Convince me to do something I haven't done before. Anything.

Basically, I have a few weeks with little to no obligations and plenty of free time. While SC2 will undoubtedly take up some of that time I leave myself open to any suggestion you all can come up with.

Give me a convincing argument to try anything. A hobby, watch a particular movie, play a particular game, do a particular dance... whatever. It can be something you've always wanted to do but never did or something you do often and enjoy it. I'm just looking for something that will tickle my fancy. I'll read through them all and post results of the ones I decide to try. Pretty much anything (within reason) is fair game, so don't hold back.

" i havent been playin sc2 but i woke up w/ a boner and i really had to pee... and my crisis management and micro was really something to behold. it inspired me to play some games today" -Liquid'Tyler

Make a bottle of bacon infused vodka. Make yourself a bacon martini the next day.

I will safely assume you don't need a justification for this if your user ID is true.

Watch the 1st season of the wire, Play tennis-soccer (don't know what you guys call this),Ask out your crush.

why?

The Wire is the best tv show I have ever watched, soccer is sweet, but tennis soccer is even better, and if there is some girl you have been thinking about, man up and ask her out because you will regret it if you don't

well.. programming is one thing, but it takes some time to get good at that. Plenty of pointers around for this on the internet.

Acrobatic or physical feats could be a rewarding investment. Backflipping, unicycling, walljumping.. perhaps a cartwheel to start with.

You could see about volunteering, look for a project that suits you. Largely dependent on what you can find, if it is something you are willing to work for.

Learn to breakdance. Here's where you can start.



It has English subtitles so you can understand what he's saying. Oh and if you keep at it, this it what you could achieve:

Buy an old camera. Doesn't have to be a fancy Leica or Hasselblad. Something like:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-Canonet-QL17-w-40mm-1-7-Minolta-132x-Flash-/300443030054?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item45f3ccd226
or a Minolta X370, or whatever. Shouldn't cost you more than $30-40. Shoot some film and get them developed and 5x7 prints.

They don't make stuff like they used to, and using old stuff feels great. Everything is solidly built and feels 'right' to use. And your photos will look great too. It's far more interesting and engaging than snapping away with a DSLR, and people are interested in what you're doing when you use old stuff

don't: get a holga
don't: get some auto-everything modern garbage
don't: complain you can do the same thing with a $800 digital camera and not have to pay for film

Go lie down on your couch and watch some Tv, your choice on the channel. That or you can sit at your computer and surf the internet.

Don't wuss out and do something lame like a kpop song and dance. Do something practical:

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the highest possible concentration of alcohol attainable in a Jell-O shot, while still maintaining the structural integrity (i.e., the gelling properties) of the gelatin.

Pick up guitar. For all the awkward moments when someone asks what you do in your spare time and you don't want to say something nerdy.
