As the weekend approaches, signaling our one day off a week (yes, just one), it’s shaping up to be another one of those “messy” nights. And no, I’m not talking about untidy rooms or complicated political situations (though those could also apply). I’m talking about the kind of messy that involves a lot of vodka and a complete lack of memory the next day. You know, the kind of messy that’s best explained by the photos you find on your phone.
Now, for my American friends who might not be familiar with the term, let’s break down the essence of “messy”:
- Characterized by a dirty, untidy, or disordered condition: Picture a room after a party – empty bottles everywhere, music still blaring, and a mysterious stain on the carpet that wasn’t there before. That’s messy.
- Causing a mess: Think of a recipe that requires every pot and pan in your kitchen, plus a few you didn’t know you had. That’s messy cooking. Or in our case, a messy night out.
- Embarrassing, difficult, or unpleasant: Imagine trying to explain to your boss why you’re late for work, smelling like a distillery, and missing one shoe. That’s a messy situation.
- Characterized by moral or psychological confusion: Ever woken up after a night out and wondered, “Why did I think it was a good idea to dance on that table?” Yeah, that’s messy decision-making.
- A drunken night where only the photos tell the real story because you can’t remember it: Need I say more? We’ve all been there, scrolling through our camera roll, piecing together the events of the night before like detectives solving a case.
So, as the weekend approaches and another messy night looms on the horizon, I say, embrace the messiness! Life’s too short to worry about a little chaos. And for those who can’t join us in Doha, don’t worry – I’ll raise a glass (or several) for you. Here’s to messy nights and the stories we’ll laugh about later (or not at all, depending on how embarrassing those photos turn out to be)!
