner, and usually will include homemade sausage, beer-butt chicken and a few racks of ribs. Looowww and slooooooowwwwww cooking....which means the cooler full of beer and some nice cigars.

Sundays are for Church, fried chicken and lounging in the den watching football.

Chris · 1 year ago

Saturday is for catching up on chores, watching football, and most importantly spending time with the family. Sunday is for Church and spending time for the family

Judd · 1 year ago

Weekends? Science.

Nothing says "Surf's Up" like dissecting turtles.

James III · 1 year ago

Friday night I spend time with fellow teachers at our football game. Saturday Morning is for Cross Country Coaching. Saturday afternoon is family adventures; park picnicking, hiking, fishing, movie watching, strictly family time. Sunday morning is mass, followed by lunch at the in-laws, then a lazy, lazy, lazy afternoon and then left overs for dinner.

Jim · 1 year ago

I usually try and "unplug" from the office. As an IT administrator it's easy to let the troubleshooting take over at home.
"Unplug" usually involves college football, and hopefully watching or playing some golf.

Nice Shirts!

Frank Salazar · 1 year ago

Weekends are for logging miles on my walker here at the nursing home as I recover from surgery. I dream of days gone by when I surfed with a wooden board, or biked 30 miles into my late 60's.

tw · 1 year ago

I'd normally spend my weekends sailing, for which this shirt would be perfect. Alas, this weekend I'll be painting the boat, but I should have her back in the water by the time the shirt arrives.

JD · 1 year ago

I spend my weekend trying desperately to catch up with my many hobbies and still manage to maintain my house, at least a little.

unclejerry · 1 year ago

I'll usually put a load of laundry in and forget about it till the next morning cause all I can think about is getting outside, meeting up with friends and going on a motorcycle ride out in the country or out on a charity ride to raise money for kids and other causes.
If it's raining, I'll just stay in and mess around on the web or hop in the cage and go visit my niece and nephew.

Nathan · 1 year ago

Going to Hawaii in October, this would be great to wear strolling with my wife on the beach! Thanks El Grande Kahuna!

Nathan · 1 year ago

Forgot the weekend thing...a bit too quick on the submit. Lately it's been catching up on honey-do's, unboxing, and cleaning. Movies and video games with friends interspersed.

SRM · 1 year ago

this shirt would be great for my weekends of channel surfing, beer in hand.

Adam · 1 year ago

I've been known to hit the town wearing a flowered shirt, white pants, and sandals. Definitely puts off a summer vibe, and lets everyone know I'm a classy guy who's here to party. A nice cigar really tops off the outfit

Bill · 1 year ago

With 4 teenagers (14,15,16, and 18) I spend most of my weekends as a taxi and driving instructor with a death grip on the handbrake. Rearview mirror clipped to the passenger side sunvisor and bicycle mirror attached to my sunglasses. A comfortable shirt would make the experience less stressful!

tomjedrz · 1 year ago

My weekends (typically) ...

Saturday
- rise early and take a long walk with the dog
- pay bills in the morning
- yard/work or chores mid-day
- sports (watching, refereeing, watching the kid) in the afternoon
- something fun with the wife in the evening

Sunday
- rise early and take a long walk with the dog
- putter around the house while the wife and kid sleep in
- brunch, either in or out
- watch sports in the afternoon
- 5:30p mass
- prep for the week

I am a creature of habit!

Pete · 1 year ago

Lately the weekends have been busy with "house stuff" - getting ready to paint the living room and kitchen and fixing some things up before the Michigan winter months.

But typically, my weekend also involves sitting at home with my wife and dog, drinking beers, and watching a movie and/or football. Always football on Saturday afternoons, though - go Michigan State!

And yes, my wife both drinks beer and watches football!

Jessie · 1 year ago

I tend to spend Fridays going out with friends finding live music at local venues. Then Saturday's are spent glorying in the heaven that is LSU tailgating then watching my Tigers come out with a win (but usually keeping it interesting throughout so i don't get bored) over whomever is bold enough to give it a try that weekend. Then Sunday, I spend with friends and family. Church in the morning, big lunches after, nice nap mid-afternoon, and in the evening help with the youth at my church (i.e. whip the kids at every game from ping-pong to ultimate frisbee). That's my weekend in a nutshell.

Malachi · 1 year ago

I always play ultimate frisbee with my friends until about midnight friday, then we catch somethin' to eat. Sleep in 'til about 9 or 9:30 saturday and cut the grass, watch football and hangout with my friends some more. On Sunday I go to church, come home and watch football.

Bill B · 1 year ago

I spend my weekends chasing my 4 kids. I spend so much time at this activity that I now have Plantar Fasciitis from being on my feet so much. Oh, please let them all be fairly independent soon!

Kevin N · 1 year ago

i spend my weekends watching the big football game, working on my truck, and grilling every kind of food i can

JP · 1 year ago

I usually sleep in a little on Saturday, but that's a bit misleading in its language. Since I have to wake up every day at 4am during the week, I usually "sleep in" til 7:30 or so. I get up, make some coffee in my Senseo, and make some toast or a bagel. I catch up on my early Saturday Food TV shows (They moved Jamie Oliver!! Argh!), and lounge around until my girlfriend wakes up.

Saturdays are pretty wild-card when it comes to plans. Usually it's reserved strictly for fun or for occasional errands: Haircut, clothes shopping, football game, BBQ, etc. We usually have friends over fofr BBQ and games on Saturday night.

Sunday is cleaning day. My girlfriend and I have assigned chores that we knock out Sunday. We clean the house top-to-bottom on Sundays so that only light touch-up work is needed during the week. The rest of the day on Sunday is spent walking on the trail, cooking for the week (bread, muffins, etc.).

Overall, it's a very nice, relaxing weekend.

Tom · 1 year ago

Weekends for me usually consist of cycling, eating, drinking, and enjoying the company of friends who live in more interesting places than I.

jfherring · 1 year ago

Friday night: cut-loose time-- Usually, take my wife out on a date (or vice-versa). Maybe attend a party if applicable, or some local or at least nearby events.

Saturday: Leisurely work day-- Usually weekly chores, such as laundry, mowing, cleaning, etc. Complete at least one project, whether it is paint a room, hang a new gutter, change oil in vehicles, whatever. Night time involves a nice activity, such as a good book, or go to a movie, or, as of late, a night of cards with some friends.

Sunday: Usually relaxation day-- Catch some sports on TV, or live. Catch up on any reading, or movies to watch. Spend some time making a great supper. Sometimes, there are family suppers, parents, siblings, aunt, uncles, cousins, all attend for a potluck style feast.

Very occasionally, we are caught up and plan-less. On those weekends, we just rest and enjoy time with each other.

Rick Hamell · 1 year ago

Saturdays are for hanging out with my college buddies during the morning. And my lovely wife during the afternoon and evenings.

Sundays are catch up day. Get started on those hard core chores that can't be done during the week due to my work schedule, starting new projects, or heading down to the tool store "to look." Or I'll be driving/walking/biking around taking pictures and posting on my blog.

Soon weekends will be taken up by shopping for a house and all the thousand and one chores that means. Probably a little gardening, some home remodeling, and upgrading the house to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

matt · 1 year ago

college sports, wii, and copious amounts of alcohol.

Mike · 1 year ago

Saturday's are for taking care of my house and land, making breakfast for my Beautiful Wife and our daughters, slow-cooking a huge piece of meat for the rest of the weekend meals, cleaning the salt water fish tank, and finding broken things to fix.

Sunday's are for Mass, doing somethign with the girls, and finishing off that huge piece of meat.

This isn't "relaxing," this is LIVING LIFE.

Jay · 1 year ago

Saturday is a work day so my weekends start on Sunday. Sunday is time to spend with the kids. Up early, big breakfast then Riding bikes, going to the park or any other fun kid things to do. Monday when the wife is at work and the kids are in school, is a day working on the yard and house, playing with man's best friend, and taking a break consisting of a trip to the gun or archery range.

Ryan · 1 year ago

Looks like the perfect thing to wear while kicked back in a lawn chair smoking cigars!

Paul · 1 year ago

On Fridays I work out and enjoy the evening with my wife, taking in a picture or dining on a fine meal.

Saturdays are filled with chores, then football (if applicable), then relaxing, usually with a cookout and friends.

Sundays begin with church and a nice brunch, then relaxing in the afternoon, often at the park or while taking a nice walk or bike ride. Projects get worked on on Sundays as well, and occasionally a sporting event is enjoyed.

Justin · 1 year ago

Saturday's are spend recovering from Friday night's debaucheries. Sunday's are spent cooking with football-induced breaks.

robert miller · 1 year ago

Weekend activities are simple - I work. My shift is in the evening at a local television studio, so Friday nights are always tied up until around midnight. Go home, sleep, wake up, and I have about 7 hours before I have to be back. Typically I'll go to my cousins house and watch the Notre Dame football game with authentic Italian and Polish dishes to satisfy my stomach. Then off to work until midnight.

Sunday it's more of the same. Wake up, go to chuch, then I've got close to 5 hours to catch up on internet happenings, maybe some Team Fortress 2, then to work again until midnight.

Mix and repeat for each weekend.

Oliver · 1 year ago

The weekend starts after work on Friday so it's either going out with the girlfriend or heading to the local brewery.

Saturday is for collage football, at least in the fall. Other then that it's either yardwork, carwork, or housework. Saturday may see a day hike or long bike ride as well. In the evening... well that's another topic

Sunday is for a late breakfast, the paper, brewing beer and catching up on work a bit.

Rob · 1 year ago

I spend the weekend catching up on projects around the house, usually with a gym visit or a bike ride thrown in for good measure.

forensic1 · 1 year ago

The weekends, wow, when I get one, it's usually laundry, yard work, wash cars, drink beer, grillin and chillin, footbal/baseball, the beach. Then the sun goes down, and the real fun starts. Back porch, more grillin cold beer, warm friends, watch the sun drop.

Sunday, dry the laundry... more football, more beer and more grilling.

The idea is to do relax and enjoy. I've got a couple of these (we called them Panama Shirts back when the weapons fit nicely underneath) they are awesome

John · 1 year ago

I'm 18 yrs old and I really want that shirt because I am on a journey to become a man. I discovered this site during the summer and have been reading ever since. GO Art of Manliness GO!

Harry · 1 year ago

Saturday I usually go to my karate class and catch up on personal business, and somewhere in there make plans to hang out with friends. Oftentimes my extended family will interrupt that with other plans, like my kid brothers' Scout troop going away camping.

Bob in SF · 1 year ago

Friday night = date night with my lovely wife. Then Saturday is usually a chore day; working in the garden, around/on the house, cleaning, etc. Will have college football or a baseball game going in the background. If the weather is iffy might go to a double feature with the wife; one movie she picks and I get the other. Sunday is reserved for NFL in the fall and adventure days the rest of the year.

Lucas · 1 year ago

We just bought a house, so for the next few weeks my plan is simple:
1. Wake up and go to work
2. Come home
3. Unpack boxes
4. Assemble new furniture
5. Fight of sleep and unpack more boxes
6. Break down boxes
7. Think of sleep
8. Pass out while unpacking boxes
9. wake up on the floor in the living room and repeat starting at no. 1

After the next few months... I'd definitely like to wear a Hawaiibera shirt while cooking up some dogs in the backyard!

Cheers

Ken · 1 year ago

Saturdays are for mowing the lawn, karate practice with my son, puttering in the basement, an occasional hike or fishing trip, a round of golf with my boys, watching sports on TV, kanoodling with my wife in the evening, and enjoying life.

Rob · 1 year ago

On Saturday sleep in, study, watch football, prepare for Monday, repeat on Sunday.

Sean Conklin · 1 year ago

Lately I've been going to alot of weddings. But my favourite thing is to just spend time with the Old Lady, drink some beers, and just relax.

Jonathan · 1 year ago

Normally days are spent smoking cigars on the yacht while the girls wrestle in the pool. Evenings are spent either inspecting the mountains of cocaine made at the edge of town or making sure no one is moving in on my territory. Capiche?

Cole Kelly · 1 year ago

Cool shirt - I'd love to sport one of those around Athens, GA. As far as the weekends, I've set up a Saturday morning dad meet up with some buddies. We each take our kids for a morning of breakfast and play so the wives can rest, run, or watch the tivo'ed Grey's Anatomy. There are normally 3 dads and 8 kids - it's wild to say the least.

Saturday afternoon is family time with errands, play, mowing, etc. I ususally girll a good meal that evening for me and the Mrs.

Sunday - we all head to church. Our pastor makes us laugh outloud and think at the same time. Sunday afternoon, I play golf with the boys every other weekend or will spend the afternoon with family watching NFL football and playing wrestle with my 1, 3, and 4 year olds. Weekends - they are good!

craig · 1 year ago

This time of year, I coach my son's peewee football team so Friday nights I go straight from the office to the field. Practice runs from 6p-8p. by the time we get everything cleaned up and det home it's usually 9p. Get the kids into bed, then prep my stuff and my kids' stuff for Saturday's game.

Saturday: We do our pregame walkthrough from 9-10a. Coaches stay behind and prep/line the field, set up the concessions/announcer's booth, etc. Grab some lunch around 1p. Kids show up for the first of 4 games around 2p. First game kickoff is at 3p. Games run continuously until 10p under the lights. By the time we get everything cleaned up and put away I get home around 11p.

Sunday: Wake up and make a big breakfast for the family (usually pancakes and bacon. Head to church for 11a mass. After mass, we spend time as a family. This time of year Sundays are for going to the park, visiting the grandparents, apple picking, or just playing around in the backyard. Sunday evenings I watch the Rutgers game Tivo'd from Saturday.

Once peewee football season is over (at the end of October), I'll spend my Saturdays doing yardwork/cleanup and prepping the house for the winter.

Izzy · 1 year ago

I Paint! ALOT! I scuba sometimes, when I can. I love Guayaberas (i've got four and a couple of great straw fedoras) so I definitely want in.

Anthony · 1 year ago

Weekends consist of sitting around wishing i had a floral print shirt...

AND everything from chores, to movie days (can you say Star Wars marathon?) to spending time with my lovely girlfriend. A trip to see the fall colors at a state park was the main activity this past weekend.

Ben · 1 year ago

Hmmm, what did I do this past weekend... I woke up early Saturday morning for my class at the local college, after which I jumped on my bike and rode 70 miles out to our cottage on Lake Michigan. Spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with family, playing with the kids on the beach, and enjoying the warm spell we've been having.

Next weekend I'll be brewing beer with some buddies and doing work around the house. Of course, I also find time to do homework for school and after-hours work for customers in the middle of everything else I have going on. It's a busy life, but I have a great time enjoying every minute of it!

Mike Koehler · 1 year ago

My perfect weekend is in the fall, when the weather is just right. Hanging out with the family in the backyard, the radio blaring some college football and no chores in sight. The weather in Oklahoma may be brutal in the summer, but it's glorious in football season.

An · 1 year ago

I'm a line cook and my Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights are all work nights. From 5 PM all the way to 1 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, 3 PM to 11 PM on Sundays.

During the days however, I try to get as many chores done around the home, whether it's to clean up, sharpen my knives, or think of a dinner special to serve at work. I also run a morning roadwork and do a little circuit training to keep in shape because I tend to graze a lot of food at work, don't want to put on the extra pounds.

It's not all bad spending weekend nights working. I get to see many good looking female customers, get to flirt with the waitresses, and bullshit around with my fellow cooks. We're a good and organized team who knows how to have fun.

When the shift is over, I have my usual after-shift beer and after-shift shot of Johnnie Black or Gran Marnier, whichever one the bartender is able to sneak to me first.

jeff rood · 1 year ago

The weekend's i do have off are usually spent either playing guitar,mowing lawn or hanging with the family.Depending on which one it is...The shirt's are really cool,love to own one!

Steve Piper · 1 year ago

Friday night's start with dinner at the Bar-b-Que restaurant. Saturday mornings I do karate lessons with my grandson and then we all head to the grocery store for supplies. Sundays we have coffee and breakfast, read the paper and then head off to Church. There's usually some housecleaning and lawn mowing thrown in there too.

Curtis · 1 year ago

My weekends normally consist of Ultimate frisbee, Dallas Stars Hockey, spending time with my new wife, walking my dog Roxy, grocery shopping, cooking and catching up on what's going on in the world since I'm pretty busy during the week.

Kent · 1 year ago

Just about every other weekend I drive almost 400 miles to my parents rental houses to help with repairs, cleaning and other turnover related jobs. However, this also lets me see the rest of my family.

Most of the other weekends either I spend working on DIY projects at home, i.e. soldering electronics, building PCs, etc, or I spend hanging out with my friends and reading/playing video games.

Chip · 1 year ago

Watch Notre Dame Football... Go to Farmer's Market... My wife and I lead a high school youth group, so after church on Sunday we lead our group of 30 teens.

Randy Bradakis · 1 year ago

On the weekends, I tend to put on a festive-print shirt and hang out with my friends. Making things, Partying, playing with our children, or just watching movies together.

Scott Leak · 1 year ago

I generally sleep in (until 0600), do grocery shopping, watch football (if Michigan's on TV) and do chores. Sunday's just for catching up on reading, websurfing, email, beer drinking, etc.; all the things I can't do during the week. Grilling steak, too. (6 o'clock is sleeping in, 'cause I get up at 4 on weekdays.)

Bill · 1 year ago

Saturday usually consists of my kid's soccer games, mowing the lawn, finished up an evening of hanging out with family and friends. Sunday consists of church, grocery shopping and then either lounging around the house, a project, or a trip to the park or beach.

AlexC · 1 year ago

I heard that some barbers wear Guayabera shirts... mine always wore lab coats.

Edward · 1 year ago

The Weekend is my time to stop worrying about the usual routine of the next day. So, I try and make each weekend somewhat unique. I might do anything from a couple hours of yard/house work, to watching college football (during the fall), read, play sports, dabble in a hobby, escape for a weekend of camping, hunting, fishing (or all combined into one amazing weekend).

However, I definitely have my weekend staples. At least once, every weekend, you will definitely find me cooking on an open flame. I will always make time for a quick nap on Saturday. And I spend my time with God (which is pretty much every day). And soon I will my daughter will be born and I will be doing lots with her on my weekends.

Matt Greenwood · 1 year ago

Until last week, weekends consisted of home renovation projects. Those are now done, so I'm currently exploring options. The hockey season is starting this weekend, so Hockey Night in Canada will become a regular activity on a Saturday night.

Guayaberas are simply awesome. I have half a dozen. They're stylish and they make a great impression, especially here in Canada where you don't see them very often.

Jack · 1 year ago

Well everyday is the same in Afghanistan so my buddies and I pretty much just use the weekend as a milestone representing another week closer to going home. When I am home I like to spend as much time with my son as possible. Camping, hiking, swimming and pretty much anything else outdoors.

Brett B. · 1 year ago

This time of year, I get up around 7 am with my toddler, feed my wife's horse, then relax in my sofa until my NCAA Football game(s) of choice start (Go #8 BYU Cougars! Go Buckeyes!). Then my beloved and I sit down with my four year old and watch the game. Then dinner, and after the kids are in bed, my wife and I pop some popcorn, put a dvd on, and watch movies.

Brett B. · 1 year ago

After re-reading my post, I thought I should clarify, my "beloved" *is* my wife :)

-B

Bill S · 1 year ago

Weekends:
Usually a family activity or two, cooking on the Big Green Egg (last weekend we smoked 4 pork shoulders), sporting clays, cigars and some much appreciated time down time.

Bill S · 1 year ago

I think Jack should be a winner. If I win, give him my shirt.

Alessandro · 1 year ago

What do I do on Fridays? Well, I know what I will be doing -- wearing my Hawaiibera shirt, of course!

I don't typically get weekends off (alas, the brutal reality of being a surgical resident), so Friday is really no different from any other day for me. Nevertheless, it has that "feel" of the end of a week, even if I still have to get up at 5am the next morning. So I take a break from my usual activities and try to spend more time with my wife, who is patiently counting the hours until I'm done with residency. If I manage to get home at a decent hour, I'll take her out for dinner or a movie... or we'll just rent a movie and snuggle up on the couch in PJs, with warm apple pie à la mode. Sometimes we play some music and browse through pictures or work on our family scrapbook.

It's not much, but every little bit counts.

danielo · 1 year ago

My weekends alternate between "Daddy Weekends" when I have my son, and "Bachelor Weekends" when I don't. As such, my typical weekend schedule alternates between bicycle adventures involving the library, parks, frisbee, and movies, and more "mature" adventures, including adult beverages and romance.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm the luckiest dude around.

Ryan · 1 year ago

being as friday is a sacred day, I finish with work around 1130 or noon, then go eat lunch. I diet all week (sun-fri morning), so lunch friday is my first chance of the week to enjoy some high calorie indulgance. I may then relax by getting in an easy workout, OR, I may do some cleaning around the house while having a beer. Then I usually get dinner (and more beer) with some friends before we go have some drinks (oftentimes these drinks are beer at my favorite local beer servery). At this point it is time to start relaxing (maybe by having some more beer). Friday usually sets the tone for the rest of the weekend.

Its not all beer though, there are always sazerac, swizzles, rum and absinthe (maybe even martinis).

Greg · 1 year ago

Saturday, college football this time of year, the beach most of the rest.

Sunday, church, breakfast with my wife and the paper, relax in the afternoon, maybe a stroll on the beach.

And NEVER think about work.

Joe · 1 year ago

I own my own business, so some work on the weekends is unavoidable. The rest of the time, I'm either playing tennis, playing poker, watching a movie with the wife, and/or enjoying a Scotch.

phil · 1 year ago

I'm in the Air training corps, which is a british youth organisation affiliated with the Royal Air Force (I think the closest American equivalent is the Civil Air Patrol), so we do something most weekends. Right now I'm on a gliding scholarship, so I'm getting up at 6 every saturday and building up to a solo flight soon. Rugby every Sunday, which is great, school work wherever I can fit it (I'm doing half my subjects a year early so I have no teachers for maths or physics) and meals out with friends whenever we've all got an evening free. All in all, I think it's brilliant.

Josh · 1 year ago

Fridays are usually short for me. After a long week at work, I come home, have a couple of beers, and hit the sack early. Not too terribly interesting.

Saturdays, however, tend to have a bit more substance. Usually I'll sleep a bit late then take a nice, long, hot, relaxing shower. After that I usually spend the remainder of the morning and early afternoon at my hobby: Restoring and cleaning/sharpening old swords and knives. The evening is usually spent either having a cook-out with my friends (I make some killer ribs) or reading.

On Sunday, if we didn't cook out on Saturday (Read: It was too cold to cook on the grill), my friends and I get together and make a nice Sunday breakfast (Eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, grits, etc.). Then I'll spend the rest of the day working at my hobby and/or reading.

All in all, I lead a pretty simple life. Don't have a TV so the only things to do are read, use the internet, and spend time with my blades. Periodically I'll go out on the weekends to find something new to fix up, but that happens about once a month, not regularly.

Ed · 1 year ago

Weekends are planned around family activities first (kids sports, birthday parties, trips, local cultural events, get together with friends, etc.) On the weekends we have "free" we catch up on chores, home projects, or just relax and enjoy some time doing nothing.

Jason · 1 year ago

On weekends I like to relax from school, spend time with friends, and practice Karate.

Allen Chang · 1 year ago

Weekends are great to catch up on sleep, exercise, and finding tucked away events in the city to check out. If I don't get to see friends and family during the week, the weekend is designated for them - far far far away from work!

Stuart · 1 year ago

Hilarious! I'm wearing my blue hawaiian shirt as I read this article!

My typical weekend activities include blogging, running, and spending time with my fam.

Wade · 1 year ago

Saturday morning begins at 8 am with Ramball (a game invented by my friend's brother). Ramball is volleyball played on a tennis court with a basketball. The ball can bounce on your side between hits, but the player has to have both feet off the ground when touching the ball. It looks very dorky at first, but it's a very strenuous game and lots of fun to play. Oh yeah, to serve, you have to face away from the net, throw the ball over your shoulder, and shout "Scholbber!"

After Ramball, back home for a shower (to be clean for the Mrs.), do the regular chores around the house (laundry, dishes, floors, etc.). If the weather is right, we'll spend the afternoon at the beach or the pool with the kids, perfect time to sport the Hawaiiabera! If I'm lucky, I might be able to catch a football game or two.

Sunday is church day, and that Hawaiiabera shirt will be feeling nice after a morning in a shirt and tie.

Chris · 1 year ago

Since I have a compressed work schedule I have nearly every Friday off. I consider Friday the Kid Day where I spend as much time with my 3 year old daughter doing as much fun stuff as we can pack in the day. Often, my wife will choose to work her 1 day per week job on that day leaving me free to come up with activities only having to think of things that would entertain the two of us. Saturdays are house duty days, which some days could see me only mowing the lawn while others are full on Home Improvement onslaughts. Sundays are rest days. I generally dress a sluch, acta slouch and just take enough time to iron shirts and polish shoes at the end of it. Otherwise it's take it easy in the easy chair.

Brendan · 1 year ago

I try to get together with my buddies every weekend and have a chili night. Each of us will bring a couple a ingredients and cook up a big batch. After talking over the week, we split up the leftovers and head out. Its become somewhat of a ritual now.

Logan Warren · 1 year ago

I usually start the weekend mornings with a cup of tea and a read, then I'll don my going-out clothes (usually a flower shirt... I have 4 of them and about 5 t-shirts) then head to the cafeteria. (I'm in college) Then, I study, do research, visit with friends, clean my room, polish my leather goods, wash my clothes, etc... If I am feeling up to it, I may go camping. On Sunday mornings I pack church clothes into my backpack and head for a church of my prior choosing. Upon arrival, I don my nice clothes and worship my creator as best I can.

Logan Warren

Steve · 1 year ago

I work on lectures for work on the weekends, practice guitar, hunt, hike and drink beer, I think this shirt would work for at least 5 of those activities!

Glen Stansberry · 1 year ago

I usually try to do something fun that enables me to get out of the house, watch football, have a beer and smoke the occasional cigar with friends. I also love to come up with new website ideas and try and wireframe them. Yeah... I'm a dork :)

Matthew · 1 year ago

Currently I'm doing an internship in my home town. So, I take advantage of the weekend (getting out of the parents' house) by going up to Penn State for every home football game. Don't get me wrong, the folks are great, but...the football weekends really serve as a great outlet for my manly needs. I'm sure some people have great weekend getaways, but what's better than football, wings, and some grade A women.

