I've asked this question of a few friends of mine, and gotten some interesting answers.   So I thought I would ask it here. 

 

Out of all your activities, which one would you want to have over the exclusion of all the others?   Like if you went to heaven, which activity would you like to have there?   Or if you had to give up everything but one thing, which one thing would you want to keep the most?  

 

It's not the same as asking, what is your favorite hobby.   My favorite hobby is different from the one activity I would want to have if I had to give up everything else.   It might be the same thing for you, but that's not the question I am asking. 

 

Exclude things like "being with my wife/husband,"  or "being with my dog."   Leave that out. 

 

Some examples:

 

Watching sports on TV

Playing sports

Working on my car

Jogging

Going to the beach

Fishing

Hunting

Listening to music

Playing a musical instrument

Gardening

Reading books

 

In my case, my favorite hobby right now would be either playing golf or watching the Jaguars.   But the one activity I would want to have if I had to give up everything else would be listening to music.  Music puts my mind on a higher plane, and makes me feel connected to something mysterious.  It makes me feel like I am touching some great undefinable truth about existence and life.  

 

So, what is the one thing you would want to be able to do if you had to give up all your other activities?

 Yep, give me the internet.

 

I can do so many things online, including keeping up with all these (fill in the blank here) threads on our very own Jags message boards.

music

 

 - preferably the capability to record it and access to several instruments to record   -   but even just a record player and a tall stack of vinyl could keep me entertained and sane for a long, long time.

Nothing challenges me more and keeps me more engaged than teaching someone how to take a test whose questions haven't been written yet.


Can't do without it.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
