so.... found out the hard way last night that while sport may be sometimes fun to watch- and yes, I suppose it is a good idea to keep relatively fit- it's not much fun actually playing. That is to say it may well be fun for those who are in fact fit and healthy, but for someone like myself who stopped all sporting activity at the age of 16 ( I finally released myself of dad's projected footy star dreams ), it aint much fun trying to run when all you can see are spots!!
Yes, that's right, I got roped into playing mixed netball with my girlfriend as her team was one player short this season. I guess it's a bit of fun- just a bit- especially once it's all done and you get that lovely rush of endorphines that comes from physical exerstion. But fuck me!! During the game I seriously thought I might just need to pop out for a quick smoke and a beer, ya know?!? Of course now I ache from head to toe. Perhaps being fit aint such a bad idea......
On a lighter note, I have recently come to the conclusion that summer here in Ol Melbourne Town is gonna be a scorcher, and not just weather wise. One of my fav bands, The Basics, have set up a residency at the Espy on a monday night which started a couple of weeks ago and by all accounts is the place to be. The BDO has an awesome line up too, and there's heaps of really good bands coming out over the summer which I'm really looking forward to seeing. It will also be my first summer actually living in St.Kilda/ Elwood rather than just being there most of the time, which means a walk down to the beach any ol time I feel like it, and that can't be bad! Besides, for a guy like me, there aint many places that can beat St.Kilda in summer for people watching!
Best be back to work now- which is gonna suck because most of my job involves standing and walking around, which I'm finding somewhat difficult today...... may have to get back to the skatie for some healthy-ness.......
