What Skill do You Wish You Had? (1 Viewer)

[Cjw_55106]

I was listening to Pandora and "Easy" came on from the Commodores and I thought, man, Id give up almost any of my current skills to be able to sing like that.

If you could have any skill that you currently do not possess, what would it be?

 

[Parrothead]

ability to fly

 

[msommer]

I reallywish I could fly....

Sometmes I wish that there was a more effective brake for want of a better word between my brain and my mouth.....

 

[mquinnjr]

X-ray vision. I want to wear those fake glasses with my altered eyes and tell people, "Haha, joke's on you - the DO work!"

[RedmondLonghorn]

The first answer that always comes to mind when people ask about super powers is the ability to shoot lightning bolts from my finger tips. So dumb.

If we are talking about real life skills, right now I wish I knew R programmming. But maybe fluency in a foreign language would be better.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Nunchuck skills

 

[ZenMaster]

I'm with the OP. I wish I could sing - and I mean better than I currently do in my car.

 

[Rayderr]

Accurately predict sports scores.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Is flying a skill?

I'd choose to be able to do math in my head. Or on paper. Or on a calculator.

 

[Bucky86]

I'm going to simplify this and make it something somewhat realistic.

Probably the ability to learn any language quickly.

For some reason that's the one that always comes to mind for me too, and the one I always focus on in video games.

Agree that it's not very practical. My wife would take flying and I'd probably be jealous of her the whole time.

not once you shoot her down

[snogger]

Not to take this down a too serious path but....

I wish I could take my Non-sensitive mood on the internet into real world.. On the internet I can easily off comments.. Don't know you so don't care

But in the real World I tend to over-think/Overreact the way family interacts with me and sometimes gets me overly depressed..

Then a few hours later my wife or daughter will say something that changes my mood and makes me realize I was being WAY too sensitive..

It'd also be cool to be able to smell colors.

[TenTimes]

Humor. Wish I were funnier.

[Fennis]

I wish I had the ability to feel sad when people like Leonard Nimoy die

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I'd like the musical ability Jerry Garcia is no longer using. If I could also have Stevie Ray Vaughn's ability, well that would be sweet too.

I wish I was little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller,
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
and a six four Impala

I wish I was like six-foot-nine
So I can get with Leoshi
Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine
You know I see her all the time
Everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
I can scheme a way to make her mine
Cause I know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
So how am I gonna compete with that
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
I'm always last to be picked
And in some cases never picked at all
So I just lean up on the wall
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball
Dag y'all! I never understood, black
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me I get the hood rats
I tell 'em scat, skittle, scabobble
Got hit with a bottle
And I been in the hospital
For talkin' that mess
I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
Glad I came to my senses
Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together
Right?
So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type

I wish I had a brand-new car
So far, I got this hatchback
And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at
And when I'm in my car I'm laid back
I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
But that's flat
And do you really wanna know what's really whack
See I can't even get a date
So, what do you think of that?
I heard that prom night is a bomb night
With the hood rats you can hold tight
But really tho' I 'm a figaro
When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello
Well so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
Well then I'ma have to get in my car and go
You know I take the 110 until the 105
Get off at Crenshaw tell my homies look alive
Cause it's hard to survive when your livin'
In a concrete jungle and
These girls just keep passin' me by
She looks fly, she looks fly
Makes me say my, my, my

I wish I was a little bit taller...
I wish I was a baller...
I wish I was a little bit taller y'all
I wish I was a baller

Hey, I wish I had my way
'Cause everyday would be a Friday
You could even speed on the highway
I would play ghetto games
Name my kids ghetto names
Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine
Yo you know that's on the real
So if you're down on your luck
Then you should notice how I feel
Cause if you don't want me around
See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound
Hey, you , what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like dat

Having a fountain of youth **** would be sweet, if we are going into the realm of fantasy. If every time you performed the recipient reverse aged a % you would have every hottie in the world paying a king's ransom for your services.

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

I've never tried guitar. Would be awesome to be a natural. I'm sure learning is half the fun but I am not sure I can do it successfully.

Dunno. Once I sabotaged the powerplants in the area, I would be the only source of electricity.

 

[GregR]

I'd have a tail. It would be so great. People could tell when I was angry. They'd go, "Get back! Look out, don't #### with Greg today. Look at his tail."

 

[Guest]

Play the violin or cello well.

 

[Parrothead]

ability to talk to animals.. and have them obey me..

hello bird.. please #### on that guy in the red shirt..

 

[Spin]

The ability to convince people to do whatever I wanted them to do.

 

[TheIronSheik]

I'd always hoped I was a natural at something.

On that same note, I always find it fascinating when people are naturals. Like Gretzky. Dude was born to play hockey. But what if he had been born in Qatar? Would he ever have known he was a natural at hockey? And if not, does that mean that I might be a natural at Cricket or some stupid sport I've never heard of? I like to think I'm the Gretzky of Cricket, and that I just never had my chance to shine.

Sounds like a good fan fiction. You could be the next 50 shades.

But not for you, you are a natural. You would always be 10 steps ahead of the game, and any danger.

 

[McGarnicle]

If I could just suck my own ####, a lot of the drama in my life could have been avoided.

 

[Poke_4_Life]

The ability to be a good public speaker. I've worked at it and I can hold a meeting or even lead a class fairly well, but the ability to speak well to large groups of people and sell my ideas would be invaluable in my line of work.

You ever see Scott Baio in Zapped!? I wish that could be me.

I was thinking more like the ancient Mayan ball games

The sacred Ball Court was the site of a brutal Mayan sport. The field, approximately the size of a football field, is bordered by two imposing walls 26 feet tall. Seven combatants on each team tried to get a small rubber ball to go through a small stone hoop 23 feet above the ground supposedly without using their hands or feet to touch the ball. Virtually all descriptions of the native Mexican ballgames stress that hands were not allowed to touch the ball. Yet two 8th century Maya sculptures and several Peten Maya vases show players with their hands on the ball.It is believed that the losers of this game were often sacraficed to the Gods. These Mayan games predate the olympics by about 500 years!
