What Dope Placed Weedless Wednesday on a Saturday?🚬🚭🤣

Saturday February 21st, 2026

"Weedless Wednesday is a special day encouraging smokers to take a break from cannabis for 24 hours.
This event, part of National Non-Smoking Week, aims to boost awareness about the health risks linked to the use of marijuana.
It’s a chance for smokers and other marijuana users to experience the immediate benefits of quitting, even if it’s just for a day. This brief pause can kickstart longer-term efforts to quit entirely."

I just finished ready Schapelle Corby's autobiography.

She's the woman convicted for being found with 4.2 kilos of marijuana in her boogie board bag at the Bali airport. 

I picked the book up at an Op Shop earlier this year only because I remembered my sister saying that her daughter (my niece) used to cut her hair (or Schapelle used to get her hair cut where she cut hair) when Schapelle returned to Australia, so I thought maybe my sister might want to read it.

But I decided to read it before I would give her the book (which will be tomorrow when I see her for her belated birthday party get together ... not that the book is her birthday present though:-), because I just always assumed Schapelle did it, or took the blame for a family member, with all the rumours swirling around in the media and public opinion at the time.

The Case of Schapelle Corby

BIG TALK:
Did Schapelle Corby Do It?
PART TWO

After reading her book and listening to current podcasts about her, I still don't know if she was guilty or not, but there are so many bad players mentioned in this book in hindsight that it reminds me of the movie 'Rashomon' that I watched recently, where you don't know whose story to believe.

Rashômon (1950)

There are people like criminologist Paul Wilson who was called to give his view on Schapelle's innocence and who would later be jailed on an historic pedophile charge.

From 'Schapelle Corby: My Story'

I've never met Paul Wilson, but I did know a guy who he wrote a book about on a murder charge that sentenced a man to life in prison on DNA evidence alone.

Speaking About Fishy Things and Librarians

From 'Schapelle Corby: My Story'

Then there is Andrew O'Keefe who is now a media "soap opera" story himself and who would later be jailed for being off his face on illegal drugs and domestic violence charges.

And Schapelle's half-brother, who did her no favours for later on getting caught busting into a drug dealer's house and stealing money and cannabis. 

Schapelle Corby's Brother with John Kisina

So, you don't know who to believe when you read this book and listen to the latest podcasts.

There are 'Rashomon' stories all round in the Schapelle Corby case, from cops, airport custom officers, prison guards, media personalities, journalists, friends of the Corby's ... and the Corby's themselves.

The book is worth a read no matter if you think Schapelle's story is true or not.

Happy Weedless Wednesday for this Saturday in 2026:-)

Are You Ignoring Your Higher Self?🤔💭👼

I found the above podcast episode last night before going to sleep when I did an Apple Podcast search for "Synchronicities".

I fell asleep while listening to it but watched the above You Tube of it when I woke up this morning.

Mayim Bialik's Breakdown Podcast

The podcast host Mayim Bialik is the actress from the movie 'Beaches', who I have written about before on this blog -

Life is Beaches, Songs and Popcorn ... and Then ... The End?

Kinda reminds me of this recent post I wrote -

How to Celebrate International Lego Classicism Day?🏡🛒

Every February 20th

I've never been one for playing with LEGO bricks, or any other type of bricks, even though a large majority of my own DNA building blocks are Danish (20%-40% depending on which month I look at my Ancestry.com results).

I see that today is 'International Lego Classicism Day', which for some reason reminds me of this old 2023 post of mine -

Jesus ... Not Another LEGO Movie!

International Lego Classicism Day

"One of the best ways to get connected with International Lego Classicism Day would be to grab a collection of LEGO style bricks and have some fun! One of the ways one member of the BCE likes to get involved is to use the mini-figures to make “portrait” replicas of important people in the industry."

When I was at the Woolworths supermarket checkout this week, I was asked whether I was collecting the BRICKS figures that I was entitled to receive for spending the right amount on my visit that day.

I told the operator that I wasn't, but I'll take my BRICKS and give them away if I don't want them.

I opened the 4 packets of BRICKS given to me that day and was amused at what I had got, as I had been wondering if I should buy a garden bench for my backyard when I get my garden landscaped, so my son, who lives with me now, and I can sit on it when we go outside to read or just marvel at nature.

