Lately, I've only been interested in gun related activities. This isn't entirely bad in and of itself, but I am told that I'll eventually become bored with it if I overdose on it. The individual telling me this is a fellow weaponry aficionado. I wouldn't put any weight in his opinion if he weren't.
In that spirit, list what I should see and do to be more culturally aware. [

If you lived near me, we could go to the Japanese Kimono's of the 20th Century exhibit at the Dayton Art Institute this weekend.

Who feeds you all those BS about gun culture being bored?  On the contrary, the more you dive into it the more hook you gets.

Your friend is wrong, IMO. You don't need "culture"--you need more guns and more sex. In that order.

Wow. That was weak. Anyway, you don't need 'culture'. However, reading more couldn't be a bad idea. I'm sure you could get plenty of suggestions. To hijack, has anyone here read Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason"? I saw it referenced numerous times while reading another book and wondered if it was any good. |

You should work on becoming a pie aficionado.

Drive over to Jackson, MS, and catch the Baroque Dresden exhibit.
Awesome jewels, arms and armor, Old Master paintings, gold, porcelains, and a 41 carat diamond. Runs through September. Treasures from the Green Vaults.Baroque Dresden |

You're a Texan! I thought culture beyond guns involved creating the greatest BBQ menu.

I like classical music, opera and nice long walks around the lake in addition to blasting small rodents...

You should get into this thing called the internet. If you're spending too much time with your guns, put them down and surf the net. That'll fix everything.
ETA: woohoo, #3333! |

Your friend is right. Why not look inot some kind of physical activity? Running, biking, tennis, volleyball, swimming, etc. It's loads of fun, good for you, and a great way to meet chicks.

I need some culture too. But there's nowhere around here to get it.....
But, I am traveling up to Cloudcroft, NM for a very nice Mother's Day lunch with my mother and mother in law. Nicest place around at least. Bout 90 miles away...... |

That's good and all, but the key is to get out of the house. "Lifting" is great, but it's not the same as an activity done just for the sake of fun. I ride my bike over to the beach almost every night after work and it truly is not at all a "workout" it's just fun. Plus I get to check out all the honies! |

Culture sux.
I used to think that I wanted 'culture', that I needed 'culture', that, somehow without 'culture' I was just some piece of worthless garbage. I have nothing in common with anyone who "has" culture. I enjoy people, fun outdoor activities like shooting and skydiving, drinking beer, getting dirty, getting "dirty", etc. My life is a lot more fulfilled since I decided I was just a common redneck. |

Try this. You'll thank me later. Get a CD of Beethoven's 5th and/or of Beethoven's 9th. Get a vehicle that will do an easy 90 mph. Go to the most beautiful (long) stretch of road you can find, and play the CD while driving as near to/far into triple digits as you dare (gotta blow the carbon out, right?). That is culture.

I wouldn't jump right into this culture thing if I were you. Better to immerse yourself slowly.
For example, try listening to NPR for short periods of time before, say, shelling out big bucks for a year's membership to a gay bathhouse. |

Try some genealogy or take some classes at a local school for drawing.
