I used to be a bit of a snob.

Well, I still am, I suppose….

However, I’m much more balanced than I used to be — living in your head all day every day gets old after the first 30 years or so. I’m much more interested in experiencing life now than simply observing and analysing it.

So, life for me now is about achieving goals and experiencing new things. Maybe I’ll swing back a bit eventually, but at the moment I’m adventurous, social and surprisingly non-geeky.

So what might I be doing in mid-March? Attending an Eels vs. Bulldogs game, that’s what. This is particularly thrilling because not only are Bulldogs fans notoriously rowdy and dangerous, but also because the Eels are their traditional rivals… and I’ll be supporting the latter team.

That’s right, folks — I’m embracing my westie roots.

While we’re at it, I’m outing myself as a wog as well.
