Spare Time.

Post by JMEaT »

How do you spend it?

I walk, surf the web, game a bit when not hanging out with buds.

I work on cars, play piano and since recently, bass. I fix things for friends (usually computers, to my greatest annoyment). I usually go out at nights to grab a cold one at a bar or go to the movies or something.

Plus I do some domestic stuff, mow the lawn, clean the pool, drive the little bros to the sport club, etc.

I also like to do nothing, since I've been studying my ass off for the resits till a few days ago.

I study, mostly. Cooking, Greek, math, philosophy, or origins... whatever strikes my fancy. :)

I play games a bit, too, when I'm in a less productive mood.

Additionally, video games and random philosophical pursuits.

Free time? What's that? College, thou all-consuming devourer of time doth remain with thee always. Other than that, my limited spare time lately has been spent reading or playing instruments (piano, guitar, bass, vocals, etc.)

What is spare time? Between work, grad school, raising a kid, and a marriage, I don't have much.

Family Stuff:
Swimming in lake with kids. Building blocks with 1 yr old. BBQ's (just finish my dream brick BBQ, it's a bit wonky but i'm dead proud of it) Model planes with 8 yr old. Quickies with the wife.

On me Own:
Song writing. Gardening. Reading. Carpentry. I've just started to scour the net about Bonsai trees, i think i'm going to have a dabble in that at some point soon.

Needless to say i don't have much free time but me and the wife make sure we give each other "time off" to go and do each others fing, it's important.

Spend way too much time on the computer, and when I'm not doing that, I:

Am hunting around for antiques (we collect/refinish old trunks), working on finishing the house, building something.

My whole life is spare time. It really is!
And I either spend it making the mod for Battlefield Vietnam, working on Descent 4, working on Galgemeth 4, playing Battlefield Vietnam, Playing Diablo II, talking to shitheads on the instant messenger or posting here. And sometimes I entertain myself with a joyous walk outside where I observe the werld and use my experiences as a base for video games.
oh yeh and trying to get D2X working.

And taking the dump. Come on, everyone enjoys dropping the boys off at the pool.

i'm with sage.

my whole life is freetime (MY TIME), sometimes i take time off to work, just to get $.
it's the way it should be.

i live my life fulltime.

anyway, most of my time is spent online (researching/dealing with communitys/philosophising/philanthropising), and/or reading. (i really should add traveling to this list, you know, just driving somewhere, middle of nowhere, then driving back. but atm i'm not doing this)

i'll make money-grabbing my primary adjunct as soon as i figure out a way of making money doing what i love.
until then i prioritise spending my time doing what i want/love, and making money will just stay as a side hobby ;).

Currently my free time is used up on Gran Turismo 3. When not playing that, I'm teaching a younger friend how to drive in my car(which irks me...) or studying drifting techniques. :P Occasionally I get a free Sunday to do some SCUBA diving and brush up my skills again.

When all those other things have failed, I sit in my underwear watching the Weather Channel.

That's just free time. My non-free time consists of going to school, working at a tv station, and doing chores.

My free time gets split somewhat evenly between writing and video gaming... Well, that's not counting those D&D sessions that start at 9:30pm on Friday and end around 4:30am on Saturday. Nerdy? Hell yeah.
