Far too well dressed to be a hobo! ;)

He was wearing his Sunday clothes.  :)

Even a hobo is entitled to be stylish.

As in Red Skelton's character Freddie the Freeloader



Since age 7 I have been writing stories: most recently I finished a 2-volume tragicomic epic following the lives of 9 characters born after World War II in a lower-middle-class Catholic neighborhood.

Wow! That's definitely something I would be interested in reading.

Heh heh!  Be careful!  Are you sure you want to embark on such a path?!   :D

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention I pose as an actor in a theater company.

Well, on the theory that the basic component of acting is posing,  you are an actor.  Or at least an actor acting the part of an actor.

     Pay rent, buy food, eat it, go on ebay to find a 12" speaker suitable for guitar and bass, look for a speaker cabinet suitable for the speaker, do laundry, read a book, download season 3 of The Wire, look for stocks to buy, plan a vacation.....

Too much...

composing,
guitar,
learning other instruments, which I don't get to do because I don't have time for them,
learning Japanese while neglecting to learn the dozen languages that I don't have time for,
video games,
anime,
learning how to draw (which I'll try to start next year)...


With 50+ hours a week with work and school, I'm basically dividing up my hobbies to focus on one thing at a time.
I'll probably be playing Final Fantasy 11 for a couple more months to get what I want out of it (even though it's essentially a game with no end).
Then, I'll be studying additional computer programming stuff for a few months.
Then, I'll go back to studying Japanese while simultaneously learning how to draw.

That's the current plan.
