Hobbies, passions, projects, etc. Lets talk about something other than chicks.

My dad works on the launch team for the Antares rocket that launched on Saturday, looking forward to him coming home so we can catch up (and he's got my bike lol)

Mine isn't so exciting. I repair and refurbish game consoles as a hobby, picking up some of my dads engineering skills. I post ads on Facebook advertising that I buy broken consoles (and pay more than game stores do) and have been getting lots of consoles that barely need anything but a cleaning. Well last week, a video game store about an hour from me replied to my ad and said their Repair guy quit. I thought they were trying to offer me a job, but he was actually asking if I wanted to buy his ENTIRE lot of broken consoles, for pennies on the dollar.

Going up there Wednesday with a stack of cash to hopefully make a deal on the haul of consoles that will make me a TON of money this holiday season.

Since the company is paying for it, I'm taking a masters degree. Just got to find the right one.

Parrotman01 · 2019-11-04T18:45:58+00:00

I'm doing school to finally get an Associates after many errors, wasted time, and frustration. Years down the drain and I haven't even started Engineering courses yet...

0rbital-nugget · 2019-11-04T20:45:24+00:00

I’m writing a science fiction novel set in what I think the world will be like in 2066. The world is crumbling all in the name of production.

One of the main protagonists is a child soldier who’s fighting corporations destroying the amazon.

He slowly begins to realize his dad is loosing his shit, everyone around him is crazy and they’re fighting a losing battle. His father died and he eventually goes his own way through life searching for freedom and a place he can call home. Thus he has no time for bitches and their manipulation. He’ll be Mgtow to his core

Klasiant · 2019-11-04T19:38:19+00:00

I just picked up a boyhood fantasy after 15 years. A 750km pilgrimage on foot across the country.

Started planning and will start doing regular walks this week. Plan is to do two legs of the journey next summer as proof of concept, then the entire 30-40 day trek the summer of 2021.

As a side note; this project made me realize how supportive and «on my side» my close friends and relatives are. Not one of them has said I am insane or stupid, and they’ve offered nothing but helpful conversation and encouragement when I floated the idea by them.

wwstewart · 2019-11-04T20:54:10+00:00

I've had a website that I've ran for about 10 years off and on, and I'd like to start working on it again. I used to really enjoy doing affiliate marketing, but I fell out of it (even though the site still makes a few bucks here and there). Really, now that my divorce is final, I've started taking a personal inventory. I'm wanting to lose a lot of weight, get back into playing live rock shows, and just be the best dad I can to my 5 year old.

I also bought two packs of Magic cards the other day. The first I've bought in years. I used to love playing that game with friends.

DangZagnut · 2019-11-04T19:27:42+00:00

I cook.

I change diesel boats to electric.

End of list.

2019-11-04T20:21:37+00:00

Currently going back to college for masters in computer engineering.....with no prior experience lol. Dang it's gonna be a rough 2 years.

Mort1186 · 2019-11-04T20:24:59+00:00

I mix sets in my spare time, I used to Dj in my teens. I love all genres of music, but im really into psy trance, deep house and techno. I don't have the patience to learn to produce anymore, but I wish I could learn more about production, maybe I will.

Music was always be an escape for me, it really helps with my depression and anxiety. Now we have access to so much music, I spend most of my time listening to music.

Trail_of_Jeers · 2019-11-04T18:41:51+00:00

I started learning the Tin Whistle, and picked up Drawing again after a 15 year hiatus.

D0p3y3 · 2019-11-04T19:20:01+00:00

Winter prepping and fixing my bikes. Have one that needs a whole lot of work. Been sitting for 2 years. The other one I looped and needs some new parts put on.

Trying to get into race quads, but it's a little slow going.

Learning a shit load about FIRE. Really fired up about it and putting away a good chunk of my income.

Learning a bunch at work and it's nice that I get to stick around while half the guys get laid off due to lack of work.

Dam writing all this out makes me realize I got a nice fuckin life.

NewLife_2017 · 2019-11-04T19:41:23+00:00

Nothing too exciting here.

I have a project car I've been restoring / enjoying the last decade.

I have a new home that doesn't need much work, but it has ugly yellow walls. Painting it and personalizing it will happen when the weather gets colder.

I've been restoring some old antique furniture from an old home I used to own. Good indoor project for rainy days when I am mad at the car.

I have been considering getting a rental property again. I had one before and I sold it because it was a poor investment choice in a shitty neighborhood. I learned a lot on a good property, didn't totally mind it, and now live in an area with better tenant options. They are trying to pass some new BS tenant protection laws though which might discourage me.

ccubed1999 · 2019-11-04T20:01:31+00:00

Motorcycles, and camping. Found some amazing spots with my bike. Beautiful water falls, huge mosquitos, and several ghost towns.

oxford_comma1 · 2019-11-04T22:39:29+00:00

I do mountain biking, bake bread, play guitar, read/write, and lift. Honestly, I want to take on more hobbies like photography and leather crafting but I don’t have enough time or money to pursue all of them yet.

RiseOfEnoch · 2019-11-04T19:43:42+00:00

Started playing piano again after a 10 year hiatus. Been learning how to play a bunch of Nirvana and Metallica songs on it.

