Its not about me, its about you!

Hello Birdy - William McInnes and I


About 3 or 4 years ago, I had made up my mind that I wanted to be famous. Well, in reality, the thought had crossed my mind a number of times over the years. I thought this meant getting my 'mug' in front of the camera and into every living room from Balga to Badgingarra. I now realize this is not what I want for myself: What I really want is to share my experiences with others.

Just this morning I received an email from YET ANOTHER university graduate looking for advice on how to get a job. That is fine - bring it on. I have absolutely no problem taking a few minutes out of my day to give someone some useful advice. If it improves their chances of employment in a profession that has given me so much joy, then I want to do it (provided they pay it forward in 20 years time when they are receiving similar emails). Sorry, I digress: Back to me and Will.

Last year I was involved in a documentary called Hello Birdy with the far-more-famous than I, Mr William McInnes. What a hilarious little jaunt that was. My beloved Tiger Snakes (and I) feature in Episode 5: Pests. The title neither refers to myself or the snakes, but now that I know him better, it may well be referring to Will (cue smiley face and LOL).
