Every May 8th

Every May 8th

I grabbed some cupcakes on the way home from work today realizing that it was 'National Give Someone a Cupcake Day' and 'Reward Yourself Day', not to mention Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday today, as well.

What a rewarding day all round it seems today?

It's also lead singer of 'Savage Garden' Darren Hayes' birthday today.

It's also 'May8Day' ... as in Mate Day:-)

I bought some Foster's beer to celebrate today being May8Day, but this beer is not a popular beer in Australia.

Mates Day (May 8)

Guinness is probably more popular than Fosters in Australia, but obviously nowhere near the big Aussie beer brands, though.

DON'T BE PREY: Sink or Swim?🏊🦈

Don't Be Prey (2026)

I went to the cinema and saw a preview screening of 'Don't Be Prey' last night.

The movie focuses on a few long-distance ocean swimmers, particularly Mark Sowerby, former CEO of a company called 'Blue Sky' that went under in the late 2010s.

I knew nothing about Mark until I saw the movie, even though the guy is from my hometown of Brisbane and lived down the freeway at the Gold Coast.

"Across five continents and seven ocean channels, one man confronts fear, uncertainty, and trauma in a fight to reclaim his life."

Don't Be Prey (2026)

I admire people like Mark, who pretty much are betting their life that they can make it to their planned destination without having a heart attack, or be attacked.
But you wouldn't get me swimming 100 metres in the ocean, never mind 42km.

As I've written on this blog before, I don't see the point in risking my life if I don't have to, just for having a bit of "fun" in the water.

The Lady in White and UFOs?👽🛸🎨🎭

I thought it was interesting that the latest 'Neon Galactic' podcast episode dropped on May 5th on my Apple podcast list (Australian time anyway) and the Met Gala took place on May 4th with Heidi Klum dressed as a "White Lady":-)

So, I guess this latest 'Neon Galactic' podcast episode dropped on May 4th, 2026 in the USA?
