Everything but shitpost.

>>8069663
Sounds boring desu. What do you even do as a NEET? Read books all day and jerk off? Nice life you got there, bud.
>>8069665

>>8069665
read for 8+ hours a day in fact.
how many hours did you read today normie?
>>8069675
Like an hour. Spent way too much time talking to my cousin and fantasizing about fucking her.
>>8069675

>>8069696
what literature do you like?
I just bought a DJ controller, I like psy trance and it's easy to mix since it's electronic music. I hope I have the motivation to improve and maybe do something, I don't know what but something
exist
>>8069684
Damn you
I study a History degree in a shitty college, I masturbate, I shitpost, I do a bodyweight routine, I hang out/attend to concerts with some peeps and I play the guitar in a noisy, kinda experimental band
>>8069719
I love you anon. Take care.
>>8069725
its hard for me to believe you
have an image as thanks though since /lit/ seems to like its art
>>8069735
mistakes
so many mistakes
sometimes mistakes are for the better
my main interest is cinema but I hang out here because /tv/ is fucking abysmal
I listen to music, usually one album a day, exercise three times a week, go for walks in the forest or in my town, drink coffee, learn languages, watch films from time to time and cycle. Since it's getting closer and closer to summer, maybe I'll travel a bit.
>>8069642
I paint Futurist responses to Pound's Cantos. Most of them involve my semen.
I have a 9-5 office jorb, read (comics/lit), watch TV (1 hour drama) while stationary biking, do housecleaning bc gf works from home but is lazy as hell, bake bread from scratch. Wish I could socialize more but I have anxiety, and my coworkers are well read so I can talk to them at least. I also write novels when I can get it together enough and
never show them to anyone.
>>8069958
Glorious.
>>8069673
Is that from Look Who's Back?
Listen to music (currently getting into classical), draw my short cartoon, play strategy vidya, watch movies, very rarely go to theater and art galleries.
Daydream about being a painter, a writer, a songwriter, a producer etc while not doing anything about it.

>>8069642

>>8069988
I've just started poking into the basics (Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bach, Musorgskij, Cage), learning how to listen to it... Mahler isn't exactly a priority at the moment.

What's the History degree like?
>>8070002
Don't worry, I'll listen to him eventually.
Btw, Vivaldi actually should be a priority for classical newfags. His music is unbelievably fun and accessible, and completely destroys the image of classical music as some boring old crap. I mean, https://youtu.be/124NoPUBDvA for fuck's sake
>>8070023
Nah, it's mostly pretty chill. Moderate amount of challenge and stimulation so I don't go vegetative, but still generally enough time to do the things I want to do and have enough relaxation.
I do occasionally miss my student days when I had time to mope around all day feeling miserable and indulging my delusions of grandeur, but on the whole I'm really happier with my lot now.
>>8070038
Is there some kind of "beginner's classical music" infograph? Not that guy.
>>8070038
I mean yeah I don't want to trash Vivaldi too hard and be all elitist about it. Just, for my money, if you want something accessible, dramatic and entertaining then someone like Ravel or Prokofiev is more where it's at.

