    Writing, for the most part, for me.

    Used to be my employment, right now it's mostly a past-time. In time, that may change, though...

    @Murdock, where do you live? I'll be sure to come over stat. That would be an amazing gift!

    @StGeorge, I could tell. I've had a very fun time reading your reviews.

    Interesting topic. To fit in with Bond's answer my "hobby" is survival. Let me explain, I live in Greece and as you all know we are in a deep mess. I'm unemployed, without benefits, and I'm struggling to make ends meet. Other than that I composed music www.myspace.com/mfantacy but haven't played in a while. I write articles on politics and economics and am battling depression as do so many in "United Europe". But I constantly remind myself that it could be worse, so be well you all. Michael.

    I concur. Us Yanks can't fathom the hardships parts of Europe, and The Middle East in extension (and many more areas) are facing.

    Well, you @Creasy47 and @00Beast are the Brosnan lovers on here, so I was just trying to influence a spreading of the wealth. @00Beast may have some copies too though. :)

    Thank you for the kind words during these hard times. Americans are good people, generous and it was upsetting when Mr. Romney referred to Greece in a disrespectful manner as kids at school are passing out because of hunger. I believe he meant no harm, but you can't compare America's 8.6% unemployment rate to 25.4% of Greece. Regardless behind those numbers are human beings and that is a tragedy for all. Lets hope and pray for a better future. God bless

    Selfish fools never *MEAN* harm, and I apologise for his remarks on behalf of my country.
    He was an addition to a world crisis waiting to happen, I respect my fellow Americans for not letting him happen to us all.
    I passed out from hunger once in my late teens- it's not fun.

    Romney was a culmination of all bad things, and I apologize for his idiotic remarks.

    @Murdock, if you're ever feeling generous enough to send that via mail....

    I'll see what I can do. I won't make any promises but I'll try to someday.

    Writing short stories and such under my other alias, Mr Chatable.

    Drawing pencil sketches for my son to Ink.

    Weight-training so I can be one of the-best shaped forty-odd year olds I know.

    That's about it.

    My latest hobby I to record music thanks to @Murdock that recommended me a free and great software.
    I record some Johnny Cash track, singing and playing guitar. Sometimes I add background music (karaoke version) from Youtube.
    I don't really sing well and it sound cheap but, this is too much fun!! I really enjoy myself and that is what matters at the end.

    I'm currently taking little nick nacks apart to give them some custom paintjobs to turn these once boring little hand held games into film props. ;)

    and fool around in Photoshop, designing stuff.

    1. Films. Watch film when ever I can. Sometimes I watch even four movies in a day. I do marathons.
    2. PC gaming. Mainly older point and click adventures, Deus Ex, NOLF and such (again console games when I get a new ps3, come next month and GTA V)
    3. Hard drinking. I don't have a problem with alcohol. It goes down the throat just fine.

    Well, this may sound a tad sad, but microsoft flight simulator x! I love aviation and the wide spectrum that it covers. I like to draw, read now and then, and recently, film, especially film criticism. Oh, a geography, especially the political side.

    It's not sad, I love FSX too! Spent a lot of time on it. Bummed that Microsoft closed FS now. :(

    My hobbies? Reading, writing for my blog in my spare time, researching using books, journals or the Internet and collecting interesting books. Hill walking. That's about it.

    Haha, yeah, its incredibly addictive! There are still developers who produce freeware and payware products, though.

    I do a lot of photography, and video work. I love editing and enhancing my work. I also do a lot of short films in my spare time. As well as that, I listen to a hell of a lot of movie scores, and I try and find as many rarities in that department as I can. On top of that, I cycle long distances every day - currently in training for a triathlon. I've also done some modelling recently as well, which was strange but fun!
