Title: What's your passion...?
Post by Jackie on Aug 6th, 2003, 5:48pm
We had a thread, not long ago, on jobs/careers.  It was interesting to read what folks here do for a living. :D

What do you all do for fun, hobbies, special interests, sports, etc.....either now or in the past?

What's your passion......

My current rut/fascinations include:

Guitar stuff and music theory

CD collection, especially my extensive true heavy metal collection

Insect taxonomy and other matters involving biology and animals

I've been known to take time out to watch a Formula 1 or Indy race.

Many things dark and mysterious

Well Jackie I just asked Buddy and Deveny what I did for fun besides talk to my cluster friends on the computer and phone and go meet them. Their reply was (both at the same time) that and work in the F$CKING Yard.  I have fun working in the yard and on the house.
I also enjoy walking down the dirt road here. I love being outside and sitting in my swing!

The most fun I have is making people laugh!

Making handmade gifts.  Like to design the gift to kind of suit the person.  Doesn't matter what the material.  Wood, cloth, clay ... just thinking about them the whole time I am working on it brings a smile to my face.  I also happen to have a fetish for power tools !!!!!!  So ripping and rebuilding is another hobby.

Acting.
Right now that consists of 2 or 3 shows a year with the Crighton Players http://www.crightonplayers.org/main.htm at the Historic Crighton Theater....mostly comic character roles....and whatever strange gigs surface from my reputation...like this weekend...I'm being paid to appear at a kids birthday party as the embodied spirit of a pirate...with as much realism as possible....I'm sure photos will surface.

and

Whatever my son ADAM is interested in...which presently means playstation, Computer Games, WWE wrestling, Monster Trucks, Nascar, Disney's bevy of teenage girl hotties (he's got severe CP...so I hold them down while he has his way with them).

and

Playing with Georgia.... which often means talking about y'all and researching CH.

and

Amateurbation...I hope to be a master some day.

Title: Re: What's your passion...?
Post by Woobie on Aug 6th, 2003, 11:02pm
This is a very ironic question.. because lately, I've come to figure out that I HAVE no passion.   I go to work - I come home, am on the computer for maybe an hour.. sleep, I go back to work.  I have no time for anything else but keeping this family semi-happy.  

And I've noticed in the past few weeks, that I need something of my own.  It seems everyone has something of their own..

i do not drink, I dont do any drugs, I dont go out and party, I dont gamble (being a dealer at a casino - takes all the fun out of gambling)... I dont do ANYTHING...

it's frikkin amazing to me to actually realize that I dont have a life.    amazing, and depressing.  I dont know what I like.. I dont have time to like anything anyway.  I am not crafty.  Dont have time to read...

Maybe this thread will help me with my problem.. reading what others do to entertain themselves.. maybe I'll get some ideas.

ps -  for those who care -=- i have not left.. just still trying to catch up (got wayyyyyyyyyy behind when i moved, and then was out of internet because of a storm, and working a different schedule now.)  

Cannot seem to catch up, but lurk every day to do what I can.  All the pics of the convention made me sad... i wanted to go so bad.   You all look like you had a good time...

Dont post much, cuz lately, I haven't had anything to say ....  good or bad, that's where I am.

tina - who needs a life... :-*

LMAO!!  it USED to be a cool job - but after 8 years, the drunks jerks kinda get to ya.  The outfit makes me look like an overgrown pineapple... and the noise.. OMG - the noise.  I have to come home and be in total quietude.. or i go frikkin insane.   I hear the slot machines in my sleep.   It hurts your feet.. standing for 10 hours, and having arthritis, it hurts to even deal anymore.   I am turning into one big pain in the assholio.    

Everyone thinks it's a cool job.. and everyone who is in the business thinks it's cool too.. for about the first 6 yrs.   After that.. it's just a job.  The lights and the noise, and the action.. just another brick wall you have to stare at - 10 hours a day.  

Do you know how hard it is to be in a good mood for 10 hours, even if you aren't?  And to try to talk to people who are losing their money, and make them not care?    Our bosses say "you are an entertainer.... BE entertaining..."   It was easy to do for the first years... now..?????

or maybe I'm just hatin life right now.....
maybe I'm just in a "FUNK".    
maybe I'll get over it.

