I'm talking hobbies, sports, genres, fandoms, techniques, literally anything you would like to try out, and if by a chance you liked it, to continue working on it? Might be a bit redundant question phrase there, like, what would you even bother trying out if you didn't thought of engaging further into it, right? Still, just wanted to point out that this would be about things you would love to try that aren't some foodstuffs or games, something that isn't a "one-time-thing". I for instance, would love to try out acting or singing (or anything involving music basically). I think I would surely love pursuing such art even if I sucked at my first attempt. Seems like a loads of fun, and seems somewhat useful. Sadly, since I gotta study now for my exams, and since grandma is staying over at this apartment, I cannot get myself a synth or a ukulele (still joggling between two) without being asked questions and without being at least once "talked to" about doing that stuff when I could study during that time. I like to draw stuff, and whenever my family even snuffs out that I made a sketch, would ask me why did I bother drawing and why didn't I "listen at class" or some stuff. I know that I am supposed to be a fucking calf at this point and not do anything but chew grass, but gimme a break! I can rarely focus when I am inspired or when I am thinking about something too deeply, so lemme blow off the steam first before I continue staring at the wall and mooing in sync to the church bell, damnit. Same goes with clay sculpting (of miniatures, not real-size statues or shit). I have already designed a mecha miniature which would proudly bear the family name, and I would gladly share my plans (I made the measurements on paper... several pieces of them actually, all according to ISO), weren't for the fact that my phone is currently sucking the devil's dick and is enjoying it. Either way, I do feel like my art needs a extra dimension, so what can be a better way of achieveing this if not for modelling and sculpting miniatures out of my OCs  I swear, once grandma leaves my apartment I am just gonna go on a shopping spree and get all the stuff I need. I had been planning on both for months now. |

1. singing, something popular like rap or pop -- but sadly my voice sounds like ass and my horrible diction doesn't help. Perhaps I can start a SoundCloud rapping career, rebrand myself into Lil Xeep and become a living, walking MEME?? Sounds so compelling!
2. acting in movies, but I suck at it definitely.
3. volleyball on a more devoted basis, rn I play it 3x a week at PE class. It's a very exciting sport, unlike football (mainstream and overhyped) and basketball (gay).
4. boxing or kick-boxing. rn I'm doing aikido which is cool, but boxing is kinda GRAND, prestigeous, and kinda chivalrous, while kick-boxing is kinda badass and brutal. However I'm quite skinny, unstable and not really the "fighter" kind of personality, so I'd probably not reach any kind of heights. I might give it a shot when I go to university tho.
5. some dance. I've been considering legit starting doing Zumba, as it seems cool, but I'm kinda put off by the fact that I'd most likely be the only male in the group... like, kinda gay isn't it?? On the other hand, you could consider it, like, the exact opposite of gay, so I'm confused. Whaddya y'all think??
6. some musical instrument. Guitar -- neat but kinda gay and mainstream; piano -- gay, cumbersome, mainstream and quite gay; accordeon -- Slavic and folk af, but supposedly very difficult; drums -- cumbersome, totally not gay, but kinda can't really work on its own. But damn, I'd like to make some MYU-ZECK!
I'm a big dreamer so this isn't even a half of the full list but I also have a bad memory, meaning that I can't remember all those dreams right now hahaha

With regards to dancing, I don't really dance so I dunno what you could try. Ballet prolly sounds gay right now, and everything else is kinda fancy-shmancy a bit too much eh? To be honest, pretty much only time when I enjoyed dancing was when I tried to learn the Haruhi dance, I got halfway through learning it and then had to stop, dunno why did I stop though, those moves were pure FIRE. I pretty much nailed down the moves properly, and, if I dared to continue, could have learned it entirely and be able to whip out badass dancing moves. Although, I have to say, when done alone, these type of dances don't achieve the full effect as a synchronized group can. If anything, I would try to look for dancing lessons or whatever with regards to K-pop boy bands. This isn't 100% manly, but it isn't gay or stupid really, you wouldn't believe how many girls love these guys. Also since yo slav, here is a news clip of my countrymen pronouncing k-pop as KA-POP, dear god... ka-pop...Also, I kinda know how to play the piano (not the big cumbersome concert hall piano, more like a western saloon bar piano), and that is why I am still thinking between getting a smol MIDI keyboard or a ukulele after I pass my exams. I can already play the entire Doom 1 and Doom 2 soundtracks + stuff from other shooters on any piano-like instrument, but I dunno shit about strings. Since guitars are cumbersome for me (I tried), I am considering ukulele. |

