    Someone did actually, i think you just missed it. If you do decide to however I recommend starting with the piano, makes learning stuff like the violin or any other more difficult instrument much easier.

    For learning to play the piano, I will need to buy a computer to stream lessons and stuff. Not sure I can afford all that.

    I've always wanted to build an r/c car. Which is weird, because I've never really been into them except very briefly when I was a kid. Anyone ever done this?

    hmm
    My most recent hobby is knitting.. but youre probably not a girl so.. how about volunteering somewhere? Having something to do that takes you outside of yourself is very helpful and makes you a better/grateful/happier person. Learning something new is also fun, you could take a local class... some arent too expensive. Google Leasure Learning Houston. I also agree with the learning how to cook (bake) something new idea. That will help you your entire life and itll also help you get dates :)

    Can't believe I'm on the second page and no one has mentioned getting into weed or psychedelics. Some of man's greatest inventions and discoveries have come about due to being on LSD.

    Any reason you're going "off the grid?" It sounds like this is a conscious lifestyle change, like something out of Brave New World. Maybe try your hand at something artistic. Instruments and building stuff require larger investments, but there's always coupons for hobby lobby/michaels. And knitting is real boring if you're not able to split your attention elsewhere.

    Find a meetup on meetup.com. You'll meet new people, get of the house, and it's free.

    Isolate yourself from other people, play violent video games and masturbate a lot.