Nudels · 1 year ago

The weekend starts with Fun Friday, meaning I spend extra time with the kids all the way to sleep time, sometimes telling them stories about their Mom and I (when we first met, where we honeymooned, how we got our little princesses (adopted)) while they drift off to sleep. After the kids go to sleep, it's movie/footrub night, time to unwind from the weekend. Wife and I watch a movie, I give her a footrub. Sometimes I have a glass of wine.

Saturday AM is big breakfast morning! Eggs, sausage, omelets, etc.. anything goes! Usually we have something planned for the day like a visit to friends/relatives, going to a park or beach, or perhaps washing the cars and working in the garden. Saturday night we sometimes go out to eat for a treat.

Sunday is the Lords day, Church time, then home to wrap up any loose ends before the week starts. Usually spent at home,

Then again, other weekends, we just wing it the whole way!

Kendire · 1 year ago

Saturdays are all about chores (real men clean the bathroom), and Sundays are all about getting outside (hiking and picnics!) followed by catching up on TV from the previous week.

WELL! It just so happens....This Friday, I'll be going to see Tom Friedman. Saturday, oh...letsee...I am going to the shooting range first thing in the morning and then off to a solar energy tour in the afternoon! My Saturday evening will be well rounded with a drum circle. And on Sunday I'll either go to Meeting or to a Organic food festival! Are there any rules against a woman winning??

Jim Kirk · 1 year ago

On Friday evenings I spend time with my wife, then on Saturday I write some more and try to catch up on my "Art of Manliness" feeds that I've missed. Then on Sunday I repeat Saturday!

Daryle · 1 year ago

Weekends, that brief respite from the worldly grind, when a ham-and-egger can go from sub-foreman at the rockpile, to a Renaissance man of leisure.

Having studied under the greats, Don the Beachcomber, Trader Vic, Burt Reynolds, I'll shake up something special; a Mai-Tai, possibly a Zombie. Whatever the mood reflects. The garage calls; there's lumber to be hewn, and iron for welding. What's that, you'd like me to carve another tiki for the garden? Certainly, honey.

Nightime means having the gang over, to share my mixological skills and, if we're lucky, watch some hockey. If only America had rugby. Alas. When did I have time to smoke a pork butt and grill T-bones for the crew? It's all part of the package, and sorry ladies, this guy's taken.

Sunday it's time for a ride; let's head down to the zoological gardens, and observe those crazy monkeys. Man, I dig watching monkeys. Who said Adventure Golf? Sure, we can go a few rounds, knocking our putts through the crashed plane and over the 'gator pit. Since that sure works up a thirst, we'll probably head over to the Shake Pit, and get malts. Man, that's living.
Homeward bound, and just enough time for a port and my pipe. Ready for work yet? Not so fast, Jack, this fella needs to relax a little with some good reading; Kon-Tiki, yeah, that's one read worth a repeat.

Only five more days 'til we re-convene!

Saturdays are for golf with the boys.
Sundays are for golf with the lady friend.
I figure if I can find someone to sponsor me, I could quit my day job and golf everyday. Then by the time I'm 50, I'll be ready for the senior tour - any takers?

Rome · 1 year ago

Saturday mornings I'm drinking coffee with my mentors. Then I run a few errands. Then it's cleaning up around the house since nothing get's cleaned up during the work week. The evening is then spent at church. Sunday's is sleep in day, then a nice cup of coffee and the paper. After which is just finding things to do that are relaxing or taking care of things that don't get done the previous day.

Jeffrey Roupp · 1 year ago

My weekend starts on Friday night with poker. Saturday is working on the house/yard. Right now I am gutting part of my house and doing all of the carpentry, plumbing, sheetrocking and (most of) the electrical myself. Saturday night is usually a date night with my wife and Sunday starts with Mass followed by family time and possibly some sports watching.

Vineeh · 1 year ago

Friday
Read the news.
Catch up on any Colbert or Jon Stewart that I may have missed over the week.
Sleep, rest, chill.

Saturday
Go out with friends and play some b-ball.

Sunday
Church.

Dan Craig · 1 year ago

The weekend starts about an hour before 5pm at work. Fridays at the office are "Hawaiian shirt Fridays", started as a joke but now de rigeur. I split my Fridays between Hawaiian shirts with WWII aircraft on them, and three vintage guayabera shirts I picked up at a used clothing store a couple years back. I'd love to rock the Hawaiiabera on Fridays.

The weekend starts a little before 5pm when a coworker and I head to the liquor store to pick up some beers and head back to the office. We hangout on the upstairs balcony overlooking the airport and drink, watch planes, and wait out rush hour. Saturday is a random day, sometimes go on a day trip, sometimes work on side projects, sometimes run errands. If the weather is nice, I'll sit outside and read. If friends are available, Saturday night is usually spent with them. Sunday, after a nice brunch with the girlfriend, is cleaning day. Clean up the house, run the laundry, then do homework for the evening class I'm taking.

j.c. · 1 year ago

friday nights is a serious dinner done right with a bottle of wine and/or beer. then it's video games with the wife after the baby hits the rack.

saturday is all about getting up, making a huge breakfast for the family and then taking some time with the tv. sometimes a trip out for some hiking. sometimes a little guitar playing. and sometimes a great big pile of nothing!

sunday is fix-it day and the mandatory afternoon nap.

Sarge · 1 year ago

My typical weekend? Depends on the time of year. Most weekends will find me poolside. I am an official with USA Swimming and my son is a swimmer. I could be doing anything from refereeing, starting, or judging. It is a great time to do the manliest of things and spend time with my family.

Publius804 · 1 year ago

I'll frequently gowith friends to a place called Shelly's Backroom Tavern - one of the three places or so left in DC where one can smoke cigars and drink in public. So it's Shelly's, an ice cold beer, cigars & pointless conversation about sports, women & politics.

Kenny Sutherland · 1 year ago

On the weekends I slave over an oven and make breakfast for my girlfriend, then I work on various fix-it and building projects around the house. I always have some electronics project, and some other large-scale wood project I'm fiddling with. Sundays are my days to relax, read, and then find some new recipe to cook with my girlfriend for later that night.

Ben · 1 year ago

Friday night, off comes the work shirt and on goes the fat party guy shirt. Then dinner and out on a small barhop with friends.

The rest of the weekend is usually a combo of video games, nights out and occasional worrying on whether I'll still make the rent.

Matthew Johnston · 1 year ago

To me the recipe for the perfect weekend, assuming I didn't procrastinate on any homework, is to head outside, relax and read a good book. A good day grilling is also very therapeutic. However the best getaway is a hike and subsequent rest with nature, or course this is for when I really just have to get away.

Worsel · 1 year ago

I like to spend my weekends in bookstores, basking in the glow of all that lovely, lovely literature...oh, and the coffee is a big draw also.

Greg A. · 1 year ago

I catch up on sleep and watch football as much as possible but also spend time with my wife shopping and taking care of chores around the house. I have a weird weekend that only leaves me at home with her one day a week so I make the most of it. But that day home is for sleep!

Johnny Harris · 1 year ago

I'm in the US Navy, so usually i'm out to sea...as i am right now. But, when i'm in port, we have a lot of rockabilly cookouts, work on cars, watch College football...just enjoy being on land.

Saturday mornings are work-around-the-house times: cleaning, fixing, pruning, cutting, painting, etc. Getting stuff done. Paying bills. Life's little chores.

Saturday afternoons, the wife, the toddler and the baby take long naps: I go out onto the back patio with a cigar, a beverage, and a good book.

Saturday night = date night with the wife, regardless of whether or not we actually leave the house. We've had some very sexy Scrabble games, she and I...In fact, we'll forego higher scoring turns, in favor of flirty words. (There's more than one way to score, wink-wink).

Sunday mornings are for church.

Sunday late afternoon marks the start of family time: I cook a big family dinner, oftentimes hosting family and friends. These are big, hearty meals, deliberate celebrations of our time together and the blessings we enjoy. We laugh a lot, relax, eat well, and are generally ready to tackle the new week on Monday.

Walt Stewart · 1 year ago

A Saturday in the Fall means college football. It means teaching my 4 yr old son the fine points of being a fan of the University of Alabama and Crimson Tide football. It means deep, pregame conversations with my wife concerning defensive schemes and depth charts. It means analyzing quarterback play and tendencies with my in-laws after the game. A Fall Sunday means college football polls, church, as little yard work as possible, family time, an occasional dove hunt and looking forward to the next Saturday on the calendar.

My weekends are currently filled with a bit of work and trying to finish the kitchen reno... man could I use a shirt like that to go out and celebrate when I finally get my kitchen done!!

