Been pretty depressed lately about various things so I need to find something to occupy my mind through the monotony that is life. Any suggestions ranging from hobbies to life changes are welcome, so long as they are serious suggestions. :thumb:

Fishing!
Seriously, fishing for carp I find does wonders for your patients, take up alot of your time, you get to go outdoors, bargain.
Don't get inolved in games such as World Of Warcraft, you willl have no life.

Vacation. Not one of those regular, pathetic, trite, tourist hot-spots on the beaches of <insert yet-another European city> type location, but a real vacation which ends up with you making efforts rather than being pampered and having your behind kissed every few minutes by someone.
Peru, Cambodia, India, Syria, Egypt... these are my suggestions.
Brazil, I've heard awesome tales.
Organize a group of friends and go play Paint ball.
Learn Linux. (General advice to anybody really...)
It's a challenge and it will give you many extra skills.
Ah paint ball, i got shot in the head at paint ball, that was bearable but then i got shot on the nail of my thumb :thumb:Quote:

Good tips Mendhak but totally skint. Can only just afford a weekend in Butlins with the lads. Was thinking about going to a cooking course, meet new people and all that
Kill hookers. It's fun and free!
:afrog:
Hmm, I'm out of it as well.
I'm not even remotely inspired to start any artwork.
I'm stumped.
My eyes are tired, so I can't read just yet, as well as draw and stuff since imagination is pretty dull right now. I should go out and watch some sakura just outside this window.
I was waiting for my second train just beyond the yellow line, and as the train was approaching, a thought came to me. Like, how easy it is for someone to die by just jumping onto the tracks of an incoming train and wondered if anybody had ever done that. :sick:
Learn to cook, that will pull in the women

I find gaming to a good relaxer/stress reliever. But you have to choose the right game, like i'll play GTA or COD. Games that aren't really involved, just good for blowin sh** up :D
Try photography, select a subject, for example : sports, Nature, Landscape,
Portrait, Astral Photography, Macro photography (small stuff).
Alternatively look for an unusal hobby, like bell ringing, caving, lobbing paint
filled ballons at canvases or politicians, carving welsh poems on the heads of
a pin.
:afrog:
haha. Will think about it. I'm liking the idea of learning how to cook good quality food. It'll be a good place to meet people and something I can practice at home.
Hmmm, might just have a look around to see about prices and such
Cheers ppl :thumb:
I've started researching books on happiness and healthy living, so far I've only come across a few books that seem interesting. There are quite a few written by the Dali Lama that seem to hit what i'm looking for though i'm not really interested in Buddhism.
Although cooking does sound like a interesting idea. I'm sure there are quite a few females that are interested in cooking, unlike computers it seems. And maybe i can get away from the microwave i've become so dependent on.
Starcraft.

okay, I thought there would be some courses around the capitol city but I can't find any!?! Those cooking holidays are in excess of £1500!
Maybe I should just go back to martial arts and risk my knees being able to handle it?
College?
Nope, all the cooking courses are for professional cooking. All I wanted to learn was the basic skills
Take up Urban Running it's totally free.
Not fit enough
Base jumping (save money by using Tesco Value bag instead of parachute)
haha, don't think I'd last long after the initial jump
abour 5.3 seconds is my guess :P
Yes, nothing better than killing terrorists to cure stress.Quote:
