This is a great thread.

My hobbies:

1. Painting/Drawing - I've always done, came naturally. Wished i had taken some classes to improve my skills but never had an opportunity or cash. I have 2 pieces at DA right now. Working on a lionfish.



This ii older pic of work. Almost done. Media is watercolor and pen/ink

2. Paintballing - Just recently started it. Nothing serious, packing a Tippmann A95. I try to go at least once a month, but recently haven't been out due a small motorcycle accident, I say small cuz I'm still alive. Me and my buddy on the hunt...



3. Fish/Aquariums - Been doing it seen I was 9. My largest tank was at the age 13 a 150 gallon tank for my Silver Arowanna. Most exotic fish was an octopus. At one time I had 7 tanks running. I had to downsize in order to pay for college . My last tank was a 9 gallon which leaked all over my apt.



4. Falconry - I really want to get back into this. Haven't found a mentor so never went forward with it (yet). One day, I want to hunt with a crested eagle. Me holding a red tailed hawk.

Sweet! I have tons of the same hobbies! I was a drummer for years, I live by the Chesapeake Bay so I'm a harcore fisherman, I have about 30-40 some shot glasses I've been collecting for years, just go out of my aquarium hobbie and I played paintball with my Angel for about 10 years.

Thanks

I need to work on my photography skills big time. Nice pics Kevin.

What a fun thread, it's great to see so many diverse hobbies and at the same time, so many in common!

Besides snakes I am addicted to video games, playing Xbox360 all the time.

I used to collect Sailor Moon, sold 1/2 the collection off a few years ago on ebay, still have 1/2 left but it was disheartening seeing these special puzzles, action figures, stickers and such being sold for a fraction of what I paid, let alone all that time I spent hunting through obscure little japanese shops.. oh well.

Sold off all the other action figures in 2002 but kept my comic book collection.

I also draw, don't do as much as I would like to and want to get back into it.




ps another Windstone fan here as well!

Holy crap! I forgot about Sailor Moon. I use to get up like an extra 30-40 minutes earlier when I was in school so I could catch it. That and Dragon Ball Z were my favorite shows then.

What's your gamer tag on the xbox? Mine is 'Focal Z' if anyone wants to add me. I either do FPS's or RPG's.
