This one I’m pretty sure all of you can relate to.  It consists of: Biking, Surfing, Hiking, and just being outdoors in general.  I really enjoy being outside and being in the fresh air.  If you haven’t met me you wouldn’t  know, but I can’t sit still, and must be constantly doing something.  And that makes for an unhappy Bally when I’m stuck indoors.  I feel like all of these things help you get away from your daily life and the stress that it brings.  When I’m outdoors biking, hiking and surfing I feel like I’m in my own little Bally world haha.  I mean what’s better than packing a lunch, grabbing the old hiking boots and going up to the dirt hills with some friends and loved ones and taking a day-long hike? Hey that has a nice ring to it, that could be an opening line to a movie. Fresh air is the only kind of air that we all should be breathing.  Now when I walk out side of my house and turn down the street I see the Pacific Ocean and it makes for a great bike ride with many great photo opportunities.  But the only thing standing in my way of the beautiful ocean is only about 4 huge hills which is so much fun on the way down but on the way back OH BOY is it a workout and a half.  Sometimes it makes me want to ride away from the ocean.

Now you might say, “Bally, your previous two hobbies have been inside” and your right, but my idea of a perfect day is when the weather is just right I would go hiking with my Ps3 to the top of that mountain and just play video games breathing the freshest air while grooming my ’stache and doing my final 2 hobbies that have yet to be revealed. Now yes that was a dream that has yet to come true but hey can’t we all dream?

Now, I want to know a little about all your hobbies, fill me in people don’t be scared to comment!

    I would have to say out of all of my hobbies that taking and teaching a Spinning class is #1 on my list! You should take a class with me sometime, Bally! LOL! My other hobbies would be playing golf, playing the trumpet and going on cruises. I hope to see you at ST.

    Hiking, mountain biking, fishing and the last five years spending Sunday afternoons at the ballpark watching the Nats!

    I really hope 1 of your last two hobbies isnt night football. Night football is a terrible idea that only retarded 12 year olds come up with. I still get asked about the scar on my lip. Thanks for that.

    The Nationals are one of my hobbies (I’m a season ticket holder)! My bad knees and bad back prevent me from participating in sports as a hobby, so my current hobbies include jewelry making and collecting post cards. I know…they’re boring…but at least they don’t hurt my knees or back.

    Skulking around the internet to find every scrap of Nats info I can. That and my hip hop class. =)
