what is YOUR talent?

[calvran]

I can make a computer do just about anything. I own my own business repairing computers, have a very awesome mp3 playing computer that I built myself installed in my car, loaded with all kinds of obscure music that I love, and simpsons episodes too!

I do firedancing at the beach sometimes too, a lot like what the crazy hawaiian dudes do at luaus, except I'm a whole lot whiter.
I spin fire staff ( a lot of the moves are similar to martial arts staff moves, only with fire!) and fire poi.

I can liquid passably, or so I like to delude myself. I've got a decent hardcore scream coming along, and can dance at hardcore shows alright.

I need more hobbies.

Does writing even do any good as far as showing off? I scribble down some rhymes that come to mind every now and then...didn't think writing was show off material. Anybody had luck with it?

I don't know about not masturbating for 40 days and nights...but I've gone 20 so far and have 20 left. It's more of torture than a tallent though...I think I've got the "masturbation is a homosexual activity" thing stuck so deep into my head that I'll never be able to again...

i feel like i'm more of an all around guy, i can do/am learning lots of different things, but not too many things i'm the "absolute best" at.

skateboarding is up there, but i've only been doing it for 2 years and theres no way i'm as good as a lot of people. i am probably better than all the little kids you see skating at walmart or in their driveway though .

computers, i know a lot about them. nothing to in-depth though, just a lot of things people dont.

i'm learning how to drum but i suck .

i'd say i'm a pretty good writer, theres definitely better but i'm not bad.

i'll be a junior in german 5 next year. however my grammar sucks lol.

i dunno man, theres lots of things i try to be good at but I haven't found my "natural" talent yet.

I'll try an think up some of mine.

lets see,

I can do a lot of vocal stuff, sing, accents. people tell me its interesting to hear me talk? whatever that means.

I'm a pretty funny ******* kindof in a smart ass way.

and I reel in the grades.

those are the big three I can think of,
I can dance to, but I think most of us on this board can do some kind or another.

I'm not the best at anything at my school, i'm constantly improving and if everything goes according to plan then i will soon be better then the rest at alot of things.

I am a good soccer player, used to be great but got caught in a slump where i stopped playing, recently taken it up again and found that my talent is still there. All though i am no longer the best at my school i am still up there.

I'm known for being strong at my school, there are only about 4 people stronger then me at my school.

I am good with computers, always A grades in computing sujects.

Something i have realised from this thread is that alot of the people on this website are good at computers, being good at computers in a societal meaning generally is thought of as "geeky" or "nerdy", the AFC's and Nice Guy's. It's interesting because working/gaming on computers is a non-active activity and that is probably what created the need for this website for alot of us, but the + side is that now we can be "cool" and still retain our old interests and hobbies, which most geeks or nerds have to change if they want to be cool.

Interesting concept...

lol, nah. I just do it cos I find it interesting. Also it does give me some preparation for a fight, should I ever get in one (I've never been in one, and I won't ever be if I can help it). Usually I can talk myself out of something, but should there ever be a time when I cant, at least I'd be prepared.

But my interest in martial arts goes a bit further than just the self defence. I'm very interested in eastern culture as a whole, cos it rele is totally different, and the philosophy fascinates me too. I really should chec out some clubs in my area for this summer...

Well said, Sammo.

One of the greatest things I picture is a DJ who's got his life together, is cool and everything and yet he still has the knowledge of a fully-fledged nerd; that is, he appears to be a suave player while at the same time he's faster and wiser than most people.

Most of the time people preach balance as an excuse: the hb9 who's dumb as a rock, the dorky kid who can do calculus problems in his head, the whale-saving environmentalist who's never spoken to a boy before, the varsity jock who has a five minute attention span...

"BALANCE".

BUT,

I strive towards the day to when we can become the anomoly: the good-looking, athletic, smart, caring, wise, respected, natural, unbreakable DJ who rises above society to persue whatever he dreams.
