What are your obsessions?
Mine happens to reality TV programs. There is something about cameras following the daily lifes of people that fascinate me.
I recently started watching "Lockup" on MSNBC that documents the lives of men and women in prison. It's hard to watch sometimes the harsh realities of prison life and why people act the way they do while incarcerated.
Then you have shows like Deadliest Catch, the Storage wars and offsprings. American Pickers became one of my favs as loved all the background info you got on the items the 2 guys found and bought.
So what are your obessions?

Hmm, that's quite a good question acutally. I've never really thought about it. I do tend to share your fondness for reality TV though. LOVE Deadliest Catch. I've also really enjoyed all the gold mining shows (Yukon Gold, Bering Sea Gold etc...) Shipping Wars I really liked. Ice Pilots is another gooder.
If I had to come up with one of my own but not sure I'd label it as an obsession. I enjoy target shooting with firearms. I really like the presicion of a long distance shot. I enjoy stripping/cleaning and maintaining them. I also really get a lot of fun out of reloading the spent casing as well. Enjoyable hobby through and through although I understand it may not be a popular opinion.
I also really like online gaming. It's an escape from reality sometimes. I guess based on the amount I USED to play, that would have been an obsession but not so much now. Can't seem to find anything I get really excited to play.

I may have to pick your brain with the tweaking part when I build my next machine. The build is easy, the details are in the tweaking!

I really, truly love the process. From the first box opened to the point where I've ran hours of benchmarks (as well as a 24hr Prime95 stability run) and can finally sit back at determine it's done and maxed out.
I will build any PC anyone asks, but I refuse to troubleshoot and become their personal computer tech after that date.

Cars
I spend way too much time researching reading and pricing cars. I had 3 at one time once, if I was a multi-millionaire I'd have a garage like Leno.

I call cycling "my good addiction".
Some weeks I spend almost as much time out on the bike as I do sleeping. It's 40 minutes to and from work, so that's almost 7 hours right there. But once home, I'll just drop off my work stuff and head right back out on the trails. Sometime I'll listen to music, sometimes stand up comedy, sometimes current affairs programs.... but if I have some spare time, you can often find me two wheeling.

Probably books. I have my own library, practically. I think at last count, which was about 6 or 7 years ago, it was around 4500 titles. And those were the ones on the bookshelves. We didn't count the multiple piles on my side table or dresser. It's probably more than that now.

I'm a crossfit whore. I'm at the point that I hit it 4 days a week and still can't get enough.
Luckily I eat enough chips and pizza that it all balances out....

Chocolate, running, chocolate, running, chocolate, running . . . . .
I like signing up for running races in new, preferably out of country places when I'm on a general vacation. Running a 26 km Pass Mountain trail race through the desert in Usury Park, a little north of Mesa, in November. A roughly 900 foot climb in the middle of it. Have no idea how it will go. Small, obscure race. Should be fun and probably survivable.
