Things I Wish I Was Good At

In general, I think I am pretty good at most things. I've always been good in sports, school, work, etc. But the two things I absolutely suck at that I wish I was good at are dancing and singing. Most of my good friends are very musically inclined people, so even if they're not good at dancing, they're good singers, or at the very least they are very good musicians. I am absolutely horrible at all of those things.

I remember friends once tried to convince me to learn to the play the bass because they needed a bass player for their band. It never materialized and I think in the end, we are all much better for it. Thankfully, I don't think it has ever even occurred to anyone to ask me to sing.

Of course, give me enough free booze and I somehow believe that I turn into the guys shown here. Not as bad as those douche bags who insist that they are fluent in Spanish when they're drunk, despite the fact that they speak little to no Spanish when sober. I'm pretty sure that drunkenly stumbling into the La Bamba's and hollering slurred gibberish at the poor guy taking orders does not qualify you as "fluent". I think it just makes you a patronizing asshole.
