    Longboarding, pool, various projects requiring my to build stuff.

    Full time job takes up most of my time though. I wish I had times when I was bored. It's usually the opposite where I don't get everything done in the time I have.

      Juggle. Be careful, it becomes extremely addicting.

      Put some sand in some tennis balls and you are ready to go. I takes over 6 months to get a solid 5 ball pattern.

            Sing and work on enunciation and pronunciation when speaking. Tho I guess they directly tie into my field of work as an actor. It's funny, after 3 weeks of consistantly working at it, I've had random strangers compliment me saying I have a voice for radio (I like to joke that I also have a face for radio too ;))

            I also enjoy skipping (with a rope) and dancing (learning new moves). It's funny, when you learn new, faster stepping moves when skipping, how chicks at the gym become mesmorized by my speed, accuracy and creative footwork...kinda neat :)

                Try wedding crashing. Rent and watch "The wedding crashers" and go from there.

                Or become a superhero. Incorporate a potato sack, e92 steering wheel and vlads false hope into your costume.

                  I watch re-runs of Man vs Wild on the Discovery channel, then go out and recreate those scenarios IRL in my neighbor's back yard. They have a awesome sandbox for their 7 year old. Makes for a great desert survival area.

                    I used to long board when I lived in Long Beach...ha. Wanting to get back in it, it's so calming.:yawn:

                      www.geocaching.com is a good place to start. Start-up cost is FREE if you already have a smart-ish phone with GPS on it.

                        Read! I'm reading one now called The Limit, Life and Death on the 1961 Grand Prix circuit. Pretty fuckin good. When I'm completely bored and have nothing to do, I start reading the LotR trilogy again, haha.

                          Radio is a blast.

                          I did an internship in college on a sports talk show. Hosted probably a dozen or so shows myself when the host was out of town........and brought on other Journalism students with me.

                          I'd love to get back into it......................but the pay is weak.

                            I usually source ebay or Amazon, though there are specialty sites out there for them. There are all sorts of scales and grades, from 1/144, to 1/100, to 1/60. Grades can range from regular, to high grade, to master grade, to perfect grade.

                            I'm working on a 1/100 master grade epyon at the moment, it's taking me months to complete. Do some searching on youtube for some reviews and inspiration. Wouldn't hurt to look up some gunpla guides as well for some detail tips.
