Hobbies? Do Me A Favour I Have Three Kids

March 8, 2010

]Hello, my name is Graham and I am an activityholic. I think I will use this blog to introduce a new word into the English language.

I was asked the question at the weekend, what are your hobbies? After stopping laughing I had a few thoughts but the first was the following.

I am currently doing six projects, quite a few of which are in the startup phase ie; getting them off the ground demands more work. I run a business that requires me to be there and dealing with people face to face, something I really like doing in the huge majority of cases.

I maintain three blogs with content on a very regular basis and also have a heavy presence in the social networks to promote those blogs and other websites as well as doing a bit of online networking and yapping with friends.

I have four books on the go currently although only two are being read out of choice, meaning I want as opposed to feel I need to read them. (Having two though must mean that reading is a hobby of mine but that answer always sounded lame when I was a kid and still sounds lame today)

According to whois I currently have 83 domains in my hands. Enough said?

I am co-authoring a book which is taking up a lot of time too although it is looking very good.

Most importantly I have a wife who works full time as a teacher in front of 29 four year old kids each day and comes home tired and three kids who not only want and need to see their dad but also require said dad to be the main taxi driver as they negotiate the World.

So what's my hobby? Life I suppose. How many hours are there in a day? If you have read the post about Injuries and Slowing Down you will know that I play soccer on Fridays and despite having a losing team, another cross to bear at the moment, we enjoy the games and banter so Friday afternoon football is my hobby. (Oh and watching Liverpool matches on TV)

When this madness is over and I do have more time because the projects have come off and they leave behind income streams and the automated systems do what they should do, well then I will get more heavily into photography by getting myself a digital SLR and giving myself time to play with it and I will get back on the exercise bandwagon especially walking around the mountains near to Valencia because in the weather we have normally in Spain that is just glorious.
