So what do you do for fun besides sit on a pc?

[RazorGTR]

I often wondered what others that are net or computer junkies do besides sit on a pc way toooo much (guilty).

As you can see by the pic and mods listed of my car I am into high performance. Nothing besides a good woman gives me as much of as rush as being forced back into your car's seat by out right power.

I also race it when I get the chance.

The other thing I, which I have not done in since coming to New Zealand is fish. Very relaxing and enjoyable but that is about to change very soon.

Well I spent last weekend in Taupo helping time cars in a regularity trial, or im out with mates, or what ever I feel like doing.
Theres plenty more in life than sitting in frount of a PC.

[Heep]

Have coffee with friends at Tim Hortons, wash my car, set up a lawn chair on the sidewalk of a busy street and watch cars (with a friend), listen to music...not much else...

well i used to ski as much as i posibly could but now that i go to school in North Dakota thats pretty much out of the question so i just hang out with buds, do homework, and fly for the most part. pretty laid back life i lead! :smoker2:

Well when I am not postwhoring away or making up my study notes (aka getting my arse off the computer) I like to:

*Hang out with Alex and our good friends - we go get coffee, play pool or video games, or just sit back n shoot the breeze
*Pampering the Green Beast...some people probably think its retarded that I care for my Neon more than most people care for their Cadillacs, but it's all I got and it's MINE. I am pretty much done with modifying it, but there's a few little things left to do. When that's all done, just take care of it til I part ways with it.
*Design cool stuff on the computer..oops that means I have to be on the computer again huh?
*Digital photography...I like to snap pics of cool stuff I see around
*Aquarium Fish...we have a 46 gallon tank with lots o little fishies. We had 6 gorgeous discus fish but they kept fighting so we sold them back to the store. Everything is all natural...plants etc.
*Video games....something I haven't done much of, but now with the new Game Cube I am picking up that controller again
*Working out..something we just started this week...dunno if that would be classified as a hobby, although I am enjoying it so far
*Relaxing...I don't do this enough, but life is short. So once in awhile when nothing else is going on, i just like to kick back and clear my head

so many different things i enjoy doing from time to time...

- Martial Arts. been doing it for over 17 years now, jun fan, kali, wing tsun, karate, aikido, jiujitsu, kendo, tae kwon do, muy thai, and even some american boxing.

- Ballet. dont laugh. it helps the martial arts skills. my girlfriend is still wiggin from finding out i have been in ballet for 8 years now.

- Music. from simply listening to superbit recordings or actually playing. i play a bit of guitar and piano, and mix on my computer.

- Cooking. i love to cook. usually in combination with some good music, from Vanessa Mae's reditions of classics, to Lords of Acid, from Metallica to Dr. Dre, i pretty much listen to it all. as for cooking, i enjoy preparing japanese cuisine for my girlfriend, as she is the epitome of american, and has never experienced most eastern dishes.

- Reading. i hate books, but i'll research topic i may be interested in at the time and read for days about it.

- Writing. from online articles to words never to been seen within my journal... i enjoy writing, and practicing many different styles.

- Tuning. anything that has a motor and wheels... i just like to tear it apart and try to get it back together without any "spare" parts. installing new parts for the car also adds to a bit of excitement as i get to pamper my other baby

- Racing. active autocross and road racer... autocross develops and fine tunes my skills while road racing allows me to truly put it to practice.

- In depth discussion. i'm the kind of guy who likes to go to the local starbucks and just chat it up with the college kids in there. a bit on my curiosity in sociology and psyche, i like to listen, to talk, and to watch reactions.

- Coffee... nothing beats a good coffee break at Starbucks with a good mag or paper to keep up on current events.

- Movies. Quentin Tarantino flicks. i like to see his representation of everyday conversation within his films. i guess this goes along with my curiousity for psych/sociology


i guess that pretty much sums it up, besides all the crap i enjoy doing with computers.

Ahhhhhh, you big jessie :silly2:

As for me, I just surf during work so every evening I train for my sport. Which is kayaking, I'm on the National Squad here so I train pretty much everyday. Lift weights Mon/Wed/Fri and train on the river on the other days. That doesn't leave much time for anything else, 'cept the girlfriend and I work on my car whenever I get a chance. I mountain bike once a week too, helps with the fitness