I've always enjoyed comedy standup and I listen to a lot of podcasts with comedians that talk about how they do what they do. I think I have the drive to write as often as they do, considering how often I write posts here. I really think I have it in me to write a really good hour set, but I don't think I have it in me to make a career out of it.
The thing that almost all comedians have in common is that they commit their lives to it. They're on the road a lot, they're married to a strong woman who is ok with their husband being on the road for long stretches of time, they often don't have a very present relationship with their kids, and they have to travel, take risks, and do activities they otherwise would have little interest in doing just to keep the flow of material going to write jokes and stories with.
I might be able to plan for a couple open mic's just to get it out of my system. As pretentious as it sounds, I'm actually afraid of discovering that I'm really good at it. I understand the process of building up a premise, effective punchline delivery, misdirection, brevity, working the crowd, speaking confidently in front of strangers, etc. I'm scared of another comedian telling me that I'm cut out to do something like this for a living. The comedian lifestyle looks really appealing to me for all my selfish reasons. I'm already married and have a house and it's really not fair to my wife for me to pursue a career that's going to require all of my attention all of the time. She may as well be living alone without having to work, which sounds nice until she has no one to share her free time with. I love her too much to do that to her.

Go to an open mic 40, film it and show it here I’d be drying to see that! Forget about an hour at the start too, aim for 5 or 10 decent minutes of material. When you’re up in front of that mic a minute can seem like an hour, especially if your stuff isn’t getting over.

I just think I have the writing discipline to eventually do it. Have you ever tried an open mic before? I have a teeny bit of public speaking experience from meetings at work but that's about it. I think I can hype people up enough to get them to follow my train of thought and then eventually say some pretty dark twisted stuff that will make them laugh without hurting any feelings. |

I've always wanted to learn an instrument (probably electric guitar to be like the songs I like) but always feared I'll be shit, so have never tried. I think that's the main thing I would indulge in that I could already realistically be doing. Less realistically, I'd love to be an IRL car collector with a fucking warehouse full of my treasures.

I'd also like to learn an instrument, although my hopes are more unrealistic as it is the piano and that shit is expensive.

Aye, we had a problem with drummers too... ;P
The one kept going to rehab, didn't have his own taste and seemed to be in it to "prove himself" and the second was an arrogant retard who kept going on about how the bands myself and the other guitarist wanted to style ourselves after was "a step beneath him" and started dressing up in panda suits while drumming.
He cited the drumming here as "objectively a step below him", fucking lol.

Playing an instrument.
I was really close to getting guitar lessons at some point, but since I don't exactly have supportive parents when it comes to my passions and interests it never happened. I'll see what happens when I'll get a job (which, being 21, is not far away). Until then I settled down for singing, but I'm not doing a brilliant job. I first tried, and still do, black metal vocals similar to Legion on Marduk's Heaven Shall Burn/World Funeral, and any Limbonic Art stuff, then later picked on death growls similar to Masse on Hypocrisy's Penetralia (can't get anywhere near his screams on Osculum Obscenum... ).
I'd also like to play other instruments like a flute or a synth, I want variety in whatever I end up composing, or multiple projects if not, it's not going to be either fast-as-fuck or brutal-as-inhumanly-possible, screw that. And I wouldn't play just metal anyway, I'm into dark ambient, folk, and epic stuff as well.
Some people have also recommended me to try out acting. I can't say I don't see why, and maybe at some point I'll give it more serious thought since this idea keeps popping up lately, but right now I'm not seriously considering it an option.
And maybe find a sport to practice. I used to play tennis and I'd still do, but what prevents me from doing it is the simple fact that the experience of the time can simply not be replicated nowadays, more precisely, all the people I played with were either friends or persons I knew personally, and they're all gone in different cities or even countries with other problems today. Playing with strangers will just not be the same...
I would also like to use a gun, so I'm certainly considering spending some time at a shooting range when I can in the future.
