I need a new hobby...

Something that will keep me active...

Mmm...

Maybe martial arts?

Before I had my son I used to do medieval re-enactment. It was surprisingly fun. Most of it was just getting together learning proper sword techniques, but then we'd have "events" where we got to play our characters. We even had a blacksmith with a real, working forge. I know it's not for everyone, but, if you give sword fighting a chance... im sure anyone would love it.

edit: if you really are at the 100th meridian, and its not just a tragically hip reference... there is a group called the SCA in manitoba. the local chapter is called "kingdom of Northshield"
What is acoustic? Oh, you means a grandpa's guitars? A grandpa's guitars? That's for pussies and grandpas. I think you know it.

I feel like Ive dedicated too much time, money and effort into guitars.

Time to move on. Life has so many more interesting things to offer.

Just play a guitar for fun when you feel like it. I don't think it's an either or situation, any old 'A' guitar will do. Even if you feel you are done, as I think you have in the past, just stick it under the bed because sooner or later you'll get the itch.

I play and sing a lot (acoustic) but I've bought no guitar gear for more than a few years.

I need to distribute my free time more evenly.

Guitars have gotten most of it these last few years...

Either playing, researching, buying, selling or just talking shit about them, like i am now etc.

I feel like i need to give the old body a little bit of that time too. Im rawking 215lbs. Its not good for my back or self steem.

Was being serious about my SCA suggestion. It's a great way to lose weight/stay in shape and you can take out your frustrations on a fully armored opponent and the cops won't get called.

Not the same but sort of..


I've done martial arts before. Sparring is fun.

Though i remember some opponents go for hurting you as opposed to practicing good technique.

wushu sword routines are amazing to watch.
