Hobby Haven

[AHH who-stole-my-name]

I've always loved to talk about what other people do to entertain themselves and this can be any form of entertainment as long as the effects are of a relaxing nature. Reading a good book or seeing a good movie are equally welcomed as skydiving and archery.

Being a truck driver, I really don't have that many options to work with, so I normally just get on the computer and see what's online. I have a very vivid imagination and am into computer games, such as Skyrim, the Fallout and Far Cry series, as well as a few of the Dungeons and dragons stuff, but those are pretty much gone now.

When I was a younger I was really into role playing games like D&D, Aftermath, Traveler and the like, but what really interested me were the lead figurines that you could buy and paint up to use as your characters. They were really cool and the detail was excellent. Here are some I've found in magazines.



I also got into military miniature and had entire tank and infantry battle from every period from WWI, WWII and modern warfare, which we used a bed and sheets with pillows under them the simulate terrain features. I would show you some images of that, but my computer is acting up.

Have a wonderful day. Kevin

I don't have much in the way of hobbies. I've moved so many times that I keep my possessions down to a bare minimum. I live a lot like a monk. I do read a lot though. Reading and tinkering with my pistols is the extent of my hobbies.

I admit I enjoyed Far Cry Instincts Predator, I loved that game!
I enjoy reading, walking keeping (somewhat) fit, TV...FOOD!
I like exploring too - especially whilst I am on holiday; love to see the sights.

I'd love to own a pistol. In my country weapons are tough to possess due to strict laws; the closest I have got is a spring powered BB gun. Our laws dictate is cannot look real so it is bright orange.

You could always start with a paint-by-numbers kit. They are a lot more elaborate then they were years ago (it's the only way I could paint a picture that wasn't stick men) when we were kids. Would you believe this is from a numbers kit?:

Being an old guy; my hobbies are limited; but one is surfing the web and trying to help people on-line; mostly to get closer to Jesus; but that can be to also help them do what they want. Maybe you could join a young peoples group at your local church. Here is a site with 35 suggestions of hobbies for women; altho you may want to bypass the pole dancer.

I was thinking about my hobbies over the years and how they have changed; used to be all outdoor stuff; hunting, fishing, riding motorbikes, etc. But now it's more the laid-back things like; riding around in cars looking at all the beautiful flowers, cherry and apple trees, all in bloom now in the Pacific Northwest; and the vibrant green grass fields; which makes our long winter of cold and rain worthwhile; I like the rain too.

One of my other hobbies is surfing the web, helping people find encouragement in Jesus; thru posting scripture with scenic pictures, videos of songs and also humorous images and videos in different forums (altho some forums; like the debate and politics ones have no sense of humor)...and I can post these videos; all day long; I mean ALL day long:

I'm talking about ALL... day... long:
