Interesting hobbies....

So I had a realization today whilst talking to a friend online.  In the pursuit of lofty corporate goals I have basically lost all of my hobbies other than snark.

The friend in question seems to have nought but hobbies.

• Seasonally she's a grunion greeter
• She's an avid baker
• Occasional horticulturist 
• She's spun a few scarves, and welded some jewelry
• She took up surfing, and dare I say it ...even blogging
• Amateur Mycologist and Bee keeper
• And then... she has a tendancy to go on a trip and pick up a few more

As I spoke to her, I began to realize that I really had none outside drinking and eating (at which I excel)

I used to ride a bike, go hiking, play squash, play dungeons and dragons, kickball etc.  

So every once in a while I make a plan.  This year I'm not just gonna get some hobbies,  I'm going to upgrade.  Harsh 3.0 from  Harsh 2.0 which came in college when I started working out again, started wearing better clothes, and realized I was gonna get a good job and go the corporate route.

In order to attain the next "point-oh" I'm looking at an overhaul of lifestyle completely.  Superficial and internal.  In no particular order

• Get a couple cool bags to finally carry all my stuff for travel and walking around
• Get a bunch of stuff to simpfy my life, and manage my junk
• Manage my to dos
• Learn a language
• Write regularly.  Articles, position papers for work, whatever just something to keep the mind busy and capture my occasianal flame of brilliance
• Stay on top of the tech I like
• Listen to music.  I'm gonna find out new stuff I like and start buyng it on amazon
• Hit the Gym.  I'm about 5 lbs overweight now and slow as hell.  Time to go back to the gym, play squash, take up running
• Learn about wine
• Improve business skills: Managment, Accounting, business models, etc

I figure I'll get about 50% of it done if I give it the old college try.