Post by Carl_D on Aug 7th, 2003, 8:32am
My greatest passion since I was an infant is MUSIC!!!!! They say when I was a babe, if they turned off the radio, I would wake up crying; so they left it on all night and during naps.

Now, I am an accomplished musician of 23 years. I listen to everything under the sun, but prefer to play heavy music. Ask Jonny, he has heard me on the git-fiddle over the phone. I also have some of my songs I wrote and recorded by myself on a 4-track recorder..check 'em out at...
Mp3.com/former

I eat, sleep, breathe, drink, sweay and bleed music. An old banhdmate from years ago and I have formed a new band called "Act of God." I came up with the name, because it took an act of god for this to come together. Mike runs both a computer business and recording studio out of his home. He is our rythm guitarist. "Dr. Jim Christ...a.k.a. Mike Rogers, is our computer tech and bass player. Right now we are suffering from what I call the "Spinal Tap" syndrome, and can't keep a good drummer. Our last one had to quit as both of his parents are in ill health at this time, and he needs to be with his family, so I am doing the drum tracks on our recordings. We should have the "ActofGodband.com" site up and running soon with new pics and mp3's for streaming or download. I take pride in being the lead singer/lead guitarist and primary lyricist.

My other passion that ties in is writing. Been writing poems and songs since I could hold a pencil. I take out all of my frustrations and pain in music and writing. I wrote a few short stories, and as some of you know, am working hard on becoming a full-fledged author, with my first book being a fictional account of a young man named James Wyatt Evans who, at age 26, begins having cluster headaches. I am drawing from some personal experience and hoping to capture the harsh reality of CH and its effects on a sufferer and those around him. My goal is to both educate and entertain people at the same time, and possibly get a good publishing deal. I am anxious to finish this book for many many reasons. One reason is, I have suffered many set-backs on this project to the point of being both sorrowful and pissed...this baby is long overdue!!!
Another reason is, I am anxious to start my next book. I already have plans for my next 3 books. I know, I am long winded...hehehe.
"The Vigilante Code" is about a man who goes away to college to become a school-teacher. He returns to his hometown only to find that it is filled with gang violence. When a tragedy hits too close to home, Gary Walthers and four friends make a pact to take thier town back from the thugs and pushers. What Gary doesn't expect is to fall in ,love with a young prostitute he will either save, or be brought closer to death by her.
"Dead Mans Cove" takes place in Butlers Cove, MO. After ripping off a cocaine dealer, the bloodthirsty hustler gets his revenge by ordering a hit on the house. What the four assassins don't know is they have thier work cut out for them. The night of the hit, the couple are having a party, and everyone in the house is slaughtered; but one man survives. As he slowly begins to recover, he is continually haunted by those who died that night, and they want revenge - through him. They will get it, or he will go insane in the process.
"Maximillian Wood" is a story of a young boy who nearly drowns, and suffers mild brain damage as a result of lack of oxygen to the brain. The near death experience also leaves him with a special gift: the ability to heal others. Some call the boy a gift from God, but once the government learns of the 'miracle boy' they set out to capture the boy for scientific study.

Okies...that is my passions. All of you know how frustrating and angry CH can make a person. Instead of taking that agression out on others, I take it out in my art. I consider myself very fortunate to have the creative outlets I do. And yes, I am a bit twisted. I can't help it. Blame it on the fact I was at 14 a 4th level dungeon master of D&D who loved planning adventures. If you were to partake in one of our good ole 4 day summer D&D binges, you knew better than to fall asleep, as you would die and everybody else would divvy up yer stuff. We were ruthless.
Enough of my incessant ramblings. You can wake up now and go back to sleep.

Pf days & nights to all,
C. Franklin Daniels

Being more sedentary these days, I like to build model kits from the '40s and '50s. Right now I have two Hubley cars underway, and I am struggling with a Marine Models Swordfish.

