What are your hobbies, how did you get started?

vengefully_yours · 2014-04-23T15:11:45+00:00

I build stuff, restore muscle cars, produce ethanol fuel, lift, travel, and when time/funds permit I fly RC.

I got into old cars in the 80s, because I lived on a farm that is twenty five miles from town. Town had girls, lots of them. Getting there meant I could get laid and have fun. I decided if I was getting a ride, it would be something different yet cool. If I drove a minivan or some craptastic front drive car it would have been more difficult to get laid. Just a pos wasn't enough, I had to have something that said positive things about me.

Enter a 1967 Cougar. Red with a black interior, V8, two doors, like a Mustang but not quite the same bellybutton. Keeping that thing running was a huge learning experience, engines, transmissions, brakes, electrical, and the annoying vacuum powered headlight covers, not to ,mention the sequential taillights that always needed work. Dead simple car, easy to fix, very easy to learn on, and not a boring ass mom car. That one spawned a whole series of rides, many of which were built solely to accelerate quicker than the other guys cars. 6.6L to 7.4L fun toys in rear drive cars, mostly Pontiacs, but a few Fords thrown in.

Everything else spawned from my car addiction, or the military, except lifting. I got into lifting from wrestling in high school. The fuel I make powers my high compression engines, and I built them specifically to burn ethanol, they won't run on gasoline anymore unless its expensive race gas. Its cheap to produce, about forty cents a gallon, and I get better mileage on it with lots more power, because my engines are built to take advantage of it. 500hp is easy and so is 20mpg with a carburetor in an old car with a huge engine.

I found the best way to use a car to get laid is to make it ratty, no interior, loud, obnoxious, and as sinister looking as possible. I get more action and attention in my old ratty cars than I do in my shiny red 98 Formula. Ludicrous power is a panty dropper, but its all about the sinister look. I have the same car in both ratty and shiny, and the ratty high powered one gets vastly more female interest. Its counterintuitive, but its what works for me.

Backyard orcharding.

I grow three kinds of grapes, four kinds of apples, five kinds of cherries, two kinds of blueberries, and I've tried raspberries and strawberries although they're more annoying.

I've got something of an informal working partnership with a friend who homebrews. I provide the mash, he does the chemistry.

I started because I dislike one of my neighbors and wanted bees. If there weren't ordinances against it I'd have hives.

skinisblackmetallic · 2014-04-23T14:42:48+00:00

I play the guitar. I do so semi-professionally so, technically, it's not a hobby but there is so much that one can do with music, it is a hobby, as well. I play bar gigs for money but I sit around and learn songs I like, make up tunes & record them and play in indie bands for fun.. so it's a hobby too.

I basically grew up with it and got serious about it when I was a teen.

Fitness is a bit of a hobby, as well. I would like to get into it more but there's only so many hours in a day.

Dancing. Proper dancing, with shoes and everything. Turns out, it's quite a RP activity:

keeps you (somewhat) in shape
keeps you in touch with a network of 18-24 year-old ladies and their friends
keeps you in touch with your local nightlife
women like it when you lead
women like to follow
women like being picked up, spun, dipped, and otherwise handled
dance floor serves as an allegory for the sexual market (if women see that you can dance with every other woman, they want to dance with you more)
dancing can lead to other things

rorricles · 2014-04-23T16:02:23+00:00

Parkour. I had some previous experience in gymnastics, I was young, fit, and quite light. I saw Casino Royale and thought 'I want to be that guy, be able to traverse any urban environment.' I've been training and practicing on and off ever since.

Motorcycles. In a day where we cannot accept even a tiny bit of additional risk in our lives without people thinking you're nuts... It's a great time to start.

There is a reason why it has enthralled so many men for so long. Sense of freedom, the satisfaction nailing a perfect turn, and amazing comradarie. And they are simple to work on, a continuous process if you ride as much as I do. It's meditation on two wheels.

Wrong_Opinion · 2014-04-23T19:00:38+00:00

I practice marksmanship with firearms. I had always been interested in guns since a young age. I credit this to my more rustic family members introducing me to them in a positive way. They taught me how firearms are fun, but also deadly and must be handled with the utmost care. I purchased my first rifle at age 19, a Hi-Point 995TS 9mm carbine. I still have it, it needs work because I accidentally let the outside get rusted. (The action is still clean so you can relax now).

