If only all time could be down time. Then life would be a lot more pleasant.
Considering how busy the Jonas Brothers have been lately, they probably haven’t had much down time to spend golfing or doing anything else fun and relaxing (like brushing their lovely long hair or staring at themselves in the mirror, perhaps?).
This popular boy band made up of real-life brothers Kevin, Joe, and Nick just released their third album, A Little Bit Longer, and they’re only 16, 19, and 21 years old. But when they have down time, they like to golf because it helps them escape the stress of touring and being so freaking cute all the time.
Down time means the same thing as leisure time or free time. What do you like to do with your down time? (Besides dreaming about those adorable Jonas Brothers, that is.)
