I did have some stuff in here about how I love winter because of the snow, but then realised when I logged into OkCupid in the middle of the summer it was drastically out of date. Hence it's getting a rewrite.

When the weather is cold, I spend many waking moments thinking about snow trips, planning snow trips, checking snow reports and webcams to work out the best time to go on a snow trip, etc, etc. I don't ski but snowboard. Never tried skiing but I will one day - I still have far too much fun on a snowboard to stop just now. I'm hopefully going to escape to New Zealand for a few weeks later this year, the Victorian snow has been at best shit the last few years.

Whilst our snow is ordinary, our music in Melbourne is awesome. I'm always checking out live music at places like Yah Yahs, The Tote, or Cherry. Which means I'm mostly into rock music, but also like some punk, alternative, indie and alt country (Alt Country is awesome - listen to The Wagon's if you don't believe me). I also love the more alternative music festivals like Golden Plains, Meredith, Boogie and CherryRock.

Other than snowboarding and rock music, I'm pretty sporty, which is either gym, running and lots of basketball. Very soon I'm going to give kitesurfing a bash too, whilst I still live in St Kilda. Can't wait for that! It's also been far too long since I've been underwater - anyone want to come scuba diving?

My height - being 194cm is pretty obvious.

How the OkCupid people came up with six items for the 'The six things I could never do without' question. I mean, six is a pretty random number. Why not ten, or five, or three - nice 'round' (so too speak) numbers?

Case in point - if my house was on fire, it's not like I would go 'oh - I better grab six things before they burn to pieces.' I would probably be content with three things. Maybe I'll figure out what those three physical things are, put them in my list of six, and fill out the rest with metaphysical things (i.e. world peace, etc)...

At Yah Yahs, The Tote, Pony or Cherry checking out some music.

You're heading to Soundwave, Golden Plains or Boogie. Alternatively, if you wish to argue the Alt Country point - bring it on!

You should definitely send me a message if your destroyed at the news to close The Tote. What a Melbourne music icon, shut down by stupid laws introduced to stop the binge drinking f-cktards who go to CBD nightclubs.
