Me: Besides what's included in my job description I like to:
1. Fossil hunt (I'll throw in crystal mining too).
2. Antique picking / auctions.
3. SCUBA dive (preferably for fossils).

@ farriss
My best friend my whole life since a child moved away to FLA many years ago but we have stayed in touch and he is Hungarian.
he taught me to say one sentence n Hungarian which I have been repeating to women for 35 years now and it is pronounced like this I think...
"Vee-Sant- La-Tash-Ra" or "Until We Meet Again" !!!
Thought you might get a Kick out of that story,
Regards from Montreal.

Cool idea db.
Here's mine:
1. Rockhound (also do some crystal mining (Mt. Ida, AR rocks - pun intended))
2. Clydesdale riding and driving - if you've never ridden a clydesdale its just like being on a big, warm, soft recliner
3. Storm spotting/chasing (chased my first tornado (Elmwood, IL) June 6, 2010) - lifelong weather enthusiast

Good Idea!
I am from Hungary, so my english could be better, but anyway...
1. cooking (I do love pizza and other italian stuff, like lasagne, pastas, full of garlic etc.)
2. drawing with my wacom table. (to be honest Prometheus has forced me to start creating an Alien comic titled Alien:Origins. The story takes place between the events of Aliens and Alien 3, however the story is independent on the original story line. )
3. My daugher, my cat :)
4. Animal protecting
5. French music

1-Sports. Played semi pro Hockey 30+ years ago and have been skating ever since I was 4 and even since I retired from pro Hockey. Play Football, Tennis and Golf as much as possible and any other sport I can, love em all.
2-Guitar/Music/Concerts. I spent some years and built up a home theater experience for myself which includes 13 Satellite Speakers and 3 Sub Woofers, is THX Certified and runs anything from stereo through PCM, 5.1 and DTS. Watch Most films at home now, it;s ten times better than anything else except for IMAX. I love live concerts and am a hug Rock and Roll fan. 1st show I ever saw Live was The Concert For Bangladesh...with Billy Preston {Will It Go Round In Circles"} and Ravi Shankar on The Citar but he was voilently sick with the flu that nite so his wonderful wife stepped in and took his place. Plus...3 of the 4 Beatles, Lennon couldn't make it that night. As the show started I asked my father what the white drug was people were all sticking in their ears close to the stage on the floor, and my Pop laughed at me and answered, "That's Cotton", "Their plugging their ears to keep from damaging them during the show from the loud sounds" Play guitar when I can and just love "jammin". My father was in charge of sales in Canada at Decca Records for many years so that's where that comes from. Bigh Black Crowes, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin fan and I am ON the Queen We Will Rock You DVD recorded at the Old Montreal forum in '79, in the audience and as a bright eyed 17 years old rock 'n rolla !!! Have been playing guitar for many years now and can pretty well carry the rhythm on most rock tunes but I had a terrible Football injury to might right hand a few years back and it;s only now back to about 98% of what it was. I tore the Right Thumb "Extensor Tendon" in half and it rolled up my arm so I needed transplant surgery to fix my thumb and hand. Broke the wrist bone right around it as well, aside form some scaring it;s hard to tell even now.
3-Film Collecting Have over 5,000 films including the entire first 5 pages of this list of the greatest films ever made. pride myself on my love and study of film and would have loved to been a director.
4-ART {Paintings & Sculptures} - Not making them, viewing them , I Love art, In fact I love anything creative and like to think I am a good judge of what is and what isn't but as I get older I realize how little about everything I really know.
5-I am wanna be ornithologist but all I got is pair of cheap Binoculars!
6-BBQ Beer & "Funny" Cigarettes {No Further enhancement necessary}
7-The Prometheus Forums and all things Alien !!!
