While in Hawaii on our honeymoon, a local told us of his passion for surfing. We listened and loved hearing the tales of kite surfing from island to island, and fist fights on surf boards in the middle of the ocean for a good wave. It made us realize, aside from a good bottle of wine and an overpriced meal, what are we passionate about? What are our hobbies?
I do enjoy writing, and sometimes the occasional Chelsea Handler book, but I wouldn't describe myself as literary. I like TV, but who doesn't, and lets face it, telling someone you like The Real Housewives of whatever city happens to be on, doesn't really make for a substantial conversation starter.
We thought about our lives and what we do day to day, and it made us realize, we are the hobbyless couple. Maybe that is a common theme in New York City, since there really isn't anything to do here except work, drink, eat and sleep, specially from October through April when it is freezing or raining. But are those hobbies? Does finding the best martini bar in Manhattan qualify as a passion?
What defines a hobby anyway? According to Wikipedia: A hobby is an activity or interest that is undertaken for pleasure or relaxation, typically done during one's leisure time. If that is the case, then here are some of my hobbies:
1. Hot sauce
2. My cat
3. Man v. Food/Adam Richman
4. Jalapenos
5. Bob
6. Target
7. Jeggings
8. Trying to be funny
9. Soy cheese
10. Us Weekly
That is a good start, and I would like to add more (small and ridiculous) passions, but I would love to hear what your passions/hobbies are. Please feel free to give recommendations for things that you love that we should consider taking up, as long as it does not involve mushrooms and/or spiders.
Thank you.
