Iron Man 3 - Tony's Hobby

Iron Man 3 is the recent superhero film that everyone is watching on the big screen. Have they all read the comics before? Have they watched Iron Man and Iron Man 2 before? Or are they here just because there was so much marketing hype about this comic hero?
Tony Spark is Iron Man. For years, he has a hobby which he cultivated. It was his love for building human-like robots as suits for him. He started small and there were mistakes - such as the armor flying fiercely in all directions towards him. But he built a name from what he loved doing. He became famous, as he was able to add sophisticated and superior artificial intelligence into his suits. Twice in the movie, he replied, as a matter-of-fact, that he build Iron Man because he needs a hobby.

What's my hobby? In this fast-paced world, am I so subsumed into my daily chores that I have no hobbies to pursue? What are hobbies? Can I consider blogging and travelling - my hobbies, though I am never a specialist in setting up blogs or giving travel advice? What happened to jogging & badminton? Maybe it's time I start behaving like 'Iron Man'...
