goldengloves Posts: 690 Joined: 2003/09/19	2004/02/03, 10:21 PM My hobby would have to be the sport of boxing. I love every aspect of it. I collect alot of boxing memorabilia and have a huge amount of some good stuff but it got quite costly now that I have bills to pay. But recently I made my body my hobby. Costs nothing and the payoff is great :)<--Kind of dorky

beef_ Posts: 28 Joined: 2003/12/24	2004/02/03, 11:51 PM Well if we're including sports I also play basketball and golf alot. I think a fullcourt game of basketball is 10 time more effective than running on a treadmill for an hour..

I go to the venue 12 hours before the show starts and usually get backstage one way or another after the show. :D And if this isn't dorky enough for you, I also collect tin boxes, the more antique and communist they look, the better lol -------------- ...snow can wait, I forgot my mittens...

Julisa Posts: 87 Joined: 2004/01/27	2004/02/04, 07:14 AM I run with one type of sneaker on one foot and one type on the other foot. They don't look very different, but hopefully, I am going fast enough that nobody notices! LOL I also have to put my weights on in the same order (left to right) and direction (#s out) every time I am in the gym.

Julisa Posts: 87 Joined: 2004/01/27	2004/02/04, 01:25 PM Assuming you were speaking about the sneaker issue, when I was in training, the prankster boys were continuously taking one each of my running shoes...deciding that I would not let them get me down, I just started running with what I had and I continue it now because it reminds me to never give up. (That, and it is actually comfortable with the type of stride I take) LOL

csferrie Posts: 102 Joined: 2003/11/02	2004/02/05, 10:27 AM I enjoy a friendly debate, which usually turns into an argument, any takers?
agamble Posts: 1,029 Joined: 2003/09/22	2004/02/05, 10:39 AM Okay charlie. You can get into this to csferrie since you're itching-Kirk,Picard, or Janeway? Which one would you rather have as a commander if you are facing down the Romulans in the neutral zone?
	2004/02/05, 11:03 AM Janeway is a mere captain wanna be. Picard merely sounds like a captain Kirk is the real deal. -------------- Its like herding cats. Charlie
agamble Posts: 1,029 Joined: 2003/09/22	2004/02/05, 11:11 AM Janeway would spend the hour whining about the situation. Picard would spend the hour reasoning through the situation. Kirk would kick their ass in the first 10 minutes and spend the rest of the time getting laid by some exotic green chick at the far corner of the universe.
	2004/02/05, 11:17 AM bada bing, the man knows his space heros. Star Trek seems to be a central theme among the fitness folk. Isn't it amazing the things that Gene Roddenberry imagined 40 years ago that have come to be?? Tractor beams are used to manipulate specimens on microscope slides. Communicaters actually ride around in our pockets. Antimatter exists and we can produce it. Computers......actually do what these guys imagined and then some. -------------- Its like herding cats.

myoung6470 Posts: 75 Joined: 2003/10/30	2004/02/05, 05:27 PM I like to do woodwork and I play the guitar - poorly. I liked Deep Space 9. Sisco was cut from the Captain Kirk mold and didn't take any crap from anybody. I also like the Enterprise series. (T' Pol.) Most of my free time now I use for working out or planning my working out. -------------- Happy trails, Mike Young - Still on the pain train

JessicaR Posts: 467 Joined: 2002/08/12	2004/02/05, 09:55 PM Ohhh, Charlie, you're too mean! Taurie, they are really colorful! Mine are all Caribbean so they are shades of red/orange w/ a purple claw. They are the most common sold in the US. The other species can be all purple, or bright red, or blue, all different colors. I guess I should mention I play the guitar too but my hb and I own a guitar shop so that isn't really a hobby anymore, it's work. :(
