Hobbies and Activities
I love playing the bass! It's an underrated and misunderstood instrument but it's so expressive and felt deeply. Pictured below is my Ernie Ball Music Man Bongo 6 (My favorite band is Dream Theater). The Bongo 6 is blast to play and the sound is out of this world.
I've gotten into Locksports. I know there's many ways to go about the problem of opening the lock, my preference is a sensory method. It's not the best method but I've opened up quite a bit by just feeling. It's a meditative activity, just feeling out the relationship between the tools and the lock. I've been using a set from Sparrows Lockpicks.
Cooking is my creative release. I love being able to take a few ingredients and make something tasty. One of my favorite things to make is homemade pasta. Pasta takes time and patience to get right.
My other favorite activity is reading. See what I'm reading on my Goodreads.