Kek. What else, you're not gonna listen to Schubert untill you've read all of Goethe's work?
>>8070035
meh, I'm about to finish the first year and only few of the subjects were actually about history. Also there's some clearly biased shit. Can't complain tho, it's a cheap and mediocre college in a shithole of a country (Spain) and I didn't even have to study during this year. Hope the next courses focus more on strictly historical stuff tho.
>>8070065
>and only few of the subjects were actually about history. Also there's some clearly biased shit
Can you elaborate?
>>8070045
The one's that i found weren't for beginners.
Try a few different composers and look for something you like, while reading in short about the different streams so you have at least clue what's what (you don't need to know the entire theory).
I'd say try pieces at random. Then look at what you like and see for yourself if you like symphonies, concerto's, fugues or just fragments (like finales)
Once you find a composor or piece you like, try reading about him and listen to his contemporaries.
I'd say try some stuff from at least Beethoven, Mozart (Try the requiem), Bach (like his fugues or the goldberg variatons) and Mahler (try the finale to his symphony n° 8). You can give Liszt, Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninov, Pachelbel, Tchaikovsky and Brahms random listens to get a little familiar with the basic's and work your way through the rest of the basic's from there (should be a fun time exploring).
Also: do yourself a favour and try more modern composers like Samuel Barber, John Cage and Gorecki. You might feel more familiar with them and like their work better.
And finally, try some neoclassical on. It's like Classical-light in terms of likeablity. Try Max Richter, Peter Broderick, Nils Frahm, Colin Stetson..
Sorry for the shitty spelling, i'm on my phone.
>>8070046
Well as I said I'm new to classical. I'll first listen to well-known composers / composers my music prof talked about a lot.
>>8070045
There should be (a) chart(s) on /mu/ wiki. The pieces that made me personally interested in the music were Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Beethoven's 14th piano sonata, 3rd and 7th symphony, Orff's "Carmina Burana" and Moussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" suite (orchestral version by Ravel). These are all extremely accessible. But don't let yourself be constrained by recommendations and charts. Explore it by yourself.
>>8070050
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with me.
>>8070068
On the first semester I studied Modern History, Prehistory, History of Music Styles, Artistic Styles and Geography. On the second one, I studied Contemporary History, ¿Landscape analysis? (dunno if landscape means the same as paisaje in this context), Artistic Techniques (how is oleum paint made and stuff like that), Latin (which I studied for the first time and happened to be pretty cool), and Sociology.
>biased shit
This became more noticeable on the 2nd semester. Contemporary History was all about "social movements" like feminism, black movement, trade unions and all of that. Although, even if I recognize the importance and great labour of most of these movements, the class seemed more like a laudatory speech. For example, we were told about Martin Luther King, but absolutely no Nation Of Islam, Black Panthers... or even context or background. It was all about his individual figure.
Also some leftist premises (capitalism breeds poverty, the media is controlled by an elite...) were taught as facts. Sometimes we didn't even talk about history at all but recent politics stuff.
I study what I read through lectures. Just finished a book on semiotics and feels nice catching up with 20th century thinking.
Uni teachers currently on strike, so I'm trying hard to study stuff on my own, but haven't touched shit in weeks. Geology major here.
I also cook in order to survive and play games. Currently catching up with ds games in emulator since I never had one. Also addicted to csgo.
While surfing the web I just read news from leftwing outlets.
>>8070110
>While surfing the web I just read news from leftwing outlets.
Idiot.
>>8070110
Also watch films (clearing up the Guardian's 999 films list, only 250 through) and listen to music. But I just can't find the will to sit 40 min straight listening to something I'll problably not enjoy, so I've been slow finding stuff I like.
I write ocasional reviews for films at letterboxd.com/blackstreetboy

Not really, the Guardian publishes quite a lot of SJW clickbait for revenue but ,leaving that aside, it's still the most thoughtful and intelligent mainstream media outlet.

Pro-tip: Take anti-depressants and start working out. If you feel uncomfortable going to a gym, buy a basic bench and barbell/weights off of Amazon, then do the Starting Strength routine. Helped me get out of really bad depression/anxiety.

What kind of work do you do where your coworkers are well read?
>>8069961
>do housecleaning bc gf works from home but is lazy as hell
would dump
>>8069961
>bc gf works from home but is lazy as hell
If she doesn't let use herself as your cumdump every two nights she is not worth to stay at your house
>>8070505
Why do you assume it's his house? They both have jobs.
>>8070512
Because she doesn't clean it. Can this logic be suffice?
>>8070521
Not really.. I mean, generally it's not the man who cleans the home in a relationship. It's usually the female half. Your logic would imply it's usually the woman who owns it.
>>8069642
work and browse the internet. i long for deaths sweet embrace
>>8069725
>I love you anon.
no you dont. stfu you fake faggot
>>8070543
I find your comment confusing.
The fact that he complains about his girlfriend not cleaning the house seems to me, makes it more likely that it is his house rather than hers, for otherwise he would not so such house cleaning at all.
>>8070568
Problem isn't whose house it is, it's that she works from home while he has to go to his place of work. A lot easier to chill at home and work and do some other stuff than having to be in some office. Factor in commuting, and that anon apparently also bakes shit, you've got an anon pulling more than he should.

