Favorite hobbies/pasttimes?
0.) Thinking
1.) Programming
2.) Not mentioning
2+1.) Reading
Never have claimed to be the best programmer, but I spent a portion of my life learning my favored past time very well. Talking to junior programmers and college graduates usually irks me because they just don't understand the artistry of our craft. They're too young.
My family is full of arts and craft types, my mother was even a cartoonist, which pushes me somewhat away from drawing. Me, I have find beauty in coding, design, and engineering topics.
Thinking is a major part of me, and I consider myself an intellectual. In my "Youth", the study of combat and technology was a principal past time; but I've not been in a fight in years.
Favourite type of music: Anything that sounds good to my ears.
I tend to be partial to country and rock music, ranging all the way from cica 1950s to present day on both accords. The only things I really don't like, tends to be Rap music and that "Boom boom BOOM" crap so many dipsticks blast from their cars, which is also something I classify *as noise* rather then music. Hank Williams voice (link) is also, a sound that I find stomach churning at times, although he did do some good records.
Whenever my computer is on, you'll usually hear 94.9 The Bull playing, unless I've loaded Pandora or something from the BBC. 94.9 however, is the thing I listen to 95% of the time. I haven't found another radio station that I like as much.
In particular, I tend to like the works of Johnny Cash, Wayland Jennings, Braid Paisley, Talyor Swift, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, and numerous others: both before and after my generation, lol. When in a very bad mood, I favour hard rock and some metal.
When it's well done, classical and especially violin music is very pleasing to my ears, and in fact, given the resources and opportunity to master it, I would learn to play through the violin. There's just something about it that touches me.
Favourite movies
The list of my favourite movies goes on and on: the list is huge. Honestly it spans films made as far back as the 1930s!!! I'm a very big fan of classics, and highly partial to comedy, action, and science fiction; but will usually watch anything once.
Black & White films are often some of the best. Many good movies also came out of RKO.
2 things you want to do before you die:
Those would be more personal then I would broadcast in a public forum. I have a "Bucket list" of things I would like to accomplish before I check out. For the brilliant analytics's out there, there is a film from 2000 that shows everything I desire out of life, after watching it, you could likely deduce my top 2 buckets.
Peace.
Favorite hobbies:
music, gaming, sports (swimming & rock-climbing), making sarcastic comments
Favourite music:
I can quote Spidey here, anything that sounds good to my ears, depends a lot on my mood. Mainly i like rock music from around the early 70s, the more sophisticated the better, i like music either if it is brain-challenging, like difficult to play and/or to understand, or if it just moves me on an emotional level.
During my early years i listened mainly to heavy metal music, like Metallica. I used to play the drums quiet well and i was looking for sth more challenging to play and soon found myself in playing what is called "progressive rock" and also jazz or jazz-rock things, like Dave Weckl.
I also enjoy listening to classical music sometimes, what i dont like is rap, hip-hop, boom-boom-boom (whatever they call it lol) and similar genres which have only partially sth to do with music.
Favourite movies:
Im not really into movies, so its hard for me to name sth here. I like movies which activate my brains somehow, so i dont enjoy all these action movies so much lol.
Just a couple of days ago i watched a movie called "Memento" which i found quite nice and "Good Will Hunting" i recall was quite enjoyable.
2 things you want to do before you die:
I guess thats somehow to personal to be announced here, but be assured that i walk the line
Those who believe to be something, have stopped to become something
Dang Spidey, I was wonderin when I would get to the bottom of the page, You can type cant cha,lol, Welp I aint gonna try to type that much cause I will be here all night typin,
My hobbies use to be catv, climbin poles, martial arts and Bass Tourneys, Now just Bass fishin and watchin my boys give me more wrinkles,
I do tinker with boats here and there, Also make some of the Finest Beef Jerky in the world with a receipe I came up with bout 20 or 30 yrs back, Also I can take ya to the river and more than likely you will come back with a trophy bass (ask JB) and if ya like Speed on the water, I can make the wind give ya a smile it will last for a long time with my Allison boat which will flat sure get it,
JB is my long time fishin partner and Best friend and of course we are more like brothers, JB and me built the cable system here coverin about 9 counties,
as for a movie I dont really have a favorite but I do like the weather channel and Bill Dance bass fishing, O yea I best not forget that I have a Wife of 31 years and still countin, NO she aint 31 but we have been married for 31,
Ok I like all kinds of music but with age I lean to country more and more, I get out on the lakes here and just feel like a little kid in a candy store, welp looks like I did type a bit there Spidey, and I been sittin here awhile,LOL.
I've had to learn to just type as fast as I can get my brain and fingers to go, other wise what takes a long time to write, takes all day -> being interrupted every 15 minutes lol.
