Outside of the obvious hobby we all share, a passion for sports gaming and keeping up with professional/college sports, what are some of your hobbies?

Searched and couldn't find a "hobbies" thread within the last year, figured I'd start one up

I'm going to try to get a glider's (sailplane) license this coming summer. Very much looking forward to that!

Weather is a huge hobby of mine, but I also plan for it to be my future career, so I'm not sure if that really qualifies as a hobby.

I like model trains, but not much is going to be done with that until I get out of college and get space for them, which won't be for four years.

Star gazing.....I always loved looking at the planets and stars.

When I was a kid fishing. Hell I haven't went fishing in probably 12 or 13 years.

- Comic books

- i'm in the sports broadcasting trading hobby. Now before anyone flips out it's not illegal in fact, there's been prominent articles with one being done a year or so ago in ESPN The Magazine.

- Watching old movies. I tend to watch at least 3 old flicks a week.

- Taking walks in the summer.

EDIT: Gotmadskillzson mentioned fishing when he was younger. I used to enjoy fishing as well. I hope to get back into doing that sometime next year.

I am a serious petrol head. I am putting a cold air induction system on my Challenger RT Classic. I have already changed the gearing and tweaked everything a little bit. I am pushing 427 bhp with a little over 400 ft. lbs. of torque.

Beside that I love my comic books and I watch way too many movies.

3d modeling/animation. I am not too good at it but I enjoy it. I always loved cartoons/animation growing up but when I first saw the Listerine/Tarzan boy commercial I was like whoa!! I fired up the Amiga and thought, what do I do now. Unfortunatley I still ask that question most of the time.

Aviation. I love airplanes and like to go to good viewing spots near airports to watch landings and takeoffs. I can see a plane in the sky, if it's low enough, and tell you what kind of plane it is. I would like to learn how to fly one day.

Outside of gaming, It'd playing the Guitar, writing and recording music. Occasionally i'll break out a pencil and paper and draw a bit.
