t – That’s Me

Some time ago, I fixed my computer monitor after I was told it was shot and I needed to buy a new one. Gave myself a lesson 101 in electronics, I did. That was fun and fulfilling. I am crafty, preferring to come up with my own things versus copying someone else or getting a kit. I enjoy painting but not on canvas. I enjoy yard-sale shopping, especially when I find something useful outside its original intended purpose.

What else do I like to do......? Hmmmmm... That is part of what I am discovering. I've spent so much of my life doing what everyone else wants to do, and mind you, I can enjoy lots of different things, but I have put my own wants and desires behind everyone else for a very long time.

I've not ever been to a winery though I would probably enjoy, at least certain ones, given the right aesthetics. City. Country. Window Shopping. Nature Viewing. Eating/Dining (I do enjoy a good little hole-in-the-wall). Arts - crafted and performing overall. I like taking pictures. Don’t know if you can call it photography or not. A professional photographer friend of mind refers to such as faux-tography. Not a big water sports person, nor fishing, really, though, if I were to get into fishing, I think it would be Fly Fishing. I like volleyball....a lot..., though have never played the same since I messed up my rotator cuff. I've actually been pondering getting into something like kick-boxing. I use to punch and kick a tetherball I had while growing up, and knowing I enjoyed that, I recently installed one in my back yard and yes, I do use it. I like horses and horseback riding but I am not a pro rider by any means. Hiking on wooded trails has always been good, though I would need to work up stamina for longer and higher endurance venturings. I’ve just started bike riding. I had the most amazing time doing a zip-line/adventure course recently. Pinball? Love it. I grew up playing Pinochle as well as Rummy and Spades, though rusty now. Would probably enjoy Bridge. Golf? Don't know. Never played before. Might like it. Might not. I enjoy many types of movies. “Shawshank Redemption” is one of my all time favorites as is “O’ Brother Where Art Thou.”

I am..... I am what? I am very outside the box in one hand and very enclosed in the other. I am eclectic by nature, enjoying many facets of the arts and overall wonders of life in the world.

I have my own thoughts and ideas; ponderings and perspectives, as do we all.  And oh yeah…… I like to write.
