I can"t roll my R's. And that's sad, really. I can imitate that guy Michael Buffer, you know, the guy that's a ring announcer for boxing? I can do him perfect......'LLLLLLLLLLLLLLet's get ready to RRRRUUUMMMMMMBLLLLLLLLE' ".....and in this corner, weighing in at ONE 49 with a record of NINEteen wins, FIFteen by knock out, and CRUISErweight CHAMPion of the WORLLLLLLLLLLLLD..VICtor, 'el TYson del aBASto' RRRRRRRRRRRRRRaMIRaaaaaaaaazzzzzz..." except I FAIL with the RRRRamiraz because I can't roll my r's.


People don't listen to you? Well, that's sad, but .....not being able to roll your r's is practically devastating.....


i'll go on tho.....

The ability to stay awake during the day and sleep during the night. Or.. Not have insomnia or some wacky sleep schedule that has NOTHING to do with the amount of sleep I'm actually getting. Good nights sleep... passing out in fits of narcolepsy all day ... insomnia all night and wakeful all day.. it makes no sense

I wish I had musical skills as well as writing skills.
Maybe even the ability to make Christian films.
I think that would be oh so cool!
We need more real Christian entertainment flowing through the media these days.

the list is so long, i can't possibly add them all here. but here are a few highlights:

+ sewing skills, like popclick. it would save me so much in aggravation and money, since a great deal of my clothes have to be altered. for example, my legs are too long for regular length pants, but depending upon the item, i'm not quite tall enough for "talls". jeans and some stuff are no biggie, but for more dressy stuff, i need to adjust the hems, usually.

+ i'm an AWFUL joke teller. i usually am laughing so hard by the time that i get to the punchline that you can't even understand me. it's terribly embarassing, but i soldier on, and continue with my awful joke telling, while my friends and clients offer puzzled looks, usually laughing at me.

maybe one day...

+ i wish i was more of a morning person. to this day, i still wake up to an alarm clock. i'm a total night owl and "do my best sleeping" in the wee morning hours, and toss and turn until then. it's super annoying.

i've also discovered that when i don't spend all my energy, i don't sleep well at all. last week was a reminder of that.

+ i wish i was better with languages. i have a good knowledge of several but none that i would actually call myself truly fluent in. i plan to improve my fluency status with a couple in the future.

I wish I could dance ballet, play the piano, and was able to draw. I also want to learn archery and how to use a gun, just for fun.

I used to have that ability and believe me it's no panacea. I didn't take medication or anything, I was just so fed up with everything and everyone and had nowhere to turn and I reached a place where I just literally did not care anymore about anything. It was a very dangerous place because in that state of mind I could have easily done something that would have dire consequences (including suicide) and I wouldn't have cared at all. Very scary place to be. This was just before I decided to give Jesus a try. God bless...and I am praying for you. If you could, please pray for me too. I'm in need of it right now. God bless you.

I have never fully learned how to swim, so it'd be awesome to learn that.

- The ability to talk easily in front of a crowd

- The ability to read music and play the piano and guitar. I took piano lessons for 7 or 8 years, and was part of a band in elementary and middle school. I've had 3 music teachers, and I would practice daily. I'm just not musically inclined.

I wish I could play some sort of instrument. To bring joy to others and just really jam out.
