Have you dedicated your life to anything?

[Bushmaster]

Reading the birds of prey thread it struck me that some people have apparently 'dedicated their lives' to this pursuit. Seems a pretty heavy investment in a hobby to me, but each to their own, hey?

Some people - olympic athletes, say or some politicians, rebel fighters, or Mother Theresa types do seem to have 'dedicated their lives' to something, be it a goal or a cause or whatever.

I don't think I have, really.

What about you?

I think there are three basic types of people. The ones you describe - the life dedicators - and then there are the experiencers who try lots of different things throughout there life and have garage full of no longer used equipment, and the couch potatoes.

I'm an experiencer.

Hmm, I spent a long time in search of self gratification. Now that I'm a parent, pretty much everything is for other people. Anything I do these days has to have some element of trying to advance the family, but at the same time trying to have an element of fun.

If I had to describe my life today, I'd say its dedicated to my family.

Sorry I may be a typical woman but I dedicated my life to my family! I make sure they have everything they need and want and make sure they are happy!

Since 2001 I've been scouring the world for the perfect Burger and Milkshake.

I have dedicated my life to doing as little as possible.

Music?

I've been playing an instrument since the age of 5, settled on the Saxophone at age 11, went to music college from 18-21, and now teach music full time, rehearse 2 or 3 nights a week and gig most weekends, plus the occasional recording session thrown in for good measure.... Plus, the obvious practicing, which should be most days, but inevitably isn't...

Does that count?

Perfecting the art of masturbation.

Oh yeah, and a bit of journalism on the side.

That's a filthy habit, give it up.


You'll have more time for the masturbation.

My life was dedicated to getting high and drinking larger with my mates.

Now i'm dedicated to making money(buying a new car and studio eqiptment), sleeping with as many women as i can and improving my dj and production skills the the point of getting a tune released/playing in clubs.

What's the point in dedicating your life to your family?

If everyone did that, we'd still be living in caves, having lots of group hugs.

Sounds like a clone of Johnny Rockets in the States.

Which currently hold the Milkshake title.
