RE: I have a lot of time on my own - so I have a lot of hobbies

in #drawing7 years ago

I know how you feel at times, although large crowds give some anonymity so I actually kinda like them, but I get it more in medium sized groups. Mostly because I dont want to talk to people. Strange huh?

I pass my time playing computer games and making music or practicing piano or guitar.

Sort:  

cool, I quit computer games long ago, although my hands still itches sometimes haha, I practice both piano and guitar growing up too, but no access to both now. I always think music is my life, but I can't make any music at all. I hum and sometimes play randomly but never really bothered to write it down, not my thing maybe haha.

Why did you quit the games? Get too absorbed? I certainly do :)

You could probably find a cheap guitar or cheap usb keyboard somewhere. If you are looking for a long term, rewarding and fulfilling hobby, you couldnt do much better than 30 mins of piano or guitar a day. I taught myself, just got a chord book and leaned the basic chords. I cant say Im very good but I enjoy it lots :) been playing for many years now so am very comfortable playing what I make and like and thats all that matters to me.

cool... my current job requires that i travel often, so can't be carrying a guitar along. But i do have a harmonica to keep me company, and recently i learned some blues and how to bend some notes

Harmonica! Nice :) I wish I could play harmonica but wind instruments are something I can never quite get the hang of. Im glad you managed to take something musical with you. I think creativity is important for every person on earth.

it is! and i'm glad the Internet brings us all together haha :) imagine back in the stone age haha~

I suspect we wouldnt be so anxious in our stone age alter-egos, not in the same way, no time to feel anxious when your tribe has to follow the herds and watch out for predators and rivals :)

Do you ever get the urge to go back and continue working on those wooden sculptures and models? They are really good!

Maybe, I get excited when I see a nice piece of wood haha, but don't have the right tools. My boss has a workshop but he prefers steel work, so maybe I'm thinking to try some steel work haha
