I find myself oddly unsettled lately

Consider a physical hobby

[andrew_the_oga]

You could take up martial arts, or blacksmithing. Although I'm more opinionated than informed about both activities, I think I can speak with some authority when I say one can spend as much time as one has free, getting better at either one, or both.

Andrew beat me to it, I was going to propose going on a fitness kick.

If you joined a gym on the west end, with the intention of going some evenings and were looking for a partner to help with motivation....I would be your man.

[thegreymouser]

Sadly, I fail at "with the intention of going". Working out has never appealed to me.

Yes, yes - I know I should have more fitness in my life, but working out at the gym isn't the answer to me.

[hubris2]

I've found the motivation to begin has to come from within, but it's a lot easier to continue when you have a workout partner....somebody who expects you to be there....where you'll feel bad if you aren't there and they are.

yeah, me either.

[ironymaiden]

I should post more often.
yes.

i wonder what happened to your dog, and if you kept taking bass lessons...

this is another thumbs up for martial arts. but i also endorse yoga, rambling dog walks (now that the days are lengthening) and playing a musical instrument.

do you have a console? what about Rock Band, either doing the solo tour or playing with your son?

[buhrger]

and if you kept taking bass lessons
i also wonder this, which may (or may not) answer the question...

[thegreymouser]

Actually, the bass is a good idea. Some time ago, I bought bass lesson software that I've been meaning to open. Now if I can only remember where I put it...

[thegreymouser]

The dog was delicious.

In all truthiness, I haven't walked the dog as much as I like during this winter. Now that it has been less cold, I really should amend that thinking.

You missed all my Rock Band updates on FB. I'm a Rolling Stones Immortal, you know. Now if I can only master drums on medium...

[ruarri]

If you come up with a good hobby idea let me know. I could use one as well.

[locketportrait]

I bet if your new hobby was a group thing, you'd stick with it and also enjoy it more. Or, at least for me, those are the hobbies that seem best at not becoming chores as they go on.

And yes, you should post more often.

Tell him

[andrew_the_oga]

...he should take up blacksmithing. He could come make, uhm, more tongs!

Re: Tell him

[locketportrait]

My tendency is to suggest knitting, generally, but blacksmithing could work, too.

[buhrger]

one wonders if they could be combined...?
