I'm obsessed with a certain bus company, not FirstGroup though. I just love......OK I don't like to say the name of my favourite bus company because I'm always scared someone else here might know about it and suddenly announce that they've heard they're going to go bust or something else is going to happen to it that is going to disappoint me. I'll rather not know - ignorance is bliss sometimes.

With your obsessions, do you ever get that feeling (the one I always get) where you prefer to find out about your interests for yourself, rather than have other people tell you? (Unless the people telling you are something to do with your interest, for example if I hear news about the company from one of the bus-drivers, it's OK with me, but if a random friend comes upto me and tells me something about it, I hate it. I don't hate it in a disapproval way, I just feel funny when I hear news, whether it's good or bad, from somebody else). Anyone else feel like that, or is it just me being so obsessed that I panic if somebody else knows more about it than I do?

I like politics, but more so revolutionary politics (agorism), programming ,entrepreneurship, business, stocks, finance, economics, electronics, online marketing, baseball, sports memorabilia, history somewhat, and video games, amongst other things.

Animals... Love them all. Wild animal documentaries are a sure way to make me happy. And indie music, big interest of mine. Those are the big two.

Also do a lot of sketching. Politics intrerests me vastly, but only the kinds far from what we have to day . Can read about anarkism for hours, for example. But these are not major interests. Yoga, horror movies, standup comedy, are other minor ones.

I do something similar, but to guns instead of bikes.


I have always had an interest in machine guns (not automatic rifles-what most people mistakingly refer to as "machine guns," though they are interesting as well). What types of firearms interest you?

Do you TIG weld, and have you ever heard of Scandium? If no, then forget I said anything, for your wallet's sake... :lol:


I'm fortunate to even have a fluxcore wire feed. I do the majority of my welds with a cheap buzzbox and the thinnest rods I can find. Scandium? sounds similar to "Scamming 'em"

Then there's my cockatiels, my music and recording gear, my maps, a game called Tripeaks solitaire, an Atari 2600 emulator, my books, my retifist stuff, and lately I'm obsessively shopping for more Crocs and collecting clear plastic shoe boxes to sort my other junk

Dogs are my favorite things, we connect better than humans do. I also have currently been playing zelda an awful lot again, and I like ninja warrior. Not that I could compete, I just like to watch it....