Also, I’m 4 days sober and about to start looking for a new job/career.

HofD7 · 2019-11-04T19:47:10+00:00

I did some part create a team for a crypto related business we owned, now I focus on realistic and manga art, my pasion as a kid is always here

HiredNote · 2019-11-04T21:07:07+00:00

Hey, I'm gonna make a horror film or two as well. One of them will be a Halloween fan flick. So it won't be for profit. Another one of them is a found footage short. Since these are my first movies, I'm not trying for something expensive and complicated. I'm just gonna have fun while I learn the ropes about making a film.

ValhallaBoundBoy · 2019-11-04T22:24:14+00:00

I am also passionate about film and story telling. I have a terrible feature film in post, a slightly better short film in post, a novel I am revising, and I make most of my money off of YouTube right now. It is great because I make the money just talking about the shows I love. Don't get me wrong it is work, but its fun work. Plus there is a lot of business stuff that goes on behind the scenes that I love. I used to manage a psychic in the west hollywood area and I loved the business aspect of it.

What I want more than anything is to meet someone who can direct, as I am a terrible director. I write great, and can do great post work, particularly effects, but directing is not my forte. Then I want to team up for a web series.

CastandRefused · 2019-11-04T22:46:54+00:00

Looking to get back into electric guitar, I just fool around on my acoustic now, also learning to play keyboard. I watch a lot of movies and play games also. Would like to do more outside but it's getting quite cold here now.

viper-fish · 2019-11-04T20:20:50+00:00

I play classical music on the piano, I'm still a student for now

ChadThundercock7 · 2019-11-05T02:37:26+00:00

I'm a novice at photography, i want to chase storms but i'm really bad at predicting and anticipating them... also nature, the second week of november im taking some vacation from work and i will spend 4 days at Iberá estuaries in Argentina

tlee1080 · 2019-11-05T02:41:25+00:00

Comic art. I grew up as a kid who read a lot of comic books, most prominently Calvin and Hobbes and a lot of manga. I drew a lot and would make a lot of dumb fan comics in elementary school. Growing up I stopped drawing, but maybe doodling here and there. It wasn’t until senior year of high school where I said fuck it and decided to make a comic as an adult after spending lots of idle time thinking up worlds. Through college I taught myself how to draw and didn’t officially start until around sophomore or junior year. It’s been 4 years but I’m almost ready to self-publish my first chapter. I’m aiming for the end of this month. The dream is to make a career or business out of it so I can leave my current job. It’s honestly the only hobby I have that I don’t regret pursuing.

Vergabot · 2019-11-05T02:50:59+00:00

Recently got into boxing classes for staying in shape purposes and almost a month into it i'm raking the benefits, got stronger, faster and regained some of my old respiratory prowess, feeling better than ever.

Also in the middle of a selection process for a major career path change which will (Hopefully) accelerate my 401k plan.

ReardenLife · 2019-11-05T03:10:00+00:00

It's deer season here, so I spend my free time hunting them and filling my chest freezer with healthy meat.

Harlen21 · 2019-11-05T03:17:42+00:00

Well right now I don't have much time to focus on my hobbies, but I have been writing a fantasy novel.

MGTOWmedicine · 2019-11-05T00:07:48+00:00

Well I only work 3 days a week, usually pick up an extra for cash flow. I have a good amount of free time on the job so I have been studying the real estate market and currently looking into habitat for humanity to learn how to do proper carpentry work. Stacking money for a few years, pay off my truck in one. And as my hobby I’m really passionate about music and video production so I make videos for my YouTube channels and try to scout talent at least once every few weeks.

2019-11-05T02:58:15+00:00

Thanks OP; we need more threads like this. I hope more people discuss their passions and interests, because it will show how high we can reach as males if we don't focus on women.

thehedgehawg · 2019-11-05T06:13:35+00:00

Motorcycling ( mostly wandering on an adventure bike, but looking to get back into the ocassional track day next spring ), long range shooting, pistols, reading military history, hand rolled cigars, small batch bourbon, and single malt scotch...

2019-11-05T09:29:32+00:00

Not really a hobby just a fun time. The new Call of Duty campaign is amazing. I was scared with the female fighter character but it's not so sjw and the later stages are just incredible.

0rbital-nugget · 2019-11-05T17:36:54+00:00

It originally started as a way to get all these ideas out of my head. Now I love it. I couldn’t imagine having a woman in my life to take away from my writing time.

yashparikh00 · 2019-11-05T17:43:44+00:00

Im basically a Chartered Accountant. I am in the auditing department. Ill say that my wprk is pretty interesting because i travel to different parts of India (im an indian) as well as the world. I started my job this year in february and travelled to London and Singapore. So while travelling I write a diary about what im feeling and what i did and whatever thoughts that came to my mind. I also play the guitar while travelling and the money is great. My salary is around 50 lakh rupees(around 72000 dollars a year) which is great because i just passed out(yeah im 21) and planning to move to another country(us or canada). I also want to start dancing and singing that i used to do some years back. So pretty much life is going great.
