Black Friday--This One's For You Rocc

Black Friday

"When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road
When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be
Don't let it fall on me
When Black Friday comes
I'll fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big red words
From my little black book
Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos
When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill
You know I will

When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it 'til
I satisfy my soul
Gonna let the world pass by me
The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me
And if he don't come across
I'm gonna let it roll
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna stake my claim
I'll guess I'll change my name"

Rocc has left the building.

Great song, I've posted bits here already. How about something a little more cheesed?

He might not post again, but I guarantee he'll peek in to see his farewells.

I was looking at land around Muswellbrook, nice area, but I still prefer further north around Armidale.

Are we expecting a missle launch tonight? Why is anyone pulling back into a hole? IMHO, pulling into a hole when there is a flood coming is silly. The water is only going to be hip deep in most places. We'll pull through just fine as long as we keep our heads, even those of us (like myself) that live in an urban setting.

In the mean time:

The sun is out, the air is alive with that autumn feeling, and my bike is tuned. To celebrate the day, I've decided to put together a crock pot full of chili. Tomorrow I'm going to the market to sell my hand crafted items and I expect, as always, a good turn out. Sunday, I'll take a day to spend time with some friends. I'm learning to accept what life sends my way (or doesn't) and enjoy the simple pleasure of friends, family and the world around me.

My advice is turn the electronic devices off, go someplace fun this weekend, and chill out (or in my case, chili out). The world will be here when you get back on Monday.

I promise.

Its not the end. Not by a long shot. Sure your retirement may be gone and a lot of people could become jobless in the next 12 months, but as long as there is food at the grocery store and gas at the gas station, i'm not buying it.

Its beautiful here today and suppose to be in the mid to upper 70'sF this weekend... That is nuts... We could be having snow right now.

I say enjoy the ride. This could be good for a lot of us. If this does really KILL consumption, then we just bought ourselves some time...something we all need. I'd much rather Peak hold off for a few more years, even if i'm poorer as a result. My son is only just over a year and i'd like him to be a little bigger before the Zombies come out.

I'm in the same camp (pardon the pun), including the weather - it's gorgeous here in the DC metro area. Anyone who wants to come storm the Capitol will enjoy the best weather we ever get here.

Going to see the US play Cuba in soccer tomorrow!
