My Favorite!!! -- Hour of the Day (Be warned, this is a positive post! No anger!)

I’ve been so negative in many of my posts so far, that I decided to put a more positive spin on my posts for the rest of the week! You guys are so lucky.

Well, first things first, my favorite hour of the day… Yes, you read correctly, my favorite hour of the day. This can be tricky, but if you think about it, it isn’t that hard to determine what your favorite hour is. Let’s look at how I came to a conclusion.

I work 5 days, Monday through Friday, in which I wake up around 7:00am and work ‘hard’ until 5:00pm. So, automatically those hours are eliminated. As are the hours I am usually sleep during the normal weekday, which is 12:00am to 7:00am. That leaves us with the 6:00pm to 11:00pm.

6:00pm – the six o’clock hours is decent, but you come home from work, may be tired and need to rush some errands, possibly, before it is too late. That means, at 6:00, you are probably in a mad dash, and if you’re not, you’re probably tired. Some people may go to the gym at this time, but I cannot say that is makes it a good hour. I, personally, do not go to the gym most days at this time, because I am tired and need some energy before I move my ass.

7:00pm – You have all the magazine shows on TV, which could be good, as well as Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. However, it is a runner up to the 8:00 hour, which means you’re probably making dinner to relax and watch your 8:00 show.

8:00pm – I am at the gym at this time, 95% of the time. Not my choice for best hour.

9:00pm – Probably still at the gym, but if not, there is nothing on TV at 9, and I am waiting for the 10:00 news to start to see if anything has blown up.

10:00pm – Yeah, news is on, but only on FOX. Next.

11:00pm – That leaves 11:00pm. My choice for best hour. Here’s why: I love the news, first of all. The news is great. You never get an 11:00 repeat of the news, never. That is money. Second, the choices at 11:00 for entertainment at plentiful. You have The Daily Show, Howard Stern, Seinfeld, Curb your Enthusiasm, and probably some random crap on MTV. You got everything you can ever want at 11:00pm, and that is just the weekday. On the weekends, you’ll be at the bar and know that you still have 3 hours to mack it with the ladies. At midnight, time is dwindling down, but at 11:00pm, you have three full hours. You see, at 11:00 you have until the last second before 2:00am, or three hours. But for some reason, at 12:00am, you have only until 1:30am, for some reason. You close the bar earlier in your mind, which handicaps you. I don’t know why, you just do. Trust me, you have been at a bar and went through this:

11:00pm “I got three hours to get a girl. Money.”
12:00am “Damn, no lady yet. But I got 90 minutes, because I need to have that girl by 1:30”


You still needed the girl by 1:30am at 11:00pm, but it never crossed your mind. At 11:00pm you were relaxed, comfortable. At midnight, you’re getting too anxious and antsy. 11:00pm is key.
