What's Your Passion?

[lisalove]

What drives your enthusiasm to learn more about it?


For me, it's ever-changing. I will research the hell out of something that interests me for years, and then move on to more stuff.

Some past/present passions of mine:
Violent weather: tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes (I missed my flight at the Tampa airport, and was forced to wait in the bar for 6 hours...I had this poor woman in tears probing her for all the details & panic she experienced during Hurricane Andrew).

Psychology/Psychiatry

New Age (tarot, astrology, numerology, edgar cayce)

True Crime (I read so many books my husband thought I was planning the perfect murder lol).

Babies/childcare/illnesses)

Gardening ( I think I want to be a horticulturist)


lmao...I just read this to my husband before sending it and when I got to horticulturist he asked, "whore?"

hmmm he seemed a bit too perky when he said it too.

 

[AzureAngel]

People. How they work, why they do what they do.

Me. How I work, why I do what I do, think what I do and want to do certain things.

The drive to be the perfect lover!

Graphic Design / Image Manipulation / Web Design.

Mainly people.

 

[truegentleman]

For me it's....

People- why they are the way they are.

Fitness- Just finding what works best.

Gardening- Trying to figure out my yard.

It will change from time to time, but that's the main things right now.

 

[unclej]

making music and wood sculpting/wood working. you can never know all there is to know about either of them.

 

[Ice Cold]

People and their absurdities

Literature... reading... writing... everything.

 

[lisalove]

Oh yessss. Last year I re-finished a few pieces of antique furniture, but I don't feel like doing it for a few years.

Musicians must absorb themselves in their craft. I've known many who were so intense & driven.

 

[Sillyman]

Games- Theory, development, the psychology behind recreation itself

Religeous and political philosophy

Economics (Yes, really)

 

[unclej]

i am so fortunate lisa. i live in the middle of a creative vortex of some sort. our whole little villiage has a tremendous population of musicians and artist of all types. they all say that they have never been as creative as they are here. i will literally be driving home and have to pull over and write down half of the lyrics to a song that i didn't even know i was thinking about. fortunately i live on a country road. by the time i get home i'll quite often have the rest of them. you couldn't pay me to leave here.

if you enjoyed the refinishing maybe you should try building something this time.

 

[lisalove]

Ha! I even considered building a bookshelf, and you know what I'm damn well gonna do it. Hell yes.

(ooooh don't make me curse your name unclej for reminding me of this).

 

[unclej]

nah, you'll enjoy it and i'll bet you do real well at it. if you need help pm me. i'm at your service.

Learning.

Just learning new things.

I like learning new ideas, lifestyles, ways of looking at life.

I like meeting people and making new friends (especially females).

I am into a lot of growth stuff right now a lot of exploration (sorry fella, but homosexuality is not one of them).

I love to travel. I love to Look at stuff. Sense it, apprehend it, experience it- places. people. "stuff."

Probably if I were passionate about anything it about learning how to live at peace with myself. All of the other things help- don't spend so much time brooding.

This summer I got a kitten, I got a handicam, put new strings on my guitar (want to get back into it). Workwise, I am looking into some new things while I don't have students. When fall comes and I get students again, I be passionate about being the best teacher they ever had by being passionate about their learning and acheivement.

And, of course, naps. I have become a passionate devotee to napping, napism, and napology.

I always wanted to learn about making things with my hands. For the past few years, my closet confidant at work is an old welding instructor who is probably one of the most "good-natured" people I have ever met and he teaches welding. I would very much like to learn how to weld. I am very idea oriented like lisalovesit,- but I ENVY people who can do things like unclej who makes beautiful things with his hand. I admire it because is beautiful, but I envy it because I have so very little experience with things like painting, sculturing, potter, or woodworking. Imagine to make your own table or chair or what not. It's just great.

I am a novice garder. But a great cook- I am passionate about good food.

Did I say sex?

 

[The Squid King]

Fast Cars-got a V-8 in the sedan with 160 on the dash.

Cars are my bliss.

 

[Private Vasquez]

Fine Art - paintings and the like...I try to live at the museums, but it just isn't a good idea. The snack bar isn't nutritious enough.

The human body - one little thing causes a cascade of events that lead to you picking up your arm, pointing your finger, and putting it in your nostril. I'm absolutely fascinated by it, darlings.

the mind - abstract, complicated as hell, and virtually impossible to ever understand.

laughing - I seem to do it all the time..it's like a disease, or something.

sleeping - it does a body good.

 

[claude_moveml]

Making music. Listening to music. Then making some more music.

I was expecting something like-

Clothes
Plastic shoes
fashion accsessories
hair care
Clothes

 

[Private Vasquez]

those are all given...who couldn't be passionate about tiny, plastic shoes? They're the best!

Most dogs would agree.

 

[mistressastra]

I too like to study human nature by watching people. Also anything "of the hour". When Shogun came on TV, I took up learning Japanese. When Titanic came out, I read all about the ship. Anything that piques my interest gets scutinized. Thus, I know alittle about alot instead alot about alittle.

 

[StrawberryPez]

Love - If it really exists or if it's all a mental thing, and if there really is a "perfect lover".

Music - I love everything about music. The feeling it gives me.

Lately I've learned to love the little things in life.

My best friend, with out her I don't know where I'd be right now.

Helping people

And the human body. It is just amazing to me, how this wonderful machine has been designed, how everything interacts. That is half the fun of my Emergency Medical Tech. class. And helping people is why I am doing it.

 

[Lost Cause]

My 1953 Harley Panhead. How it works,why, and how simplistic the engineering is. How it isn't like the plastic, module driven, no challenge to ride motorcycles that are here today. Riding it gives me the sense of riding in the fifties, and how rugged you really had to be to ride a rigid framed (no rear shocks) Harley. I love the feeling when it roars to life, how it idles with the thump-thump of it's heartbeat. I love the feeling of gliding down the road..no hurry..just enjoying the ride. It requires patience, to understand why something isn't right, you have to think "fifties." I will never talk it down, or sell her. My nostrils inhale her fragrance, my body absorbs her energy, after riding her I feel "empty" like I've been in deep meditation. This is my life...my passion!

**People are no challenge to understand, they are just children in big bodies. They can still be frightened by the thunder, or things they don't understand. Or the "Boogyman" whatever they are told it is.

This may sound really corny, but I really enjoy the challange and stragity of a good game of Magic: The Gathering.

For those who don't know it's a collectable card game, where you custom make your own deck and play aginst other people and their deck. There are over five-thousand different cards to choose from, so the stragity and creativity of deck building are almost limitless. Then once you start playing the game, you need to use stragity and quick thinking to react to what the person you're playing aginst has. It's like a customizable game of chess.

It's a good laugh. I have fond memories of my shade deck that was 50% swamps. Simple but effective (not anymore, it's all gone a bit crazy and I've lost touch).

Thought you might from your name

Truth. And coaxing the tiger out of demure women.
