Thank you to artist extraordinaire @deirdyweirdy for the post image artwork above; I put out the call and you responded, like I figured you would. I appreciate the effort, thanks for taking the time and being awesome. (I don't know how you managed to make the likeness of this stick figure look exactly like me.)
Another weekend has arrived which means another opportunity for you to engage with your life without the daily grind of a job getting in the way...unless you have to work this weekend which would fucken suck!
We're well into the sixth year of the weekend-engagement topic concept and it's really cool to see a few people come back every week and join in. If you'd like to get involved with the #weekend-engagement topics as hosted in the WEEKEND EXPERIENCES community then read below, and I hope you all have a great weekend.

What's the biggest fear you have for your personal/family's future and how are you planning to work around it or address it? List the points and explain them.
Are you a fucken idiot? If you are, explain why in a post.

Fame at last!
Oh the glory of it.
You'll not be able to walk the streets without some pushy asshole asking for a picture with you. They'll be snooping through your garbage, popping up out of the bushes to sneak photos and catching you in candid moments on dates with your many gentleman friends.
Don't worry. I'm prepared. I've already started growing a beard so I'll be going incognito.
Will you change your name to deirdyweirdybeardy now?? ahahahaha
Very funny! But I think you'll find there's already a Wit in Residence on Hive...ME!
You'll be able to go to Tesco without any worries now!
Tesco? Meh...I buy Irish!
Well I don't know any Irish ones so I'll make one up...Leprechauns.
Very close...Dunnes!
I knew that was your drawing when I first saw it. At least I was guessing that was your work...I do love your drawings.
Can I have your autograph??
Oh my goodness. I really am famous! I'm gonna have to charge for the autograph.
I'll pay whatever!!
Hahaha, I'll be rich beyond my wildest dreams.
I see talent when I know it! Shame on you though for having that turned into what is possibly the funniest challenge I've ever participated in. Why even bother to come up with a serious topic when you can have that!
Oh ho! Good topics for this weekend. I am partial to stick figures so can't wait to see what folks come up with! Welcome to the weekend, I know you'll make it a good one
It's sure to be a good one, well I'll work towards making it so anyway. Hopefully you've going something on the horizon for the weekend too. Enjoy!
Well I am just planning to work outside doing some things that desperately need doing lol...chores, but I enjoy them anyway :)
I just got back from running and gunning at the range, packed the equipment away and changed and now am at a cafe for lunch and some writing...noise cancelling ear buds in with country music playing, grilled chicken salad, coffee and Coke no sugar. I'm set for the afternoon.
Enjoy the chores.
Sounds good...I have puttered in the garden, played with my chickens and am now watching the motocross races. The evening is unplanned. It's been good!.
Unplanned evenings often work the best, leaves it open to all sorts of adventures, or nothing much at all.
It really does seem like you're deep in thought and planning your weekend... that's what I think, anyway!
I'll be here, no doubt about it!
That's a great line. In this society, there are a lot of people who are... sleeping, missing out on life and doing nothing.
Have a great weekend!
I'm looking forward to a good weekend and I hope you have the same, in your own way of course.
Last weekend was great, and I think this one will be too! Thank you!
My first glance was panicked. I thought why and what could make my dear friend @galenkp stab himself in the face with a letter opener.!?!
No!🤣 He has a pencil in his hand, he puts it to his mouth, as if thinking... what topics should I write about for the weekend, or rather, he thinks... what will be the next chapter of my book?...
Well your "Normal" and not stuck in a perpetual survival mode like I am...
Being Me can be exhausting.
Do NOT 🚫 Try to be Me!!
I won't do it!!! Still, a letter opener is useful for self-defence, I'll keep that in mind!🤣
Let's go with another week full of adrenaline with these suggestions full of great creativity. Happy Friday and weekend!
Happy weekend to you, have a good one.
These is actually a good one for the weekend but then it would be so sad that i might not be able to go for the one with the higher votes simply because i don't have the right materials to get it done over here in school. I think i would go for the last one.
Hmm, ok well choose the one you think is most suited I guess.
Have a good weekend.
Have a good weekend to galen.
