Name your 5 top passions in life
 

Must list 5. Not 3, not 10. Five. Let's leave out the obvious choices of family and health. Those are givens. This could be interesting. I'll go first. Not necessarily in this order.

1. Travel
2. Motorcycle collecting
3. Racing
4. Being outside in the sun
5. Cultural enrichment

Not in any order.

Listening to music while singing along and alone in my car.
Listening to audio books on a long drive alone.
Riding my bicycle on a cool day.
Food.
Even though I haven't driven it in a few years, I'm passionate about my targa.

Not in order:

1. High performance automobiles
2. Rock and roll
3. Sex with love
4. Guns
5. Red wine

My furkids....and animals in general
Music
Ornamental Horticulture
Surfing
Coastal lifestyle

Well, if people don't list sex in their TOP 5, this thread is useless.

So, with the idea that there is no particular order:

Making things.
Talking about making things.
Getting tools to make things.
Meeting people or at least being out and mobile.
Sex.

Add repairing things to the first 3.

not in order. not gonna say my wife or family. too easy!

1. hunting, bowhunting in particular
2. mountain biking well
3. traveling. internationally.
4. cooking
5. mechanical things. cars and motorcycles.

1.....dodge
2.....duck
3....dip
4.....dive
5.........dodge

Wine (drinking, making, learning)
Food (trying, making)
Travel/Experiences
Dog
Cars/Planes - mechanical things

1. My wife and son and the joy that they bring me.
2. Projects! Starting them and finishing them well.
3. Mountain biking. Nothing like a two hour climb and a 20 minute downhill!
4. Sea kayaking. Even if it is just paddling in a lake or a reservoir. The whole world looks different from the water!
5. Teaching. I have been in a "new" position for the past 4 years and I found that teaching is like a drug that you need to have another hit of. It is an amazing thing when you have thrown out a concept and you see that they get it! Very cool....

1. sex
2. sandwiches

Wasn't it sex or a sandwich?

A) my kiddos
B) my love
C) my writing
D) my relationships
E) my God

Pretty much in order..

1. Boats and anything involving them. Maritime stuff in general
2. The ocean/beach.
3. Firefighting
4. Cars, motorcycles.Vehicles. Very big into trains
5. Building things, models.

Cycling moving up fast.

1) My work - helping improve the quality of life of people suffering heart disease and other illnesses. (yes, I am more than a bit of a workaholic)

2) My wife & kids (or Eating & Drinking, if "family" is to be excluded due to obviousness).

3) Making & fixing things. Almost anything, from wristwatches to home appliances.

4) Cars - maintenance, repair, and upgrades. And just fiddling with them.

5) Sports - Football, basketball and auto racing (Grand Am/ALM & NASCAR) especially.

Hey this is a good thread. Got me thinking, dam "Top five" well no order here just when I think five so many more came to mine.

running/jogging,exercise
good food,wine
building creating things,woodwork,mechanical repairing stuff
high performance cars
knowledge/wisdom

Interesting question, but you know....I read everyone's responses over and I guess I do not feel passionate about any particular thing. The test I was using is whether I would be despondent/down/depressed if it were taken away from me and I guess there is nothing that I could not (or do not already) do without. If something were unavailable to me, I would just move on to something else!

Now, to be fair, I am quite envious of you guys who have strong feelings about one thing or another, but I guess I do not really look at the world that way.

Anyone else take the same view or am I nuts?
