I have been thinking a lot lately about what I used to enjoy when I was a whole lot younger. And why is it that as we get older we put aside the things that we enjoy just because some people think certain hobbies/activities have age limits? So I am going to take a minute to list just a couple of things I liked to do as a kid that I am starting to enjoy again:
1) Comic Books: Some of my favorite comics growing up were Superman, Batman, and The Flash. Now I don’t have time to collect all the individual comics, so I have moved to buying graphic novels. For those who do not know what graphic novels are, they are a collection of a comic story arcs combined into one or more volumes.
2) Role-Playing games: Don’t let your mind go there, I am talking about games like Dungeons & Dragons. Growing up my friends and I would play about anything; D&D, Star Wars, Gamma World, Shadowrun, and Star Frontiers were some of our main staples. Role-Playing games are a great way to exercise ones imagination and creativity. To this day I still remember some of the dungeon delves we went on; thanks Kit for being a great DM. I just recently purchased the Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Role-Playing Game Starter Set (The Red Box), partly out of nostalgia, but mostly out of a desire to start playing again.