Cgad Harp · 1 year ago

While Sundays are for church and tinkering around the house, Saturdays are my get outside days. Either gathering a group of buddies to head out in the woods for camping and hiking, or heading to a friend's ranch for a rodeo roping event.

DLM · 1 year ago

I sit around worrying about what shirt to wear. Problem solved!

Douglas Wilson · 1 year ago

At least for the next few month, my weekends are devoted to nothing but football. Saturday is College games, Sunday is NFL and (just for good measure) I get to extend the weekend one more day for Monday Night Football. I know it doesn't sound like a very productive plan, but what-the-hell, it works for me!

Steve · 1 year ago

I catch up on chores and watch football.

John Watkins · 1 year ago

My weekends are spent at batting practice so I got my game on for fall ball.

Tim Leach · 1 year ago

Saturdays are for working outside (mowing, pulling weeds, house maintenance, etc...). Sundays are for rest. I take a nap almost every Sunday after walking the dog.

John Murphy · 1 year ago

Primarily lawncare, followed by a cooking show or two, miscellaneous chores around the house and then polishing my Harley Davidson.

Alberto · 1 year ago

Last weekend was pretty typical. Took the Mrs. for a spin in the Viper to the donut shop where I broke up an armed robbery and held the thieves until the PD could get there. Then a quick trip to the butcher shop were I demonstrated the finer points of filleting to Charles my meatcutter. Popped home to fix my dearest a refreshing organic tea with strawberries to snack on. While she took a nap I rewired the house and finished putting in the fire control sprinkler system. When she awoke, I gave her a full-body massage with imported exotic oils. After that, as my fingers uncramped, I relaxed on the patio with a cigar and 7 or 8 mojitos. Then it was time to make lunch.

KM · 1 year ago

I ride my Harley on the weekends. I've never seen anyone at any of the rallies with a flowered shirt before. Maybe I'll start something new; it matches a black helmet, right?

Weekends are all about relaxing after the work week. Tai Chi , catching up on my reading, and spending quality time with my wife.

stephen sutton · 1 year ago

My Weekend invairably get swallowed by chores. By long standing agreement my wife takes care if the inside and has total control of that area of our domestic bliss and I take care of the outside and landscape with my total control over that. It works. One weekend a month, we head to Holmes Beach, on the west central coast of Florida, to do our maintenance bit on family rental property. So our life is maintenance times two. I have a lot of work cloths stashed at the beach , but I have 2 treasured shirts in reserve for when I get cleaned up an relax on the beach patio, with a cold one, after all is done. One is a very unique and loud hawiian shirt I "borrowed" from my late father in law, who picked up this gem in Hawaii on the way back from WWII. So this beauty predates Hawaiian statehood. The other is a linen dress guayabera i picked up from my wife's grandfather's closed after he passed away some two decades ago.
True.
So I know where this article is coming from. Can't beat the old wold ways of a gentleman. All I need now is a first class straw panama.
So what do I do - I work like a dog to earn some first class chill time.

Charles · 1 year ago

Always start with coffee. Black, no sugar.. Make it in a chemex. I might throw in a load of wash during the second cup. I might not. I will have fed the cats however, They will not abide dawdling.. Rinse dishes, have more coffee, consider shaving and what to do today. I will go shopping for the grilling that will happen later in the day. You guys take care,
Charles

Jon Wilburn · 1 year ago

I usually spend time with my 2 boys. Sometimes we go to Lowes and build something. We always have football on during the season. Of course I catch up on the "Honey Do" list. I also take classes on line so some of the time I do homework. If we can swing it, I like to go on a hike.

Ricky Jones · 1 year ago

I go with the flow I sometimes play soccer go camping or clean the house. But Usually having a man of a good time.

Jay · 1 year ago

I usually try to fix my bikes up, straighten the house (I rent, so I don't have to do yardwork. :D )

Then maybe take a walk with my wife, or ride my bikes for a few hours.
That's about it. We don't often have huge weekend plans. :) Or, more typically, my weekends are spent planning for one _big_ weekend of _big_ plans.

Gregor · 1 year ago

Weekends at our place are busy. Friday night is family night, usually a couple of games, craft projects, or pop corn and movies. Saturday starts with a check in at work then getting the boys to violin. The rest of the day is spent on chores around the casa. Sunday, is lawn, work again, then chores again.

James · 1 year ago

Standard weekend activities include (but are not limited to) washing the car, cleaning the apartment, going out to the movies with the woman, hanging with the guys, hitting up a bar, washing the dog, going for a run (or two!), buying groceries, reading a book, visiting family, and much much more!

But mostly it's a dedication to recharging my batteries for the coming work week.

Brian · 1 year ago

My wife works in retail so on Saturday it's just the kids and I at home. I make them breakfast and then we spend several hours cleaning the house, doing yardwork, making repairs, etc. Then, after the wife joins us for dinner, we have family time; playing games, watching movies, etc.

Sundays have a bit of a routine. We go to church and then come home for a big breakfast/brunch. Our other meal is a big, early dinner. Depending on the situation, I may take the kids fishing for a few hours or we may all wash our vehicles. Regardless, my wife finishes washing any laundry. I will usually spend some time on the grill preparing for dinner. After dinner, we all wind down and prepare for the new week.

Ben from Bedford · 1 year ago

On Saturday I will typically mow the lawn in the morning, then sometimes take my daughter out on her bike, and relax in the afternoon before I go to work that night. I am on the radio (only part-time, and I am NOT bragging, still a rookie!) and I HAVE to wear an aloha styled shirt to be "in character". Sundays are church and family time. We usually have dinner with my Dad, and watch the Cowboys.

Richard · 1 year ago

I would wear this shirt while I photograph local professional SoCalPro Wrestling in Oceanside, CA. The fans will love it and I am sure I will get a lot of requests of where I got it.

Great commercial for the shirt.

As a Park Ranger at the Castillo de San Marcos, NM in Florida I shoot Spanish cannons on the weekends; the latin flavor of the Guayabera mixed with the tropical splendor of Florida -- Brilliant!

I'll fit out my five man crew with these!

Jared (Jay) · 1 year ago

The weekends are something that I look forward too! Trying to get that extra hour of sleep, then it is off to the back yard to do some cleaning up. Then I catch the game that's going on, or go tailgate with some old college buddies of mine, come by the frat tent and make a guest appearance and give some advice to the younger guys about the old days, how to not look like a douche frat guy, and what they should do for a cool philanthropy event. Hanging out with my girl is always fun, and then I usually take the dogs out for a run... Stay in shape. Sundays are even better, Church and then some R&R then I prepare for cooking... Yeah I cook...

Mike Dodge · 1 year ago

I try and catch up on sleep since my roommate likes to keep me up all hours of the night. When I'm not unconscious, I try to study a little or just hang out with the boys. Sundays, I watch the Simpsons.

Steve · 1 year ago

Friday nights are typically date night for my wife and me. The rest of the weekend is usually given over to family: doing man chores around the house and yard, spending some quality time with the kids, maybe watching a family movie.

Dave · 1 year ago

Saturdays are busy. I’ve got the kid’s soccer games (There is nothing funnier than a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds playing soccer), chores around my house, and chores at my grandmother’s house.

Sundays are for football (Go Chargers!) and barbeques. More often than not, the wife and I will end up taking the boys to the movies, the park, or the local putt-putt. It doesn’t get much better than that.

I am fortunate enough to have Mondays off as well (10 hour work days). The wife’s at work, the kids are at school, and I go to the casino. I can’t think of anything cooler than sitting at the Blackjack table in that Hawaiiabera shirt.

Gregory · 1 year ago

My weekends during the summer consist of trot lining and limb lining for fish in the river closest to my house. During the fall I am usually target shooting to get ready for coon and squirrel hunting. Of course winter weekends is all about hunting and reading. Most importantly to me all year long is church on Sundays.

LJ · 1 year ago

Weekends...ah...usually I dream of sleeping in & getting tons of cleaning done, but then have something that prevents it... Last weekend I went dancing, judged dance auditions, went to a gem faire, out to a "girls night" dinner, church on Sunday, a canyon drive, dinner with my man's parents...always overscheduling!

But this is really about my man, who, by the way, would LOVE this shirt...which would be the reason I am probably the only lady friend posting a comment for this contest!! He & I try to go on a date on Friday night, then his weekend is pretty much consumed right now by the amazing deck he is building, church on Sunday, dinner with either his parents or my extended family, & possibly some working time for his second job.

Jay from Kentucky · 1 year ago

On the weekends I enjoy driving my Morgan Horses put to a Pacific Carriage and watching the Buckeyes.

Fuddster · 1 year ago

Lately my weekends have been occupied with overtime since my wife had to undergo some shoulder surgery and has been out of work. Normally, though, my weekends are mostly about chilling out, spending time with the family and trying to catch up on stuff left over from the week.

