Do you ever go on a kick about something??

I go through these episodes with things where I'm obsessed about it for a few, like my audio gear, then it might be my car, or fixing up the house, or a certain band, etc..

Lately I have been hooked on Joe Walsh, and Bill Hicks..

Maybe I'm just weird like my wife says I am.. B)

    Joe Walsh is a good thing Start with all the James Gang Lp's then with Barnstorm then the rest of the Joe Walsh solo stuff then Walsh with the Eagles. I go on kicks all the time Mountain Bikes, Fishing, and hunting gear, my Audio stuff, right now it's all about the Wife's new truck just got new side steps, a tonneau cover and a few other accessories for it.

    It is a man thing got enough stuff and all the hobbies covered but my weak spot is buying music just ordered the new Queensryche when I said to myself no more new tunes after the last purchase the other day, yeah the wife says I'm nuts be believe me she has episodes of her own, it's normal or maybe it isnt, the worst thing is when I get said episode I scour the Internet getting opinions on the next thing. It's normal right?

    Yep. I do the same thing with bands. I'll go a week or two listening to nothing but Rush, move onto Tool, onto Down, Johnny Cash, etc.

    oh, absolutely, man. I'm finding that it's usually some combination of vehicles, bikes, motorcycles, audio/video, home maintenance/improvement, but yeah, typically more obsessive about just one of them at a time for a while. sometimes, it's even a subset of one of those hobbies. for example, recently, cables. I guess maybe I get immersed to the point of burnout, then I take a break. most of the time find my way back at some point. photography was in there for a while. I still don't rule it out, just on hiatus, but have to say that's one hobby where the gear chase absolutely disgusted me.

    Same carp here I get fixated on something and can't stop researching and buying stuff. Now I'm into headphones 3rd set in 6 months and they get more expensive.

    Doesn't seem to matter what it is either could be home repair ; a couple of weeks ago I found a wall outlet online that have a usb for charging phones and tablets now every room in the house have at least one in it, fishing gear why does a man need five rods, reels, flys, on and on the wife thinks I'm mad.

    Cheers, Roger

    I like sneakers, audio, pc builds and rc toys but summers done so RC toys & sneakers go on the backburn and time for indoor electronics!
  • At some point I was into, dirtbikes, atvs, motorcross, streetbikes, roadracing, archery, paintball, target shooting, fishing, coyote hunting, beer making, carpentry, landscaping, astronomy, hiking, mtn. Biking. Sports cars, mechanics, audio, drawing /sketching, I'll stop there...so yeah I get on kicks too...just for kicks.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Dang man. I just have music, fishing, and video games. I have a DSLR camera but I wouldn't consider photography one of my hobbies. Same with cooking, I cook everyday but it's just a paycheck, not a love. I used to be a huge computer geek but that has fallen to the side. I have a passion for cars and have been to a track in CO once driving someone else's car. I would love to get into racing on the weekends but that's a hobby way out of my budget.

    Oh yeah, it's almost "seasonal" but rotates between: UTV-->Firearms-->Hi-fi-->Camping-->Tools. We're coming into Fall, so I'm focusing on hi-fi again.

    I am ocd, adhd and have an addictive personality. Therefore I have may several kicks going at the same time, no joke.....lol. At the moment it is just two, cars and audio.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    I ended up w/ a boat load of Beach Boys media and now
    I can't figure out how/why.
