Non-gaming Hobbies?

[bichettehappens]

Outside of the obvious hobby we all share, a passion for sports gaming and keeping up with professional/college sports, what are some of your hobbies?

Searched and couldn't find a "hobbies" thread within the last year, figured I'd start one up

I'm going to try to get a glider's (sailplane) license this coming summer. Very much looking forward to that!

Weather is a huge hobby of mine, but I also plan for it to be my future career, so I'm not sure if that really qualifies as a hobby.

I like model trains, but not much is going to be done with that until I get out of college and get space for them, which won't be for four years.

Star gazing.....I always loved looking at the planets and stars.

When I was a kid fishing. Hell I haven't went fishing in probably 12 or 13 years.

- Comic books

- i'm in the sports broadcasting trading hobby. Now before anyone flips out it's not illegal in fact, there's been prominent articles with one being done a year or so ago in ESPN The Magazine.

- Watching old movies. I tend to watch at least 3 old flicks a week.

- Taking walks in the summer.

EDIT: Gotmadskillzson mentioned fishing when he was younger. I used to enjoy fishing as well. I hope to get back into doing that sometime next year.

I am a serious petrol head. I am putting a cold air induction system on my Challenger RT Classic. I have already changed the gearing and tweaked everything a little bit. I am pushing 427 bhp with a little over 400 ft. lbs. of torque.

Beside that I love my comic books and I watch way too many movies.

3d modeling/animation. I am not too good at it but I enjoy it. I always loved cartoons/animation growing up but when I first saw the Listerine/Tarzan boy commercial I was like whoa!! I fired up the Amiga and thought, what do I do now. Unfortunatley I still ask that question most of the time.

Aviation. I love airplanes and like to go to good viewing spots near airports to watch landings and takeoffs. I can see a plane in the sky, if it's low enough, and tell you what kind of plane it is. I would like to learn how to fly one day.

Outside of gaming, It'd playing the Guitar, writing and recording music. Occasionally i'll break out a pencil and paper and draw a bit.

Movies and writing. Other than gaming, watching sports, or partaking in an illegal activity that is a favorite of mine that's about it.

Watching sports and beer were the first two things that came to mind.

Could you elaborate on that? I am just curious. I googled it but nothing really came up.

Every now and then I'll break out my telescope and look at the stars. I've always loved looking at them and learning neat details about them since I was in Elementary school.
