Solo Russian Roulette is my personal fave. Just joking of course.


Football.... I am depressed now that it is over.


Beer.... I am officially a "beer snob." I drink stuff most people have never heard of.


Asian girl looking.... well the wife is Japanese so I don't have to look far, but she expects my eyes to wander quite a bit when we go to a Chinese restaurant. Asian women are so sexy.

Comic books- I love my comic books. Pretty much anything by Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Ed Brubaker, Paul Jenkins or Neil Gaiman, i'll read. As you tell from my choice of writers, i do prefer DC comics. Batman, The Watchmen, Hellblazer, The Sandman, Swamp Thing,Gotham Central, Gren Lantern, DC comics and their more mature based comics line, Vertigo just rule. As far as non-DC stuff,give me Frank Miller-era Daredevil, Todd Mc.Farlaine-era Spider-Man or Sin City, too!

Pro Wrestling- I loooove my wrestling, and i've been an avid fan of it since i was about 3 years old, and the love has never died at anytime. Someday, after i'm done with school, i'd like to persue something in wrestling, like be a manager or something. God knows i've got the love to do it.

Writing- Poetry, album reviews, game reviews, editorials, journal entries, eulogies, you name it, i've probably done it. I love writing.

Football- I don't play it, because of not being blessed with the athletic gene, but God knows i love watching it. Go Broncos!!!!

Video Games- Not as much as I used to be, by any means, but i still play with what i got, buy a new game or two once in a while, and frequently keep up with the ever-changing business.

Radio Broadcasting- I dream to have my own show one day, and I'm so happy, i've actually had the oppertunity to do what i dream of doing, albeit for 5 minutes a day and also once for a single one hour shift, and i didn't get to play what i would like to play, but i did it, and i love it even more. I also listen to the radio about 7 or 8 hours a day, and i frequently keep up with the always constantly changing broadcasting business. And next week, i'm gonna start doing my 5 minute newscasts again, and i can't wait. I just fucking love the radio.
 
Beerdrinking.. hehe. Festivals and concerts are my biggest hobbies.


Serious hobbies would be reading literature & philosophy
I have an electric guitar but I need lessons so I hardly play.
I don't sport, let alone move :lol:
 
Well, lemme see. Here's what occupies Uncle Ted's time when he's not playing or listening to music:

FATHERHOOD - not really a "hobby" but it is my life.

FOOD - I loooooooooooove food of all kinds. Especially Mexican, BBQ and raw oysters when available. (though I ate a dozen once and only 11 worked...hehe) and Sushi is my new favorite but damn it's expensive.

TV- I love Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Supernanny, The Apprentice, American Idol, The Simple Life, and Anything on VH1 especially STRANGE LOVE! Flav is my man!

Movies - love to watch a good dvd. Favorite of all time is SLING BLADE.

Guns - I like to target shoot.

Motorcycles - Dirt Bike, Suzuki 125 though I don't get to ride it much anymore

Internet Surfing

Cats/Dogs
 
Beer and Whiskey drinking. I dont know where you live in Kentucky Ted. But like here
in Indianapolis and in Newport Kentucky they have a place called the Beer Sellar and on
Sunday they have half-price pitchers on some really good beer! Franzkainer Hefe-Wiezen comes to mind very quickly with a touch of lemon delicious!

Horror and Sci-Fi movie watching recent fav's are Shaun Of The Dead, Ichi The Killer,
Ju-On The Grudge (which is twice as better than the American version), Chronicles
Of Riddick(horrible acting but very good visuals haha!) Dawn Of The Dead, House
By The Cemetary and so on.

Video Games-I own a gamecube and I dig playing Time Splitters 2 and Namco Musuem
I love Galaga Arrangement and Pole Position on that game brings back some old memories!!
 
I should go into my hobbies back. But Im getting lazier and cheaper every day. When I'm not working I'm roaming the Internet.

I used to do more stuff like:

reading (sci-fi)
exercising (gym)
craft modeling (airplanes)
cinema

At least I got a DVD player so now I can exhange one idiot box for another and see movies and videos.
 
Well, lets see. I work about 6 days a week, so that leaves little time for hobbies but when I do have time to induldge I usually do a few things.

1. Be with my girl friend. I love her so much and enjoy every minute with her (Laugh if you want I don't care)

2. Paintball. I just bought a gun 2 weeks ago and I freaking love it. It is damn fun.

3. Video Games. Duh, doesn't every male enjoy video games? I am in between games right now.

4. I don't know if this is cheating, but I do play guitar.

5. Movies. I love em, just as much as music. There is something about them that just rocks. It's just cool to see how some ones ideas can go from their mind, to paper, then to film. Right now I'm watching James Bond: The Spy Who Loved Me
 
I'm busy building up a RZ 50, cause I had one when I was in school, it's almost finished. I also like to bodyboard, skateboarding and the occasional golf. I'm a big Grand Prix fan and can't wait for the new season to start. I also like to watch cricket, today is the last day of a series against Engeland and we kicked their asses good, we've already won the series so tommorow the barmy army can go home.
 
