EPTI'll preface by just telling a little bit about me. Please don't think of this as a "brag post", because it's really anything but. I'll put it simply.....I do a lot of stuff. But I just want to put what I do out there, because I know the inevitable, "find a hobby/etc" advice I'll probably get otherwise. Let see...
Random "brag blog" in spoilers. Ignore unless bored. TLDR: I do a bunch of different varied crap.

I'm 26 years old, living in FL. 6'3", 160 lbs(skinny, I know). Reasonably good-looking, or so I've been told, I don't really see it, but enough random people have told me that I don't feel insecure in my looks or anything. I've been told I dress pretty well at times, although that is still a work in progress for the most part, I used to be pretty horrific at it through my high school years.
I play piano at a reasonably high level for never really taking any lessons. I can play mid-level classical stuff like most Chopin, some Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. I play at a local nursing home every Sunday afternoon. A church does a little service there, and I play a bunch of random stuff for the old people there, nothing amazing, but they really love it, and I love doing it too. I also play the cello decently well, and am still taking lessons for it. I play it in a little amatuer church orchestra, and we do church/Christmas/holiday stuff. Currently working on some cool Christmas songs, and I have a duet I'll be doing for Christmas as well. As seen in another blog of mine, I just got a fairly nice house, and have been working on that for the last few weeks, trying to make it look nice. I can do tile/drywall/electrical/paint/etc at a very decent level, abiet a little slow. Basically I can do anything I want with a house and never have to hire anyone. I have a very decent job, I am a licensed journeyman electrician with a 4 year trade degree, with a good maintenance/ troubleshooting gig at a really big company. My bosses are really easy to work for, and I have some really good opportunities for promotion in the future. I've been saving all of my life, since high school, and have a pretty nice little nest egg invested in some good slow-but-sure companies and mutual funds. Probably not making millions off of it, but I should be able to retire comfortably just off of that, not even counting what I will have through the company I work for. I just started running semi-competitively, and before tweaking my knee, was on pace for getting a 20 minute 5k in a couple of months...not amazing, but for someone who just started running about 9 months ago, it's not terrible. I was in pretty good shape before though. I play basketball, football, soccer, and tennis at a decent amatuer level...again, nothing really amazing, but I can consistently beat most of my friends in them. I play quite a few random video games for fun at night, an hour or two at most though. I try to be competitive in them, and used to actually play competitively, but mostly now I play for fun and for the lulz. I used to be able to draw and do woodworking stuff pretty well too, but haven't really had time as of late, probably going to wait until I retire or something, lol. I'm probably forgetting some stuff too, I really do a lot of different crap.
Ok, now what am I complaining about, you might ask? I got life together....right? Well, basically F all that. I just don't really give a crap about anything any more. I do stuff because I know I need to, and basically have to force myself to do that. I thought getting a house would motivate me, and it did a little but the only reason I'm really working as hard at it as I am, is my brother needs to move in with me for a year or so, and so I'm really doing it for him. I practice music because I don't want to screw up, not because it's fun any more. I try to play video games, but they just don't do it for me, especially now that I don't have much time to play. No fun losing to someone with literally 10 times more time logged into the game as you. Sometimes I get caught up into a game for a while, BF3 had me for a week or so, but already it's just meh. It's still fun to play, but I don't see it lasting me for longer than a month. I could go to college for an actual degree, but I'm making good money now, and really don't know of anything short of a masters degree in something that would actually reliably get me more money anyways, and at age 26, going to college for 6+ years isn't exactly a wise career move, nor do I think I would enjoy it. And money isn't a big deal to me anyways...I have plenty to live comfortably as is, and that's good enough for me. Any more, all I want to do is just sit on my computer chair staring at my monitors, mindlessly piddling on the internet. Nothing on TV interests me, sports are overrated. I try to get into them, but they are just so trivial really...GO MY FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM GO!!! YOURS SUCKS BECAUSE IT'S NOT MINE!!!! GO GO!! Meh.
Maybe it's a social thing? I have no significant other, and never really have, nor have I ever really had a close friend, but up until now, it hadn't really bothered me.....and even now, i don't know if that's the problem, or if I'm just pinning my hopes onto something else, thinking it'll wake me up. There's a girl I like, but she lives ~200 miles away, and we occasionally text or meet up, but it's nothing serious to her I'm pretty sure, and I don't even know how to take the next step anyways. Noone I know that lives close to me I would even remotely consider dating. Not that i'm picky, I just don't know many single females that aren't slobs. All the decent ones are engaged/married/etc.
TLDR: Wtf is up with my life? I just don't give a crap.
/sorry for depressing you