Bill · 1 year ago

My typical weekend starts at dawn with a cup of black coffee and list. There's always work to be done around the house, from lawn care, to modest renovation projects. Regardless of the project, I figure out a way to bring one of the six-pack of kids into it and make it a teaching point. It's important that my sons and daughters learn what is expected of a man and how he should act. Of course, the weekend wouldn't be a weekend without church so that's the first thing of the week, Sunday AM. Lastly, whether we're camping as a family, going to church, grilling on the deck, or mowing the lawn, proper attire is required. A flower print shirt, like one of these, is my preferred attire for an end of a long Saturday, with cold drink, hot food, and warm company. Unfortunately, my two printed shirts are fading fast..

Ann · 1 year ago

On the weekends I go on long bicycle rides and drink beer.

Bruce Prentice · 1 year ago

My weekends are rather mundane. How about lots of yard work and projects around the house, a little Michigan football, maybe a movie and church on Sunday. The reality is, we enjoy it all. It would be fun to wear that Manly Hawaiian Shirt while doing some weekend grilling!

Thanks,
Bruce

Valerie · 1 year ago

I go to Happy Hour and end up closing down a bar on Friday nights/Sat 2AM.
Sat:
Watch my college (TEXAS A&M- Whoop!) play football. (And likely for this season, I will be watching us lose most of our games)
Run errands, make a plan for the evening
Follow through with those plans -- usually going to a concert or live music, exploring a new bar or club, or going to parties hosted by other like-minded individuals. Last week it was a "Pimp and Ho" party. Sidenote: There were very few Gentleman pimps. Mostly cheezy halloween costumes. Except for a couple, one wore a solid white and the other a Black Pinstripe suit, both had white hats with a black accent, and carried a real cane. THAT was a gentlemanly way to attend!)
Sunday=Football. (and monitoring my Fantasy Player's performance via Stat Tracker and NFL.com.) All day. I usually don't even open the door on Sunday, much less put clothes on. I also consume a steak, burger, etc that my manly man Joe grills up just right!

PS- I know I'm one of the only gals posting to this, but I would totally love to give this shirt to my brother- he is the vintage hawaiian shirt king.

Jim · 1 year ago

Saturdays I work, Sundays I catch up on the news and any household work that needs to be done.

Cole Brodine · 1 year ago

My weekends are differnt depending on the season.

During the summer months, my family and I spend our time outdoors. We take bicycle rides to the park or the community pool. We grill outside in out backyard with family. We travel to the family farm to visit my Mom and Dad and let our kids see the animals. Sometimes we ride our bikes to the city library to get books to read outside.

During the fall months, we still spend a lot fo time outdoors. We like to go to the local University and watch my youngest brother play football. Sometimes we even travel to his away games. Work picks up on the farm, so its a good time to get a ride in the combine or on the tractor. Fall seems like the best time to go camping to me, before it gets too cold at night, but it still is pleasant during the day.

During the winter months we stay indoors and do housework on the weekends. We also like to watch movies and television. It's a great time to catch up on my computer hobby, working on old computers and installing Linux on them to perform various tasks. (Our home is getting "smarter" all the time!)

Spring is the season where work starts to pick up again. Usually I spend some time grilling outdoors, even thought it is too cold, because I just can't wait to do it again. Time to start on the outdoor work again, cleaning up the lawn and doing any house work that was put off in the fall.

I already wear Hawaiian shirts, and I think one more would be a great addition to my collection. Since I'm an Engineer, I can't wear them at work, but I spend most weekends wearing one!

Cliff Knesel · 1 year ago

I either have guard that weekend, I work out in the field (I'm an archaeologist), do work around my house, work on my girlfriends house, go hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter.

Frank Alberts · 1 year ago

Fridays I open the first cold beer of the week, kick back and relax. Saturday and Sunday I spend with my family. Once a month I play poker with the guys. In season, I coach my boy's little league team. Mostly, I recharge my batteries for the coming week.

Bill · 1 year ago

Cold beer, barbecue, and concerts on Friday. Hungover hiking on Saturday. Sunday is a day of rest.

TheMadJosher · 1 year ago

Over the weekend, I generally pick a project from my extensive list and work on it.

Most of them involve the use of a tablesaw, plywood, and a pneumatic nail gun.

I never wear a shirt while I'm woodworking.

Wayward · 1 year ago

Not a man; Don't have a pair... at least not of those. But my main squeeze does and he's Hawaiian. He left the islands about 20 years ago and is running low on aloha shirts. Would love to treat his with one of these.

Victor Ryden · 1 year ago

Go to synagogue on Saturday morning for services, small congregation, pretty laid back. That shirt would look great on the Bima.
Sundays are chore days and catching up on my reading.

Eric · 1 year ago

Spend time with the kids. They are young, so we play around the house and go on walks. I don't feel the need to cram a whole bunch of stuff into my weekend.

Peter Webb · 1 year ago

I work sunday to thursday, so on friday I usually try to take my girlfriend out or at least hang out with friends if she can't. Saturdays I go to juggling club in the morning, and then go to a local game store to play Rifts. Good fun.

Logan Warren · 1 year ago

When I rise, I begin my weekend with some stretches, always a good thing to do. I then consult my weekend planner for the rest of my day... Then, I ignore the planner and do whatever I feel like doing.

Thursday is my Friday, but dont let that stand on ceremony.

I have a 4 day work week so I usually try to spend some quality time with the family between work and travel its hard but important to do.

Thanks for the giveaway.

My weekends are spent on a variety of things, depending on the season. Some of the things include odd jobs/yardwork/cleanup around the house, college sports viewing (at the stadium or on tv), visiting with friends or family, cooking something on the grill, and the like. Sundays are spent at church and as a day of rest.

My weekends are usually spent with my family. Helping around the yard, followed by a good meal out. The evenings are reserved for friends; Watch a movie, talk cars, etc. Good times.

Matt · 1 year ago

I usually start off my weekend by cutting down at least a dozen redwoods with an axe that my good friend paul bunyan gave me. Next i join up with my friends to go raid a merchant ship or two in the gulf of mexico. Around noon we go hicking through the amazon discovering new animals and tribes of long forgotten, lonely hot wemon, then its back to my house to build a car or paint/sculpt a masterpies, you know just to take a load off. Finally i finish up a 1,000 page thesis i'v been working on about the universe, God, or something of that sourt. Sorry about this being so slapdash and stuff but i dont have enough room to fit everything i normally do everyday

John Riley · 1 year ago

My weekend begins as soon as I get home from classes. Friday night, I go to my pastor's house for worship and fellowship night, because real men need Jesus. Saturday, I awaken in the late morning and begin my full day of practicing trombone. Real male musician play trombone. It just also happens to be the instrument of God. I practice most of my day. In the evening I will hang out with friends that it are harder to see on the weekdays. Sunday, I wake up and watch football before going to church in the afternoon.

Ben Pratt · 1 year ago

My weekends are precious time with my wife and daughters.

Friday is family night, Saturday is Date night.
My kindergartener and I watch a bit of BYU football.
I'm learning to take care of my yard. Progress is slow, but it's kind of fun.
Even when it's packed with church meetings, Sunday is a treasured day of rest from the activities of the other six days of the week!

Taylor B. · 1 year ago

Oh how I do enjoy the weekends. A break from the traffic and sitting for eternity at your desk. During my weekends I like to break free from the daily routine. I either go out backpacking in the Sierra Nevadas or relax with family in the back yard while cooking some roasted corn on the cob and some big juicy steaks. Either way the Hawaiiabera shirt would be the shirt to do it in.

Jim · 1 year ago

I live in Hawaii, and I want that shirt. I spend my weekends sleeping in my hammock, reading, and then planning lessons for the following week of school.

Jason Schreder · 1 year ago

How about a nice workout on Saturday Morning, any business that needs to be taken care of (school work, yard, etc.) then any other essentials like grocery shopping. Then the rest of the weekend is spent relaxing and in enjoyment! College football, Golfing, spending time with my fiancee, going to Mass Sunday Morning, enjoying the outdoors, and maybe a movie one night! Oh, of course a Sunday night treat!

On the weekends, I catch up with my girlfriend, who unfortunately lives nearly an hour away. We still get together a few times during the week, but the weekend is the real highlight. We go out to eat or cook in the home, shop, watch movies, go to events, and just spend hours together doing anything or nothing. I love my weekends!

Weekends are spent Saturdays, preparing for Divine Service (final sermon preparation), and on Sundays, conducting the Divine Service: Word and Sacrament. Since I am a minister of the Gospel, it is not a sin for me to work on Sunday. But Sunday afternoons provide me with my Sabbath-rest. Nice shirt for writing sermons or relaxing in after preaching them. Does he make surplices? (In case I ever go on an island-work/vacation?)

Bat Guano · 1 year ago

Saturday morning is rowing practice - a good hard workout first thing in the morning. Then it's usually breakfast, the farmer's market, home to rest for an hour or so before doing some yardwork or laundry or whatever else needs doing. Out on the town with the girlfriend on Saturday night - dinner, movie, catch a band, just hang out, whatever.

