I'm gonna be the man who accomplishes all my goals...
Sorry, I've got the Proclaimers running through my head.
I learned it on the guitar because it's stupid easy, and it's fun attempting to imitate their voices (accents and all).
I've also been trying to learn about writing music and was reminded of one of my favorite videos by this site. That inspired me to learn the chords from Pachelbell's Canon in D Major, which is awesome because it reminds me of many great songs, and it's helping me with my transitions in and out of barre chords.
I have realized, however, that the guitar has an unfair advantage when it comes to hobbies I'm pursuing. It is by far the easiest to pick up and practice, requiring almost no preparation, and it's always in my sight because there are two sitting in my room. Also, music strikes a chord (PUN!) that all my other hobbies don't. If I'm not careful, I'll spend the entire year playing guitar and think at the end, "now, wasn't there something else I meant to do?"
That's why, as soon as I'm done typing this, I'm going to jump into some programming (after strumming a few notes of course...).
