OT: Other than Michigan Football, what are you into?

Submitted by The Mad Hatter on

Since there is absolutely nothing going on in the world of Michigan football at the moment, I was wondering what my fellow MGoBloggers are into outside of Michigan athletics.

Are you a train nerd?  Do you build tiny dollhouse furniture like that guy on The Wire?  Serial killer?

Urban exploration in the summer.



I went to the Silverdome last August. Freaky stuff. There's no roof anymore and the field (or what's left of it) is like a waterbed.



The ads for History Channel are still in the place.



I went to Hamtramck Stadium a couple years ago, Miami Marine Stadium in 2012 to name a few notable places.

I saw a video of a kid doing bike tricks in the old stadium. Neat, but sad as I remember going there to watch Barry play. And Isaiah play. And my HS team play....

 

man I'm old.

I'm into pretending that I read a ton by quoting Dostoyevsky and talking about doing my expected kids nursery in Camus theme, but really I just watch a bunch of Family Guy.

I watch a lot of movies, usually catching good ones within a day or two of its release. Luckily I live in NYC so we get every limited release and we have a number of phenomenal cinemas that show great independent movies that don't get play at your standard AMC or Regal. Unfortuantely it's at the point now where I have trouble focusing when I try to watch a movie on Netflix at home because of how immersing the theater experience is in comparison.

Would highly recommend moviepass, it's essentially a credit card for buying movie tickets that you don't have to pay off. $45/month in NYC for the option to get a ticket every calendar day, but it's cheaper in other parts of the country (I think around $30). Tickets at a theater usually run $15 a pop here so it's easily worth it for me, saves me a ton of money and allows me to see everything in the theater without worrying about cost.

It's a geeky table top game with cool star wars spaceship models where you pretend to go pew pew. 

I also love to play soccer, but haven't been able to play as much lately. 

Once my house is done this fall I'm hoping to have more time to do more stuff.

I'm huge into the folk punk scene right now

I also am a huge tech geek (raspberry Pi projects have kept me busy for a minute) 

I love smoking pot

I also am trying to do a better job lately of helping my fellow man. I can do a better job in this regards.

oh man,  I recently found out that at 36 years old I'm going to be a father for the first time. 

I'm trying to be slightly more grown up. 

I fail more often then I succeed.

Funny thing is this was totally unexpected, had no idea it was coming, but I can't wait.

I'm by no means pro-diaper, but pretty soon they'll roll your eyes at you and say "good" when you ask them how school was and "nothing" when you wonder what they learned.  We're finishing potty training on our youngest now, but my oldest is finishing second grade and growing up fast.  So while diapers do in fact suck, the older they get, the older you get.

the hours are long but the years are short mean alot to me at this phase. 

 

I'm deliberately trying to enjoy my son's little boy-ness. He gets so crazy excited over things its a hoot. My daughter is 10 and enjoys time with me, but she's well started down the tween path too.

my daughter is 7 and loves making lists...

for a while there was being judy bunny whatever her name is from Zootopia and give everyone in the house tickets.  the best was when she kept spelling 'erested' on all of the tickets.

 

ah kids...  the only true joy in this world maybe...
