What hobbies do you enjoy the most?
 

(other than videogames)

I am looking at expanding my range of hobbies, so, which ones do you enjoy the most?

Re: What hobbies do you enjoy the most?
 

Weightlifting is great when I have the time. Wish I would do Yoga more, because it always kicks my ass but just takes so damn long to do.

Basketball, playing and watching. Easily my favorite sport, followed closely by Tether Ball.



Drawing, specifically trying to free-hand copy other peoples work via expo marker because there are a bunch of expo-marker conducive surfaces in my apartment. This I do for the challenge, and also because I want to be artistic in some way but can't create my own image for shit...





Photography, another way of being artistic that isn't too difficult when armed with the right weaponry.







Also, keeping up with Tech Industry happenings is another thing I spend a large portion of my time doing, be it reading Wired, Fast Company, or TechCrunch on a daily basis or attending conference like Digital Media Wire's Digital Music Forum West which I went to last week.

Here's the founder of Pandora, Tim Westergen, giving the lunch Keynote.




I've always meant to pick up an instrument, but it has yet to happen due to time constraints thus far.


Hmm, I guess I need more hobbies too then. Most of my time these days are spent on activities which will hopefully help me farther down the road in pursuing my career in Law, so school clubs, fellowships, research, and just school in general. How'd the LSAT go for you Bond? Did you take it this past round?

Videoga... oh wait.

Well, I drink.
And... hmmm.

Ooh, Sam Flores.


I don't have any hobbies. I draw for practice and work. And I wrestle feral cats to maintain my slim physique.

Playing the guitar (and listening to music) and reading books. Not much time to do other stuff.

Oh, and videogames, of course :p

Re: What hobbies do you enjoy the most?
 

Playing guitar, singing, writing music, weightlifting, going for walks, photography, drawing, rollerblading, street hockey, pickup football/soccer.

I enjoy playing an instrument, and in this case it is sax for me. I also love to ride my bike. It's fun to just get on a bike and go somewhere that isn't necessarily close, because you did it under the power of your own body. I also love going 30 or 40+ mph under my own power.

My biggest hobbie next to video games is working out and looking for ways to improve my diet. I love playing and watching basketball too.

Other than books and games I enjoy programming. One of the best parts about programming is that all of the resources you really need for it are free and downloadable - even the tutorials you need to teach yourself.

I'm actually planning on taking it in June '10, but I started studying this summer (ridiculous, I know).

I was talking about it to BlueFire a few months ago, and was thinking of making a thread for study strategies and such if there is interest.

What are your plans as far as taking the LSAT / law school?

Re: What hobbies do you enjoy the most?
 

Was getting big into rock climbing awhile back but then school came up and I didn't really have the time for it.



Love to read as well. And I play bass in a band as well.

What the heck do you need to study for? You said you got a 172 on the practice. That's like Harvard-good. What is the normal deviation from the practice to actual? Not to mention you read a lot. That's gonna boost your score better than any studying.

My hobbies...I wish. No, I game for a hobby. I love music more than anything else. Sadly I'm taking after my dad and already have somewhat diminished hearing in my right ear. I did Orchestra for 9 years and really had a love-hate relationship with it. I played 2 instruments though and learned a ton about music. I don't have time in college, but when I graduate and get some money I plan to learn guitar, piano, drums or all three. I enjoy reading but I cannot find the motivation to do it. It's like....Internet or TV vs. reading and I just fold in. Poker has become a new hobby for me but that's still gaming. I enjoy writing though and have means to start a blog. My biggest hobby is procrastination though. I have all this stuff I want to do but I just don't do it. Isn't that bad? I also enjoy watches (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horology). I like debating but am not educated in politics or the economy. I'm more educated in history and the sociopolitical side of things (see: race, gender, sexuality, psychology). I exercise but it's not really a hobby. I have a love-hate relationship with running and lifting. I mostly love people and movies. I'm a pop culture whore and love to tear movies down and look at themes and symbolism. If I smoked more pot and had a penchant for creativity I'd be an English professor. My ex-hobby Psychology has become my major so I cannot really claim that as a hobby. I also enjoy rambling and long, unorganized paragraphs.

I'm serious about the blog though, and I have a nice list of books to read. It's just hard to find motivation to read stuff after reading through 50 pages of Psychology. As much as I love psychology the text books leave much to be desired.

I should add I've always wanted to do stand up comedy...but I don't think I'm funny. My friends think I'm funny but there is great bias in what my friends think vs. what everyone else thinks. Truthfully, I don't know if I even have the balls to stand in front of an audience. At least not sober.

Bond....I should add, I really like plants. I have a corn plant, a snake plant, a variety of cacti, and a few other plants just in my dorm. I get great joy watching my plants grow and taking care of them (although my OCD makes me over water sometimes :( ). When I have my own house I look forward to landscaping my outside and I will have a greenhouse and a ton of plants inside my house. I feel connected to the natural world and really like green in my day-to-day environment. You can get plants for cheap, many of them are easy to upkeep (like a cactus or low-light house plant), and they provide a natural connection in contrast to what I assume is your sterile interior.

I don't know if reading and studying the Bible counts as a hobby, but I've grown to love it in the last years.

Playing guitar is nice, but sometimes I get frustrated when I'm not progressing much.

Reading books is something I wish I had/took more time for.
