Keep it coming Dawgnation. this is a fun and very interesting thread.
@texdawg That's really cool about the furniture. My fiance and I this last week have been thinking about getting into the furniture flipping as a side gig, potentially full time if it takes off.
My great grandfather had a furniture refinishing shop for 60 years in Florence, SC. My dad used to build furniture as a hobby too. And I worked at a furniture store all throughout high school. So it's in the blood.
As for hobbies, I play guitar and sing. I went and tried out for American Idol one year back in 2006. Drove to Birmingham, AL and waited in line for a whole day, then didn't do my best during my 12 seconds of opportunity, but it was a memory. I used to play gigs in here in Savannah just me and my guitar.
I'm also an artist and love to build things. Don't really do much drawing or painting these days, because I'm a designer by trade. But here's a Gold Addy award winning poster series I designed:
(Storm Soldiers is a movie about linemen...er...the electric sort.)
I flip bows...
I like to buy used compound bows, fix 'em up, tune them and shoot them about 200 times, and then resell them. Not necessarily to make a lot of $$$, but just as a hobby.
Shooting a bow is my driving range... peaceful, quiet, relaxing...
Not the most exciting hobby, but I enjoy it.
Is this your artwork?
That's cool.....I'm not a bow hunter......but my nephews and brother in law are really into it.
My son is starting to get into it.
Drugs and playing music are what I excel at.
Still trying to figure out this father/husband thing. It's a work in progress.
Well I'm lame...😔
Well......I'll never give marriage advice. I'll just say its hard.......but worth it. The past 27 years of marriage have been the most difficult, most rewarding, most frustrating and greatest times of my life. Couldn't imagine life without her......and there were certainly times in the past I considered giving up on it. Will never consider it again.
My advice on being a father......although you never asked..... never let a day go by without telling your son or daughter that you love them. And hug and kiss them as often as possible.
I don't kiss my 6'5 1/2" 215lb son anymore.....but I hug him every day. And I kiss my 17 year old daughter on her forehead everyday.
I've made a lot of mistakes as a father......but my kids have never gone to bed wondering how their dad feels about them.
Good luck with trying to figure it out. It's worth it.
Let's put about 20-30 lbs on that boy and send him to UGA... I always wanted to play TE, all the recruiters laughed at me when I measured out at 6'1.
I grew up in a house where the words "I love you" were never said. Many times family members would go days without speaking to each other. I made a vow to myself that when I started my own family I would make sure my wife and kids would never doubt how felt. I tell my wife I love her multiple times a day especially in times she's feeling insecure or down. For better or worse has been hard, but I'm a man of my word and I signed up for this. I have been married for just under 5 years, but I couldn't imagine life without her. We have our first child on the way. I will make sure she knows her daddy loves her and how a man should treat his wife.
