things I love to do :

1) that’s cool you have an older sibling to hang with. I’ve always tried to get along with my brother in the past but I was really too much of a younger brother to tag along. He never wanted me around anyways.

2) although I’ve had a talent for drawing and painting, I never found much joy in it, not sure why other than the fact that I’m more of a spiritual kind of person who doesn’t see much value in material things (even paper)…it’s weird, hard to explain. But I like to see different kinds of art by others.

3) in recent years I’ve found a lot of distraction in movies and TV shows I find on the Internet. Letting myself get sucked into the story lines and imagineering of films helps to relieve stress and calm my mind. I don’t watch cable tv, gave it up a few years ago. It’s the commercials, can’t stand them. I won’t even listen to radio commercials.

4) I could never get into just listening to music by itself. For me, music has to accompany whatever I’m doing. I can’t just sit and listen to music and “lose myself” that way. I’ve been a musician for most of my life and I find that creating my own music is far more rewarding than taking interest in what kind of music I’m listening to.

5) I love cupcakes!! but I’ve only recently discovered how yummy they can be. I like to cook and create my own dishes. I love food, it’s just too bad that every day can’t be a culinary adventure.

6) video games….. lol I hate video games! hehe well hate is a stronger word than I’d like to use but I lack the extensive vocabulary to express my feelings for video games. I’m not too happy that it shapes our children’s future and defines many people these days. I understand the value of playing video games so I’m not saying that it’s bad you play them. But even as a kid I had a hard time keeping interest in games. They aren’t hard, in fact I’ve whooped the shit out of real gamers like I’ve been playing my whole life. But games are very alien to me. I’ve never played any of the games in circulation today. Some years ago I tried to get into games, even spent over $300 just to get myself started. That didn’t even last a month. I got so bored and saw it as pointless, so I sold the set up to some kid. My lack of interest in video games has always raised the question of why the rest of the world loves them so much.

Having distractions is a good thing I feel. We all need to keep distracted when we don’t have some kind of task or chore to do…. Cuz life is long and boring!

What are some of your real problems?
