Just wondering what else everyone around here is into?

My main hobby is fixing up and modifing my Dodge Ram 4X4.

I like practicing my martial arts - Wing Chun Kung Fu, Chinese Kenpo Karate and Yang Style Tai Chi.

I also am really into macro photography. This little guy is no bigger than 3mm.

I do a lot of saltwater fishing in the Gulf. :tu: I like checking out car/truck shows. Not so much classic cars but newer cars that are modded.

BTW nice truck. :tucool:

NICE pic Kenpo Fist! I like spiders... :D I used to collect garden spiders and make 'em fight on a stick when I was a kid.
I like photography too. I like Macro as well as Landscape photography. It's been a while though. I need to upgrade my equipment. My ZLR is about 4-5 years old now...

I also like collecting comic books, watching Anime & drawing.

I like to draw Daniel Moore esque pictures of anything that pops into my head. lately they have been centered around Bama football! (and i guess you would have to know who and what Daniel Moore is and paints, to fully understand! :doh:)!

I've just taken up a new hobby, and am absolutely loving it. Maybe not for everyone, but I would suggest anyone into fitness give it a shot!

Swing dancing!

So much fun, and can be a pretty good cardio workout too! I'm still a beginner, but its really not that hard. Give it a try! The most fun I have ever had with my clothes on :tucool:

Despite my wife's displeasure at it, I go online and duke it out on some WW 2 battlefields in Day Of Defeat Source, or huge modern day battlefields in Joint Operations.:rolleyes:

(I should be getting my ass out to auditions, or boning up on my HTML and CSS....:spank: )

Radio control planes. My current passion is triathlon, but RC planes do a great job of filling in any gaps I manage to find in my free time.

Say Skoorb, my nephew has a huge thing for airplanes, got any recommendation for any good models?

May be a bit out there, but:

I like electrochemistry (have a mini electrochemistry lab in an otherwise abandoned bathroom), Poetry (featured reader this month!), biking.

I would really like to get into R/C planes- I used to be, but destroyed hundreds of dollars of stuff, so i decided it wasnt for me.

Also designing jet engines for my bike- only knowing I could never get a production run that could support the oxy/fuel combinations i would use with a price tag less than a new car.

Pulse detonation engines are the future :)

I used to be into cooking and baking, but I'm finding that I tend to eat my food quite a bit simpler now with a lot fewer sauces, and very few baked products, so that one's kind of on the back burner.

It's too bad, because I like creating things, but I have trouble coming up with worthwhile ideas. I tend to jump from obsession to obsession. I used to be addicted to Roller Coaster Tycoon, because I was fascinated with the idea of profits and crowd control (you can make people happy!:p)

I'd like to write, but I can't come up with any concrete ideas.

I've been getting into gardening, but it's not as satisfying as I would have hoped.

"I'd like to write, but I can't come up with any concrete ideas." - Who says the ideas have to be concrete? It can be fun to get cought up in a web of ideas, and just as much fun getting out of the web :)

I have a friend that has built several pulse jet powered vehicles. He has a pulse jet go kart and a wearable pulse jet he uses with rollerblades:eek:

He was part of Survival Research Labs for a while too.

He also was on Craig Breedlove's crew when he attempted to break the land speed record.

I had a link for video of his kart, but cannot find it atm.

It does seem photograpy is a popular one.

I've been shooting for 15 years now. I shoot a variety of things, but I really enjoy fashion/glamour.
