I'd love to/plan to pick up some knowledge of emergency/first aid, take Akido in university and hopefully reawaken my old training in Kung Fu and Tai Kwon Do, learn to sing, learn another language (either something really useful like French or something really obscure like Sumerian), learn how to make pottery, take some photography courses, and maybe design some clothes. The last one is so stereotypically gay but it's something I imagine I could have quite a lot of fun with.

One of my cousins tried skydiving when he was on holiday in Australia and loved it. Then again... he also took up kick boxing.

Don't really think it's for me somehow.

everything basically . But some skills are related to ability. I'd like to be a QB in the NFL for example. But I lack the ability to do that.

sailing would be cool.

self-fellatio might be an interesting skill to learn as well. But that would related to ability and flexibility as well.

I would love to be a top notch hacker and cracker. That could have its uses

I'd love to learn lots of languages. This would surely help me pick up women. French, italian, german, dutch, thai, chinese, korean, japanese, filipino, russian, indian, arabic just for starters.

I have no desire to learn how to cook. I'd like the skill of picking up a woman who will cook for me

I'd like to have spy skills as well. I'd like to be able to disguise myself and blend into middle eastern countries. I would like to fulfill my desire to kill Osama Bin Ladin. I'd search the entire region looking for him.

Auto skills. Definitely. Insanely practical, useful, and pretty much necessary. I'd love to have an intimate knowledge of the workings of most modern automobiles. The only problem being that I have no passion for the area. Hm.

And, of course, the language thing. Looks like I'll be unable to continue French "officially", but hopefully university Spanish will yield some positive results.

So, for you paragliders, why should I chose paragliding over handgliding?

Which one is better?

1) Growing a pair of functional wings and maybe a prehensile tail, too.

2) Using them for good and not evil.

3) Be able to pick most locks in under 10 sec (at ~30 now) because I lose my keys all the time, but there are always streetcleaners around.

4) Have IP-x-ray vision so's I can see who's actually a 16-yr old horny virgin (yeah fvcking right) and who's really a dirty old man pretending to be a 16-yr old horny virgin (ah, that's more like it).

5) Be able to predict who will think phrases like 'Surely you must be dead, Mr. Feynman' or 'Heisenberg probably died today' are funny, so I can avoid the blank stares of those who don't.

Oh yes paragliding! I was just watching tv couple of days ago and saw it and thought 'I want to try that'.
But it's expensive here. But some day I will do that.

It may seem strange but now (age 41) I want to learn to do the things I have never shown any aptitude for.

I've done martial arts, cooking, fixing motorbikes, tried dinghy sailing , done rock climbing (too extreme), a geology degree (because I wanted to) and they all came pretty easy.

What I really want to do are learn to play a musical instrument and speak another language, both things I have had no interest in until a year or two back and have never had any talent for.

There's time yet.
