Yesterday a funny man died.

I'm not laughing.

Hobbies

Like all people, or at least the ones who count I have hobbies.

However mine fall into a wide range of areas. I don't really know how the rest of the world's hobbies spread themselves out but mine are over a spread.

So my quick and dirty list.

History, economics, politics, world events and geography.

Books, mystery, fiction, fantasy and sci-fi.

RPGs, writing, storytelling.

Cars, racing, building, restoring, engines and stuff.

Camping, drinking, parties, women, fun and stuff.

Thinking.

Thats a lot of spread, a wide variety of things. This blog has been pretty much about being self aware and expressing my thoughts in their liquid form. I should start other blogs to discuss some of my other hobbies. I have one that I have had for ages that I had stopped updating that I should revisit.

If our personalities define us, and make us individuals, then what are our interests?

Filler? A way to push away boredom? The safe answer would be that they are a part of us, of our individuality. I don't like the safe answer.

Safe is not as fun.

If more people had it, it would be better.

Some things in life are universal.

Some things are not.

And some should.

Being positive is hard. We define everything by what we are not, we find flaws to fix, problems with our neighbours, our friends, acquaintances, well everything and anything.


But being positive lets us appreciate what is around up and what good is in that place. The grass is green, leaves are out, trees are tall, sky is blue, house is big, bar is stocked, car is green, but...

...see I'm finding fault, being negative acting in my nature.

Being positive is hard.

But I work at it, because it is important to see the good.
