When I was in My teens and 20s (I’m 36 now) I was an adrenaline junky. Mainly motorsports. Had a jet ski, snowmobile, dirt bikes and a dune buggy that was street legal that I liked to race 1/8th mile drag with. Also played sports at school year round when I was a kid. My love for that stuff faded after a bad dirt bike accident then pretty much ended after my kids were born. Since my kids were born I haven’t even driven over the speed limit lol. I do probably get enough adrenaline rushes at work though. I’m a surgical technologist and I cover trauma. I’m the surgical tech that scrubs all the gun shots, stabbings , motor vehicle accidents. I enjoy my job. For surgical techs scrubbing scheduled cases is kind of boring after a while. I like Trauma because I enjoy the pressure of having to be versatile and having to be able to think on my feet and adapt as the case goes on. For example most surgical techs specialize in one type of surgery. For example general surgery, ortho, neuro, urology, gyn, ENT, plastics, and so on. Well if you have a patient that has been shot twice and a round goes through the sigmoid colon(general surgery) and bladder(urology) and the other goes through the femoral artery (vascular) and femur(orthopedic) . You could possibly get into 4 different specialties for that one case if the patient is stable enough for docs to keep working. Outside of work and music these Days I just try to be a good a dad. Both of my daughters are in gymnastics and dance. When there’s a weekend when there’s no band practices or gigs I take the family out of town and do all kinds of stuff. Go to the beach, theme parks, science museums, visit relatives, sometimes we go to Farms where we can pick strawberries and or blueberries, hang out at the park. Just sorta get out, unplug from work, school, gadgets(phones and iPads) and just spend time together. I used to be into video games but mainly just play ports of Old SNES and PlayStation games on my iphone these days. You’d be surprised how many games that I consider classic are available on iPhone these days (nba jam, street fighter, mortal Kombat, multiple final fantasy games. Should probably sell all the video game systems and games I have laying around the house could probably fund another bass lol.