I graduated from that to a CZ SP-01 Phantom 9mm pistol as a birthday gift to myself in my 21st year of life. The year after that I obtained a CHL in my state. I have the right, privilege, and bear the responsibility of being armed in public should I so choose.

After that, I acquired a Finnish Mosin-Nagant rifle, which I meticulously maintain every time I fire it. (Corrosive surplus is only your wallet's friend.)

I discovered the Appleseed project soon after, and acquired a Marlin 795 rifle in order to participate. During my first shoot the Marlin malfunctioned so I used my Mosin the entire weekend. Needless to say my shoulder was yellow and blue, and my left hand had a couple burn marks on it. But it was totally worth it, I learned a lot about rifle marksmanship. I hope to have time to go back and earn a Rifleman badge soon.

My best shot so far has been hitting a construction helmet at 500 yards with only the iron sights on my Mosin. If you apply proper position, breathing technique, and know how to measure, you can shoot anything.

Vodkas21 · 2014-04-23T15:39:45+00:00

Boxing, lifting, reading and writing a journal. Boxing I just joined a gym, liked it and stuck to it. Lifting was partly due to TRP preaching to lift and wanting to gain some muscle. Reading is simple enough but a worthwhile task, I've picked up a few ideas for what I want to do with my life from the books.

The journal was originally used to track what I eat and my lifts at the gym, I've added a to do list and what I accomplished and learned each day, it's mainly used to keep me honest and be more proactive. If anyone takes any ideas from my post writing a journal would be what I advise for anyone serious on their self improvement.

Blood_Vaults · 2014-04-23T15:45:46+00:00

Crossfit/Oly lifting

Reading

Fishing

Once my active duty contract ends I plan on joining my state militia. I bought into the kool-aid for the longest time and believed the lies about state militias simply being a circle jerk organization for rednecks who want to drink beer and fire weapons. Two things have changed my stance:

-The Nevada state militia's support of Cliven Bundy and standing up to the unjust actions of the BLM

-The fact that many former infantryman and special forces dudes join up with the militia. I know I will miss the fraternity and brotherhood with my fellow men in arms coupled with the reality that every single skill I've learned in the military is very perishable if I don't constantly refresh it and administer them in at the very least training scenarios I know will go away.

Cyralea · 2014-04-23T18:03:42+00:00

Fishing. The women in my life hate it, and that's fantastic. I get away with the boys for a few hours, drink a few beers, and haul back a nice plump muskie as evidence of my hunting prowess.

Doesn't matter how shitty my week was, fishing for a few hours clears all of that. It's therapeutic.

Clauderoughly · 2014-04-23T21:16:01+00:00

Blacksmithing.

I always enjoyed working with metal, and I have a strong interest in chemistry, metallurgy and engineering.

Sadly I lack the space right now, but there is a place I found where I can practice a few times a month.

I work in an office most of the time, so being able to work with my hands and create things is very satisfying.

kalligreat · 2014-04-23T16:53:39+00:00

I really enjoy running. It started because I was fat and it helped me get in shape and gain a lot of confidence.

beltwaytr · 2014-04-23T18:37:30+00:00

Building PC's. Started in my teens because I hated sharing a "family" computer. Built my first one with an expert over the phone and have been tinkering with electronics ever since.

Blogging. I've always been a good writer according to teachers, but never really had a passion for it. TRP actually got me into blogging about relationships, and I try to spread TRP teachings through my posts.

I want to start picking up a few new hobbies:

A new language - Nothing common, something like Japanese, German, Italian, etc. (Too many benefits to list)

How to fix/maintain a car. (I feel it's something every man should know how to do)

Learn a Martial art - As a kid I grew up watching Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, Samo Hung, etc. I've always had an attraction to martial arts and even learned a little ninjitsu when i was 12. I've since then fell out of it but I think every guy should learn self defense.

egodidactus · 2014-04-23T14:57:04+00:00

Weightlifting and meditation. Went through a bit of a quarter-life crisis after high school. Very transformative time for me. As you would expect, these two hobbies changed my life. Sound body, sound mind. I was walking around yesterday and it actually dawned on me that overall, I'm a pretty fucking happy person. On top of that, these aren't really hobbies but more practices- I don't masturbate or look at porn, only take cold showers, track all my macros/calories (not trying to sound elitist but this stuff makes me disciplined and fuck you I'm proud of it).

awesome_possum2 · 2014-04-23T15:27:02+00:00

Lifting. Taking care of three kids. Reading. Playing guitar. Photography.

torchbearer101 · 2014-04-23T15:50:28+00:00

Not just fishing, but fly fishing.

