Getting away with justified homicide? Who knows what skills one had when there was an arsehole telling you were no good.

Re: What has passed you by ?

I would have loved to paint and draw i even try now and again, i can copy drawing pictures ok. I love taking photographs too especially unusual ones.
Another craft i would have liked to do was Pottery, i made a small bowl once at a Pottery evening i think i still have it somewhere...

The thing is with me i have it all in my head, but when i try it never come's out the way it should

I'd give my right hand to be able to play the piano well.

Re: What has passed you by ?

Speak fluent French. I topped my class at school so should have continued when I left, but obviously didn't.

I also loved drawing/art. I doodle at times, drawing horses or aeroplanes, but of course they are poorly done.

Also as I enjoyed horse riding for a time I should have gone on to be more experienced, like jumping. But as it terrified me I didn't. Also I'm not a committed all weathers pet care person, like rushing up to a stable every day!!

Re: What has passed you by ?

How true is that !
I watched them pianists running their hands over the keys no problem - why didn't it work for me and - in me head I sound so like Frank Sinatra - yet when I sing I don't !

Re: What has passed you by ?

A one handed piano player eh? - I expect there is one somewhere.

Re: What has passed you by ?

I would love to have the talent to be able to chisel out a classical sculpture from a solid block of marble, the people who can do this amaze me and I think it's a great gift to have, it goes back thousands of years and their work lasts forever, it's so skillful, one little mistake on a face or a finger and the whole thing is ruined, it's an adventure from start to finish packed with tension. A man could lose himself in his marbles, or lose his marbles himself.

Re: What has passed you by ?

Love to be able to sing and/or play an instrument. I see people who can do these things getting so much pleasure from it.

Re: What has passed you by ?

That really is something ....

Re: What has passed you by ?

I had piano lessons as a child but it was forced upon me, not something I wanted and although I was told I was good at playing I never really wanted to and still don´t. I would liked to have learnt to speak more languages fluently but like most things I never put in the time or practice, something else always got in the way and still does.
