The Old Television Studio, Chapter One
It was a curious quality of the boy next door that Jenny could never picture his face. He looked like one or two different people she knew, between whom she guessed there must already have been a resemblance. Sometimes she was certain she saw brown hair, and eyes that stared too much. At other times however every detail would vanish behind a shrouding mask of twilight, except the eyes. That shadow was before Jenny now as she made her final checks in the hallway.

There can be a multitude of things that bring people joy and it is not going to be the same for each person since we are all different even if we live in the same house.

Is One Hobby Better Then The Other
When we think about lives and the things that we do in them for relaxation do we think one thing is better than something else? Or do we think that it is all the same thing? Can one hobby be as good as something else or is one hobby usually better than the other? Have you ever thought about that when you do the hobbies that you enjoy? Most people are probably saying yes and that is why we do one hobby over the other because either it's more fun, it's easier or it's just routine and that is what we like to do the most. With any hobby being something that we really enjoy, how many of them are we doing at the same time or are we doing more than one at the same time? If we have time for more than one hobby at a time we are probably doing multiple at a time. Yet is that too time consuming, too brain taxing or do you find that fun? Have you ever done more than one hobby at once and if so how did that make you feel? I have done more than one hobby at a time. I sometimes read or write and watch television so that is doing two of my hobbies at once. Now I know some people might not like that, but to other people doing two hobbies at the same time helps them relax and calm their nerves.

My Hobbies Are What For Living The Way That I Do
I live a life of reading and writing, which in turn means my hobbies are as follows: I love to write and read. When I was younger I was told at the age of six by a substitute teacher that I couldn’t read. My question is which six year old kid can actually read properly without having to sound out words? Not very many of them unless they were really taught by their parents before school. Now I am not saying that kids aren’t but I started school at the age of four, and learning things like reading happened at school. So it was hard but sounding out words at the age of six is how you learn how to read and I was doing just that, and the substitute teacher said I couldn’t read. However, a cousin who was in my class at the time, took me into the corner after she told the teacher that I could read and read the book with me. So ever since then I read all the time, I have a huge bookshelf with overflowing books. I read for at least twenty minutes or more a day, just to wind down. I have read my entire bookshelf at least twice and I have just added four more books to it that I am waiting to read because I am really into my iphone books right now.

Hobbies And Life Are Fun Aren't They
Fun is meant to be a part of life, isn’t it? Yes it is and what is the best way to have fun in life? So yes fun is meant to be a part of life, and the best way to have fun in life is to do it through your lifestyle and the hobbies that you do. If your hobbies aren’t fun for you then why are you doing them, that is the question that I always ask myself. When I ask myself this question I come up with a list, and this list includes getting outside when there is sun or the weather is nice, watching your favourite show, or reading your favourite book. Making friendship bracelets if you find that fun. Just to name a few. When you live life and make it fun you do so by doing the things that you enjoy to do, what I listed above for example. Or watch your favourite movie or television show. Remember life isn’t all about work so when you put hobbies into your life that is where the fun comes in because if you are having fun with something you are usually doing a hobby and not thinking about work.

Mobility Madness
The first time I heard degenrative disc disease I had no clue what it would entail. Medically it is a weakness in the cushion between the vertibrae of your spine,that causes them to slip to one side and become trapped,making them bulge,this then causes the signals to your brain to become intensensified and for your mobility to become limited due to pain. Personally though it was a complete change, I worked as a chef and did sixty plus hour weeks,trained to be a restaurant manager too and loved what I did, in the space of 48 hours that all changed,a twist in an awkward position unloading stock and the next thing I knew I was in hospital unable to move my legs without feeling excruciating pain.
