I don't really need another thing in to fill up my life with. I have this strange need to finish everything that I've started, no matter how mundane. It's never a good thing for me to start something that really only ends when you decide to stop doing it. Like the game SimCity. It never ends. You just keep playing and playing and then in the end you just have to quit. I suppose I can eventually pull myself away from things like that, but it is fairly painful.
New hobbies are never good for me because I don't ever give up the old ones. I find myself working on different things and not liking it. I think, "Why do I do this?" My answer is always, "Because I have to get it done." It really doesn't make much sense, and I know it, but that knowledge isn't a sufficient weapon against that feeling I have that I need to finish.
But I'm resolved. I am eliminating a few of my hobbies and am never going to attempt them again. I have two guitars in my house that I never play. I have a bunch of wood carving tools that I never use. I even have a business that stresses me out to know end. All of these are henceforth done. I am selling some of those things on eBay or other such places because they are cluttering up my house and my life.
From now on my new hobbie is getting rid of old hobbies. The great thing about is, I won't be able to quit until I've finished.
