Food, nookie, and bed all given. You just need to wake up and start practicing.

 

And its got to be a realistic skill. So no psychic penis enlargement, ladies.

 

 

For me, it'd be learning to sing lead vocals while drumming. You get to combine the 2nd coolest part of a band with the most recognized one. Plus, how many lead vocalist-cum-drummers are out there? Very little I reckon.

    Being able to sing/act really well, like the stars on Broadway. Then I could be on Broadway and in movies.

    I'd say... I'd love to learn piano or I'd improve my drawings. Probably drawing!

    Being able to play piano really well.

    I hate when I have to wirte arrangements for big bands and stuff, I can't hear every voice in my guitar.

    This.

    I'd like to improve my Italian, going to try to shuffle my priorities a bit so I can give more time to it.

    Hmm... drawing or piano. I've been trying to practice over the summer but job hunting has stopped that quickly.

    You job hunt 24/7? No. I'm sure you can devote half an hour a day to something you want to improve in.

    Considering we all seem to find time to waste on here plus how many of you play Neopets, I'm pretty sure most of us could free up huge amounts of time...

    I'd want to focus on my photography! It was a large part of my life through high school but then fell by the wayside during undergrad and pharmacy school :(

    I would choose either carpentry or machining. Not only would I enjoy both, I could pretty much have a career anywhere in the world, especially since I'm about to start my second year of welding.

    I keep meaning to learn the guitar to at least a passable when drunk standard, I somehow managed to break half the strings before I managed to learn a single chord and then gave up. :p

     

    Think what I could have achieved in the past 10 years! So depressing.

     

    You would have napped for half of it anyway. :rolleyes:

    I would devote it to learning hacking/doxxing so I could discover more about a certain mysterious monochromatic bouncing mod...

    You're right. I don't job hunt 24/7, or I would have shot myself by now. I meant practice in the way the OP stated, just waking up and devoting my entire day, which is what I did before I started job hunting. I do spend about an hour a day practicing drawing, I'd just like to do more of it.

    I think I HAVE napped for half of it anyway, not sure I could add in much more.

    I'm going to auction off my dossier on him one of these days. I reckon there's enough interest I could get a good price for it. I should have started work on it sooner.

    I was learning guitar when I was 17 and I was well on the road to success when I sold it to someone a few years later for $50 because I needed formula for Braden. 
    Since then I haven't even touched a guitar and I would really like to change that soon.

    If you're ever in a squeeze money-wise I think it's definitely an option.

     

    You could go for the whole package or sell your insider info off bit by bit, one titillating fact at a time.