Sunday is relaxed - sleep late, make a big breakfast, hang out with friends, cook, and/or whatever; there's no set routine.

David C. · 1 year ago

My favorite weekend activities:
1. Taking my guns to the shooting range for a couple of hours.
2. Sharpening my knives.
3. Building a bonfire with my brothers.
4. Dropping cans of spray paint in said bonfire.
5. Hiking.
6. Camping.
7. Working on my foxhole radios.

James D · 1 year ago

Mountainbiking, kayaking, hiking and just getting outside. Then trying to get my stories into the adventure blog I am trying to start.

Gary M. · 1 year ago

Weekends are all about my Lord and my family. I have happy dreams about sleeping in, but it seldom happens because the boys and dogs are up and anxious to play.

During the week, my wife handles the evening meals, but on Saturday, it's my time to cook breakfast and then we generally do some work around the house. Saturday evening's are just kicked back time around the television.

Sunday is my day to honor my God and to recharge and remember that I'm among the most blessed of all the people on the earth to live in this amazing country. Growing up here has allowed me the freedom to hear the truth and to worship without fear the finest example of the Art of Manliness ever known.
- Jesus.

God knew what He was doing when He made a day of rest! We hold down the activities and spend time with each other. Even the strongest of men need some time to get centered again and I take advantage of it when I can.

Kent_Geek · 1 year ago

Yard work while listening to audio books is a big part of the weekend.
Friday nights in the fall, I chaperone the high school marching band at football games.

Since I've retired, on Friday -- and on all the other days -- I do exactly what I want. I fish, I read, I nap and I kick back and have a glass of wine.

Stogies and Systematic Theology

I love Sundays.

Ever since I was a teenager, I have looked forward to Sunday every week. Unlike Saturday, Sunday is a day when most people leave me alone. My phone doesn’t ring. I have no meetings to attend. No one is waiting on something for me to send them. And it’s on Sundays that I get to hang out with the guys.

You see, I have eight children ranging from 11 years down to five months. So, I learned early on that if I wanted to stay happily married, I couldn’t steal away every night to the sports bar for a cold beer and a baseball game with my buddies.

But Sundays are different. The whole family piles into our 14-passenger van (after wrestling the kids into their church clothes--ever tried to keep a tie on a three-year-old?), and we drive to church. Now, we go to a Reformed Presbyterian church, so there are none of those emasculated “We are the World” kind of sermons by a pastor of indeterminate sex. We Calvinists like our preaching cooked medium rare with all the juices still there. It makes for a very mentally stimulating hour.

After feeding my mind and spirit, it’s time to feed the belly. All the women at church bring potluck—and it’s always good stuff like southern fried chicken, taco casseroles, homemade chili, beefsteak tomatoes, black-eyed peas and butter beans, cake and ice cream, and sweet tea.

The sanctuary is converted into a big dining room, and everyone fills their plates—women and children first, of course. When the men get their plates, we convene around a big table and start talking about whatever it is we fancy at the moment: the sermon, systematic theology, politics, sports, business, our gun collections, etc.

After Sunday dinner, the day has just begun. I’ll generally take the family over to my friend Tom’s house. My wife and I will put the youngest kids down for their naps and the older kids either grab a book to read or head for the lake in the backyard. I head for the screened-in back porch overlooking the lake. But first, I take a detour to one of the bedrooms and put on my Sunday afternoon uniform: my favorite pair of blue jeans and a Hawaiian shirt that I affectionately call the “Sabbath shirt.”

On the back porch, my friend Tom and I will sit and watch the kids swim in the lake or jump on a trampoline while we mix ice cold gin and tonics. Then I’ll light up a Churchill or Torpedo. We’ll spend a couple hours thus composed enjoying God’s good creation until it’s time to prepare supper.

Supper on Sunday is a very special event. The men cook a big country breakfast, including piles of scrambled eggs, heaps of sausage and bacon, stacks of pancakes, sliced tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms and peppers, and a big pot of grits, salted and buttered to perfection.

By the end of the day, my “Sabbath shirt” smells of tobacco, juniper, and bacon fat. Glorious. It’s all I can do to make myself throw it in the wash. But, alas, after many happy Sabbath suppers, it is time to retire my “Sabbath shirt.” I would love to pass on this distinguished heritage to the Hawaiiabera.

Surfing and hanging with the family.

Paul · 1 year ago

On the weekends its me time. Maybe go to a good old college football game and forget how to feel feelings or, if thats not in the game plan, there is plenty of desert in Nevada and lots of stuff to shoot, from scrawny jack rabbits to high jacked cars left to rot in the sunny high desert. The nights are filled with debauchery and loose moralled women until the wee hours of the morning. Sunday is family day. Football, drinks, and a lot of shenanigans. Nothing says fun like a bunch of rugby players drinking away their hang overs. God I love Reno. It's like a beautiful Hawaiian island minus the beauty and the nice weather. But we've got plenty of Hawaiians. Thats a weekend in Reno, in a nutshell, a very drunk nutshell

Michael · 1 year ago

Weekends for me are every bit as busy as the week, although a lot more enjoyable. I'm currently in school for animation, and I have my animation class on saturday from 8:30 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon. After that, I head straight over to the girlfriend's house. Lately we've simply been relaxing together before going to dinner, but every once in awhile we go for an adventure (like hiking, or an afternoon trip somewhere). Since my birthday is coming up, I think a trip to Trader Vic's is in the works.

Sunday is another busy day, as I have work from 12 to 5 (I know it's supposed to be a day of rest, but when you're young and in school, you sometimes have to bend the rules a little), and then it's on to Church. I meet my girlfriend there, and then we spend the rest of the evening together until it's time for her to go home.

I should mention that I'm dating the most amazing woman that I've ever met. She has no problem with me being the leader in the relationship, in fact she really enjoys it when I take the lead. She and I have a number of common interests (such as art, animation, and of course we're both Catholic), but on things were we differ, she has no problem with it. She doesn't mind one bit that I'll go out to see a Western with some buddies, in fact, she encourages it. And she actually likes the fact that I'm not "metro," she actually calls me a "retrosexual," because I like being chivalrous and manly. And, of course, wouldn't you know? She just happens to be a very feminine womans' woman. She knows it and she loves it. Pretty cool, huh?

Brian Headrick · 1 year ago

I usually spend them camping and hiking the appalachian trail with my dog. He has to spend his whole week in the city and I don't want him losing the little bit of wild animal he has in him. Same for me. All the football games of any importance get DVRed and watched in their entirety on Mondays since I work from home two days a week.

Roll Tide!!

The weekend is a time that doesn't hold quite the same concrete meaning for college students such as me as it does for many men out there. My traditional Fri-Sun weekend, however, usually consists of going out to a bar Friday night, then coming back home with my roommate. The next morning--which starts about 2:00 PM--is spent preparing for that evening, and cleaning from the night before. Preparing the grill, making my house presentable in case any girls are coming over, and sorting through any receipts from the night before, often with full commentary (Jon, why did I spend $38 last night? I thought you bought last night...did you steal my wallet?). Sunday is a day of more cleaning, more relaxing, meditation, and preparing my vocal cords to cheer for the Dallas game. Such is a weekend, and such is life.

I love to golf on the weekends. It gives me an excuse to wake up early and not sleep the day away. Plus, it is a great time with friends. It really gives me something to look forward to through the work week!

Weekends are for smoking some meat, having friends bring the sides, trying to drink all the beer in the kegerator and then recovering while watching football

Joe · 1 year ago

I begin my weekends Saturday mornings working around the house and yard, then try to relax in the afternoon either attending local outdoor festivals, visiting friends, watching college football, or cooking for friends in the evening.

Sundays are reserved for church and family.

My wife works weekends so that means it's all about me an my 2 year old son. We start the morning with a good sized Pancake Breakfast. Then it's story time...so a couple of books get read. Usually we'll head into town to pick up sundries, then it's back home for a nap. I try and prepare a nice dinner for the other half. Eventually the boy goes to bed and the wife and I spend the rest of the night setting the world to right.

As a pastor, I spend Saturday preaching, visiting, and occasionally spending time with my family. Sunday often has church work bees or socials or board meetings or young adult meetings... If I happen to have some time off on Sunday, I'll often watch football, or try to get some chores done around the house. I try to take another day each week off to spend time with my family going to the beach or just hanging out.

wordsmythe · 1 year ago

I play video games, read, catch up on RSS feeds, and maybe work on a blog entry on weekends if I can, but there's almost always other demands on my time (social and family obligations, laundry, errands). Sunday is split between church and football.

I guess I spend most of my weekend wondering when I'll finally get a real weekend.

Remodeling for the last 20 years. It's my form of zen meditation...

Phil · 1 year ago

I'm finishing up a remodel of my home office, which has taken up a lot of the past several weekends. On Saturday I also read some and if I'm not procrastinating, catch up on homework. Sunday is church and relaxation.

