What Is Your Hobby?

Most of us have a hobby. We may not realize it’s a hobby, however, if it’s something that we really enjoy doing and we research and learn how to perfect it, then it can probably be considered a hobby. Hobbies can range from minor interests to full-blown obsessive infatuations. Does it really matter though? As long as you enjoy it and it gives you something to do, who cares? Stamp collecting, living history, building birdhouses, woodworking, video games, and many other activities are considered hobbies, however, do not appeal to everyone. These are niche hobbies. Another niche hobby is fishing. Fishing does not appeal to everyone, however, the people that do find this hobby exciting and really get into it wholeheartedly. For example, my husband now believes himself to be a saltwater fisherman, even though we live nowhere close to the coast and only get to go twice a year. This, however, does not deter him from obsessively researching this hobby, as well as, compulsively purchasing equipment for this hobby.

The Downside to Not Being Able to Practice a Hobby Regularly

Although my husband enjoys saltwater fishing to the extent of it becoming a new hobby, there are some drawbacks when it comes to not being able to practice this hobby very often. For one, he purchases a lot of expensive equipment that he thinks may work but is not sure. He is slowly taking over the garage. Another drawback is the fact that you never really become excellent at something unless you can practice it. Living six hours from our favorite coastal vacation spot only allows him to be able to fish in the ocean maybe twice a year. This is not enough time to really get a feel for what he’s doing or find good fishing spots. When he catches something, it is mostly by luck or chance not necessarily skill.

Below are a few myths and facts that you may have wondered about, such as types of car soap, supplies, and other topics. This or That There might have come a time that you were out of car soap or heard from someone that dish detergent will clean your car. Well, it would CLEAN your vehicle, but dish detergent will actually speed up oxidation on the paint, and it will lead to a degradation of the paint job. A shiny car isn’t necessarily a clean car.
