Hobbies next to music?

Hmmm... aside from music (been playing guitar and drums for a decade) and audio engineering, I have a whole bunch of hobbies and interests: electronics (been diggin' into the DIY territory for a while now), gaming, photography, high end pc cooling/oc’ing/benchmarking, graphic design, philosophy, psychology, Japanese culture… and I think that’s about it. Typical geek, I know :lol:.
 
-Reading (books and comics, I'm a huge comic book nerd)
-Gaming (Tabletop rpg's and pc)
-painting

I wouldn't call being a father a hobby. It certainly eats up a lot of my time, and is very fulfilling, but it's not a hobby exactly.
 
I've got 2 other.
1 - football/futsall (soccer to US). Every week twice, training and competition
2 - Slotcars. Yes the small cars on a track. I've got a nice collection of Scalextric tracks combined as one big track. The track is around 30 meters, I've got 10 cars, and it's digital. So up to 6 racers at once on the track.

Music is my favourite tho!

Dude, Yes! I have been into Slotcars for years but have recently "retired" it as a hobby coz my music just takes all of my time. I got about 100 cars and have built 3 permanent tracks (every time i moved house). I love setting up the cars - techy nerd!:rock:
 
Cooking - Even though I am now a corporate type with large pharma, I started my life cooking. I went to culinary arts school and it is still my passion (my wife is one lucky woman - I do all the cooking in our home). I worked in several restaurants until my mid 20's then a medical issue forced me to change my careers so back to school I went. Mediocre food is like mediocre sex, it's just not worth having - Eat, love, be happy.
 
I like
Eating
Sleeping
Watching basketball, soccer, hockey, and football.
Hanging out
I'm obsessed with training
Reading up on different training methods and periodization
Watching movies in other languages.
Goin on drives into the abyss.
 
-Skateboarding
-Cycling

That said, Skateboarding is no longer a serious thing I do about 20 hours a week like I used to, it's just every few days or so for an hour.
Cycling is usually about 5 times a week (it would be 7, but I gotta account for bad weather, not feeling so up to it etc), and generally takes up an hour or 2 of a day at most.

Other than those 2 things, I'm honestly just pretty consumed with music, be it listening to it, playing guitar or bass guitar, writing music, or studying AE stuff. Maybe it might seem like I have narrow interests to some people, but meh, it's what I enjoy.
 
Well, I try to keep myself busy
  • Football and futsal (6 times a week, non-professionally)
  • General exercising (strength, bicycling, inline rollerskating, walking)
  • Learning languages (I speak 9 at least a little, going to learn Chinese and Polish properly)
  • Reading books (scifi, horror, spy novels)
  • Photography (landscape & party)
  • Cooking (food and sweet stuff)
  • DIY projects (woodwork mostly)
 
played football, for a long time (the american one, I hate soccer)-not able at the moment since I broke my elbow last year.
Cooking and eating, I fucking love food, I cook everyday for me and my girl and I still love it.
Reading, especially about food...
I think you get the idea, I am obsessed with good food and learning how I can
make things by myself.

Oh and I am interested into design and photography, but I'm just to poor to buy me good photo equipment.
