Woohoo !!
I have just returned from attending the Grand Final AFL Parade in the city. It was great !!
Basically just me and OrangeBear hanging out together. How I love these times.

We got there around 10 for the 12 oclock parade which was much too early. We had some brekkie at maccas and then bought a herald sun to read. When we were done with that, we got an AFL record and read that too.

The parade was great or did I say that before. I was like 1 metre away from the likes of Chris Judd, 2004 Brownlow winner. Then of course there were all the players from Port Power and Brisbane Lions. It was all very exciting and it was a very big carnival atmosphere.

I am extremely glad I took up football this year.
Mainly, it has increased things that OrangeBear and I could do together, increased my participation in college sport (I trained with the team !!), expanded my knowledge of all things Aussie...and I got to know a few great blokes around.

Australian Football is so wrongly maligned as a tough and rough sport. It is also a very beautiful game and a good match is a gem to watch.

I love Aus Football..I only wish I could afford a Grand Final ticket. But at least I have been to several games this season. Hopefully more next season too.

Oh and for those who did not know. Recently I won a tipping contest at college. Basically I had to tip which team was going to win..and in my first season..I have won ! Hurray.

Now I am playing Fantasy Soccer at Yahoo with college again. After a 6 year hiatus in EPL soccer...I am making a comeback.

Looking for the SportsPerson within....lol
