I was just wondering what sort of stuff my fellow M.U.S.C.L.E. Heads do when they are not collecting M.U.S.C.L.E.!

Maybe some of us share some of the same interests!

We could share them here.

I personally am a musician. I play a lot of guitar. I first got into it about three years ago when I became a huge fan of the Dave Matthews Band. The band inspired my musical side and ever since I have been learning all about music. I've gone to school for it and changed my college major to focus on it.

I play all of Dave's songs that I know. I know quite a few now and play everday. I have this uncontrolable urge to pick up the guitar whenever I see one! It's crazy!!!

Here's the other part of my soul, my guitar. It's how I express what's inside. It helps me sing, and I help it play!

It's a Yamaha DW20. The best Yamaha Acoustic steel string guitar out there. Also the most expensive. The thing is beautiful!

I sing. I also can play the drums pretty decently, and I pick around on the bass, but not very good yet.

This is a pretty interesting thread! We can see what people are really like!

As for myself, I'm big into swing dancing. Lindy hop, jitterbug... I love it! It's the only way you can act like a lunatic in public and not get thrown in an asylum...

I first got into it about three years ago when I became a huge fan of the Dave Matthews Band.

By the way, I'm from Charlottesville, VA which is from where the Dave Matthews Band originates. In fact, you can see scenes of the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville in at least one of their videos.

Anyway, the band donates alot of money to Charlottesville charities. It's pretty cool that even though they're celebrities, they keep active on a local level. Although I'm really not a fan of their music, they're a-okay by me.

That's awesome, Nate!

I know all about the DMB. Can't believe you're from where they originated! It's a small world indeed!

hmm, i am an Aries and i enjoy candle light dinner and midnight strolls on the beach..........
but what i really like to do is barbecue. to me, there is nothing better than a thick steak grilled to perfection with a little garlic powder and seasoning and a tall frosty Mt. Dew. but is grilling meat really a hobby? with me, it is. i even got one of those cool big posters that tells you what part of the cow all the cuts of meat come from. (it is framed -oh yeah!!!)
i am also teaching myself to play the ukulele (bought in Hawaii).
and i recently learned to play backgammon and am already kicking my girlfriends butt (which is cool).
and finally there is drawing and doodling, which is how i express what is inside me. and it is also a really good, cheap way to make presents for all occasions. and here is the bonus: it "means more" because it comes frrom the heart!
but seriosuly, i like to draw and i play a mean game of racquetball.....

[arforbes]

Cool, now we know who will cook at the M.U.S.C.L.E. Convention.

Steak and burgers, right Doc! JK

[arforbes]

Anybody a fan of the Dave Matthews Band?

[musclemenkids]

i collect ladybird books

[Ridureyu]

I do a lot of computer-related stuff in my free time. I also major in history and minor in literature at my college, and thus read a lot. i enjoy writing, and (at times) discussing different aspects of theology, politics, etc. I also act like a complete lunatic, play video games a lot, watch anime, and collect toys.

[arforbes]

My other hobby is playing computer games. I can get lost for hours in a game, not knowing what is going on around me until I finally snap out of it. There could be a war with bullets wizzing past my head and bombs blowing up around me and swords clanging and I wouldn't even know. I'd just be sitting in the middle of the battlefield playing my computer game!

[doc_moore_j]

I am addicted to video games. Like to listen to loud rowdy music, and headbutt people in the mosh pit.

[ploid]

I am also a big gamer I also like doing a lot of outdoors stuff, camping, fishing, hiking, etc.

[RubzOne]

Ok I see alot of gamers on here... where is the Warcraft 3 massive let's get a AKIA team game goin

[Adamantiumwulf]

I am a gamer as well. Blizzard makes the best games and has the sweetest cinematics.

Going to finish single player WC3 before I go mutli and get killed.

I know all about getting lost in a game. Get on the computer as soon as you get up and next thing you know its dark outside.

I am also trying to teach myself C++, Flash, and 3D studio max.

[MUSCLETOYS]

Great topic guys! I live in Evans Colorado (35 - 40 min out of Denver.) My other main hobby has to do with Frankenberry, hence the link on my MUSCLE Main page alot of you have no doubt seen......

I'm also getting more into PEZ collecting as of late. When I have the time and (Money) I enjoy spending time restoring my daily driven BMW 633 csi. I'm also a classic movie buff, so I have ahuge collection of old films with Bogart films domintaing the list. My son and I are getting into collecting Disney's Zorro memorabilia from the 50's. I used to collect all kinds of toys including Hot Wheels, Mad Balls, ThunderCats, Anything Star Wars, Starting LIneup, Trading Cards (sport and non-sport), and too many other things to mention. I had to seriously tone it down. It just got to be too much. I like being able to clearly focus on the few hobbies I have now, and the wife is alot happier since I eliminated tons of clutter! Oh yeah... I used to have dreams of becoming a chef, but decided if I had to do that as a career, I'd probably get bored with it, so I often give my wife breaks from cooking and experiment in the kitchen with my personal cookware no one else is allowed to touch! Heh Heh. I've had some experience with wood working, and would like to eventually build a shop in my garage. After I do this, I'll see about designing some kind of display case for MUSCLE! Maybe Someday I'll build a personal web-site dealing with all my intrests, I just don't have the time to do it right now.
