Too many interests?

Can a person have too many interests? I think I might. I have so many different things I like to do, and now that I have more time on my hands, my brain just races with all the things I enjoy. For example, I recently discovered that I can use AI to correct my grammar and composition, making my writing clearer and more effective than I could on my own. I also don’t love typing or proofreading, so I prefer to use voice-to-text and let AI clean it up before I post. This gets my message across, and I’m happy with the results—so, there’s that! (Laugh.)

My interests today include my shortwave radio hobby, listening to all kinds of unusual broadcasts. I also enjoy photography, especially shooting critters and wildlife. I’ve got a biosphere project I’m working on, and since I’m a tarantula keeper, I’m also busy with my arachnid friends. I’m training my German Shepherd, which is going really well. I like playing guitar and making jewelry, plus being artistic in general with all sorts of crafts.

Most recently, I’m really into listening to shortwave radio and finding mysterious or anomalous signals. Oh, and I also produce ambient electronic music, blending a lot of organic sounds like odd radio broadcasts, sound effects, and snippets of people talking in the background of a restaurant—things you’d want to fall asleep to.

And yes, of course, I enjoy eating—does that count as a hobby? Sometimes, I overwhelm myself with all these interests. As far as I know, I don’t have ADHD—I’ve been tested for personality disorders, and the results found no issues; I’m apparently neurotypical. Anyway, I digress.

Blogging is my new thing: writing about what I do and keeping this public journal (which is separate from my private one) may help bring me some balance.

Thanks for reading! I hope you’re having a great day and all that good stuff. I’ll write again soon. Bye!

    Lovely day for plane photography, isn’t it?

    Occasionally, I enjoy plane spotting and photographing flying things. One day, at a popular designated observation point for Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, I was fascinated by this gentleman, who was like me, energetically taking pictures of the planes. Luckily, a couple of US Air Force C-17A Globemasters came in on a beautifully…

    Good morning! It’s 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 28th, 2025. It’s windy and rainy outside and it’s coffee time. I may have touched on this before, but still…let the indefinite pronouns begin!

  • Doctor Office forms, yes! Those!

    We’ve all been there: the clipboard with the attached pen at the doctor’s office, featuring ambiguous forms that we constantly refill. It’s redundant, and we know they already have our information in the system, including our insurance details. They ask for liability purposes and use a broad form to reduce paperwork. I understand that excuse. However,…

    I want to write about my buddy Toshi, but it is very, very difficult and this may take me a while. My Shiba Inu, Toshi was almost fourteen years old when he passed away two days ago. His rear legs decided to stop working sometime during the night; he was also deaf and going blind….

    DATE  May 6, 2026 MOOD  😢   Well, I guess this is my attempt at yet another journal. Anyway, to the point: there’s a reason why I play solo in Warcraft and other games. I have a history with massively multiplayer online games, also known as an MMORPG, and I’ve just had trouble dealing with…
