Your Realm...

That’s what you get for sneaking away and not saying goodbye.

PGA hasn’t been around much either.

It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out what’s really been going on!

Something like that.

Mine, especially as I get older, is being in the outdoors. I love to hunt and the challenge of hunting. As of late I have really been into varmint or predator hunting. Using hand held calls to imitate wounded or distressed prey animals to bring the predators in to you. One has to be concealed (camouflaged) quite well and aware of things like wind direction so the animals don’t catch your scent. Your shooting skills have to be nails as well as you can be taking shots from as close to damn near point blank out to 300 or more yards so, time at the range is critical also.

My success rate isn’t to high, but that doesn’t matter it’s being out there and the challenge. If it was easy it wouldn’t be to fun. When I am hunting a day can go by quickly, quicker then I like. I do this with big game hunting as well. I will be trying to call in a big bull elk in the next couple of weeks. I can be totally alone and enjoy this activity immensely or with a few good friends. Whatever the activity is I believe people need something they can lose themselves in to really enjoy this life were in.

Good topic,

Same for me.

My element: outdoors

Can be on the lake, in the surf, in the mountains, or bottomland forest. Either fishing, hiking, bird watching, or observing the wildlife.

I’m the opposite of most- my realm is the “big city.” Chicago is my #1 (there at least two days a week, sometimes more) with New York a close second (only there once a month). I live in a relatively small city by comparison so visiting is a nice diversion from the slow lane.

The beach…or the New Mexico desert with a Margarita made by real New Mexicans at a hole in the wall restaurant called Judy’s! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Rowing

Especially very early in the morning, around 6-7am, water is calm no wind, completely alone its almost silent except for your breath, your heartbeat and a faint burbling sound, as you glide effortless towards the rising sun …heaven :slight_smile:

RRJC and PGA return in the same thread…yeah that’s not obvious or nothing.

I’m looking for a home in a new realm at the moment. Something’s missing…

I thought you meant BB rowing.

And, I don’t do dishes in my realm.

Another rule of the realm is the cook always gets a BJ.

Don’t ever invite me round for dinner.[/quote]

It’s a deal.

In the lab, until I finish my PhD and go back to med school then its the hosp. But I’ll try to make it to the beach more often now that I am moving back closer to school.

On the track racing my motorcycle or just doing a track day, whatever. It’s exhilirating.

why is it that most ppl’s realm is as far as possible from another person?

mind you, mine is also.

id be quite happy to live the net of my days in a remote cabin by a lake, emerging only to mate and buy cigars.

Good point. I guess its because its a change of pace. Because we’re always surrounded by people (and the bullshit that comes along with them) that we need to get away.

I’d imagine after a while of being in your realm, it might change back to ‘reality.’ Maybe not.

And since we’re adding pics…


I think my realm would be any place with a lot of books. Libraries, schools, bookstores…anywhere books are a central fixture. I love everything about them - the look, the smell, and of course, the contents. When I go into a really lovely library or cool independent bookstore I feel as I do in a beautiful church…quiet, reverent, and a little worshipful.

Big chain bookstores are fine by me, too. So well organized, and so clean and bright. And I love visiting people who love books, and getting to skim the titles on their shelves.

This photo makes my knees feel week. Library porn.

In my mind my realm is reality…I miss the beach and ocean waves…