Takes a certain amount of finesse and patience that can be very awarding. Almost all fishing clubs will have beginner classes and its a great way to meet people.

captshady · 2014-04-23T16:22:37+00:00

extremely interested for a few days maybe even weeks if I am lucky. I can never seem to stick with something and I can't tell if that's just me being lazy or if it's the fact that maybe I'm not into it as much as I thought I'd be.

Promise yourself that when you're about to start a new hobby, that you'll stick with it for a whole month. Commit to doing just that, as often as you start out with. Don't procrastinate any of it, stick to the schedule you've started with, whole heartedly. Allow yourself to decide to quit, only after a month. If on that day, and that day alone, you still want to quit, then quit. If not, repeat for another month.

sabre_twist · 2014-04-23T17:19:27+00:00

Skydiving. I got into it at university when I was around 22 (without looking at my logbook I can't give an exact age) after a summer spent working in the most god awful dull call centre. There was a stall set up in the students union for the club and I thought "what the hell" and signed up. After a lot of rainy, windy, no jumping weekends I finally got my license and i've since progressed to formation skydiving, freeflying, canopy formations, and hopefully by the end of the year i'll have made my first foray in to BASE.

leSmoothOperator · 2014-04-23T17:51:20+00:00

Firefighting- joined a volunteer department in college because I was bored as hell and wanted to do something other than party.

Shooting- I've gotten into sporting clays lately and hunted deer this past season with a crossbow.

I used to go dirt biking and camping on a regular basis as well.

Ausrp · 2014-04-23T20:43:17+00:00

Have two young sons so usually taking them to swimming/soccer/football(Aussie rules)/karate/swimming etc.....fuck sake they got a lot on. I coach eldest boys soccer team. Play guitar and gig occasionally in cover band. Have always exercised ( dumbbell weights/bodyweight/bashing shit out of punch bag ) though as I'm now 41 I could be a little more controlled in diet :) I also build / fix stuff that wife and kids break....have built camper trailers, arcade cabinets, house extensions, furniture etc etc ...smell of metalwork on a fella works wonders for the mrs. Also got new motorbike on order....used to ride Ducatis.... But they built for small Italian dudes not 6'4 Aussie guys with knees that don't bend so easily anymore.

bgny · 2014-04-23T21:06:39+00:00

My hands are good with detail work, so I like painting miniatures, card manipulation and magic, and tinkering with electronics. A newer hobby is building atomizer coils for vaporizers.

I do a ton of reading, and some writing - mostly for myself but I have a few publication credits.

I like bass fishing and hiking, and playing blues guitar.

I'm curious what the comments would look like if asked in a female subreddit.

kidvjh · 2014-04-24T01:08:57+00:00

Drawing (graphite, pastel and charcoal) and a bit of painting. I started as a kid, mostly because we were poor and pencils/paper were cheap/free in school. For years it was just a quiet pass time that I figured wasn't impressive or cool like playing a sport or guitar. Man was that wrong. Tell a woman you want to draw her, she just melts. It's not even fair how unable they are to resist that compliment. Better yet, sketch a woman in a bar/coffee shop, walk over and say "excuse me, I hope you don't mind, but I just couldn't help myself" while handing it to her. Again, they have absolutely no defense, its not even fair.

egodidactus · 2014-04-23T15:19:34+00:00

I started training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu few years ago, and I really recommend it. Not only is it a really addictive and fun hobby but increases your chances of self defence, increases your health and physical prowess and puts you in a mental frame that makes you dominating in interactions with other people. Coupled with meditation, cold showers, lifting and fighting, good diet and you almost become godly. Some days when I am hitting all these things right and get into a after-exercise state of glory I can almost melt women with my eye contact or control interactions with others without even thinking about it. Damn, I'm glad I started this early in my life.

Another highly important aspect of martial arts is that it breaks you down to build you up again. During my first lessons I was so physically frail and mentally timid but, damn, now I feel like I'm actually manipulating my life energy, if I may use some spiritual babble. Well at least until my next rolling session when some fresh, new jiu-jiteiro chokes me. But hey, everyone has his up and down days. Mine are just getting higher every day.

EricTheRedd · 2014-04-23T15:48:35+00:00

Front a rock band (lead vox / guitar). Been doing it for years but never had the confidence to take it to the next level until a few years back.

