Most of us here are hard working folk now. We get up. Wake up. Go to work. Pretend to do some work. Go home. Get something to eat. Go to bed. Rinse. Repeat.
We spend 8 hours sleeping (if we're lucky), 8 hours working and on average an hour and a half in transit to and from. Life is fucking boring most day. Without any effort, we've already whittled down over 17 hours of a 24 hour limit on each day and that's without adding on time to wake up, get ready for work and eating. If we're very lucky, we might get a full 4 hours in each day to do our own thing if family and other halves haven't done their utmost to claw away those hours. A little something to help us numb the pain of the tedium of day to day life. So apart from gaming, what is it that you do to fill your time and keep yourself sane? Does it do anything for you or is it something to simply fill in the gaps between getting home and going to bed?
Personally, I draw a fair bit these days. It's something that gives me a little peace of mind as I empty its contents. Something that gives me a slight illusion of control over something in my life and whenever I look back, I can see a definitive state of progression. I do occasionally waste away hours with music and movies, but they feel like little more than space filling void of background noise to drown out into. No matter the quality of the medium, by the end it always feels like a depreciation of my time leaving nothing of the completionism that drawing provides.
So, what about you lot?