How? When?
>>8070635
It depends on the schedule. Right now school is over, so its just work and thats sporadic atm. Before that school was all i had to worry about because I took time off work and i took it easy and just lived off of some savings.
Its all about organizing your time I guess.
eat and sleep. and that only cause my body needs to, otherwise id only read.
>>8069642
Work
Study music at the conservatory
Study music outside of it
Learn other languages (currently polishing my German, heading for French afterwards)
Paint or sculpt (though not as much as I used to)
Write (not that much actually)
Walk/Hike
Concerts usually once every week or two, museums once a month perhaps
Date
Sports every now and then, no routine here
I'm actually quite satisfied with my life right now, only current aim is to reduce the amount of work hours.
>>8070038
>>8070045
And to any other anon who might be getting into classical: try to get a hold on Copland's What to listen for in Music, it's a great introductory book to academic music, and will explain a lot of its aspects in layman's terms.
>>8069925
Same, what are some of your favorite films?
listen to music
videogames (the worst thing i do, probably only 1.5 hours a day max though)
make music
facetime my best friends who are all far away now

I compose & write music in general. If I went to college for that kind of thing I'd probably be better.

Besides university, I only really enjoy fishing. It's me vs. nature out there. Of course actually catching stuff is satisfying, but fishing is so much more than that. I try out different lures and techniques, search for new areas, discover places no man (realistically, few men) have ever set foot, learn about where I live, occasionally cook what I catch, etc. The only disappointing thing about fishing is having to take my car to remote areas. I'm usually alone but occasionally some old guys with heavy, regional accents strike up a conversation with the young, clean-shaven city slicker.
Thank you guys for sharing what you do, it helps me get ideas.
I have a hard time finding a hobby to stick to.

how does one do so?
I want to get into classical music but I have a hard time remembering songs and who they're by, especially with names like symphony no. 7 in d major, or whatever. I only know a few like Bolero, Moonlight Sonata, Gymnopedie, etc. after listening to classical radio a lot.
>>8070882
you still do, Anon
>>8070955
why'd ya stop babe
Work on my book, spend money, chase local girls.
Listen to as much music as I can with an emphasis on metal, punk, and jazz related styles
Watch films (mostly art house and cult classics) and tv series (acclaimed dramas, cult classics, anime, and some western cartoons)
Browse the web, trying to discover new and interesting sites but mostly 4chan
Exercise
Walk around my neighborhood, particularly around landmarks important to me as a child or homes where a resident has recently died to try and discern subtle changes
Drink moderately (usually just a single beer or glass of liquor when I feel tense or anxious)
Play old video games
Occasionally see my childhood friends and extended family members, whose relationships are invaluable and rewarding even if we only have limited opportunities to see one another
Occasionally see newer friends from my heavy drinking / drug experimenting days out of obligation because they always invite me out but I try to keep my distance since they encourage deleterious habits
Attend museums and art galleries when I can
Go on vacations with my parents when we can
But most of all I work. I miss the amount of free time I had to pursue the aforementioned when I was a student, especially during summer and winter breaks when I was living it up NEETlite style
>>8070866
Oh dont get me wrong. I go through phases all the time, sometimes Ill get burnt out on looking for new music so I wont listen to it for a while. Sometimes Ill go back to learning a language or during the winter i wont go out as much. Its ok to jump from thing to thing
I basically sleep for most of my time, I have no life anymore so I can sleep for as much as 18 hours a day, the rest I spent shitposting here
This summer I'm doing research and studying for the LSAT which take up plenty of time. Otherwise I cook, sleep, masturbate, etc. Once I get used to my schedule, I'll start running. Gotta stay busy so I forget that I have no friends, hobbies or dreams.
>>8069642
I masturbate to vanilla hentai that shows the kind of love I will never have.

>>8070621
>attempts to capture a member of the female sex, usually doesnt happen
Picturing you running after women like children run after street pigeons with their hands outstretched.
Like, if you stopped trying to capture specimens for your laboratory I'm sure you'd have an easier time of socializing with women.
>>8069642
I'm a lawyer, so I work a lot. I actually like my job for the most part. I go out to a lot of restaurants and I also like art museums, though it's been a while since I went to one actually (this makes me sad).
>>8069642
Drink.
im lossing it, i cant even exercise anymore, maybe im really going to die this summer
I bike, walk, run, go to the coffeeshop, play strategy and Sim games, cook, eat lots of snacks, work on a tugboat, think about how to improve my life, and tremble at all shear number the paths before me
>>8072709
what happened, anon?
>>8072762
i used to be fit, ive been telling everyone that im going to die this summer, as a joke, maybe ill get myself killed, i dont care i really want to feed the spirit that holds the blade with human souls, i want that power
