What sort of things do you want to learn?

<< < (4/6) > >>

I play guitar but would love to pick it up more often. I was in a couple of bands as a kid (if you really want a giggle, this was the more successful of the two bands, I was asked to play rhythm until they found a better replacement). I've dabbled, written a few songs (never recorded), learnt some other stuff, but never find the time to fit it in. I've contemplated taking my guitar to work with me and just playing something, but I keep getting asked to teach customers kids to play and I really cba. I got enough of that at uni; teaching kids to play "White Stripes" and "Nirvana" until I wanted to bang my head against something hard...

Ixarku: Learn to sweep. It will take you a few months but its a good trick to play quickly. Katsu Ohta is older than you and...well watch. Minimal movement needed. Alternatively, tapping is good. Few people play really quickly via conventional methods, these techniques just make it easier. Playing quickly is only part of it, the songs with tonnes of movement up and down the board, or with strange timings, may not be the fastest tracks but are far harder imo.

I built a gaming computer but rarely game on it amusingly.

I've done parkour, went out with a friend every so often (he was actually in a docu about it back when it first hit the mainstream eye) but got scared shitless when I saw him jump between roofs and stuff :/

I was once ranked in the top 10 hunters for a game I used to play, led a number of guilds and became infamous for starting a year long feud between two guilds/alliances with a total of ~150 players. Just so they would both stop attacking my small band of brigands.

I'm a certified Engineer.

I've made many a cocktail. Most of them awful. The lesson? Don't get too ambitious with it. Just because you have both peach schnappes and rum in the cupboard doesn't mean they should be mixed.


My own intentions involve:

1) Getting a better job/career
2) Finding the time to get back to guitar
3) To continue my travelling exploits (5 countries in 18 months, and next week I hit a 6th with plans already for a 7th and 8th \o/)
4) To somehow find the time to watch everything on my hard drive (HAHAHAHAHA)
5) And perhaps most importantly, not fuck up my current relationship for stupid reasons.

Except for my overall goal of always trying to do the best at what ever I attempt...
I try and keep things pretty realistic. There are a million and one things I would Love to at least attempt, but in the real world I keep the list short to things Id like to keep doing and most likely enjoy. I try and keep in mind how the Japanese can be, devoting their entire life to one specific thing and the perfection of that task.

I want to eventually do some blacksmithing, because of which I have already taught myself how to weld and have done some basic metal fabrication.
I messed around with a harmonica when I was much younger and would like to get serious with it, I already have one on Amazon waiting for me to order it.  ;D
Learn a new language. Not sure which though, German, Japanese, Russian, or Chinese are at the top of the list.
I would like to become a better track driver, though Im pretty sure its already too late to do it professionally.

Everything else is just one form or another at getting better of what I already do. Automotive, science, electronics, etc.
I can pretty much do anything with a car, short of having the money or tools.
I can pretty easily put together a computer system/network, though I HATE dealing with software which is why I never went into IT.
Make sure to keep myself fit enough to not have to struggle to do anything such as heavy lifting or running.
Spent a couple years with parkour around 04/05 until I got bored of it. This city just isnt dense enough for such a thing.

TiYlER:
1) Get the hell outta here (America)
2) Learn to animate (2d)
3) Continue to learn to draw
4) Know a language other than English (Working on French, Japanese is in my dreams)
5) To become taller than my step-dad (he's 6' 4", I'm barely 6')
6) To completely understand the human mind
7) To visit England (to see kuran-sama), India (to see Froodo/mist), Tibet, and to live in Japan

dogsinafen:
More computer stuff.
