Weekday, working til 6:30pm after that go home and work on my own business. Insert gym after work every 2-3 days. Working 2 jobs sucks.

Not really sure what to do here in LA. Most people I know always do the bar or club scene. I don't like drinking nor really loud music blaring on my head.
Not many people I know like physical activities that much so on winter I normally snowboard alone almost every weekend with some people joining me every now and then.

Thinking of picking up Tennis or Judo but with my weekday time table I won't be able to make it.

Spend your free time thinking how you will get out of the rat race and make some real money and live a real life.

I'm married, but my wife lives 130 miles away until August 1.

5:-- I basically go home, let my dog run around the yard, make something for dinner...
6:00 Watch TV or play the Xbox 360 or do yardwork/housework
9:00 Play computer games online with my cousin...usually BF2 or COD4
10:30-10:42 Talk with the wife while playing video games...
12:00 sleep

Lately, I've been installing new windows in my living room. I've got a huge window with 12 separate panes of glass. I've got 7 of the 12 swapped out....should have 2 more done after tonight.

---------------------
Some ideas....Keep hitting the gym....Perhaps take up some extra hobbies like golf, target shooting (buy a gun), recreational flying, etc... You can always get a membership somewhere that has a pool or swim if you have access to one for free.

Right now I don't really do much after work but play video games or go to my local hobby shop (which is closing end of July :(:( ). I will be going to the gym starting next week to play basketball with my little brother after work. Once that's done with I will prob continue playing games, hanging out with friends, or working on my models.

What's "real money"?

What's a "real life"?

Drink more and find a sport to balance it out. I rarely have a night alone.

Monday: Gym first, then Rays game, beers, or run errands.
Tuesday: Ultimate Frisbee Practice and almost always beers. Free shot at The Bishop for College night.
Wednesday: Coronas at happy hour always. Then either Rays Game, Ultimate Pickup, or gym. Little black dress night 1st Wednesday of every month (TONIGHT!).
Thursday: Happy our at Ceviche if we have a late game. Ultimate Frisbee League. Beers after if its an early game: Ladies night at The Bishop.
Friday: Happy hour, Rays Game or First Friday downtown on the First Friday of the month.

Here was my week until I met my current gf while school is out.

Mon-Fri

get up at 6:45 am
7:30am-4pm work
Get home 4:15-4:30
Then most nights I have found something to do with friends or outside. From walk/runs, bike rides, and other exercise to dinner (with a friend where they pay for their own), movies, just hanging out.

The nights I couldn't find something to do (or didn't want to), I would watch tv (on Hulu usually, and watch entire shows up to their current episode), clean, do chores around the place, etc.

I have also been going through all my stuff getting rid of old crap, so that's a big project of mine.

Now that I have a gf it has been more along these lines

get up at 6:45 am
7:30am-4pm work
Get home 4:15-4:30
do something with her every other day (or daily depending on our schedules), and meet up around 6-630.

During weekdays after work, I run my business, investments and research, sports, see my gf whenever I can, hobbies such as reading/computers/business/investments and business operations.

I do need to go back to the gym <used to go at least two to three times per week>.

I rarely sleep more than 5 or 6 hours a day, wish there are more hours per day.

Right now, I am in the process of moving my stuffs in a storage area with lock..oh joy joy....and then get a apartment and probably a new house <brand new house> soon.

OP, you need to see what do you like to do and enjoy the most and then just do it.
