My biggest one is reading. When I was a kid I never liked it. Parents made me read 100 pages per week cause they thought it was good for me. I was maybe 10. So I did it, but I couldn't wait to get done. It wasn't until high school that I discovered there was stuff out there that was worth reading for real, like "1984". Not just reading because everyone is saying you should.

I prefer audiobooks, cause they're so universal but since I started reading in Italian it's all deadtree books, and even that hasn't killed it.

learning, up untill the age of 16 education was always such a slog, i really didnt enjoy school (aside from history) When i did my GCSEs i realised that i actually really enjoyed learning about things and debating what id learnt with other people to expand my knowledge. Without knowledge humanity is nothing. Realising how much i enjoyed learning pushed me to take the scholarship exams for my uni and i got one, that change in my mentality i imagine will be one of the most important in my life.

There aren't many late exceptions for me, but two of them are watching football and film. I played a bit of football as a kid, but I was in my mid teens before I saw the point of watching a match. I began to appreciate films in my late teens, when movies like The Shining and Alien fascinated me for their masterful control of tension.

Stop over-reacting like that. How it started you should just ignore those posts because you can only get yourself into trouble it seems.

On topic, I never thought I'd continue with the workouts and I love it now. And I never thought I'd spend so much time on this forum.

What do you think of 'Rear Window' the Hitchcock original (not the shit remake or the fucking shitting waste of space rip off 'Disturbia')?

It was great, really great. My favorite Hitchcock movie is still Vertigo though.

Martin, you're not following Juve matches this season?


Back to topic, cooking. I never imagined nor loved the idea of myself cooking. Now, I do enjoy cooking, preparing some nice dinner specially when I have people over at my place.
