Is it a relapse? I seriously hate my life...

I 100% agree with you here. Politics can be good food for thought and occasionally fun to joke about, but these days it just seems like a method for dividing people and making people hate each other and also ruins Thanksgiving meals with family. I honestly do not consider myself do be "Left-Wing" or "Right-Wing" and I really don't care if you @Meshuga or anyone else on here considers themselves to be Left or Right. I just perfer to think about ideas and issues indivdually rather than just choose a hardline stance that tells me what the issue is and what to think about it. I also believe that what people believe should be somewhat consistent with the ways they live too.

 

Most of those hobbies require significant money, at least if done "right." Firearms... the reality is far different from the fantasy. If you get a responsible instructor to drill proper discipline, safety is not as much of a problem as most people think. Only point a weapon, whether you think it's loaded or not, at things you're willing to put a hole in. Always assume it's loaded, even when you've just cleared it. Sport shooting and hunting are way more fun than you'd think, even with the strict discipline involved, but also very expensive.

There are online D&D communities, so location isn't even that much of a problem, and odds are strong there's a group or more in your area that meets live. Just look for your local gaming store, and if the group isn't advertised there, the clerks will know who to get you in contact with. Perhaps at that same store, you can learn more about table top gaming. You can get into the "hobby" side, collecting and painting the figures, or you can get into the gaming side, meeting up on weekends to play the game with mostly unpainted armies. It seems the entire package is enough of a time sink, most people do one or the other. And there are other games besides Warhammer 40K. It's enough of an investment, both in money and time, I'd recommend some thought before you leap into it.

CrossFit is a popular fitness thing here in the U.S., almost cult-like, according to some. It's intense, community oriented workouts focusing on whole body health and athleticism, so not body building, but performance driven. They do a lot of pull ups and hitting tires with hammers and such.

 

I think gun saftey is easy to learn about since most of it is common sense. I also have a few replicas of guns but not the real thing. I have a blue gun that came in the mail today. But I am not entirely sure if I would trust myself with the real deal... Yet.

 

I think I will stick with regular gym time for now at least. I don't think I am at the point where I can carry my own weight yet.
