I have not yet fallen asleep during sex, but I can sense that day might just be on the distant horizon. I get interested in things very easily, and then acquire a lot of stuff related to them, then something else shiny catches my attention.  So I&#8217;ve never gotten too seriously knowledgeable about single subjects, but I sure have had a good deal of fun getting to know a little about damned near everything. <\/p>\n<p>Photography is a classic example. I love cameras and gear, and now that they;re so dirt cheap, I collect. My one desire is to have one of every model of the Argus C cameras, beginning with the C2, and all 11 of the C3&#8217;s.  I figure I ought to be able to do this for, say, $200.<br \/>\nI also got heavily into reloading. Now, the only thing I am even remotely interested in loading is the 500 nitro and the 45-70, just because of the cost of new. And I will still use new when hunting.<br \/>\nI also got into darkroom work. Model R\/C cars. Model railroading. Glassblowing. Pottery. Brickmaking. Gardening. Leatherwork. Astronomy. Trainspotting. Old cars, old trucks, old motorcycles, old guns, old farm equipment, yadda yadda yadda. I literally have so many interests that I am surprised I can ever get anything done.<\/p>\n<p>well, actually, I kind of don&#8217;t, outside work. So I am trying to focus my geekery on a few things and not spread msyelf so thin, but even that has become it&#8217;s own kind of geekery. At the end of the day, I can safely say I am qualified to say almost nothing about absolutely everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I may have the worlds shortest attention span.
