weekend/s

I read the newspaper on the weekend/on weekends.

Do both phrases carry the meaning of reading the newspaper on weekends, not necessary on every weekend without exception, but whenever I read the newspaper, it is a weekend? Thanks for your help.

I was born on a Friday. (1)

The day I was born was a Friday.

I go shopping on a Tuesday. (2)Does this sentence mean going shopping on every Tuesday without exception or when I go shopping, it is always a Tuesday?

Why does "a Friday" in (1) mean one Friday while in (2) "a Tuesday" mean many Tuesdays or every Tuesday?