My passions----Hmmmmm

I love my job as a real estate agent, but mostly I love to be off work. So I can cut loose.

I love the Mississippi (I live right on it, Its like being on vacation all the time.)

Bud Lite

Drunk sex (doggie style)

My one year old Jake and my other two Zach and Molly, and of course my lovely bride of 10 years

Drinking while boating--Just got a new one

Drinking While laying on the beach

Drinking while camping

Tubing while drunk

Going to nascar races and getting wasted

Going To PACKER games and getting wasted

My New Thing is Karaoke of course I like to drink a bit and sing wow I'm bad at it to!

Most things I do I like to drink while doing them.

Most People that live on the river drink all the time, Its not unusual to see your neighbor in the yard at 9am on a wednesday with a beer in his hand. yelling something stupid like, "Take off your pants and lets dance" or "Ya wanna beer--cause ya can't be a girl thingy all your life"

As I type this I'm thinking to myself WOW I'm a effing Drunk LOL--But the truth is I work most of the time and really only drink on the weekends, but I make it good when I do.

Being in cycle really disrupts my life.

Mine, from when I was a 5 year old,

Books and reading.

Then came languages.
Then cvame science fiction and fantasy
Then came translating science fiction and fantasy.

It is what I get paid for (very little, more's the pity)  but I tell you, I get to have Zen experiences in translating that Masters would give their begging bowl for...


Then there is jig saws and solitaire and pictures from the cosmos and science fiction convention and telling other people what's good for them and, and...

I think I was bored once, last year. A Tuesday I believe...

Racing radio controlled scale model cars, anywhere anytime ... I got started racing with my son back in the mid-80's, but when he quit due to getting a "real" car I kept on racing. The little gas powered 1 horsepower jobs are the snitz! The hobby satisfies that manly urge to "take something/anything apart and pretend to fix it" and gives me an appropriate place to be "too damn competitive"! ... also a great excuse to shop on ebay!  ;D

Passions are (besides my kids, of course).

Hummm, it's boring as hell...

Playing Guitar : After 15 years of playing the first seven notes of "Smoke on the water", I decided to take some lessons this year.  I stink but I enjoy it a lot.  Carl, I envy you, bro.

Golf : That I started at a young age and I still can play OK (best excuse to drink beer withour getting too much tired).

Sailing : Used to have a sailboat and I am now dreaming of having another one.  I miss it a lot.

Wally-ball : It's volley-ball in a racketball court where you can use the walls.  It's wild.

Hockey and Football : Don't play anymore but I still get a kick out of it.

That's about it... Take care gang!

I know Jack, he use to post here and give me shit about smoking.....Jack don't post no more and its a shame cause he was one of my buds.....even talked to him on the phone at length.
If anyone knew shit it was Jack, the man from Babylon.
I told Jack that I liked to smoke and I didn't want to quit and spend the extra 10 years I got from quiting in a diaper shitting myself, Jack was speechless but that's Jack.
Anyone remember Jack?

OK...couple quick stories then I'm off to the lake house.

When my sister was expecting her first baby we were talking about names.  There are lots of Jacks in my family....Daddy was Jack,  nephew is Jackson and me Jackie.  We thought she should either name the baby Jack or Jackie.  She said NO.....you see her last name is HOFF..... ;D  And that's the truth. ;D

I was introduced to a new shooter at the gun club.  His name was Richard Holder.  He shook hands with me and said...."You might as well call me Jock Strap....everybody else does"..... ;D  And that's the truth too. ;D

OK, Elaine....here ya go :P

Golf - I've played that silly game all my life..not much these days though..to busy with other passions :)

Snowmobiles - raced them when I was younger but decided to quit that...had kids to raise and decided it would be easier without a broken neck ;D  Actually the winters got so mild there wasn't enough snow.

Drag Racing - my brother & I ran a super comp car on the NHRA circuit for several years.  What a rush!!  We traveled all over the country.  John Force IS really crazy but I loved him... ;D  I restored a 71 Vet roadster during that time too...whew, that was work!

Bass Fishing - Blake taught me the skill and we fished lots of tournaments together.  Fishing is not a relaxing sport...tournaments are 8 hours of fast and furious action but fun too.

