All things in moderation, right? Sometimes I question the legitimacy of social constructs like the work week and vacation and retirement.

I have hobbies. It's pretty obvious that I like firearms. I own many firearms and use them pretty regularly. They are both a part of my job (professional development) and a sport (shooting) as well as a craft (building, customizing). I don't sell plasma or pimp out my girlfriend to buy guns, though.
I guess you could say I'm a pretty balanced guy. OP pretty much sums up my feelings on the addiction/hobby line. It's when you start acting retarded.
What I don't like and can't stand are people that take their "hobby" to the extremes of interfering with social constructs like the work week. I don't like Mountain Dew-chugging non-showering WoW players, people that wear football jerseys during the weekdays and "Dude!"-slinging hippie potheads.
