Prone to Wander

Males Dominated 'Out-of-Africa' Migration - Discovery.com

I have always wanted to move, no matter where I was. I didn't like it anywhere, and I still don't. Today I read that it might just be that I'm a man, and men want to go. Maybe I'm not alone.

There's a lot I want to do in this life that I have not done. I'm rather upset that I haven't gotten around to doing it, and the frustration sometimes consumes me. And then I'm lost again - I give up and want to sell all my books and throw everything away. Streamline life and live simply. Pick just a couple of things that I say that I do, and forget everything else.

But I can't. Every time I think about shedding my interests I find it impossible to do so. I am the guy with too many hobbies. Can we count?

1. Education - I love to learn. This is the catalyst of my affliction.
2. Family. It's growing.
   
3. Home brewing. I love beer.
4. Computers. My living. Could be broken down into many smaller categories.
   
5. Motorcycling.
6. Business.
7. Pleasure reading.
8. Periodicals (deserves its own listing).
9. Movies.
10. Gardening.
11. Model airplanes.
12. Flying (one of those things I haven't gotten 'round to).
13. Music. This is big.
14. Writing.
15. Traveling.
16. Language.
17. War.

That last one is something new. I have recently become interested in joining the military once more as an officer, and if one were to choose the Army as a career, an officer in the Army would need to know about strategies and history related to war. Also about weapons and how to use them. So I want to study war.

But I won't get around to all of this and it is very frustrating. I have so many interests and I am forced to choose. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do?
