    Hobbies outside of music?

    (I'd just like to start by saying this is my 1,000 post. I love this place, you guys are great. I took me a long time, but spam isn't my thing)

    Here's another one of those lame getting-to-know-you posts. What hobbies do you guys have outside of EDM/[ms]?

    I love playing golf and mountain biking. In the summer I will do each 2 or 3 times per week. I started MB'ing about 3 years ago, but it wasn't until this year that I really got into it. That said, I'm HOOKED. I love the sport, it is great exercise and amazingly challenging and fun, especially for me since I have terrible balance. There are some really nice trails in my area, and many more I haven't even tried yet. It's basically your standard cross country, trees & rocks-style single track, with pleanty of uphill climbs and short little decents. It's great to get off the beaten track and see some nature, as much as can be found in NJ anyway (we're not talking Maine or Wyoming here)

    I've been playing golf for years and was even at time lucky enough to belong to a pretty nice club here in NJ. Funds don't really allow for that anymore, but I work in the industry so I find my way on to many top courses, and have played about 15 of the current/one-time top 100 in America. I play to a 14.3 index, although I think I can play with anybody, I also make too many stupid mistakes. Golf is a cruel mistress and she pisses me off almost as much as she brings be joy. At the moment I'm actually glad the offseason is beginning as I have no interest. But I always come back, and those first warm days of spring will find me teeing it up once again.

    As far as music goes, I do tinker around in Reason 2.5, but I have a very tough time finishing tracks. Oh well, maybe someday (yeah right).

    So what are you guys and gals into?

    i watch a lot of (proper) football. big tottenham fan. grew up just south of london and it was hammered into me at an early age.

    i also read quite a bit, about 3 books a month (depending on length.) currently reading "the river why."

    i play xbox, but i go through phases... im playing quite a bit right now because i have a couple of new games, but sometimes i will go months without touching it. my roommate does nothing but sleep, work, and play video games, which kinda annoys me, so i think i have a subconcious contempt towards them, but they are fun at times.

    i also like to have sex as often as possible. and i drink beer quite often.

        Still ride my mtn bikes and used to race norba but now at my age I just hit the local trails in search of the perfect off camber turn, switchback and white knuckle decent. Love golf but golf doesn't love me (mid/high 80's on a good day) and play ice hockey (none of that roller crap) twice a week to stay in shape. Aside from all of that I live a block and a half away from my friends pub where I can get a proper pint, a jameson and one hell of a burrito all for less than $15 bucks...... emmm, burrito.

                I cant mountain bike...im just so out of shape. I am thin yet have no strength or skills anymore. I went for a 5 mile bike ride not too long ago and I was DYING on the way home, red face, i even got a headache i think from blood pressure who knows. I joined a gym so i could be more in shape, but i am lazy so i dont go. Soon I will make it a priority...i dont wanna be an unhealthy thin girl cuz thats no good...you have to be healthy and thin Sex only goes so far for excersize haha

                I like to read! I like to play with my puppies and train them...not sure if that counts as a hobby per say. I like to do fix it home projects...my last one was over the summer in which we built a garden wall and lots of plants. I need a new project, im restless. I like to paint...not paintings but rooms and ceilings lol. I like to cook a LOT, trying new recipes is fun for me.

                        - i watch a lot of college football and the MLB (go astros/braves).
                        - i play tennis, golf, softball and mountain bike.
                        - i have a salt water fish tank that is a great hobby to have. kind of expensive, but well worth it. it is a very soothing thing to have in your living room. i'll post a picture of it when i get home. anyone else have a salt water tank??
                        - i get to travel a lot for work... that isn't much of a hobby, but i do like to travel.
                        Should I fuck you at that not until the ass, inject then tremendously hard bumschen and to the termination in the eyes yes?

                          so ummm what if we do not have a hobby outside of music. When I am not listening to it I am writing it.

                          Oh wait! I study the Bible everyday.

                          Hmmmmmmm, but does that count as a hobby or an investment in my future?

                              I buddy of mine had a 70gal (100+total) salt water tank, but just broke it down last week and is crossing over to fresh water (50lbs+ of live rock, a few fish)

                              the salt was rusting all of his tools, and the tank cost him a fortune in time and money
