What are you passionate about?

[Niccolò Rossi]

Every one of us has things we are passionate about, things that drive us in our day to day lives, hobbies and interests that we sacrifice time and effort for. It also happens that all kinds of people have all kinds of passions and drives. I think this fact is what makes life so interesting and colourful.

It might be sport, or art, or craftwork, or literature, or music, food, family, etc. etc. etc.

So what are you passionate about?

Nic.

P.S. Also I assume political militancy is a passion for just about everyone here, so lets forget about it for a minute, shall we?

[Os Cangaceiros]

I'm fairly passionate about watching and collecting lost, obscure and B-grade films, specifically of the horror/exploitation genres (although I also watch horror films that are genuinely well-made). So far I've seen somewhere between 300 to 400 horror films, and an unknown number of obscure low-budget scifi, sexploitation, giallo, WIP films, "category 3 films", pinku eiga, "pinky violence" films, 70's & 80's action, Naziploitation and assorted other subgenres.

[Widerstand]

I honestly can't think of something :'(

[RedStarOverChina]

Food. I'm a proud foodie.

[Bright Banana Beard]

There is literally nothing I am passionate on anything. Nothing...

[Comrade Wolfie's Very Nearly Banned Adventures]

Archaeology. My son. Preventing Electric jews from brainwashing people. PC gaming. Star Trek

[Lord Testicles]

Awww. So can we all feel bad together :s

I don't think there is any reason to feel bad, we're just more boring than some people. (Maybe not as boring as Comrade Wolfie with his passion for star trek and digging up things that people threw away hundreds of years ago.)

[Il Medico]

Nothing really. Perhaps we have a different definition of passion, Nic. If I had to say one thing it would be art, as that is my greatest interest, especially literature (as that I what I hope to one day fail to make a living on). But it's hardly one of those all consuming things that I imagine when someone talks about a passion. Dunno, I suppose I'm the archetype of the apathy generation; I don't care too terribly about anything anymore.

[Quail]

Food. I'm a proud foodie.
I like food too. Well, I like cooking.

I'm also a proud trekkie and I'm fairly passionate about creative stuff - drawing and writing mostly. Of course I'm also passionate about my son :)

[ZeroNowhere]

Literature, definitely. Also music, and theorizing about more or less everything.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Punk rock

I used to be kind of passionate about that...not the culture/style so much (which always came off as kind of lame to me), but definitely the music. I still have a fairly large knowledge of various bands, mostly Hardcore...

As far as music goes, though, I've kinda switched to electronic genres. I'm not really "passionate" about electronic music, but it's something I've dabbled in. The subculture that's attached to it (or at least the stereotype of the culture that exists in my head) is also a lot more appealing than some other musical subcultures I can think of, namely punk and metal.

[Quail]

The only thing I'd change about that is the lack of bed. Where would one have sex?

[#FF0000]

Music, writing, and gaming in general.

[Quail]

I do like gaming, but I generally play really lame games. My favourite ones are Harvest Moon, Dragon Quest and Heroes of Might and Magic.

[Lord Testicles]

If anyones house looked like that, I don't think they'd have to worry about sex. Maybe Klingons, but not sex.

(You knew someone had to say it.)

literature definitely. cant say anything else has helped me in my darkest times

[Spawn of Stalin]

Like RedStar I am also a foodie, other than that I am passionate about weird pretentious fashion and American comics.

Art, poetry and I guess that's about it as far as things that are healthy.

Jajaja! No. I'm not very passionate about that. I have political views but I don't feel too idiologically passionate. I'm the diet coke of political I guess...

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

I do like gaming, but I generally play really lame games. My favourite ones are Harvest Moon, Dragon Quest and Heroes of Might and Magic.

I wish they'd make a Harvest Moon for 360, hell, I'd even save up for a PS3 if they made a new harvest moon for it. A Wonderful Life was definitely the best in the series though it was hard as fuck.

I only had AWL for PS2 and it was laggy as fuck :(
So I never got past the first year.
My favourite has to be Back to Nature :)

I'm so cool...