Polishrifle · 2014-04-23T16:25:04+00:00

Lifting, sailing, golf, and muay thai.

Been lifting for about 10 years now, so I'm squatting and deadlifting around 400lbs (working weight).

Sailing because I did it as a kid and enjoyed it. Decided to get back into it and re-learned it. It's really easy and so much fun being out on the water.

Golf to play with customers and my buddies. It really is such a fun sport and it's individual based yet competitive if you want it to be. I like that. Also, being out in nature and on such pristine courses really gives you an appreciation for the finer things in life.

Muay thai because I wanted to channel all the strength I've developed into something useful. Plus it's helping me lose the beer gut I develop during college football season.

Other than that I want to get into DJing, Poker/Blackjack (i know they are not the same game!!), and start investing in conpanies on the side.

NoFatChicks88 · 2014-04-23T17:03:51+00:00

I play guitar and sing

This is probably the best one for the ladies. If you learn a couple sappy romantic songs that most chicks can recognize and you play it for them with confidence then you're in luck, my friend. Open mic nights are good for this.

Clay Scultping

Tons of fun and a great activity you can do with a lady; making her a cute figurine is a tactic I've used before to great effect.

redkudu1980 · 2014-04-23T22:36:24+00:00

Model ships. There pretty and you work with your hands. There's plenty of help on chatrooms and youtube. It accomplishes the same goals of meditating but you get something from it at the end of the day.

windycityman · 2014-04-23T22:39:21+00:00

I pick out a new hobby every once in a while to stay fresh. I always wanted to fly planes. My buddy and I used to play Microsoft Flight Simulator all the time back in the day. A few years ago he got his private pilots license so that inspired me to do the same. Shit if he could do it I thought, then so can I.

So now I'm taking lessons. That's my current focus outside of work. I'm all about learning new skills. A couple things on my list after I get my pilot's license are learning how to blacksmith and learning some more carpentry skills.

Just make a list of shit you've always wanted to do, stuff that seems interesting and go find a place to help you do it and learn more about it. Blacksmithing is sweet, you learn how to make your own tools. I can't wait to get started and build something with my own tools. How awesome is that?

2014-04-23T22:48:08+00:00

Photography and fine art. I used to paint actually, went to college for it. I ended up in a rut when it came to subject matter (portraiture) and a friend suggested I get into fine art photography. At the time I had no idea about exposure, aperture, etc. it just seemed like something I could try. I was hooked instantly. You mean all I have to do is press the shutter button and the camera makes me the image?! No more mixing paints and making canvas? Amazing. I put down the brush and here I am.

Golf whenever I find the time to. Amazing game, also something I took in college just to try out. At the time all I knew was who Tiger Woods was and what par was. Started off with coaching (incredibly important) and I was described as a natural. Finally an impressive, competitive sport that I was actually good at. Now I can talk golf with the best of them. Amazing networking opportunities because a lot of successful men play golf.

Anything automotive I don't really count as a hobby because I work in the industry. Including motorsport and motorcycling. It's in my blood.

Meglomaniac · 2014-04-23T15:14:56+00:00

I lift, I run a major corporation in eve online, I learn languages, I eat good food (cooking), and I try to fuck hot women.

bokujin · 2014-04-23T15:24:42+00:00

mountain biking

working on cars / drifting

Derzu_Uzala · 2014-04-23T15:29:28+00:00

I pay attention to what I really like and try to do it. I am a attracted to all sort of technical things, from electronics, computers, etc, to tiling a bath or making forniture. BUT, I get bored if I spend too much time on something so I just switch between interests.

greenearth2 · 2014-04-23T15:47:46+00:00

Running - Every year, I sign up for half marathons, full marathons, obstacle races (i.e. tough mudder), and triathalons. Picked it up as a way to exercise, meet people, and meditate (nothing clears your head like running for hours on end). I met my current girlfriend through it too.

Hitting the gym - makes me look and feel good. Running is my lower body workout, lifting is my upper.

Game/app programming - went to school for programming, I recently started a company (LLC) with a college friend, and are making mobile apps both for ourselves and clients. Really fun, challenging, and rewarding.

Politics - Got involved in politics a bit and I am now an elected official (precinct delegate). It actually really easy and it let's you explore the world of local politics more.