Bird Hunting - the best part of that is watching the dogs work.

Interior decorating and design - we completely remodeled this house last winter...for the 4th time.  I do it for friends and family too.  

Skeet Shooting - I love the game.  Turning a target into smoke is instant gratification..especially when you run a straight... ;D  Tournaments/competition is great...you travel all over the country and get to meet wonderful interesting people.  Women get no special consideration either...it's heads up with the men.. :)

I love my family and friends and would do almost anything for them......as long as they behave... ;D

That's about it....... ::)  (for the most part)


Come on, gang.....list some more of your passions.  I enjoy reading what "turns ya on".

OMG....I think I'm in love.  Boy, Jacks.....would you fit in around here.  We golf every weekend, bass fish as often as we can (we are moving to the lake), I've bird hunted all my life (quail and dove), I have actually worked as a decorator.....and we pull out the clay pigeon machine pretty often.

OK Roxey and Jackie, ya'll go play golf I will be the caddy ;-)! I love to fish, but I like to sit on the bank and fish. I usually wind up with catfish!I throw them back in LOL! So ya'll go get the fish and I will cook them. I don't like guns but I can shoot, was taught by a policeman years ago, but I can't kill anything, but I do love to eat quail. You two bring the game home and I will cook and eat it!

Jackie now I use to love riding a mini bike when I was growing up, I had three brothers had to keep up with them. I use to like to ride mortor cycles but I can't hold them up any more. They are two heavey. I do love to ride  mopads when I got to FL! Stop laughing you two!

My real passion is wood work. I love to make things. My favoret place to shop is home depot ! If I ever get another table saw  I will live in the shed ;-)! Now I want a table saw, Buddy is going to make me stay off the computer if I keep this up!

Wow, Roxy....that is so cool.  You live in a great place from bass fishing (longer growing season and good food chain.  The bird hunting is great there to...so I hear.  Can you keep the snakes off your bird dogs?
We need to hook up the boats, load up the shotguns and meet somewhere.... :D

My Dad says I'm made out of barbed wire and horse turds.....I think you are too... ;D ;D

Oh....check out my shotgun....it's the Plantation Scroll Nickel.  Those folks do beautiful engraving...it shoots good too.. :D   http://krieghoff.com/pages/2.4.2/pages/2.4.2.html

I used to hunt with my husband.  We had a beagle who could give you chills when she picked up the scent.....what baying!  I loved it.   Love Beagles.  
We did a lot of fishing.......small time stuff...crappies, sunfish, pearch, bass....I did all of the rowing while he trolled.

Ever see the catfish at Pymatuning Reservoir  in Pa?.........so many begging bread from tourists that ducks walk on their backs.  I'll try to find a site on the net......unbelievable.

Right now, my only passion is reading.

What with working a 12 hour shift from 7pm to 7 am, I guess my second passion is sleeping.  My biological clock is all off and I want to sleep days and nights now.

Well, make that three.........ch.com fills the inbetween.

Passions.....hrmmmm...

 Where to start?
Bird Hunting (incl. Waterfowl) nothing like being in a blind at the crack of dawn and hearing the ducks 'n' Geese waking up or the cackle of a rooster pheasant warning his hens of approaching hunters.


 Fishing damn near any freshwater type....Walleye, bass and crappie mostly.....hopin to do some salmon fishin soon  ;D

 Airbrushing ahhh my art....

 Trap shooting.....gotta love it (nice gun Jacks) my old Winchester 1200 isn't near as purdy but shes a workhorse. :)


 Music collecting......gotta have my tunes. 8)

 so much to love and so little time dammit man I gotta get rich so's I can spend all o my time doing the things I love. >:(

Passions?  Hmmm well aside from my family, programming, computers and OUCH.  Those are the things I am most passionate about.  Things that I sit down to work on and 12 hours later I still think it's only been 5 min.

Other things I like to do:

Reading, Swimming, Sailing (I used to race 32ft C&C class, those were the days) anything to do with the water really, talking ;), ummm I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them right now.
