An Echo

in our life we say, there comes a time, there comes a day...when all is over, said and done...no words spoken can mend, no promise made can assure...our eyes are opened, we've met the end...
It is not the quantity of friends that we have that is important, but rather the quality of those friends we do have...

Get a Hobby


This is my life, respect it as I respect yours. I do not judge you for the way in which you choose to live yours nor do hold anything against you for it. We all have our flaws, our skeletons in our closets and I was not placed on this earth to pass judgment on you just as you weren't put here to place judgment on me.

If for some reason you feel that you have too much idle time on your hands and you cannot stop meddling in another's personal life, get a hobby. There are a number of things you can do I am sure that would suit you well, if you cannot think of anything, I will list a few for you to choose from.

1. Needle point - This is one that will occupy both your hands and your mind freeing you from the keyboard and with the intricate stitching and knotting it should keep your mind focused and off other people and their lives.

2. Knitting / Weaving - Another physical and mental hobby to occupy yourself with and keep you from judgmental activity of another.

3. Coin Collecting - This will just occupy you and have you going through your penny banks, pockets and those ashtrays you use to catch all that loose change around the house, sorting and mounting in coin books instead of going through someone else's personal life.

4. Stamp Collecting - This will have you looking forward to the mailman each day and going through old letters and postcards instead of going through someone's privacy.

5. Recipes - Cook up something for yourself and for your family instead of cooking up malicious gossip, your family will appreciate your efforts much more than the dish you are trying to serve up in a chat room.

6. Swizzle Sticks - Collect these. Take all that spare time you seem to have and head for the nearest bar, you can make days out of it. Choose several different bars each day and collect swizzle sticks. Inebriate your brain with alcohol and ruin your life and forget all about your feeble attempts at ruining someone else's.

7. Rock Collecting - This has to be one of the simplest hobbies there are. Rocks are everywhere you look. And if you find that you are running out of places to look, you can always tilt your head to one side and shake it vigorously. I am sure there will be a few gems that will fall from there and at the same time lighten that load of insipid and ignorant misinformation that seems to collect there.

8. Fishing - When you feel the need to sink your hooks into something, try a fish.

9. Bungee Jumping - Exhilarating, but try it with a twist, measure the distance to the ground and add a foot to the length of the bungee cord.

10. Music - Learn to play an instrument and sweeten the sour notes that always seem to issue forth from you.

11. Insect Collecting - This is a very good hobby to learn social skills and how to get along with others. Plus you keep to asphyxiate them and then stick pins through them, thus satisfying that need you get in doing it to others.

12. Swimming - This has always been a great hobby, but get creative with it and tie a cement block to your ankles. You will learn to hold your breath for longer periods and build up those leg muscles, instead of others always holding their breath when you come around.

These are just twelve out of hundreds and hundreds of hobbies you can find to keep your mind and body occupied instead of making other people's lives your hobbies. And if this fails and you cannot find a hobby, you can always get a life and start living your own instead of living vicariously through someone else's.

Later...
