jessecwalters Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 So, Im looking for some new hobbies, that are inexpensive and in the cbus area. Im looking for things to get me out of the house and make new friends. The only thing i really do is work, 3rd shift, with people twice my age. so I dont have the opportunity to make friends at work. I feel quite ghey posting this, but hey, Ive got nothing to lose. Also, if anyone was interested in learning some Ju-Jitsu, i was thinking about going to some classes by my house and trying that out.And yes, Im am aware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Well if you want to get in on the man love around here I would say buy a gun. Dogs are always a good choice. Since you work 3rd shift the thing will be asleep the entire time you are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessecwalters Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 have both. The only place I can shoot is like 30-45 mins away, and ammo can get expensive. and I have 2 dogs, that are quite high maintenance actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Steel-tip darts, $15 or so for a set that'll get you started, and around $40 for a board.Winter in-house league starts in January at Zuey's Roundback Bar, at High St. and Morse Rd., behind the Tee-Jaye's. Fun, competitive, all abilities welcome from "can barely hit the board" to "doesn't miss shit". Show up, watch, if you don't want to commit to a team at first you could be a sub, some team always needs one.Thursdays at 8pm. At least it gives you something to do while drinking beers.I'd say a third of the people in the league have a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessecwalters Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Well, I suck at darts, but it doesnt sound bad. But i work 3rd, and have to be at work at 10pm in hilliard, so i dont know how that would work. And my usual days off are monday and wednesday.

Mykill Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Unfortunately that is the downfall of night shift. Makes it difficult to have a social life for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessecwalters Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I thought about joining a gym, it was suggested by another, but it doesnt really push me into meeting new people. Bowling wouldnt be bad, but i dont have anyone to bowl with. I definitely like the crack idea though. Sounds like a good one to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 If you want something physical and skill-building check out Ohio Krav Maga and fitness:http://ohiokravmaga.com/More of a gym than a dojo, and somewhat of a community of like-minded folks that enjoy beating on each other. Beyond fighting, there is crossfit, cardio MMA, boxing, BJJ ...A lot of pushing each other to get better. Much more fun and social than when I used to train in more traditional martial arts...

jessecwalters Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Awesome. I will have to look into that. Thats kind of the point of getting a new hobby. force myself to be social, not really concerned with fitness, but its an added bonus.

DucatiDern Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Slot cars my man. Last Christmas I bought my son a set. I freaking love it. My basement has a huge 1/32 scale set up. It's not what it used to be. Cars are programmed to controller and not lane so you can make passes. We have 8 cars on the track at once. 6 human and 2 computer. The wife even likes it.

Bad324 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 When I lived in Indy I was in the exact same situation. As a displaced Browns and Buckeyes fan, I was fortunate to find both the Browns Backers Club and the OSU Alumni Club. The Alumni club was great, I wasn't an OSU Alumni but they welcomed me with open arms. If you wanna play sports and make some friends then try using SportsMonster.net. I played in a couple of their leagues here in CLE when I didn't have enough people to bring me own team to a league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dog is on his schedule and it drives his wife insane because the dog is up all night barking and wanting to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
