What are you currently passionate about it interested in? What are some cool things about that thing, or interesting stuff that you’ve learned?

To start things off, I’ve recently gotten back into Legos for the first time since I was a child and dragged my SO in with me. We’ve been building sets together, posing them, and decorating my apartment with some of them like the autumn center piece and bonsai tree. I’m also starting to show them how you can mix things together or go off script, changing and customizing a set to fit your own needs or tastes. It’s been really fun and I’d recommend it if you are looking for something to do with someone else.

I’ve also gotten into professional wrestling for the first time and been having a blast. My SO used to watch WWE/WWF as a kid and I asked them to watch a pay per view with me and it was like they got ripped back in time, getting super hype and cheering on the people they wanted to win. We’ve now started watching AEW and it’s been really fun when they point out the people that they recognize from when they were a kid and what they think of them.

I’ve taken up cycling 2-3 years ago and it has completely changed my life. I went from an obese (115 kg) couch potato to an active, relatively fit dude (73 kg). I’ve always been on the nerdy side and I’ve never really been interested in sports but let me tell you, there is no sport nerdier than cycling. It’s got graphs and numbers and statistics and shit. You can learn a lot about physics, materials like aluminium, steel, titanium, carbon fibre, aerodynamics, etc. It also keeps you good health. Until you get hit by a truck and fucking die, that is. But let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. :)
