  • What are your passions
     OP - May 29, 2012, 12:07 PM
    Other than being yourselves what are your passion(s) if any, what interests you alot.

    For me i love wrestling, music and anime Smiley

    This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

    I'd say I'm passionate about ideals, and sunshine (if I had the money I would live my life following the sun all year long).

    I'm passionate about historical fiction and fantasy fiction and sci fi, but not really other types of books. 

    I'm passionate about psychology and sociology theories, love to hear them, read about them, talk about them with my friends.

    I'm passionate about my goal in life.

    I'm passionate about this forum and where we can eventually take it.

    My kids too, and my friends.

    I think I'm passionate about passion, which makes anything less than passion pointless. 

    Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit.

    I don't think my love of music qualifies as a passion though, not like music is to say abood, billy and ishina, who's passion for music shines through most posts. 

    It's a shame too, something so cool about saying "music".  I'm just not hip enough I guess Grin

    I love music, but it's not a passion the way reading is or the way sun is.  Since, well I have internal music on play all the time.  Grin

    So many passions...

    My kids.

    Creating things, anything really, but particularly artwork, expressions of oneself, and creating beauty.

    Coming on here.  Tongue

    Walking, running, hiking, well sometimes anyway, some days I get lazy and don't want to walk anywhere.

    Dvds, tv, music, singing, zombies, vampires, horror, thrillers, and real-life-drama movies.

    Learning about something new, like learning random facts about stuff. Which is not a good idea to expose to people... people tend to think one is weird if you suddenly say, "Hmmm, I wonder why the little black ants climb up the carob tree? Why do they do that?" Can't tell you how many times I've been called a nerd for spouting random facts or stating I wonder *blah blah blah*? or asking *why/how/when/where/what does/is/was blah blah blah*?. I find it so hard not to voice aloud though, what I'm wondering about. Don't know why the rest of the world isn't as curious as I am, but it's just the way I am, I get curious about stuff and people think it's weird. Meh.  Cheesy

    Tim Tams.

    Archaeology, sociology, criminology, anthropology, history.

    Beauty, here, there and everywhere. Beauty is found in so many things, places, people, the way dew makes the grass twinkle, aesthetics. I am passionate about having beauty around me, in my house etc... connects and ties closely with art.

    Dancing.

    Speaking of historical fiction have you read Ken Follet's epics, World Without End and Pillars Of The Earth?

    As far as fantasy fiction, how about the Discworld series?
  • Re: What are your passions

    -Photography, (find some historical art interesting too)

    -Learning about ancient civilisations (some not so ancient civs)

    -Geology (and astronomy a bit)

    -Languages: (Japanese, Mandarin-Chinese  -> along with culture)

    -Human behaviour/cognitive neuroscience

    -Learning in general

    -Adventure, mystery and non-fictional books

    -Personal development


    (Not too strangely physics has fallen from my list of passion....Which is why I'm also struggling with working)

    Music, writing, reading, photography, computers -- I used to do coding and web design a lot when I was younger. I've been thinking of getting back into that recently. There was a phenomenon of personal websites among teenagers (mostly girls) when I was a teen that I somehow discovered thru web surfing. This was before blog websites existed, so people had to create their own websites from scratch. It was an exciting thing when you get hosted. Because it was based on auditions, in a way. You submit a portfolio of your work or show them a current layout you have in mind, and if they like you, they host you for free under their site! My first site to be hosted on was bluestars.net, so my address was bluestars.net/myname (whatever I wanted it to be). Good times.

    Basically anything artistic. How unique of me.  Tongue

    I'm passionate about a lot of things though, seemingly everything I do. Berbs sums it up well:

    I've never had passion fruit. Grin I hear it's good, but I cant get over the fact that it looks like snot. Then again, I've never seen them in person either.