[Lyev]

hmm, music I suppose - listening, collecting, playing, the history, the culture and whatnot - and also, like others have mentioned, whilst I can't really cook a great a deal, I love food. Other than that, I am passionate about film and litertature, poetry. And also people in general, but maybe that is cheesy and being passionate about people is often somewhat problematic, it's so easy to be apathetic.

[Quail]

I'm pretty passionate about certain music. I'll look in second hand record shops for ages just to get singles for the b-sides. :blushing:

[Pirate Utopian]

Smokin' motherfuckers like it ain't no thang.

I have some unhealthy passions too, but I'll leave those to the Pour Your Heart Out thread :blushing:

[Niccolò Rossi]

Nothing really. Perhaps we have a different definition of passion, Nic.

Perhaps. I hope the word isn't too dramatic. I just mean things that you love. When you've had a hard day with work/school/family what is your escape, what cheers you up, what helps pass the time.

I mean if you don't love doing anything, what's the point of living? Everyone has hobbies and interests no matter how petty or silly they may seem.

Nic.

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

Music, revolution, sociology, politics and art in general really. I am a passionate person in general though.

[Niccolò Rossi]

I love strength sports - powerlifting, weightlifting, strongman - and lifting in general. Naturally, an interest in diet and nutrition follows from this.

I'm surprised we havn't seen any of the football fanactics post yet. I suppose they are too busy in the sub-forum next door...

Oh, well then, I have a few honestly. Writing Poetry and Prose, Reading, Music, Learning French, Football (soccer, watching only), taking photographs, etc.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

After a long hour of thinking I've come up with a few....

Smoking, drinking, playing music...ummm... eating...yeah.

[Comrade Wolfie's Very Nearly Banned Adventures]

I have some unhealthy passions too, but I'll leave those to the Pour Your Heart Out thread :blushing:

You don't need to feel as though they are taboo passions. Lots of people care about you. both on revleft an in IRL.

[Political_Chucky]

Oh shit are you one of those people who joins scoialist parties just so you can fuck the women? You suck bro, for seriously, shame on you.
noooooo not at all lol. I have yet to meet any women(or men) that are even close to my politics, in person anyways. I have a tatt of an Anarchist symbol though on my neck and sometimes it brings up discussions and I'll talk to girls about it and what it means. One exception I guess could be made with my x who after talking with her about Anarchism, she started reading into Emma Goldman and liking it, but I had sex with her b4 the politics came into the picture anyways haha.

I haven't fucked a girl based soley on my politics though, and if they were naive to do so because of that, then I wouldn't see that being my fault anyways.

[the last donut of the night]

It's hard to say. Maybe because I'm too young to be sure. What am I passionate about? Well, excluding politics, the main thing would be the world. It sounds like bullshit, but I have a burning passion for the smallest details in nature, especially. Anybody who's read Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard knows what I'm talking about. I feel that this world is extremely beautiful, despite the last 10,000 years of misery of our condition. Aside from that more general thing, I'd say music. Although I don't make music (wish I could but I literally have no sense of rhythm), music has gotten me through my lowest moments so far, and will continue to when I hit even lower ones. I can say music saved my life. So has literature, but not to that extent. (Although reading LoTR always cheers me up.) So I guess that's it.

i know, tl;dr

[the last donut of the night]

ska is my cheer-me-up music

Being a rebel to society has its flashy benefits to the opposite sex;)
Yeah, uh, no. I'm not fond of distractions from my flashy glamor and glitter. I guess I'm a princess like that.

Often-times, music (particularly indie music)

interesting real-life stories, other people, & interesting and charming women.

Perhaps we are similar in that respect, I've become more apathetic over the years.

However everyone, don't ever think I'll go the way of LSD or that other poster who turned conservative; I'm not exactly (or only) apathetic of left politics but more of the whole political system

[Martin Blank]

History, writing and cooking are probably my passions. I build models (kits and digital); associated with this, I enjoy dabbling in engineering (how to build bridges using certain methods; designing houses and buildings; etc.) and mechanical physics. I'm fascinated by historical documentaries, especially if they involve military history.

I can't call politics a passion. I've been doing it too long for that. To me, politics is as much a passion as breathing. It's something I have to do, not something I choose to do.

[Niccolò Rossi]
