I wish I can learn an instrument
Wishing to learn instruments is a hobby in itself. All those long nights spent wishing hard.
I wish I can learn an instrument
Why don't you just do it? It's never too late to pick one up (it took me till my late 20's to do it). You just need time and patience.
Find one that interests you!I wish I can learn an instrument
And Money. Which I don't have.
I would really like to learn how to play the piano or guitar. I love those instruments.
A hobby has to be constructive in some way.

I have a feeling somebody was smoking weed when they decided to post this thread lol
Thanks man, definitely gonna look into that when money right.
Any threads on home brewing on here?
Hmm, point. In the meantime, if you haven't already, why don't you learn about reading music and ear training? There should be free resources on the internet. It's a crucial skill that will really pay off once you do get to pick up an instrument.
No it doesn't.
It's simply a leisure activity done in one's spare time. There are definitely lesser hobbies, but they're hobbies none the less.

In my experience meditation makes you gradually lose interest in a lot of things that could be considered somewhat extraneous or something of a distraction. I don't really mean that in the "type-A personality" or workaholic way, it just subtly and kind of passively/organically reorganizes your priorities in a rather genuine way. Obviously it's not perfectly effective or I wouldn't still be posting here, but in general it leads a person more in that direction, you just gradually become more focused in a way where you let go of things and find that you don't really miss them.

Holy crap I never knew gaf could be so elitist. None of those are hobbies? Really? Working out and reading aren't hobbies now? "NO NOW GO LEARN AN INSTRUMENT OR DO SOMETHING WE CONSIDER PRODUCTIVE"
Give up your job and school and sell weed full time. You will be making money from your hobby, but don't smoke it all, Smokey made the same mistake:

Sounds like you could do something more productive

Right now I'm trying to balance grad school, an internship, a part-time job, my music playing, and trying to write some short stories. I also go to the gym four days a week. There's never enough time. I remember reading a sci-fi story about people who were engineered not to need sleep. I wish I were one of those people.
Complaining about people's opinions on message boards, another hobby
Drowning in hobbies here
I enjoy bird watching. I'm thinking about taking up feeding pigeons at the local park as a new hobby too!

Sharpening knives is actually pretty cathartic. Get that blade nice n' sharp until you cut your skin just by lightly pressing down on your flesh. Wait until the neighbor is coming home tired and groggy before you spring out of the bushes knife in hand and lunge like a wild savage wolf towards their jugular, all in the name if testing how sharp your combat knife is........ Or you could just watch t.v.

To be fair his hobbies weren't hobbies. I mean, watching netflix?

Home brewing is generally a pretty low maintenance hobby, though I suppose that might change if someone starts drinking a lot more.

I have this problem. Unfortunately my hobbies can also be pretty damn expensive, so they're a strain on my wallet as well as my schedule.
Telling people to do something more productive? We should be burned at the stake.

So I guess quitting masturbation didn't work out in the end?

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Smoking weed and consuming internet culture aren't hobbies.

Na, I was surprised how easy, cheap compared to eating out and non time consuming cooking actually is. I learned from downloading a few video cooking podcasts from itunes. I'm still learning and wouldn't serve the results to friends and family yet. But it is a very satisfying hobby. And the fact that some women find it sexy is a nice bonus, someday.. :3

Read at work.
Work retail :/
If you cut out smoking weed and watching crap on netflix you'd probably finish it pretty fast.
Reading is probably a better use of your time then those other two anyway.
No smoke weed then read for the best experience.
I get the impression what you really want to do is get off the couch and do something that isn't routine for most people. You can always join a club. I'm part of Toastmaster's and help out a friend's engineering design team from time to time. If you want to meet people and end up with interesting stories, an outdoors club is a safe bet. You get exercise while also being social and taking you new places.
