Golf.. Can't i have czy ADD, no way i can play that without a PSP in my other hand, and i know u can't driver the ball with one arm too well.

RC racing.. if you mean Radio Control, i did that when i was 14, i had a turbine jet, crashed it, fixed it, crashed it again,, Didn't bother fixing this time cuz it crashed a mile out , and by the time i got there it was already gone 🙁

Home theater.. I got this friend with a 60inch pioneer elite plasma and 2000 watt sound system. Nothing i'm willing to buy compares to that, sooo not gonna even try. Hes Indian,, do all indians have those systems?? just seems like they all got giant plasmas.

Car Mods.. Anything too flashy u'll get pulled over by cops,, anything "FAST AND FURIOUS" and i'll probably kill myself. "Already got my cardboard spoiler 🙂 JKJK

Knitting.. ummm,, once again,, the ADD,, and idk,, kind of a girl thing.. i mean i don't mind learning a craft, but knitting,,
 
What is conroe?

Photography? Models? Biking? Card collecting? Ummm...visiting local yard sales / flea markets and selling on eBay.
 
Photography is my mom's thing, she forced it on me, so u can see that just didn't/won't work.

Models.. OMG ::shudders:: "checks nearest display case" 20 Gundam Master grade models one BUILT Wing Zero Perfect grade, and One in BOX UNOPENED. sss..

Biking.. U know i was thinking about BMX, but i'm like 18,, u think i'm too old for this stuff yet.. idk might break something. not as flexible as when i was a kid.

Card Collecting.. NO simply,, NO.. not after my 6 charzards and 4 FULL sets of US (english) poke-man cards. (1 FULL japanese SET)

No yard sales around EVER

I H8 eBay

Conroe = my shattered EGO / HOPES / DREAMS
 
You think you've built your own computer but you've barely scratched the surface of a DIY project. You selected and tuned the hardware, but now it's time for the software. Try installing linux. Don't just throw on some easy distro like ubuntu, go with gentoo (or if you really want to spend a lot of time on it, linux from scratch).
 
you have a new disease? SARS? ubola? bird flu?

so a conroe is a kind of bird and you got bird flu from this conroe bird?

You are sick because you poured lots and lots of money into building a high end computer system, which for a short time was the fastest thing on the block. Now the inevitable has happened, and your bleeding edge PC is now looking slow and dated. You wonder what the whole point of it was.

Welcome to being a consumer. There will always be something faster or "better" around the corner. The reason I suggested linux is that most people who build their own rigs do so because they like tinkering around, they like customizing, they like seeing how things work. But nowadays, computer hardware has become more about consumption than being a hobby. With linux, you can customize all the software on your computer to the nth degree, and get a good idea of how it all works.

You will get more satisfaction out of your computer if you go about customizing it and modding it, than if you are constantly comparing 3dmark and superPI e-penises with others (who probably have more money than you). It's not always important to have the "latest and greatest."

Do you like working with your hands? Have access to a garage? Invest in some tools and a find a car and restore it. Something I would love to do but I don't have a garage. 🙁

Another one I thought of is buying a nice medal detector. I know someone who picked this up in the spring and he is having a blast. Plus is gets you out of the house.
