I'm really bored. I need a new hobby. Like seriously guys.. You're my hobby. But I can't have just the computer be my hobby. I mean.. that's no good for my health! And that's not what you want!

So give me some ideas. I'm drowning in boredom here. (Not here.. like ATT. Here as in.. where I live)

What to do?

I purchase enormously expensive photo equipment and then never really learn how to use half of it. For instance, I have a Mamiya RB67 medium format camera that I haven't the faintest idea how to use and have never actually taken a picture with. I wouldn't take on such a hobby as this.

I also purchase lots of expensive precision firearms that I never actually shoot anymore (not enough time). They're kinda' fun to look at, but I'm not really accomplishing anything with them. Probably shouldn't do that either.

I also drink beer. Not that thin muck found at the local corner store, but proper beer. Craft beer. Now that's a hobby to take on.

Those three things, sleeping, eating, porn, and posting here pretty much covers it.

Lately, most of my time has been spent at my job, hanging out with my friends (like, in real life!), and on Facebook. When Facebook gets boring, I come here. It's a simple, yet enjoyable lifestyle.

Also, I've been reading Harry Potter 7 this week. I need to finish so I can participate in the various topics here.

Hmmm, he linked to his profile, dare I add him...

I found reading to be a decent boredom reliever, whether it be novels or webcomics, or even browsing the archives of Bash.org. I might suggest video games but the consoles are becoming pricey these days.

You can always build complex mechanical devices, like a computer or some speakers. Doing anything is better than nothing.

*Sets to work*


It's funny that I work at a store where 75% of what is sold is alcohol. People ask me for advice all the time and I'm like.. "Uh.. I'm not old enough to drink..."

Usually I get one of these responses:
1. Oh.. I'll buy it anyway.
2. How are you not 21?
3. You look 21, heck I'd buy you a drink!

We get some awesome people in the store..
Whatever happens..happens.

When I'm really, really bored, I go play in traffic...but that's besides the point.


Maybe you should cruise downtown for a few hours, (If you have the right car.) If you dont, buy an old classic musclecar for $200, learn mechanic work, and breath life into it. Should keep you busy for a year or two.

'Tis what keeps me sane... most of the time. =)

Yeah, it's legal. As long as you don't sell it.
