Black Friday 2019?

Russell Crowe auctions Souths
hat to raise money for fireys

To me Black Friday used to mean the day when a Friday fell on a 13th in any month, but now it seems to be used for a Friday in November every year to buy more sh!t that we probably don't need anyway.

Maybe it would be good to declare that day as Gratitude Day, as well, where we take time to reflect on the things that we already have in our lives and that we are grateful for?

It's probably more just a case of synchromysticism than planning on Russell Crowe's part, but I think that black rabbit on a white hat is a very symbolic image when it comes to the perils facing our future.
The rabbit is an introduced species that is causing a lot of environmental damage to the continent of Australia, and while Russ' cap is a South Sydney Rabbitohs Rugby League hat, that black rabbit on a soot covered white hat is a very good visual metaphor for the future we are heading for, and not just in Australia.
Corporate and individual greed is destroying our way of life, and we are heading down a very dark rabbit hole in the near future if we don't pull our heads out of the sand.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have a white rabbit as their default avatar, which to me is even more ironic considering that the 1999 movie 'The Matrix' was filmed mainly in Sydney and that the Rabbitohs were booted out of the NRL competition in 1999 and didn't get reinstated until 2002.

Pi Day 2020?!

I'm not a Rabbitohs supporter, I'm a Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks member, so I find it rather ironic that in round 1 of the 2020 NRL season my team play Russ' team on Pi Day (3/14: March 14th), the date Stephen Hawking passed away on and which also happens to be Einstein's birthday.
Stephen Hawking's Final Theory: The Universe is a Hologram?

Looks like I've gone down another rabbit hole myself here with this post, but I'm starting to think that Stephen Hawking's final theory about the universe being a hologram was a pretty good theory.
Who knows what the future holds I guess, it's not as if we can see into it, is it?-)
Remote Viewing: An Ingo Swann Event?

Oh, and apart from dying on Pi Day, Stephen Hawking also shared January 8th as a birthday with Elvis and David Bowie:-)

I guess you can either put on the red shoes and dance the blues, or put on the blue suede shoes and keep dreaming:-)
Thank you very much, and happy Gratitude Day Black Friday.
Smoke causes frenzy of calls from Canberra residents

Quite an eerie sight seeing Black Mountain in the Australian capital city of Canberra covered in smoke on Black Friday.

Student climate change protesters take to
the the streets across the country

Ironically, Canberra is in the Australian Capital Territory, which is often just referred to as ACT.

I also find it ironic that the ACT flag and coat of arms has a black and a white swan on them.

Black Swan Events?

Update: Not long after I had put this post up, the Sharks sent me an e-mail to tell me of their Black Friday sale:-)
