When people ask the [almost] rhetorical question "Why me?", they don't really mean to ask why this has happened. Often, it's not even a question of 'why did this happen to me?'. 

Sadly, unconsciously, many people are really asking - 'Why me, not that other guy?'. Why not the woman at the checkout counter? I could have handled that' but, why ME?

Selfish to the bitter end

Unbelievable! The last time I posted, we were on the verge of going to DST. Well, we've been back to standard time for over a month now and -it's official, we've spent one year in Perth now!!! Awesome. Actually, it's a little overwhelming. Didn't realise a year could go by so fast! 2 birthdays in Aus now. And I;ve just hit 35. Hey, mid-life crisis, where are you?? I could do with a Harley, ya know?!

Nah, I'm still growing up. For my birthday, my sweet wife saved up for six months, bought me a cool Tom Tom GPS and a wad of cash! So, after much hemming and hawing and threats of physical violence if I spent any of it on them, I decided to get myself that Ashton bass guitar I've wanted to for some time - to start learning on. Picked up a nice 20W bass amp too, so it was a good eal. Man, am I loving bass!! I was born to do this!

Next thing I wanna learn - how to fly a plane. Hmm.....I'll start saving up for those lessons.
