Anybody Have any Hobbies?

[Drew83]

TweetI like photography, i'm not that great but i'm learning. I enjoy my dogs whether it's training, swimming, hiking/snow shoeing with them. They actually reduce my stress almost as much as the gym. I'd like to start going off roading with my jeep but know i can't afford repairs so thats going to have to wait for now until i find a job in my field. I spend a lot of time reading too

Tweethey apollo that is a great hobby my man. i would love to get into that but since i have well over 10 years in the marine corps. that has damn near ruined any chances of me wanting to be on a boat or camping for fun. i do still love to shoot and teach people how to shoot.

TweetJaydub, I'm gonna PM you something to check out. What is your fasvorite style of playing?

Drew, you're not that great perv photographer who had some awesome spy shots of poo nanny are you? LOL! What do you enjoy photographing?

Guns, though not for nearly as long as you- I was in the Navy and with the Marines but there is no freedom on those boats or camps. When there's no mission and no threat- one can relax and open their eyes to what's around them and see things as nature intended. No thinking- just letting things be and watching them or being with them. When I just observe nature I learn, am excited and at peace. I sat in the mini van the other day at a marina and watched the eagles soar and play in the wind on a very gusty, windy day. This is what it taught me. The eagles could'nt control the wind(too powerful) but they controlled themselves in the wind and that was their power. They let the higher power have ultimate control, and chose to control what they could their own actions within the wind- the result was them enjoying the wind and themselves: harmony. It was amazing to watch.


Big K - I am with all you harley riders- I like to ride and smile and be friendly with bikers. It really gets on my nerves when as soon as a person gets on their harley they become instant badass with bad attitude- When I'm on mine- I'm just myself but enjoying the ride. Waterfalls! What? That's cool as shit. I always thought about doing that. Do you got any fish in any of them? How fancy a waterfall?

Geezer, there aint no need to come on here braggin- LOL!

Ketsugo- very informative but why did you want to lear so much about fighting? And spend your life involved in it? What do you know of love and/or relationship without fear nor agression?

FUZO- do you not make the pottery too?

Harley- shit- that's all of us man. That's a hobby I'd like to quit. LOL!

Rocco, I'm comin back to you bro but see my reply to guns above for now
about the Eagles. I gotta get sleep! But I do wanna ask you some things.

TweetI love to go Trout fishing... My grandpa used to take me all the time when I was young and now my son and I go. Just very relaxing to me. Can fish all day and not catch nothing but very relaxed afterward though.

I can appreciate any style of playing really. My heart is in heavy metal though. Obviosly the guitarist who's style I'd admire most would be the late great Dimebag Darrell... Ballsy, from the gut, full of flavor.

TweetI restore cars, and I play Blackjack professionally.

By professionally I mean that I don't play into my losses, and that I am a card counter. It isn't full proof by any means as it is glorified to be, but it DEFINITELY helps against the house. I make more playing blackjack in 15 hours bi weekly than I do my 80 hours bi weekly paycheck if that says how well I do.

Sadly I don't get to enjoy it though.

It pays student loans....

Tweet***I meant play into my Winnings. You can't play into your losses. Sorry, 8AM here. lol

LOL I hear you - I get the same thing- I guess people have a hard time understanding self discipline. Yes I have dedicated my life to training and education. Even as a yong lad. I never went out partying - Dont drink or use recd drugs never have. You are close on one point. Ive only been with 4 women in my life. My current girl 7 years. My first date was at age 18. Between age 22 and 33 - due to being enlisted, my training and school- I never had a date or even a one night stand- So I guess you could say I lack experience in that department, but I dont feel like I missed out on anything. No Benning . There was also a period when my full time job was working at a half way house - where I would arrive at 9pm pour the morning medications, then go to sleep, wake up at 6 administer the meds, make breakfast for 12 people then send them off to day program so 7 hours of my work day were spent sleeping- therefore I could fit in training and school. Of course being around soldiers too- training and teaching opportunities grew as well - I always tried to set up my environment to include training- thats bodybuilding/weighttraining along with combat training. As a child I practiced the popular karate, TKD, Judo , Kenpo- then when I grew up and realized how limited those were for what I need I practiced a whole bunch more, Yeah I fell into the fallacy that Brazilian Jujutsu was good for real situation, but In reality its a very poor means of self defense- Its a sport, its made to practice in the confinds of rules and in an enclosed ring, Every real method of self protection should have offensive and utilize weapons - in the history of man - that has been the law of nature. Koryu- Bujutsu , Silat, filipino kali, particularly use of bladed weapons whether it be knives , swords, machetes or even using a credit card to slice tendons and arteries. A knowledge of anatomy. Back when these so called martial arts were used in battle before guns or bombs were available- they wore armour to protect from these weapons. Punching and kicking were rarely used as a means of fighting because the body was protected. Only the joints were exposed with these armoured bodies- therbye exposing the joints to bone breaking or the arteries to being slashed by a blade. Of course I dont and most will not teach children these ways- thats where all the judo , karate, tae kwon do and kenpo became so popular past 50, 75 years- people dont get that. Jigoro Kano created judo from a synthesis of jujutsu so his dream of teaching children in elementary school could be realized- he also invented the dan ranking system- (colored belts) The Gracies learned from Kano at the kodokan- hence BJJ really is a style or hybird of Judo and jujutsu really is not rolling around using holds or groundfighting. Jujustu was a method of koryu bujutsu- old school methods of war. Everything we see now with colored belts created in time of peace is a means of gendai- budo- with a very different intent of training. I have done both extensively. I have paracticed methods indigenous to various areas of asia- My intent was always to protect oneself from death in war. If I enter a school and saw people doing push ups or jumping jacks- I walked out the door. I know how to exercise so I never wanted to pay in class for more aerobics. You go to a school to practice timing distancing and how to work principles and concepts with another body. The ones that kill and maime. I was never interested in trophy or ring fighting. However ignorance is so rampant. I remember that even the military began using these wrestling bullshit until terrosists began kicking the shit out of everyone with penjcak silat and kali type methods of fighting. Just another example of pussy ass liberals running things. Man I need to stop I could write a novel everyday, especially cuz Ill get 10 guys who barely know what they are talking aout want to argue with me because they belive the bullshit lies. Shall I go on?? LMAO
