building computers from scratch would be awsome. also becoming a proffesional football player. only for the money of course

 

Building computers is easy, as long as you've got the right components it's just a case of plugging them all in, you can do it in less than an hour so you definitely don't need 2 years to learn that.

I'd like to re-learn how to play the piano, it wouldn't take me two years though. I can read music well enough still, I'd just have to get in the habit of playing every day again. Would love to get a nice grand piano someday.

 

Also I'd really like to be fluent in a second language, preferably Spanish or French. I do try with the Duolingo app and things when I can, but I think to truly grasp a language I would need to spend time in those countries.

If I had two years and the money to hire someone to coach me, I'd do languages. Start by becoming fluent in Spanish and then take it from there.

You should try the Duolingo app, if you have a smartphone.

So true.

For me, it would be drawing.

 

As a kid, I drew a little, but it was one of those things I always believed you needed a "natural talent" for. I met a guy at a show a few years back who was an amazing tattoo artist - he pulled up some of his work on his phone while we were talking about tattooing - and he told me he hadn't really ever had any skill growing up. When he was 18, he was a dropout with no clear life goals, no job and no place to go. A friend took him in and forced him to draw 6-8 hours a day and monitored his progress, ultimately taking him on as an apprentice at his shop after. I don't know how much of it was true, but that would be the ultimate dream.

It's gotta be Basketball. I'm too short to even play point guard but my dream would be to play centre. I want to just post up and jump right over people and toss the ball in like it's nothing. The current plan is to play with 4th graders as I'm taller than the majority of them.

 

But yeah. Realistically I want to improve ball handling and my field goal %.

Cool that you mention a sport. I got so caught up in learning an instrument that I never even gave a thought to it.

 

I think just drumming all day for 2 years is going to take the fun out of it for me. I'd love to practice and perfect my snooker and pool skills along the way. Until then, I can only drool while watching Ronnie O'Sullivan score 147s like I take a dump.

Ahh instruments. I once pursued that path but gave up awhile ago. I tried learning piano and it just didn't work out. I didn't set up a good enough routine / schedule. I should have came up with piano dallies for myself to complete or something. haha.

In my leisure time I already practise the creative things I wanna be good like piano, singing, drawing or photographing.

Honestly, I'd like to learn some computer stuff XD (<-- sounds girly, right?) I wanna learn how to check AoB ... that's the one thing of the things I like to but I haven't done till now

I really want to learn Capoeira. But given that I even have trouble following simple exercise dance videos, it would be very difficult. I have very poor coordination and even worse patience. So if there was some magical force making me actually try to learn something against my will, I would use it on Capoeira.
