We've all got 'em. Some are real hobbies- building models, collections of one sort or another (*swords*), or outdoorsy-activities- hiking, angling, shooting. Others are a bit removed- watching sports, or reading; solving (or creating) crosswords, or keeping up with the latest soap, reality, or other TV show. What about you?
I'm into Legos, databases, music and computers.:cool:

I play guitar and bass, which is quite productive. I'm also a gamer -- PS2 mostly, although my friends have recently gotten me hooked on Ikariam, a web browser game. It's fun.
I also collect swords. I have quite a few. So many, in fact, that I can't tell you off the top of my head how many there are.

My hobbies consist of computer gaming, hunting/shooting, and some photoshop art design.
I like playing Call of Duty and find a lot of ministry opportunities in that. For instance I'm apart of a Christian gaming clan Good Samaritans. Their servers are a safe and fun environment that kinds can play and parents don't have to worry about language and inappropriate content.
As for hunting and shooting theres nothing like the great outdoors a full mag and an AR15.

Heres my first AR in .233
Has a 20" PacNor barrel with a 1:8 twist
Muzzle break
decent trigger job
DPMS Lower and upper.
Barska scope that gets the job done.
Should be able to shoot out to 500 yards and get at least 1" groups.
I also have an old German Yugo k98k M24/47 made in 1943 with all matching numbers...
A Springfield XD .45 ACP 5" Tactical
A Russian blackbolt sks with a Tapco t6 adjustable stock
And a Ruger 10/22
As for photoshop I'm in the learing faze and have a ways to go before I get the hang of it.
Heres some of my works.

OH yes and last but not least I almost forgot to add I love listening to Christan music and more specifically Jeremy Camp!
*EDIT*
I don't know if this counts...as a hobby but I'm currently going to Boise State and am getting a degree in Computer Networking with a security track tacked onto the side of it.
This fall I will be learning Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures with some Computer Forensics.

anything involving technology and media ministry. I like to do a lot of different things. Things outdoors like camping, fishing, hiking, shooting, and I like to do things inside as well like reading, working puzzles, using my computer, ect.

I love linux. I'm not terribly good with it, but I love it. I tried a new distro the other day, but I had some problems installing, so I reinstalled my old distro (kubuntu 6.06 LTS)
It took around half an hour, start to finish, to reinstall.

LOL... I failed myself with Linux. My head keeps on asking where is the? How can I? I don't understand most of it but I am interested to learn, just not by myself or else I'll end up really upset.

I think the secret to Linux is to keep on trying. It is infuriating at times, simply because it isn't Windows. However, it's bloody stable. We had a major network crash at home earlier this year, and a virus got our two XP boxes. We stayed connected with my linux box.

I love playing hockey...it's pretty much my favorite thing to do. I also love playing my guitar. I like reading, mostly stuff like Lord of the Rings and Terry Brooks and such. I like messing around with pictures and making computer backgrounds in Paint Shop Pro.