Kent · 1 year ago

Friday - date night with the love of my life for the last 29 years

Saturday - Honey do's. And maybe some college football on the tube. And a big plus if I fire up the BBQ and grill something.

Sunday - My church day. Give back to the One who gave me all.

Saturdays are consumed with chores and projects (and an occasional round of golf). Sundays are for church and family get togethers. I play ukulele too, so as mentioned in other posts, I hope this influences the gods of randomness. This shirt would look great backing up my uke! (Get it? Backing up my...at least that's better than couch surfing. Sheesh!)

Mike Strehlow · 1 year ago

I agree with Bill S. If Jack doesn't win a shirt give him mine. Or Bill's!

Dustin V · 1 year ago

I spend several hours in Graduate work for my masters. Saturday's usually involve a project around the house, a football game, and Texas hold'em. Most of my Sunday is spent at church and preparing for another week.

Timothy K. · 1 year ago

On Saturdays, I start my day at my job at the library. From there depending on how many homework assignments/tests I have coming up, I either study or just relax.

Relaxing typically consists of either reading, listening to music, riding my bike around town, or hanging out with friends.

Sundays are the same as Saturdays except replace work with church.

Michael Sheehan · 1 year ago

My weekend usually consists of a hike of 5 miles or so in the Angeles National Forest, some football and a little Pinot Noir and a fine cigar. What more could you ask for except one of the suave and comfortable old school shirts?

James Cowgill · 1 year ago

My favoite Sunday activity is to get up, put on one of my favorite Hawaiiabera, turn on some Buffet, make up a couple of Mamosa's for me and my special girl and hang by the spot my Motor Coach is parked this week! Today its the beaches of North Carolina, AWSOME!!!!!

Mysty Cowgill · 1 year ago

A typical weekend for me includes spending time with my family. Mainly to the park to play and at night with the winter nights coming we will be watching our favorite hockey team the Rockford IceHogs. Sundays consist of kicking back eating good food and watching football. Not to mention making time to call friends and family to keep up with the latest.

Hunni Sapero · 1 year ago

My typical weekend?.....I'm always thinking of what I need to do....grateful for my kids and their children, and darned pleased with all of them! I spend a lot of time thinking of projects that I want to get done.....and I'm enjoying some television lately.

I have lived in the U.S.V.I. and Hawaii.....and LOVE to see a man in the manly Hawaiiabera shirt! I have looked for them in Arizona......and am so happy to have found this site.....and will happily accept a coupon from you to purchase one or more.

jennifer sapero · 1 year ago

My favorite thing to do on Sunday is Hang with Friends! We get together to watch football...do some "day drinking" and just relax. We usually make it our night to go out for some really yummy mexican food too!

Dave · 1 year ago

I usually spend my weekends doing the laundry and cleaning up the house. Then saturday is the assigned day for an evening in to town with my friends.

Joel · 1 year ago

I wake up early to get a fresh start on the day. Then I eat breakfast and fall asleep for a couple more hours. After waking for the second time I think about all the work I should be doing while I am actually playing guitar or reading. Come Sunday night I either get all my work done or go to sleep early enough so I can do it when I wake up in the morning before class.

Nate · 1 year ago

Saturday - Cleaning up around the house

Sunday - Going to church, studying the Bible

My weekends vary.

Assuming there is nothing spectacular going on, an average weekend would consist of waking up around 7 AM, then going to rowing practice for a few hours.
Then come home by the afternoon (perhaps breakfast with my crew?) and do either homework, or just play video games on the computer. After dinner I often go out with friends either to parties, shows, whatever happens to catch our eye.

On race weekends, however, wake up 3 hours before my race. Eat eggs, toast, drink some apple juice, and head down to the race course (assuming we're racing at the Henley, if it's somewhere I have to drive to, then I'm waking up earlier). Relax for a bit, stretch, go through pre-race activities.

Go out on the course with my crew and just row my heart out, do the best that we can do (which is often VERY well).

Get off the water, talk with crew/coaches, eat an apple, discuss what we're doing later. Go home, shower, potentially eat. Go out with my crew and celebrate :)



If you can't tell, I'm a rower :)

The wife and I enjoy walking on the beach Saturdays and/or Sunday. It is a perfect to decompress from the stresses of the past work week. It also gives us lots of time to communicate.

What always amazes me is we intend to spend an hour walking but usually spend at 2-3 hours. Nothing like leaving the stress of modern life behind.

Greg · 1 year ago

What do I do on the weekends? Anything but work, if I can help it! I especially enjoy taking some time to get outside and go geocaching with my wife.

Rob · 1 year ago

Weekends are for catching up. Preferably fishing or hunting when in season. Other wise horse back riding and hopefully on Sunday watching a NASCAR race and /or a football game or 2 and of course maybe having a gathering of friends over for maybe a bon fire and cook out. Then of course there are always chores to attend to.....lawn to be mowed and so on......

Allen Petit · 1 year ago

The weekend is the only time of the week where I usually don't have anything scheduled or planned. My week is usually jammed pack so it's nice just to relax. I usually go out to dinner and try to cook something new on sunday nights.

Typically my weekends are busy with chauffering my teenage daughters around town and fulfilling my ministry duties and preparations. However this weekend my daughters were attending a youth conference in Ranch Cucamonga and my wife, who usually works weekends, had the weekend off, so she and I went to dinner friday night, sleeped in late Saturday morning, went to the movies (FireProof - fantastic film, good message) then went to the beach and enjoyed a warming bonfire. It was the first real alone time we've had for several months (we work opposing shifts and days off). The only thing that would have made a great weekend PERFECT would have been if I was wearing one of these the gorgeous Hawaiiaberas (XXL) with my new Cuban Chancletas that I picked up this summer on my missionary trip to Sancti Spirutus, Cuba. Keep Surfing da Couch!!!! Who knows maybe it will catch on and become an Olympic Sport. LOL Hang Loose and Go fo' Broke braddah!

Jim · 1 year ago

Weekends up here in Alaska are for watching the Russians (which we can see from our back yard), catching up on yardwork - except when it snows, like today, breakfast football (4 hour time zone difference sometimes lets us watch a little football while we eat our Wheaties) or catching a great concert like we did with the Duhks last night.

Recently a lot of time has been spent at church on repair and painting projects. First Saturdays is men's group time where we have breakfast (eggs, potatoes and moose sausage) and then on to the fixit list.

Brian Felkel · 1 year ago

I am an assistant football coach for 12-15 year old boys, so I spend the weekends at football games. I also attend my other son's soccer games. If I get home in time, I spend the rest of the day watching college or pro football.

Michael · 1 year ago

O the weekends I catch up on the home repairs and teaching my boys the things I know. They're so busy during the week with school, marching band, sports practices and other activities that we usually see each other in passing. I reserve the weekends for them to make sure we're still connected in a very significant way.

David Michael Phelps · 1 year ago

The weekend in our house is Satur-daddy-day (this amounts to a fair amount of wrestling, giving mom a few hours of silent house, etc.) and a quiet Sunday (with Mass and pre-school catechism -- and, of course, watching football with the boy where we still define the 'good guys' by color of jersey).

Bobber · 1 year ago

These days I've been pruning my mustache, in an unsuccessful attempt to downplay my ruggedness. I also enjoy bowling, but only because there are no lions or bears to wrestle in the vicinity. In the evenings I drink and converse with the locals, so as to learn better the language and the culture, while my food of choice is anything meaty and extra spicy. I can usually find time to read on the weekends. As of late I've been interested in survival stories, such as that of Capt. Ernest Shackleton and his crew of 27, left to fend for themselves on the Antarctic seas for 22 months after their ship was crushed by ice. If I have enough manergy left at the end of the weekend, I like to watch violent movies full of bloodshed and mayhem.

Weekends are about the family. My wife and I adopted two boys from Ukraine 3 years ago and they keep the weekends busy. The boys are now 8 & 12 and both are active in sports thru the year and Scouting.

Both the sports & especially the Scouting are ways to help develop them into decent men. The weekends are for going to their games/practices, camping, hiking, working in the yard and keeping very active.

As the dad, I like to kick back a little bit and a fine shirt like that would be very fitting at our cookouts/bonfires at the house. Or even just lounging in the hammock reading a book.

Love the website.

My weekend is the catch-all to my week. If I have extra work, it filters out and gets cleaned up during the weekend. More often than not though, my weekend catches all the socializing I missed out during the week, which means I'll go out with friends, see a movie, or go bowling.

My weekend always catches sleep.

Jason Fox · 1 year ago

The weekend for is me to catch up with my wife after a hard week at work for the both of us. After sleeping in a little bit, we make sure to spend some time together and then catch up with friends in between doing any shopping or errands we may need to complete.

One of my favorite things to do one weekend a month is to invite our friends to come over with their favorite side dish, and then fire up the grill with a large roast of beef or pork. Family, friends, good food, laughter and lively discussion... what better way to recharge?
