Its kind of a bragging thread, but its cool to hear what people are good at be it work, sports, music, academics.

In my younger years I was a very talented baseball player. I, 4 times played on a traveling all star team as a catcher. I had a cannon for an arm, and was a fairly good hitter. I was a good contact hitter with occasional pop.

I was a decent bowler as well when I was young. I maintained a 170 average. High game, 244.

I am a strong vocalist and have sang in bands off and on for 20+ years. (check out my link)

I am a pretty strong cook. I have had this passion since I was a teenager and feel I can cook with any amateur out there.

That would be my strengths.

What are yours?

I would wage money on my breakfast making abilities.
I can run a car into the ground and not scratch it.
I can fall from high places and be okay.
I made the allstar team in my district as a pitcher 5 years in a row.
I'm a good backyard demolitionist.

I honestly can't think of any unique talents I have. This is something that has been seriously bothering me for years. I hope one day to discover that one thing I can identify and go "yeah, I kick ass at that." Until then...I'm not exceptionally good at anything.

I also excel at Coz's last but best talent.

rumborak · « **Reply #17 on:** April 06, 2011, 11:14:47 AM »

Guitar playing and languages are probably the two biggest ones. And, my previous supervisor on his last day at work told me that I have an uncanny ability to debug code. I never perceived it as such, but apparently it's an ability of mine.

I can play guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and know enough about audio engineering to be able to write and record over 60 songs in the past two years.

Um, I can write pretty well, despite this sentence.

I can also tape all of your buns together.

That would make a pretty big bun, I can not lie. And I'm sure you other brothers can't deny.

Surprisingly, I'm not very good at stand up comedy, at least when I've tried. Who knows, though. It has been a few years.

What about writing Cracked articles?

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #30 on:** April 06, 2011, 03:28:03 PM »

Yeah, maybe your forte is in writing way more than in front of people. That is how it is with me, and you need to be like me, Lee.

Eh, I make passable cartoons.

and I'm not fishing for compliments, I just feel that I have a long way to go.

I also put some poetry I'm proud of in the poetry thread, but some of it is embarrassingly bad stuff I pull out of word files from my high school freshman year and post when I've been up far too late.

I have so many poems now just from high school and early college days. It's interesting to read back on that stuff...to me it's good, but I dunno how others would like it.

I'm a decent cook, and apparently I have a sort of natural ability to kick ass at fighting games right off the bat...this is evidenced by the fact that if me and my friends pick up a new fighting game and try playing it together, they tend to get frustrated and stop playing with me

Dude, where the fuck have you been? NO ONE likes poetry. The entire art form has become a huge fucking cliché in the past century by people who have never read a poem in their life.

But you write them anyways so you can express how gad damned deep and complex and thoughtful you're probably not while others keep making the word "poetry" more and more of a joke every day.

sorry i'm just stressed out and i hate everything
