Your Other Hobbies?
It occurred to me that folks probably have other interests other than baseball cards on this board. So I ask, what are your other hobbies? I will share a couple of mine with you, amateur stuff but far cheaper than collecting cards. I like to draw and write. Here's some samples of my stuff:

---------------------------------------------------------
Gloom Collector
When sadness leaves the body,
It falls fifteen feet below the earth's surface
Where it is collected by a little old man
and stashed away in a dusty wooden closet
Yet he is less busy now
as modern techniques allow
green buckets of sadness
to be gathered by waste disposal trucks
and dumped like shattered glass into the earth's core
Only the Devil knows what's going on in this inferno
and maybe that's why I make so many mistakes
------------------------------------------------------
What are your other hobbies?
Thanks,
J

Re: Your Other Hobbies?
I don't do it as much anymore but I love doing techno remixes of songs. I've also done some original pieces too like one where I used the sound of air escaping from a balloon to make a dance track. It's one of favorite pieces along with a Star Wars piece with a dark side theme. The light side themed one really sucks like most of the stuff I come up with.

I hunt for Treasures in the ground
My metal detectors and some of my old coins I have found
Gets an old guy off the couch

Leatherwork. Keeps me busy and helps pay for cards, too.

Playing harmonica, music, and painting. Here I am up on Highway 61 where Bob Dylan used to hang out before he hitchhiked to New York and did it up !

Re: Your Other Hobbies?
cool, seems like we have some musicians on the board.
one other thing i've been involved all my life has been traditional vietnamese instruments. my father was a director at the national institute in saigon when we were still over there, i started learning a few when i was about 5...and when we came over he started an organization. we have about 100 members now from 5 years of age up to 65. i help out in conducting the children band ranging from 7-13 yr olds.
here's a pic of me and my dad way back and a couple of the instruments:

jamie,
do you just do sketch or full-blown paintings? i suck at drawing/painting but really admire those that can. took art history in high school and the whole deal...would trade anything in order to be able to paint and express myself.

Quan,
I've done some painting in the past, but I think you can see through my greyscale vintage pickups that I prefer drawing
I'll PM you later with some advice on how to get started... it's not too hard.

yea ray, you probably saw the chinese erhu on the subway...our vietnamese version is basically the same, just a higher pitch. like a cello to a violin.

Re: Your Other Hobbies?
Nice thread guys, good to see we have some other musicians on the board.
Music was always a hobby of mine too....until it became my job. I teach music to grades K-10 at an international school in the Dominican Republic. I also teach world history, which I enjoy a lot.
Since settling here 14 months ago, I've taken up surfing as my hobby. It's a challenge...especially during the big swells...but I'm slowly becoming a decent surfer. Great Saturday morning activity (just got back from it actually!)

Re: Your Other Hobbies?
I totally forgot about by other hobby, cooking. I started up a small business selling BBQ sauce. I make a southern style sauce that you don't see around here in MN. People here always look at weird because they are used the the tick and gooey stuff you get a Famous Dave's
Re: Your Other Hobbies?
My life seems to consist of work, baseball cards, baseball and watching sports. I do bowl, spent much of my teens and early 20's bowling until I wrecked my wrist. I still bowl in a league but don't take it serious, just a good excuse to get together with friends.
Great stuff Johnny, not only good rap but decent acting.

Re: Your Other Hobbies?
new hobby i'm picking up is photography...hey if i can't draw something beautiful maybe with the help of technology i can capture it
. seems like it's alot more complicated than calling a card with 2 creases and rounding corners VG instead of G but maybe someday i can take photos for hugh hefner (or trick girls into thinking i'm taking shots for the guy...might need good lawyer down the road)

Re: Your Other Hobbies?
Ray, seems imageshack does not like leather belts, are they forbidding them or think they are too S&M for a photo hosting site?
One of my other hobbies is guns, of course they are locked secure in my safe all of the time. No rifles, just handguns. Am a member of a gun club and they have an awesome indoor shooting range. Number one rule is and always will be safety.

Fixed it, Mark. I had forgotten I'd posted the photos here and deleted them out of photoshack.

Re: Your Other Hobbies?
Lemme know if you ever have any 'pre-production' questions, cameras or whatnot...I have a photography background, but have put it aside for awhile. My girlfriend is the photographer in the family now and has a pretty stacked photo-editor resume to boot. Her website = http://www.lisacorsonphotography.com/ ...

Good thread, love the coins found; walking liberties, barber dimes and nickels, great hobby. The art, and music is surprisingly good.
I like to hunt, and fish. Deer, and elk season starting soon, but I prefer fowl. Salmon run on the Columbia River this year was the best in twenty. Always nice to be outdoors.

Now hunting is what REAL MEN do. Someday I'd like to try it.
Ray, have you got a website for your leatherwork?
Thanks,
J

LOL...it's not like i carry a 44 mag on me everywhere i go...i just don't trust the police to protect me and my family so i just do it myself. I am sure you guys heard of the murders in a home in Cheshire CT in 2007, scary stuff.
