    Default What to do in a boring lockdown world

    Hi everyone I'm posting this thread cause we all need help with this. Instead of just trying to get my superpowers from out of my dreams I bought an Alexa speaker and I just ask it "Alexa play video game music or "Alexa play 90s hip hop radio" or Alexa shuffle Eminem songs

    It keeps the stress levels low

    Also I was thinking to start playing online Xbox and playstation games, u really need that interaction with other humans

    Of course I'm going straight to the comic book store or online store. Any ideas fori lockdown guys/girls

    For me I read comics, I also got a Switch a Year ago so I have been playing video games and some retro games thanks to older systems.

    I also get my fresh air walking around my yard and around the the house.

    When was the last time people wrote actual letters to friends or family?
    (No, not an email!)


    Just think how much joy you can bring to somebody else by writing them a personal letter that they get delivered to their mailbox by an actual, honest-to-your-preferred-diety postal carrier?

    There are many free or low cost online classes. If you ever have wanted to learn how to do something, and you find yourself with a lot fo free time and no where to go, consider signing up to learn a new skill or even get a course completion certificate.

    I've started writing a brief diary and taking my hand at some poetry. Also, wildlife photography and some limited hiking, where I can do it. Also I'm involved in two online D&D games, which breaks up some of the monotony.

    Football season is starting today, so that will keep me somewhat occupied too.

    I just started school back up after 20 years away. I am trying to get my nursing degree (I have been a emergency room tech for 20 years). I am scared to death but I am going to do this.

    I love reading my comics but sometimes need a bit of a change is reading material.

    Like someone said above NFL Football is starting tonight so I am very excited for that. Baseball playoffs are coming. The NBA (The Celtics will be awful this year no doubt) and the NHL is on the way as well.

    I love spending time with my two kids as well.

    I think I might write a sequel to my book, it's a good book Revenge Of the Gangster by Anthony Samaras, it features a post from the marvel.com site when it used to have a forum we were arguing hard how the universe is really supernatural and how the atom really works, my story is part non fiction how my dreams merged into real life and then a second part fiction of what I would do if the power did kick in. Yeah I was thinking of making a sequel with all this time I have. Also I Wana draw comics myself I have a unique drawing style, I posted in my other thread a couple pics of magneto and wolverine. I was gonna start a character called Kabam from the character in my book. I remember a movie producer wanted to make a movie out of my book at one stage but he offered a small amount of money.

    That Alexa speaker is really fun I like choosing songs and net radio stations it's great.

    I might write some websites and/or learn to write them better, get more complicated. Perhaps start an online business like my sister who runs lithos-melbourne she sells crystals and stuff. It's really cool I even spent a few hundred to help her.

    I agree that taking online classes is a good way to spend your free time. How much stuff that you learned in college have you forgotten by now? Go online and re-learn it, to get your original tuition's worth!

    Best plan ever.

    Next year I will be 40 and also go back to school (I hope) depending on the test I wrote yesterday. Best of luck. I know it will be scary for me too.

    Better to just reread A Song Of Ice And Fire and A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms
