My life is interesting.  I say this because you can never really determine my current hobby.  Though a distinct few generally remain, most of the time I go through seasons.

In high school, while working at a local department store, collecting Hot Wheels sounded like a cool idea.  They were cheap, and I hoped to learn more about cars by starting a collection.  To begin, I bought a couple that were pleasing to the eye.  They mostly consisted of vehicles that could have made it into an early sci-fi movie, and were probably worth anything.  My collection stopped growing after about ten cars.

College was a time where I learned several things that could have been beneficial, but took up way to much time.  Knitting and crocheting is not as hard as it looks, at least as far as the basics are concerned.  After one scarf and a blanket, I became bored with it and put down my hook and needles for good.  Buying a blanket is much less work.

My love for music started during my undergraduate work, and has since been a part of my life.  It is a seasonal thing, however.  I go through months where I’ll just sit and look for new bands on Myspace or through magazine’s such as Paste Magazine.  Other times I will hardly put on an album and spend time doing other things.  It’s not that I do not like music at times, it’s just not a focus.

Sometimes I read non-stop, but recently I have barely touched a book other than my Bible.  Give me another week or two and I’ll be reading like Rory Gilmore. (yes, I watch Gilmore Girls)

Video game playing comes and goes as well.  Just recently I started playing with my Nintendo DS again.  Why?  It seemed like a fun thing to do.  The Nintendo Wii will be sitting, unplayed for a couple of weeks now as I try to raise a farm and defeat monsters on my handheld game system.

So what’s the point of this?  Nothing, really.  Just and introspection into the life of Mick.
