New Tricks

I'm not saying that I'm getting old or anything like that. But I suddenly have the urge to learn something new. What? I have no fucking idea. Which is probably why it's driving me nuts.

I have no idea why this urge him me or why it chose a Wednesday to do so, but I was sitting at my desk at work and I was bored out of my mind. So I was just letting my mind wander when I thought to myself, "I want to learn something new. But what should I learn?"

So I started going through things in my mind.

Master and I have talked about learning archery in the past. But I have no idea where to get lessons and the equipment is fucking expensive. So that gets put on the back burner for now. I kind of wouldn't mind learning kick boxing. I don't even know if I could do it, but it sounds pretty bad ass. And that is probably why I want to do it. Just because it sounds bad ass. I'm pretty sure classes for that is expensive too.

I don't want to just start some random hobby. I think I'm looking for something new that I will really love and want to keep doing. I mean I could sample a few different things and see what catches me, but that is a lot of time, effort and cash flow. So it's not like I can try something, decide I don't like it and then move on to the next thing. I am not one to just throw money away. Research sounds all well and good, but reading about something and doing it are two different things. It can sound really awesome on paper and then you do it and you hate it with every fiber of your being. (Kind of like some of the college courses I took.)

The only free shit I can think of that would be considered a hobby that I could try is stuff my friends are doing. That way I could try it out and decide if I like it. If I don't, no money is lost. If I do, then I can go from there.

But our friends don't do very much. BC doesn't really have a hobby (unless you consider watching porn a hobby). He just volunteers a lot at this club he lives by. It's very boring.

SS doesn't have any hobbies at all. None.

Our other friends we either don't talk to anymore or they live far away.

My new work friends only have one hobby. Well, the husband of the work couple have a hobby. Guns. Apparently he's a gun nut. Not like a crazy gun nut. He just really loves guns.

I owned a gun at one point. I had bought it for self defense at the time because Master and I weren't living together and I had some creep repeatedly hanging around outside my bedroom window that the cops never got their hands on. Bastard. But once I moved in with Master the gun was no longer needed for self defense, so I sold it. I never even fired it.

I've never been to a shooting range or anything like that. That may sound stupid since I had bought a gun for self defense but it was very last minute and I didn't have it for long.

So yeah, I've never even shot a gun. Not once. Master has and He said it can be fun. He's talked about us going out to a shooting range before but we've just never gone. Either we forgot it for a while, or when we did remember we didn't have the cash flow or had thought of something better to do.

So yeah. I don't know. Just a random thought that went through my head earlier today and is now stuck there.
