QUESTION: If you could take up ANY random hobby…

If money and time were no limitations, what random hobby would you take up and why?!?

Think about it: if you could learn ANY new skill, compete in ANY sport you had never participated in before, learn ANY new language…etc, and you had the time and money to do it; what would you do.

There are two things I’d really love to do.

The first would be to learn a new language. I’m not sure which language exactly. Maybe Welsh since it’s where my people supposedly come from. Or I might like to learn Hebrew…old Hebrew …and I could read the Old Testament to my son at night in the original language! (No need for “Bible nerd” jokes, thank you).

The second thing I would really love to do would be to learn to sword fight. Come on! It has no practical use in the modern world today (when I’m I going to go grocery shopping with a sword strapped to my side?) but you have to admit it’s an empowering skill to learn. I mean list  ”sword fighting” as a job skill on your resume and see if potential employers don’t give you a second interview just to ask if you’re serious.  And the cardio-muscular workout gained from hours of sword-training my be an added bonus too. u

These are my random hobbies I’d take up…if I could.

What about you?

If you could take up ANY random hobby, what would it be?

  1. I am totally with you when it comes to sword fighting. I’ve always wanted to learn fencing– I think it would be a great way to stay in shape while also pretending to be Jack Sparrow a few times a week.

  2. Boxing. I’ve always wanted to do womans boxing as a sport.
    And… That’s all I’ve got.

  3. I am currently pursuing new hobbies, so I’ve been thinking about this quite often lately. So far I’m stuck with the easy-to-finance hobbies, but if money were no option, I’d LOVE to learn more about woodworking…like…with the tools where you can make chair rails and bedposts and table legs and stuff. Do you know which tools I mean? I think I would make magic wands in different designs and market them for birthdays… A money-making hobby, I guess!

  4. 1. Watching my hot, muscle-y husband practice sword fighting… ;)
    2. I would get more serious about the hobbies I have now, but have no time for–photography, swimming, creative cooking, dancing, yoga.
    3. And for a totally new hobby/skill I would learn to slow down, say “no”, smell roses, and other things that I’ve only read about in stories… ;)