Basically just make a list of things you'd like to do more of. It doesn't have to be that specific; maybe you'd like to clear your head more or get out more, then look for ways to do that. Write down goals, dreams, etc.. and find resources on how to start. If women do it, that's an obvious plus. Check for subreddits. They can help you get started. /r/running /r/fitness /r/leangains etc..

peaudecastor · 2014-04-23T16:35:41+00:00

fishing, hunting, hockey, kitesurfing, mountain bike

SajuukCor76 · 2014-04-23T16:40:44+00:00

I build amateur cosplay armours. I started it to help combat my social anxiety. Worked like a charm. Plus feels good to build something unique with your hands.

Started weight lifting a month ago. Got tired of being a sack of shit.

During the spring, summer, and fall I do charity work for Prostate Cancer. Gets me out for what I feel is a worthy cause.

DarkSayed · 2014-04-23T18:11:40+00:00

theatre (seeing it, not acting).

I go gym, but I don't consider that a hobby, more a lifestyle choice.

OpiumPhrogg · 2014-04-23T18:16:16+00:00

Juggling / Prop Manipulation. I am on track to get a set of fire poi this summer.

seiken287 · 2014-04-23T19:07:09+00:00

Current hobbies: lifting, billiards, road biking, hiking, photography.

How I got started: Had to lose weight. Down 70lbs from 240. Always wanted to get good at Pool. When I watch dudes who are 65+ hit shots with such accuracy, I rather be in a pool hall than an old age home when I'm their age.

Been biking since young. Started hiking after a buddy invited me. Photography is fun, being able to capture a point in time with your aspect and sharing it with others.

Side hobbies I'm exploring: Rock climbing (bouldering, belaying), paintball, snowboarding (last few months, hard as fuck), might give skateboarding a try this summer.

Tried salsa dancing for 2 months, liked it but I couldn't give it my all. Same with hiphop.

sniperhiding · 2014-04-23T19:40:31+00:00

Quilting, zumba, painting finger nails, pampered chef parties. /s

Arduino, strategy board games, crossfit, hacking (white hat), finance, keto, cooking.

mr_throwz · 2014-04-23T20:25:42+00:00

Getting back into fitness.

Gonna start learning languages.

I play EVE Online (which is actually a very social, and political game - you find a lot of atheists and RP-types on there).

Want to get into martial arts.

Keyser_Soze0607 · 2014-04-23T22:44:55+00:00

I'm teaching myself Japanese. I started because I needed humanities credits to transfer from my junior college. The courses to satisfy these requirements were courses like women's studies and various ethnic studies. That was a hell no from me. However, I saw various language courses met the requirements and I had always wanted to learn a 3rd language. I picked Japanese because it was challenging. My reading is really good; listening comprehension various dramatically; and speaking is horrendous. I know I'll fix it.

MemebaseAccount · 2014-04-23T23:09:52+00:00

I play high level tennis- started at 13 when I discovered I had a natural talent for the sport.

I do performance piano and compose as well- started young, got self motivated in high school.

I lift weights for aesthetics- started at age 17 when I really motivated myself to commit.

I love outdoor activities, like throwing the frisbee, hunting, camping, shooting guns at the range.

I love motorcycles and am trying to but one of my own to ride, currently have the money saved but I would like to get the blessing from my parents to ride before I buy.

There's more, but they take up less of my time than those main ones.

Teeth_of_Lions · 2014-04-24T02:57:49+00:00

Kendo. Having an interest in bushido, katanas, and living in Japan at the time made it a path I've pursued for over 25 years.

I also do a lot of metalwork...specifically tsuba (the hand guard of a katana) but I also make jewelry.

physicalchemistry · 2014-04-24T08:11:26+00:00

Lockpicking- started because it requires skill, perpetual training and provides fine motoric control. New locks always are quite a challenge.

Programming- both high and lowlevel, started because certain programs could not do what I needed them to do, a fascination with hacker culture and I had not been sure what to do after school.

Mountainbiking is also awsome.

jeremyfirth · 2014-04-24T14:17:29+00:00

Rugby. It's a legal fight club. I love it.

rpdoom · 2014-04-23T15:06:56+00:00

I coach wrestling at a high school. I wrestled from age 6 to 18, then went on to do MMA, but blew my knee out, got a career oriented job and started coaching. The team I coached for the past 6 years was the best that ever existed in our state (I'm only slightly proud of that), but I had some fallout with the new administration, and I have since moved to a new school.

