If it makes me happy,
    doesn't hurt anyone else,
        makes someone else's life a little better,
            isn't forbidden by either Biblical or legal codes,
                and may in fact be somewhat beneficial;

what's the problem with doing something a little different?

Well, yes, there is that little side element of people thinking you're weird. In my case, though, that's been going on since at least the second grade. A particular behaviorial shift isn't going to change that.

On the other hand, one of the guys in our Friday night group asked about some piece of what I'm up to (er, 'cause he saw me doing it the other day), and upon my reluctant admission, lit up and declared, "Dude! That's Purpose!" There's been some chat lately about having a purpose, having a goal/dream, and living to reach it, so lately when I've been thinking of "purpose," it's been career-oriented. This was just something on the side that I wanted to do that I thought might be kinda cool.

"isn't forbidden by biblical...codes"
Watch out for this one. If you've read the bible, you know the thousand and one crazy things forbidden by the Lord in the Hebrew scriptures.

This one isn't, but I do appreciate the admonition.
