What's Your Passion?

[Tron]

I figure this could turn out to be an interesting thread. What is the one thing that you absolutely love, the one thing that you truly wish you could do for the rest of your life?

Mine is snowboarding. I've been doing it for 11 years, and I've loved every minute of it. I haven't blown a knee or broken a wrist or anything, but I've subjected my body to abuse that I wouldn't for anything else. There's pretty much nothing else I'd put up with subzero temperatures for, either. Man, I really, really love it, and if I had the means, I'd do it every day for the rest of my life. Seriously. I've NEVER been sad snowboarding, and I've gotten concussions, I've bruised my tailbone, I've had icicles form from my nose. It's great.

Okay, so yeah... Answer the question.

[BusterStacks]

Poker and video games.

[NLSoldier]

I think the biggest problem in my life right now is that I really don't have one (other than maybe poker).

[Shajen]

Sex. I never get tired of it, I love doing it everyday, it never gets old.

Ok, typical lamer response out of the way early:

Me? nothing man. Variety is the spice of life.

Nothing is my passion. Maybe that's why I suck so bad.

[Zoltri]

Going to the track and watching your horse race.
If your lucky enough to make it to the winners circle....well, lets just say its almost as good as sex.

I don't have a passion. I should really find one.

I hear you also play skin flute.

[Gamblor]

Poker.

Hockey.

[Rhone]

Drinking wine, learning more about wine. It's an endless pursuit, and that's part of what I like about it...you can always learn more. And it's fun getting there. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[2planka]

Baseball.
Still play in a wood bat over-30 league (bostonbaseball.com). Still lead my team in batting. Never did see much use for a glove, though.

Second to baseball is probably poker (though I'm not nearly as good at poker as I am at baseball).

My job is a job. Yeah, it gets me out of bed in the morning and provides me with income to do what I like, but I've missed work to play ball and play poker, so that about sums it up.

I used to be but I burned out. I still love wine, but I won't go through extravagant lengths to hit the highs anymore though. A glass of simple Cotes du Rhone or Morgon some other unheralded, underappreciated wine is plenty for me now.

I have and you really don't realize how much you love it until you find yourself getting amped for rehab. Go snow.

[nolanfan34]

Golf. I've never been one of those people who claims if they win the lottery that they'd continue working, start a business, etc. I'd travel and golf all over the world.

Golf took a back seat this year to poker, but I'm not going to let that happen again next summer.

WTF!?!?!!? Is she reading this?!!!?

Snowboarding is awesome, man, though not my passion. You can do it all day and at the end you realize that you haven't even been thinking, your mind was totally clear, and you had the most fun you've ever had.

As for me, if I had kept up with it; writing. I'm not very good at it, but I've always enjoyed writing, and when you can come up with something that amazes even you, that's the best feeling in the world. When you create something that even someone as self-critical as I am can't deny is perfect, there is nothing better than that.

Travel, deep conversation, competitive games, and writing.

did you forget long walks on the beach and firey sunsets? /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Danenania]

yes.

[billyjex]

It's a little cliche on this forum.. but poker is what I look forward to everyday.

I used to go snowboarding alot, but this past year and last I've sort of lost the passion. It's a couple hours to the nearest resorts (Lake Tahoe area), it's expensive and hard to find the time.

That's Fireman Ed! Easily the most famous fan in Pro-Sports, and one of New Yorks Bravest.

(He also is a complete and utter shill for Woody Johnson)

Basketball - watching the pros or playing with the extreme amateurs (which hasn't happened much in quite a while).

Go T-wolves! (yeah, I know, I know, but they'll get it together ..... I hope /images/graemlins/frown.gif )

Mine changes a lot, so perhaps it's fair to say I don;t really have one. I've not been snowbaording, but the two times I went skiing were insanely fun and snowboarding looks a million times better, so I can see that. When I was younger it was music but I've kind of grown out of that. Poker for a while, but that turned into something of an unhealthy addiction rather than a passion, and now it's more of a money-making hobby that I view fairly dispassionately. I really enjoyed Ju Jitsu for a while when I did it at college, but wasn't very good at it and began to like the atmosphere/attitude less and less until I stopped going altogether. now I'm doing martial arts again I enjoy it, and especially the light sparring, mad mad fun. (We didn't spar in jitsu, it was all drills). Don't know if that will stay the same as it gets heavier and I start to get smacked about a bit, but at the moment I enjoy it the way it sounds like you enjoy snowboarding.
And my cat, I guess.
