The emergence of a new trend in 2008 has already made itself evident in North
America and other nations across the globe. All over, fellow citizens are re-adopting
the once nearly lost tradition of Power Thursday. This ancient tradition has become
such a craze that nearly everyone is touched in some way by it’s power. Even sports
teams have found their once loyal fans cheering harder for the fact that it’s Thursday
than for a touchdown for their hometeam!

What is Power Thursday?
For many of us embedded in the rigorously
routine schedule of the 5 day work week,
Thursday has long been the unsung hero of
the weekdays. Overshadowed by
T.G.I.Fridays, Hump Wednesdays, and
peoples general hatred for Mondays and
Tuesdays, Thursdays have maintained this
underdog status for too long. To rebuild
appreciation and awareness of this most
excellent almost-the-end-of-the-weekday,
the Power Thursday high council has
re-instituted the ancient, sacred, and nearly
lost tradition of Power Thursdays. Once
celebrated worldwide across a spectrum of
cultures, Power Thursday has evolved to
embody the final surge of sheer power
needed to push one's spirit through to the
weekend.

This week’s image was selected because of the artistic way it catalyzes a
diverse series of powerful emotions. A surface glance conveys humor as
one laughs at the funny image of a pudgy clown playing jump rope with link
sausages. But upon closer examination, one realizes that this clown
actually appears sad and is perhaps being teased by a cruel ringmaster
who is forcing her to ruin otherwise perfectly edible sausages (her meat
product of choice.) The makes you feel guilty for having thought it was
funny but then you realize that this clown is actually performing in a park so
they probably aren’t affiliated with any malevolantl 3 ring circus
organizations but more likely for the city’s parks and recreation
department. This irony inflicts a satisfied feeling of humor and a sense of
closure. Clearly the artist is trying to illustrate how humor has the power to
entertain, heal and facilitate self awareness. Wow.

| Today (1.31.2008): When he told the people of the village that he was going to build a city of eggs, they all laughed and scoffed at him. But the next Thursday morning, when the first rays of the morning sun revealed the mountainside that overlooked their village, they were shocked and amazed to see that where there was once bare rock, there now stood a glorious city of eggs. If he could build an entire city of eggs, just imagine what we can do with with our modern technology!!! |
As the tradition of Power Thursday carries on, we must strive to maintain the
purity of tradition which keeps the Power flowing strong like a mighty river.
Beyond the obscurity of symbolism there lies a true power for us all to
embrace. A power free of dogma and rhetoric. With that said, let us all Bend
the Bar with our spirits and propel our souls into the weekend knowing that that
yet another accomplished Power Thursday is behind us.

Feel the Love.
If ever you find yourself thinking – “man, is Power Thursday ever intense…”
just remember that it isn’t as intense as it used to be back in the day of
mythical monsters and magical woodland creatures when one might typically
have to do battle with a nazgul or a three headed lion bird lizard thing or
whatever…

Due to a recent series of complaints regarding a lack of depth or metaphor
in the traditional weekly Power Thursday motivational caption, the Power
Thursday High Council has put in place a person in charge of handling such
issues. So moving forward, if you’ve got a problem, you’re more than
welcome to take it up with him…if you dare.

May the Power of Thursday be the unseen hand that guides yon ball to strike
down the pins. And may previous days of the week be like the first pins with
which thy ball connects and that helps knock down the other pins with which the
ball doesn’t connect. And may all these pins collide and fall and be swept away
by the metaphorical giant mechanical thing at the end of the alley that is our
weekdays.

That special time has done come upon us once again so let’s all put the

As we all know, the greatest innovations and evolutions would have never taken
place without a courageous and powerful vault into the future. Much in the
same way, we must power through each and every Thursday yet to come with
the faith that if we strive to actualize the pure embodiment of Power Thursday
then Friday will be upon us once again leading us into the bountiful fruits of the
weekend.

While barreling through the vast expanse of the weekdays, Power Thursday is a
perfect moment to take the highest vantage point and scope out the Oasis of
the weekend...fear not...it isn't a mirage.

Visualize yourself last night as you were going to bed…but instead of laying down in your
bed (or on your buddy’s couch or whatever), you lowered yourself into a giant cannon.
This cannon fired this morning when you awoke with the explosive / raw / gunpowder-like
energy of Power Thursday. Once you have propelled through this day, you will only have
the metaphorical force of gravity which will bring you to the cradling net of the weekend.

Only a couple more swords to swallow until the weekend...
It's Power Thursday...Rack em' and sink them all.
Think of it like this people…
The more you can cram and stuff and pack and jam into today, the less you will have to jam and pack and
stuff and cram into tomorrow…thus making your ride to the oasis of the weekend much smoother.

No longer are we encased and surrounded by weekdays. Most of them are behind
us now and the light at the end grows nearer and brighter. Let us power through
this routine shell and onto the true meaning of our existence as we know it … the
weekend!

The chain reaction of weekdays has finally culminated to now. At last we have
reached critical mass and with the ignition one last explosive burst of POWER, we
may kindle the glorious flame of the weekend!

In response to the outcries of dismay from the lack of a fresh Power Thursday inspirational I
would like to clarify that Power Thursday goes on (as it has for centuries) with or without a
caption. Such a sacred energy could not possibly be truly and wholly embodied in any form
(physical or digital) so let us not get caught up in the icon lest we may wander from the true
path of power that will lead us into the glory of the weekend. Go deep people…yet not so
deep that we bury our heads and lose touch with the true meaning of this joyous day of the
week.

Today (9.4.2008): The time has come once again to tap and unleash our inner Power
to guide us through these final motions of the week and on into the blissful fountain of
the weekend. Feel it emanate from the core of your very soul as it guides your fingers
across keyboard, pounding out the final transmissions of information that you will be
obligated to contribute for this week. Soon we can let our spirits fly free!!
