[Help] I want to start a hobby. Updates to this post /post/262005-i-want-to-start-a-hobby Mon, 07 Dec 2009 22:49:54 +0100 Reply from Dr. Ralph /post/262005-i-want-to-start-a-hobby#reply-4919881 Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer are great Mark Twain books but not what I enjoy. He wrote a lot of narratives about living in the wild west and being a steamboat captain on the Mississippi River back in the early 1800’s. That to me is extremely interesting. Try reading “Roughing It”, it gives you a real feel for what life was like 150 years ago. Hunter Thompson’s best book is “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” or maybe “Hells Angels”. These guys were real genius’s and funny too.

I’m OK at it. It’s a really good way to practice though. Amazingly improves skills at soccer. I should do it more often.

Thanks for the idea! :D

Do you play often then?

Thanks. I do read quite a bit actually. But yeah, I should take it to a higher and more involved level.

Any suggestions on enriching books?

Thank you very much once again.

Yes true. Apparently, the feeling that “I am sexy” is what attracts others. And building body or possessing large breasts gives a person that feeling.

Lol. Err… That would freak out a lot of my friends. And it’s not in my interest either. (I am scared of most of them, but ants… Love those.)

Thank you nonetheless.

Hi there. I do play soccer, in fact I am sore from the overexertion I had to go through today. I love this game though :)

I am really interested in computers and philosophy… Anything in that line would be amazing. I tried to get into robotics for a while, too expensive.

Thanks for the suggestion. I already play an instrument though (not great at it.) And I feel playing music is not for me, I am not persistent enough.

Yeah… I don’t want to look inhuman. I’m in OK shape anyway.

Thanks for the replies.

Any ideas on somethings that require more brain work? Thanks again.
