I play drums all of the time, and I just started playing guitar.

  • Ameature radio or ham radio, my call sighn is KJ6ACR, if anyone is interested we can trade QSL Cards.
Playing and practicing the piano, at the moment I am trying to get through some of the music of Battlestar Galactica, I am trying to actually get "Kara Remembers" played through properly, but that requires a partner (2 people). The only other person who plays is my step-mom, but she is always busy or at work. Btw here is what it sounds like:
I do some freelance website design for local businesses, along with helping them get set up with cloud hosting, and setting up name records, dns, etc.Drafting and autocad work for my father.Work with my dad on cool projects, usually revolving around remodeling my parents house.Electronics, usually building cool projects with my arduino, vex, or lego mindstorm. I like robotics, but it is a pricey hobby. Also soldering.Airsoft and paintball.Biking and skiing.RC cars, drones, and airplanes. Also model trains, although most of the stuff I have is stored away and only used around Christmas time.I also make my own videos and photography. I usually upload to YouTube, and I also stream some gameplay every so oftenFinally, I like video editing and sound production in my spare time. I also help film, stream, and edit some of the local high school graduations every year.

Photography (right now struggling with just a phone and a camcorder. DSLR coming soon... Hopefully...)

Jogging / running. I'm too lazy to walk to most places and I run most of my time spent moving in between places on-foot. Ya know, Gotta go fast...

 

I'd try airsoft if I could and if I could afford it... Same goes for martial arts (only Aikido and Taido are possible to train within 20 kilometers, and even those are too expensive for me).

I'd also try parkouring, but I'm weaksauce, and can't train in gym due to some people...

 

Other hobbies include stalking other people, learning lockpicking (with poor results ATM) and hoarding tech.

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

Bass. Actually I probs play more bass than video games on the sole purpose that I like it just as much and also it may get me somewhere.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

I once spent alot of time building 1/35 World War II model kits, really alot of fun. Now days I really don't have a schedule that gives me time to have a hobby, probably building PC's I'd say is my closest thing to a hobby.

Building anything ensures use of your brain, meaning you are still giving your brain a workout, that is what i define as a good hobby.

As a musician:

  • Electric bass, my first and main instrument
  • Guitar (western/ electric)
  • Piano, limited skill
  • Drums, slightly more skilled than on piano

As a producer:

  • Production music (symphonic soundtrack style)
  • Alternative rock

 

Other hobbies/ skills:

  • Photographer (also worked professionally for 7 years for the press)
  • Writing (fantasy/ sci-fi novels and screenplays, fairly recently started so the jury is still out whether I'm any good or not)
  • Warhammer 40,000 (6 different armies)
  • Video editing, post production
  • Tabletop RPGs
  • Building lots of computers and helping friends with theirs
  • Running a large gaming community

 

I have no spare time...

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

my hobbies are whatever takes my interest at the time.  I get bored of them after a few months and find a new one.