I am not too worried about my own health(I should worry about it more probably). Still I would like to lose a few kg. But I worry about my mother's health because she is getting older. And she needs to lose way more kg than me. So for a while at least I stopped buying cakes and fruit juices(it seems that they also have a lot of sugar) and now buy more fruits and berries.
Fruit juice has one of the highest sugar contents out there, yummy, but only good in small amounts. And cakes? I fucken love cakes. I hardly ever eat them though, or anything with sugar in it really.
I have to look for wooden crayons or markers. I already have a picture in my head, and it will probably turn out desperate (like a Picasso 😀), but it's important to participate.
Yep, good work. I mean, you could always draw using your own blood but I think that's probably not the best course of action.
Also, how many people do you think will do topic 3?
Several times I thought to myself that I was an idiot, someone even told me that, but no one ever called me a fucking idiot, nor do I think that my idiocy ever reached that level.
So I'll skip that topic.
We'll see if there's anyone here who screwed up so much that they're ready to admit it. Probably no one, or a very small number 🙂
Hahaha I want to see if someone picks the topic 3 😂... A stick figure you say? I'm so bad at draw, like a kid, but I guess I could do a stick figure?
That stick by @deirdyweirdy came out pretty good expecially the expression
Yes, it is quite brilliant, isn't it...even if I do say so myself;)
Things combine, you know... I have to be smart and calm and collected and all-around a pillar of society all week - so the likelihood of my drawing myself being a inconceivable (still working on not using swear-words) idiot is not that low.
She did a good job on the drawing and I knew she would which is why I asked her to draw it for this week's topic post.
I wonder if anyone will do topic 3.
You're zygomaticus major is SO going to regret this, so will your obliques (PT parents 🤣). What a great idea! I have a wall of drawings from my almost-7-year-old, mixed with my drawings, and you can only tell the difference by the coherence of perspective of depth. For now, she's getting better at that, too. Soon, she'll surpass me. But this, now, is my moment to become Legend.
My zygomaticus muscle is well developed and I like to use it now and then, seems the right thing to do.
This is your moment to shine, to do your worst drawing, or your best, and be rewarded for it by me and also simply through getting involved and having fun.
One would have to be a Fucken idiot to not do #1.
One Stick Figure of Me it will be.!
But not right now...
I am at one of our fave little bistros. The Gathering in Live Oak FLA. Stopped for one of the best Chikum Sammiches in the world. Grilled Monteray Jack with Bacon Blackened. 🧆
Monteray jack is bloody awesome, melts well. Now I want some. We have it here and also one called Aussie Jack which is almost the same, just spelled differently. Lol.
Nomnomnom...
Hi, friends. Happy sunday.What a good quote give us @galenkp! While we sleep the great men (and women) work, they strive to reach their goals.
Hello there, thanks for your comment and have a good weekend.
Thank you. I hope you have had a good weekend too.
Indeed I did.
Three themes, three different ways to address important aspects of life, but, the biggest challenge for me would be in theme 1 because I have no drawing skills, but I find it a very good challenge to address. Actually, it is difficult, but, I will try to participate and, even if it doesn't look good, I will try to enjoy myself in the process. Happy weekend. Cheers and best regards.
It's not about drawing skills, it's about personality and effort.
It's nice to be back. What a great prompt for the weekend. Looking forward to reading lots of interesting posts from great writers here.
For sure.
Greetings everyone. Mr. @galenkp, I'd like to ask you a question: Why, if topic 1 is created, will it get voted on more than the others?
Excuse me, but that very note got me curious.
Because I will vote more on that topic than other topics which will earn lesser vote percentage from me.
In as much as I would have loved to pick the topic 3 🙈, I don't think I would wanna do away with the stick drawing topic 1😎
Ok.
The first topic must be hand drawn right? On paper?
Is this a joke question?
I am looking at the image on the post here , which is why I wanted to be sure.
I'm sorry if it annoyed you

Greetings @galenkp
I was prepared for another type of reflection, this one has been good...
✅
Usually, behind great achievements there are great sacrifices and pains.
Already looking forward to next week's suggestions. Thank you for this dynamic that keeps us active on the platform.