I got into it because of the amount of years I spent in the sport, and the amount of love I have for it. It really is one of the greatest, purest sports left. It's especially good for teaching young guys how to exercise self control and self determination.

It's something I've always loved, and now I get to carry that passion on to the next generation of wrestlers in this area.

cellularresp · 2014-04-23T16:09:59+00:00

Trap shooting, fly fishing and lifting. I used to be very passionate about mountain biking but the older I get the more cognoscente I become of my own mortality and how much an injury can ruin my career so I've since stopped doing extremely risky things.

2014-04-24T02:42:58+00:00

Photography - got a sweet deal on a mirrorless DSLR so I jumped on it. Been at it for 3 years. Have made some money on the side too.

Lifting - my younger brother who was obese lost a ton of weight and inspired me to get fit. Now we work out together.

Auto repair - just wanted to save money and learn. Guess my dad planted that seed, heh. Bunch of my friends also own older cars so it worked out as an enjoyable hobby.

Computers/Gaming - this is actually one I more or less dropped. Been gaming since high school. During college I realized that gaming is a HUGE waste of time. I still enjoy building computers for friends every once in a while.

Shooting - I went out and bought a pistol for my birthday a few years ago. I love shooting and maintaining it. Saving for an AR now.

Gabe6678 · 2014-04-24T03:24:49+00:00

I practice shooting with air guns. They can use gas pistons, pressure, springs, CO2, etc. to send the pellet. I'm working on building up an arsenal. The equipment is much cheaper, and the shooting is safer and easier than firearms. However, it feels somewhat realistic. You can set up a box with phonebooks and print targets. If you buy a high powered rifle, you can hunt squirrels and birds. Pellet guns teach gun safety and marksmanship. It is manly, and very entertaining. You can purchase a basic CO2 pistol with some pellets for around $50.

itsemalkay · 2014-04-24T03:44:58+00:00

Theming my phone and jailbreaking/rooting phones because I want my phone to be "unique".

I also like to go to the gym and lift heavy. I started out a scrawny fuck, I couldn't even bench the barbell haha. Its been 9 months since I started, and I am currently benching 155 lb - 7 reps.

Another hobby of mine would be reading self improvement books because I want to become the best person I can be.

CapitalG · 2014-04-24T04:02:53+00:00

Golf. Got into it because of my friends, now I can't get enough of it.

rebuildingMyself · 2014-04-24T04:41:48+00:00

Piano, salsa, lifting, reading.

Sapienti_Sat · 2014-04-24T07:14:55+00:00

Boxing, a lifelong passion..makes me feel powerful and in control + occasional jogging on a nice day. I play chess and consider it an art..teaches you strategy and thinking in advance. I like technology and consider myself somewhat a geek..fortunately it´s also a primary source of my income..I love what I do for a living. I like to read a lot..literature focuses my mind.

I travel a lot, so any hobbies that involve leaving my room are difficult to keep up. However:

Gym - Nothing like the feel of lifting a new personal best and getting that pre-workout rush.

Music - I love to sit and write electronic music (and anything else whenever I have my guitars and keyboard). I can sit at my laptop and not move for a whole weekend with just a Joint or 5 to keep me company, and just write music. No better feeling.

I also love sport, unfortunately due to travel I never really get the chance to participate in it much. However, last few places I have been I've joined an MMA club and started learning which is great fun.

I like to down hill ski in the winter. It is a lot of fun, but terrible to take new people. They need lessons, I've seen too many friends get hurt because they didn't.

Summers I go camping, golfing, swimming, I plan on getting into kayaking this summer, and I'm also thinking about getting back into mountain biking.

I have been collecting records for about 6 months and have a couple hundred. Most of which areyou classical. I got them from the thrift shop for 1$ each and my new records for 20$-40$ at the record shop.

I love to just go out and bicycle for hours on end, up hills, around the city you name it. keeps me active and I get out and about daily. Besides that I enjoy cooking and baking. I do it just to try new things and if it's baking just give it away to female co workers, they get fatter and I eat healthy. muahaha

Snowboarding: always thought it was cool as a teenager and I enjoy cold weather, outdoorsy stuff. Cars & motorcycles: originally out of necessity. I was always fixing a beater to get from point A to point B. Now I just enjoy tinkering. Gym/running: played sports in high school and had physical development classes so the gym went hand in hand. Dropped off after college. Wanted to enlist in the military. Lost 75 pounds in a year (240 lb to 165lb) Gym just goes with it and self improvement is too satisfying.
