I’m boring! What can I do to make me more interesting / a better person / happier? ?

I’m 25 and have 2 great jobs which I love (65hours per week -don’t tell me to cut down please, I cannot). I didn’t study further than secondary (high) school. I am fairly clever and would like to persue further education later but at the moment am enjoying work (and the money) too much.
I have recently had a failed attempt at a relationship and looking at myself through her eyes, realised that I’m fairly dull. At 21 I was the life and soul of every party, a player and a dealer to boot. Since then i have grown up a bit, abandoned womanising, drugs and most of my old friends. Now I have a very small social circle and few interests.
I’ll cut to the chase. I would love some suggestions based on your experiences of something you have done at similar junctures in life which kickstarted another phase of your life.
Like, taking up Tai Chi
Learning to play guitar
Joining a sporting club
Returning to church (I have done this and have found it enormously fulfilling by the way)

Also open to more eccentric suggestions -and more likely to follow!
Like, buy decks and learn to scratch,
Learn all the lyrics to every Wu-Tang Clan song
Go paragliding.

Yeah, in fairness I am fairly happy, but I just feel a little empty and unfulfilled. Perhaps it is just love I need, or do I need to get my head straight before I can find true love?

Remember I am tied to these jobs for a few more years at least.
Thanks in advance folks, any advice will be considered.

(I’m not going to go paragliding, I’m Irish, It’s always raining here:D )

why do people lump meditation in with religion?

if you suggest that meditation should be taught in schools- some people say it would be the same as teaching prayer. how is meditation anything like prayer? also, check this out and tell me what you think… http://www.davidlynchfoundation.org/ – the david lynch foundation for consciousness education and world peace

is the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness Based Education and World Peace a good idea? (details below…

David Lynch (Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mullholland Drive, Twin Peaks, etc.) has established an organization whose purpose is to introduce transcendental meditation and consciousness education into the classrooms of children all over the world, in order to bring peace to individuals (Lynch believes that in order to have world peace, you must first have peaceful individuals) and allow them to access the creativity in their brains that seems to have been stifled by modern society.

According to Lynch (as well as many credible scientists), transcendental meditation offers a solution to classroom stress, clinical depression, learning disorders, high blood pressure, lack of academic achievement, and individuals not realizing their brains’ full potential. Lynch operates the foundation in conjunction with Dr. John Hagelin (quantum physicist), who is responsible for creating one of (if not THE) most successful versions of the Grand Unified Field Theory.

is Lynch on the right track?
