Talents You Wished Were Yours
 

I'm just putting a random question out there. I searched the threads but I didn't come up with anything.

Is there a talent that you wished you had, that you weren't graced with at birth?

If anything I would like to have the power to compose music and create it. I have the creativity and motivation but power to see it is out of my grasp. To be able to create music that others could enjoy would make me very happy.

What are yours?

The one talent I wish I had was to sing well.

I am always singing, but it is the most god-awful sound for others to endure.

I'd love to be able to play the guitar. That alone would be a feat in itself for me but I wanna be able to play the guitar like Django Reinhardt once did. Nobody has ever played the guitar like he did and I consider him the greatest guitarist of all time. If I were going for a more rock-like style then I'd like to play the guitar like Ygnwie Malsteen.

I wish I had Shin's ability to get right munted, fuck some fat broad, and then be proud of it in the morning.

I'd love to know sleight of hand. It's always cool to see in person and it's a great icebreaker. The fact that it tends to impress women is also quite appealing.

I want to play the violin.

Desperately.

:(

Every heterosexual male already has that ability built into them. It's just that some of us choose not to put it into practice, is all.

Apparently women also have this ability, hence the reason you two are able to consistently get laid.

That was a low blow and you know it. :(

Did I actually hurt your feelings?

I know its rather impossible, but I really wish I had the ability to move things with my mind. That would be rather cool. To just levitate my food from the counter to my table, or wherever I happen to be sitting. If I drop something, forget bending down, just levitate it up. At work, when the boss asks me to move lumber, just move it with my mind.

I dunno, probably to be able to do, Dead Scream through a pencil or be able to transform into to any character that I like, as in I actually have to like the character or be a newtype or do voice acting, I dunno I can't come with anthing good.

Fortunately for you I lack those "feeling" things you speak of.

This reminds me: I'd also love to be able to do metalcore vocals.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a talent, but the ability to be able to express things from my mind clearly, whether it is musical, artistic, or verbal. I would like to be able to translate whatever is in my mind perfectly onto a piece of paper.

I would love to have some athletic talent, even if a little. I'm just horrible at anything sports-related basically and it'd be nice to have some kind of inclination. I'm a good example of the standard nerd.

I'll own up. So fucking owned.

I wish I could draw. That's the one thing you couldn't just by practicing.

Yes you can. That's exactly how you get good at drawing.

I want to have the gift of gab. I have limited conversational skills, and can only express ideas eruditely by sitting down and taking time to cerebrate!

I'd wish I can make anyone laugh. Great to get chicks, too.

The ability to make new friends. Dunno why, I cannot just say hi directly to a new person around me. Lucky I didn't become a hikikomori.

I'm not sure why I can't sing well. I can do great voice impersonations and at times I can even do a little Sinatra-like Jazz Lounge type singing, but I guess that's one area I can't compete in. Ahh well.

I wish my vision wasn't as bad as aids, ebola, and sars combined. :(

Really, now.

I've always had a secret desire to be an opera singer. Never had the time or the wherewithal to train my voice to those levels, but it sure would be neat be able to just spontaneously burst into song.