MOVIES! I love movies, watch videos & DVDs non stop. I rarely check out recent films though for some reason, dunno why but I love older ones. As far as my movie interest goes, I have a film & television degree because that's what I wanted to study at uni coz I love it so much, I collect old-school horror videos (everything from Hammer Horror to run-of-the-mill slasher flicks to video nasties & exploitation films), I'm thinking of starting up a production company here and churning out mega low budget straight to DVD comedy/horrors, I also love 80s teen flicks and sexploitation stuff haha, classics like Taxi Driver, Death Wish, After Hours etc which are some of my all time faves, and I have a thing for Australian films too. Oh and Italian horror is my fave stuff of all time - Dario Argento & Mario Bava!

TV - I don't watch it that much anymore coz there is so much shit on (I HATE reality shows which we are swamped with now!), but I can't get enough of Seinfeld, M*A*S*H, Fawlty Towers, Father Ted, etc. I love comedies, especially British comedy. Also, this is music related as well though but still TV related, I LOVE video clips, I could spend all day watching '80s rock clips, and I just finished producing the first video clip for a local band here called The Deadthings.

Drinking (Jack Daniel's is my fave) - Haha drinking seems to be a popular one. Not so much a "hobby" but it just goes without saying that when I go out on a Saturday night or to the strippers on a Thursday, I'll end up pretty hammered and enjoy it too. I have had VERY few bad drinking experiences and the only ones I have had have been from when I drunk beer (which I don't anymore coz I don't really like it and it hits my stomach before my head, I'd rather feel drunk without feeling sick than feel sick before I'm drunk!).

...and I also love cats. :)
 
Yeah I think you mentioned that before ted that you dont drink sorry I forgot.
Louisville is a nice town indded. Deja-Vu is a nice club if you know what I mean!
Yes The Beer Sellar has some good food. One of these days I want to go to Newport
and visit the Hofbrauhaus I love German Food and Beer I was stationed in Germany
for a couple of years many moons ago. Oh I forgot going to metal forums like this one
and metalunderground.com is one my hobbies too as you folks can probably guess!

WRITING: Already have one book out, and putting the final touches on the second and already have a third one ready to start. It takes about six full months to write a novel, so when I'm writing that's a major time hog.

READING: I love old school Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Robert McCammon. I prefer folk-oriented suspense or horror stories, set in small towns. Don't care much for spaceships, lawyer stories, or spy/espionage because I have a hard time relating to characters and settings. Currently on a Larry McMurtry kick, after recently reading Lonesome Dove (one of the greatest stories ever) for the first time. Never was much of a western fan, but I am now.

NASCAR: Loved watching Richard Petty back when I was a kid in the late 70s. Been watching religiously since 1990. Even got to do a two year stint in North Carolina as a NASCAR internet reporter, which was a dream come true at the time.

DRINKING: Oh yeah, I'm very experienced in the drinking hobby. Long time partyer from the 80s. Beer only for me. I have a hard time keeping track of my buzz with hard alcohol, and I'm a guy who likes to get really buzzed but still keep his wits about him. (My music time usually coincides with my drinking time, I love to get buzzed and rock out)

TV: Old sitcoms like Seinfeld, Friends, MASH, Rosanne, King of the Hill. NASCAR, of course, and NFL after NASCAR season is over (just time for the play-offs). Only other tv I might watch is stuff on A&E, Discovery, History Channel, etc.

MOVIES: I like high budget flicks because they have the quality actors and technology to suspend my disbelief (pet peeves include bad acting and cheesy effects). My tastes run in the same vein as my books; folk-oriented suspense and horror. Fave movies include: The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Angel Heart, Secret Window, Butterfly Effect, LotR Trilogy, Jeeper Creepers, Nightmare on Elm Street 1, The Stand, It, Lonesome Dove and a ton of others.

If I'm not involved in any of the above at a given moment, likely I am either eating, sleeping, shitting, bathing or running errands.
 
Fuckin' Nintendo emulators for my iMAC OS 9 and X (Between?!) Virtua Gameboy, iNES, SNES9X and ROMS (Nostalgic GAMES), Buttman John Stagliano Evil Angel big tits and gaping asshole, anal cream pie porn, Eastern euro bitch whores (Hungary and Czech Repblic) or any good looking women with good sence of humour and likes 6tons of sex, Anime, Manga, sick gore mother fucking horror and sci-fi films, comic books, super heroes, robots, bikes, cars, liftning weights, football (Soccer you fucking yankee wank!), food, Progressive rock like Gentle Giant, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Punk Floyd, pop stuff like Billy Idol. Art I draw, paint, illustrate, adobe illustrator, photoshop, image ready, macromedia dream weaver, flash, quark xpress computers...

Enough said! \m/ (~~) \m/

Much like the Latin channels here in the U.S. especially the chicks on Don Francisco... mucho caliente.... :hotjump:
 
Running. Mainly distance running. I run my first half marathon in early May.

Beer. I love discovering new beers. We have beer tasting weekends often.

Outdoors. Anything having to do with being outdoors when the weather is nice. Hiking, camping, biking, running or just sitting outside next to the river, relaxing.
