What things do you guys do to go out and be social?

        I'm not much on alcohol so the bar/club scene is of no use to me. I'd love to find a class, workshop, or league to join, but that's proving difficult in the dead of Winter.

          Yeah, that's a decent idea. Also see if their are any adult league softball teams or something you can sign up for?

          Even if you aren't too high on alcohol, going to a sit down type sports bar or something and having a beer or two throughout the night (or a soda) for sporting events isn't too bad.

            We're members at a small neighborhood gym in our area and we don't utilize nearly as much as we should. I mean I'm in there 4 days a week. But I work out shower, get out. But they have beer on tap (Cheap at that), Flat screen TV's. Nice lounge chairs. Great kids care. Just really great place to hang out.

              I do. And only one. I was looking at classes it offers and nothing really grabbed my attention. I'm almost half-way done with my round of Insanity so I probably shouldn't take on something crazy yet. I was thinking maybe like a kickboxing class or something like that.

              All the adult sports leagues have you put your own team together. I don't know of anybody who plays any sport much enough people to put together my own team. My goal is to do co-ed kickball next summer/fall, but I would love to get into the men's basketball league by the 21st.

              I've thought about doing the sports night out for an NBA game, but there are no sports bar in this god forsaken "city." The closest Buffalo Wild Wings is 30 minutes away and even sober that's a decent drive.

                    Now that most of the shows that I've been watching are on breaks I think that I'm going to pick this up.

                    I spent this weekend watching the first two Lord of the Ring movies, finished Max Payne 3 and watched UFC last night/football today.

                    I still have to re-watch The Return of the King, then it will be Homeland time.

                        Anybody else notice how much of a hive mind society we live in ? Too many people go with the flow instead of against it. This is something I noticed over the years. Get enough people not liking something and people instantly don't like something and start to see things that really isn't there. Kind of amazing and weird at the same time.

                        I see it everywhere, from music to tv shows to clothing styles, video games, dating, etc. It is as though people never lose that, "I want to fit in" way of thinking.

                          Find where the leagues are and just say you're looking to play. They'll find a team to put you on.

                            Agreed. I did this last year for intramurals on campus and I still talk to a couple of the guys I was on a team with. It worked out fine.

                              Yeah, you have people that always go with the flow to fit in, then you have people who always go against the flow just to NOT fit in. Why not just do what you like, wear what you like, and listen to what you like?

                              I have a buddy that likes obscure bands, but the minute they get any fanfare, or god forbid get some radio play, he immediately turns on them.
