Just thought I'd see if anyone wanted to share some hobbies or things they're into. I think most people on here know I'm pretty big into photography. Maybe I should claim UP as a hobby seeing how many posts I have on here. :lol: I also get a lot into other cultures. Music and history of different areas and so on. I know some of you have even mentioned things before. Now I'm giving you a chance to tell us more about it. I guess I should follow my reccomendation and explain more about my hobby of photography. I've always enjoyed taking pictures. My family didn't really like travelling a lot when I was young. But luckily we lived in a state like Arkansas where there is a really nice state park system. I think seeing this when I was young is what helped get me into photgraphy. To be honest I never thought a whole lot about it but I noticed more and more people seemed to like some of my pics. I began to realize that maybe even though I've never really taken any classes or studied it that maybe I had developed a little skill over the years. :D

I like learning about other cultures as well Mith. I've been getting into Caribbeann culture, where I've been listening to music and such. I also like to weighlift three times a week.

I was expecting you to respond but here I thought you'd mention pottery. Although I guess that isn't a hobby for you at the moment. I admit I haven't looked too much into Carribean culture yet. But I'm still slowly working my way around the world. I'm currently in the Middle East and North Africa. I haven't decided to eventually procede into India or head over into sub-Saharan Africa.

In my spare time, I practice my banjo. I'm very interested in Bluegrass/Folk music, and have been for the past few years. I finally came up with the money to buy a banjo this past fall and I love it.

I also like to cook. I started learning by working in a few different restaurants, and I was a chef's assistant for one summer. When I have time, I like to try new recipes and make things from scratch. Of coruse, I prefer Southern-style cooking, and love using the iron skillet. I also just plain like to eat. My wife and I love to try new restaurants whenever we can.

I travel when I have money, but I've never been out of the country.

Um, I'm also a big fan of marching bands. I was in the Razorback Band this past fall, and marched with the UCA Bear Band for about 4 years. I've retired from that, though. I'm just a spectator.

I like reading wikipedia. Just whatever strikes my interest at the time, wikipedia has something about it.

I also love Apple Computers. That's not really a hobby.

As most of you know, I do listen to a lot of Trance music. There's not a whole lot of support for it here in NWA, except for may'be Fayetteville at some of the clubs. Anywho, I am an amatuer DJ right now and I hope to be DJing within a few years.

I like music, joined a music frat in college because my tuba section leader told me to. I was in the RMB as well.

I like mountain biking even though I haven't been in a while.

Probably more than anything keeping up with sports is my main hobby.

I love beer. When I say love I mean I love the experience of trying something new and different. I've come to appreciate the complexities good beer has to offer.

Also, when I get a chance I love Simcity 4

Wit Biers, American Style Wheats, Pale Ales both American and English, Brown Ales, some porters and stouts

Basically anything good that isn't a lager, but mainly ales

Ditto!

For me...reading (lots and lots), music (just about everything), film (classics, independents and international), hiking, broadcasting my ill-informed opinions on various online forums... I play guitar and bass, so I do that some daily; it's a great way to get rid of whatever aggravation 8 (or more) hours of gainful employment generates. My geeky goal for 2007 is to see how many different countries' literature I can read at least one book from...

I just noticed this topic!

Weather is my main hobby! Back in college I used to storm chase quite-a-bit but I don't have too much time to do that anymore just a few times a year now. I also love football, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and KC Chiefs, but I will watch just about anyone. I also enjoy watching movies, playing Texas Hold'em, drinking beer, and messing with my home theater.

I also like keeping up with developments in Fayetteville and all of NWA. I would have to say that UP has become kind of a hobby for me as well.
