Well I give you props for that I dont think I could ever be a stay at home dad. I work and while at work I spend most of my time on the net answer phone calls here and there.

For fun I like to go to the movies with friends and work on my coupe

I take pictures. Lots of them. Of friends, of family, of strangers, of babies... the occasional car or two, maybe a sunset or a nice view.

I hang out with friends, go out to eat A LOT. Ask any SoCal member whose hung out with me about me and food and they'll tell you.

Haven't touched either of my cars for over a year, nor spent money on either other than maintenance or gas for even longer. I used to live in the garage before then though.

I spend a lot of time learning/doing web design for my site, or messing with pictures in photoshop to learn that.

Sometimes I'll just go for a drive... living in SoCal its great that there's so many different things to see. Within a 2 hour drive I can literally see the valleys, the deserts, the mountains, the beaches, and even be in Mexico if I wanted. So, I drive.

My life is mostly keeping up with shoots, going on small weekend trips to Vegas/San Diego/Santa Barbara, the occasional concert, eating out 40 times a month, baseball games every once in a while, and hanging out with friends. I don't have time for TV, I hate whats on mostly anyway. I probably watch about 2 hours of TV a week, 5 minutes of American Idol when Katherine McPhee is on, and usually the History/Discovery/Learning channel on Sundays. I'll catch Iron Chef if I can, or MXC if it happens to be on. Otherwise, TV sucks.

Oh yeah, and eating. I love to eat.

Guys I think we all know we like to eat food. Its something we do to survive..lets leave it at that

Oh how wrong you are my friend. To some people, eating is not just to survive. When I speak of "going out to eat," I mean trying new and interesting things, comparing flavors or styles, having different places make the same thing to see which you enjoy and why. As SOL Food Marchelle puts it, "You're such a food connoisseur."

For example... eating to survive is like a Saturday afternoon, too busy or lazy to cook or go get something to eat, so you make yourself a sandwich.

Eating out, as I've described it here, is a 32 oz. aged prime rib from Lawry's, medium rare, with garlic mashed potatoes and a nice, dark, full bodied beer.

and watching your girlfriend order a salad at a steakhouse. That always amazes me.

When I'm not on JDMCC I'm at work or school(like I am now on break). I'm driving my car or hanging out with friends. Also, I play a lot of paintball I play every weekend, I'm offical target practice for the team I'm trying to get on. That's what I do when I'm not here.

hah, well normall like now, when i'm at work i'm on here. besides that helping my girl get the last bit of details planned for our wedding in august, study fire & paramedic info, and workout. i test almost all over cali trying to get hired as a firefighter so that w/ working full time doesn't leave me much time to play. i like to shoot hoops, grab a few beers, and hang with ma homies when I get a chance.

i like to watch TV, go to movies (saw Benchwarmers last night), I actually like working where I do, and I love hours of Xbox Live playing Halo 2. if i'm just waiting for class, i sit with some friends who enjoy my sarcasm and we mess with people walking by. I get really good grades and actually spend no time studying so I have a lot of free time

You have no idea how digital horizion is about food. I only wish I could be the same way.. it's like a hobby to find the best of everything for him. If I ate like that I'd turn tight back into a lard ass!! Plus I don't know anybody around here actually willing to eat anything besides steak or chicken. So boring.

anyhow for fun.. I used to enjoy car stuff and singing but lately my idea of getting out and doing anything other than being in the house is a trip to wal mart. I guess my fun now is a midnight wal mart run.

we have 24 hour wal marts.. it's so annoying though cuz I go out of complete boredom and spend money on stuff we don't need... I guess that's what they are counting on though :p

If I wasn't so broke right now I'd head out there tonight cuz I'm going stir crazy.

ahhh yes eating out is fun... i love just going out to eat where i havent aten before just to see the service and the quality of food... havent hit up the high end places cause im borderline broke... but i just started trying "asian" foods and damn im LOVING it.. dimsung (hope thats how you spell it).. like i said dimsung is fawken great... i was never really into sea food but now im open to it... heard escargo is great too but im a lil .... "scared" to eat it.... i am happy with some baked potatoe soup and some filet minon or fetucini alfredo with blackend chicken and a bit of spice... .. ... but other than eating my thing is hanging out with friends, heading out to the beach and meeting new people, i like going out to watch movies and having a few drinks while im out... one of my biggest past times is working on cars... the BIGGEST PAST TIME is... spending time with my fiance.. i luv her to death and enjoy spending time with her... except when shes on "the time of month"... and she gets all cranky and i prefer staying home then... eheh...

I average 1-2 autrocrosses a month, I hike, draw (pencil, ink, pastels), paint, go to music shows, started snowboarding this last season, jog, walk, and spend a lot of time with my two boys.
When I was a kid I aspired to become a herpetologist, so now my kids and I go out and do field studies etc.. We are kind of a nerd family, I teach my kids a lot of science so we dabble with phycics and stuff.
