I really wish I had a true passion for something. Riding bikes, papercraft, floor hockey, stocks… Something that I would be interested in really keeping updated with and be well-knowledged about. But I am finding sadly that I don’t have any hobbies or interests that can really hold my attention. I feel if I do enjoy something, its fleeting; I’ll find something to replace it later.
I can blame my short attention span on the Internet. That place where a world of facts, multimedia, breaking news, tricks, cute puppies, evolving dance men come together and compete for your attention. Where you start by clicking one link and within 5 minutes your browser is full of 10 other interesting topics that have caught your eye. I tried to organize my random clicking by subscribing to certain RSS feeds but my fav, Metafilter, is simply a place where people submit interesting, and unrelated articles and links. My favourite RSS is the one that has no common theme. Just like me.
I can blame this age of technology on my attention span of a gnat. But that’d be a cop out.
Stupid Internet.

Actually you already have a hobby, you blog whats on your mind. There are actually ways to make money from blogging but that is another story. Anything can be a hobby all you have to do is find what you really like to do and stick with it.
