What other obsessions do you have?


It's obvious that many of the people here have gone off the deep end (yes I include myself) with equipment and music purchases.

The question is what other obsessions do you have, or what else are you really into?

I was getting carried away with Martial Arts before an injury sidelined me, I would rather ride my motorcycle than drive, and I spend way too much time on the computer (most of it on AudiogoN). If I had the money I would have a bigger and better collection of wine. Other than that I'm perfectly sane! NO really!!!

Cars, digital manipulation, Quake 3, art & design, mixed martial arts competitions, history, and Latin women.

Ahh, it's nice to be back, if only for a moment. Work has been crazy.

One of my passions other than audio is computers. I make my living as a digital retoucher and am grateful I get paid to do what I love. As Marco knows, this is the reason I haven't been in the A'Gon forums for a couple months. I am just plain swamped right now!

Another computer related diversion I enjoy is playing Quake 3 Arena online. It's a first person shooter game and I play against people from all over the US and around the world. It's nice to know that I can frag with the best of those high school and college kids.

I've also been having fun lately with Apple's $49 iLife suite of consumer apps for making movies and DVDs. I've been digitzing and editing a lot of programs I recorded on Tivo.

I love world history, especially pertaining to ancient Greece, the Mongols, Egypt, and the Middle East. I just purchased some neat books about the Mongol invasions of Europe and the Middle East from England.

As a whole, I also enjoy learning about things sometimes foreign or counter to the American perspective. Either in history or modern politics.

Although I've been in the graphic design field for over 20 years, I also love interior space and furniture design.

Maria Grazia Cucinotta. Sophia Loren. Roselyn Sanchez. Need I say more?

When I returned to this thread and read the fire and lava this once benign volcano of a thread began spewing I was ready to nominate Gullahisland as the president of our Snobish Audiophile Money-Wasting Arrogant Braggarts Society [SAMWABS], but the MoFo has gone soft on us with his last few posts. Oh well...

Now, did someone mention equine-genitalia? Of course that would have to be Marco.
Shventus, with all your interests and know-how I'm surprised you weren't part of the X-Prize competition!
Shventus, all you gotta do is design and build the damn space craft. Get some other sap to fly it, hahah! What's soaring? Is it like gliders?
300+ miles without an engine?! That must have been beautiful! My Dad flew gliders during training in WWII when he was in the Japanese Navy. He loved it. Where were you able to do this?
