Nerd alert! Don’t ask about the vest… I have no idea. I guess I wasn’t as sick of that haircut as I thought, because I obviously put up with it for yet another year.
So much for movie star or hockey player, eh? Apparently, I was practicing to become a librarian, an accountant, or a computer programmer. I’m not good with money, and I’m not particularly fond of books, and the rest is what dreams are made of. There’s an old picture of me as a toddler punching away at a computer keyboard that I’ll have to find and put up here. Not all that unusual nowadays, but back then you weren’t in the elite geek circle unless you had one.
I wouldn’t have made a very good hockey player anyway. There’s that whole skating thing that they always seem to be doing for most of the time, which is a lot harder than it looks. I’m probably the only Canadian over 20 that can’t (well, couldn’t). I’ve since strapped on a pair (of skates) after a 20 year hiatus. What have I learned? 1.) The bigger you are, the harder you fall, the slower you heal. 2.) After 20 years of not skating, I mysteriously still haven’t learned how to stop. 3.) Getting your skates “rockered” has more to do with old grannies than it does old guitarists. 4.) I am way out of shape.
Not that there’s anything wrong with books or school. It’s cool to stay in school, kids. Do it long enough, and you could very well save humanity itself. A librarian wouldn’t be all that bad, actually. It involves my three favourite activities: collecting, databasing, and sorting.
What? You thought I actually watch the DVDs I buy? You thought I actually read the comics I collect?
Where’s the fun in that?