I showed my son what I had built with my BRICKS, then put them and the blueprints into a snap lock plastic bag and donated them to the OP Shop for someone else to play with.

I'd rather eat a good cherry pie today than play with LEGO:-)

But it's hard to find a good cherry pie around here.

Proof of Heaven? 🦋👼

After my blue butterfly experience the day after my mother passed away, I was going through all the books that I have accumulated over the years from the Op shop and street libraries, and I saw my copy of Eben Alexander's 'Proof of Heaven' had a blue butterfly on the front cover, so I decided to finally read it after having it in the pile for a few months.

The butterfly I saw in my
mother's garden the day after her death

#4 and Signs of Life From Death? 🪦🦋👀👼🎭

'Proof of Heaven' is not the best book that I have read on the subject, but I wanted a book to give to my sister, who witnessed the blue butterfly with me on the day, and who is a bit of a skeptic when it comes to life after death, unlike myself.

Another weird thing was that I found a recent interview with Eben Alexander over at the 'Connecting with Coincidence' podcast site that was released a week before my mother passed away, but I watched it on You Tube about a week after my mother had passed, at about the same time that I had started reading the book ... as I remember Bernie spoiling the ending for me when I was listening to the podcast, as to who the woman on the butterfly in the afterlife was.

The blue butterfly wasn't the only sign I saw after my mother passed, as I saw a lone sparrow as soon as I stepped out of the hospital after my mother had passed, and while I didn't take that as a real significant sign at the time, even though it did catch my attention at the time enough to mention to my eldest son who was with me at the time that I hadn't seen a sparrow since I was in Melbourne in 2016.

And I am a keen watcher of birds that hang around me, so I know when a bird is a rare sighting for me, such as this sparrow was, and I see as a bird that was very common in my childhood to spot, but not anymore for me for some reason.

Then when I was up at the Buddhist temple the other night for Chinese New Year's eve I saw a painting that bought a tear to my eye of two sparrows in a tree.

There was also a painting of a Sacred Kingfisher, a bird I have not spotted again in the wild since the one that hit my window over a decade ago.

The Bird that Flew into the Window

And there was a painting of another bird, with some significance to me from my trip to Singapore last year, watching a blue butterfly:-)

Robert Duvall Was Born in The Year of the Horse?🐍🐎🐴

Wild Horses was Filmed in
2014, the Year of the Horse

Robert Duvall was born on January 5th, 1931, and even though 1931 was mainly the Year of the Goat, the Year of the Horse didn't finish until February 16th in 1931, making Bob a horse, as far as his Chinese zodiac animal goes.

He died on February 15th, 2026, 2 days before 2026, the Year of the Horse started on February 17th, 2026.

Screenshots from 'Wild Horses'

The way that the missing guy dies in the movie is a real kicker, too, in light of the subject of this post;-)

Robert's 4th, and last wife Luciana Pedraza, who starred in 'Wild Horses' shared January 5th as a birthday with Robert, but he was 41 years older than her.

The other movie they both starred in was the 2002 'Assassination Tango'.

Assassination Tango

Ironically, 'Assassination Tango' was released in 2002, the Year of the Horse.

And there are quite a few horses in that movie, too.

Ayahuasca: Ruined By The Internet?💻🧉

'Ruined By The Internet' Podcast

I've never done Ayahuasca, and with my intense dislike of vomiting and/or shitting my pants, I can't see myself ever doing it in this lifetime.

Ayahuasca: has the internet turned
a sacred ritual into
commodified tourism? – Bia Labate

Ayahuasca was touted like LSD was by the Hippies, as the next big thing that was going to save the world and blow people's minds and make them better people, with guidance from The Vine, but I don't see a lot of evidence of that happening by looking back over the last decade or so.

I don't see much of a change in the people who have claimed to have done it and write about it all over the internet.

Arrogant internet personalities such as David Icke, who have claimed to have done Ayahuasca are still just as arrogant to me ... and maybe more so now that "Mother Ayahuasca" has implanted itself into their big egos.

Oh, and on the subject of Ash, I saw this news story this week about Ash Brewer, who according to my aunty who married into our family, she is related to Ash by marriage, which I guess means that I am too.
