Hobby

A hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure time. Hobbies can include collecting themed items and objects, engaging in creative and artistic pursuits, playing sports, or pursuing other amusements. A list of hobbies is lengthy and always changing as interests and fashions change. By continually participating in a particular hobby, one can acquire substantial skill and knowledge in that area. Engagement in hobbies has increased since the late nineteenth century as workers have more leisure time and advancing production and technology have provided more support for leisure activities. As some hobbies have become less popular, like stamp collecting, others have been created following technological advances, like video games.

Etymology

In the 16th century, the term "hobyn" had the meaning of "small horse or pony". The term "hobby horse" was documented in a 1557 payment confirmation for a "Hobbyhorse" from Reading, England. The item, originally called a "Tourney Horse", was made of a wooden or basketwork frame with an artificial tail and head. It was designed for a child to mimic riding a real horse. By 1816 the derivative, "hobby", was introduced into the vocabulary of a number of English people. Over the course of subsequent centuries, the term came to be associated with recreation and leisure. In the 17th century, the term was used in a pejorative sense by suggesting that a hobby was a childish pursuit, however in the 18th century with a more industrial society and more leisure time, hobbies took on greater respectability A hobby is also called a pastime, derived from the use of hobbies to pass the time. A hobby became an activity that is practised regularly and usually with some worthwhile purpose. Hobbies are usually, but not always, practised primarily for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward.

Stupid People

by: Hope 7

Don't cry baby
It's no big deal
It's not like it really matters
How I feel
I knew that you would break my heart
I knew it right from the start
But I wouldn't listen to a thing
CHORUS
How could I have been a fool
To put my trust in you
And how did I get here
Drowning in your tears
When you were nowhere near
I can't get mad at you
Over what you put me through
It's what stupid people do
Don't say maybe
'Cause that won't do
Here to take on tomorrow
It's nothing new
I heard you went around the block
Making all your frequent stops
But I wouldn't listen to a thing
CHORUS
It's what stupid do
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Stupid people do
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Yeah Yeah Yeah
I don't need your sympathy
So get used to never seeing me ...dork
Don't' cry baby, it's no big deal
CHORUS
Stupid people do
I don't need your sympathy
