answer this question.

What would you like to do, but can't?
 

Possess identical strength and dexterity in the limbs on both sides of my body, and
the necessary mental overhead to control them efficiently at this new, higher capacity.

@bruce:

Not really. The most accurate word literally, but 'selfconscious' and 'unselfconscious' carry connotations around confidence. I was getting at something slightly different. Difficult to put into words.

I wish I had a photographic memory and could could recall, at will, everything I've ever read or learned.

I also like the whole teleportation idea. :D

Ah, got it. Words, like old friends and lovers, accumulate baggage. ;)

Would like to ride the bike today, but:

1) It is snowing
2) It isn't licensed
3) No brake light
4) I have a meeting to attend

Unless your meeting is your own funeral, in which case all the reasons would be positive indicators, you have made a prudent decision.

Remember there are only two kinds of bikers:

Old ones and bold ones, and they are mutally exclusive.

I would like to love myself.
I'd settle for liking myself.
I'd be happy with thinking I'm pretty damn cool.

I'm hoping that this is a case of, "I can't... yet"

I'm doing a lot of things I thought I couldn't do at the moment.
But without believing in myself there will always be a glass ceiling.

Dear SG
here's a sprinkling of fairy dust that allows you to see yourself as others do ...
We at teh Cellar love you, like you and think you're pretty damn cool.
Honest.
If only you could see you ...
:luv:

I can't run a mile without feeling like my lungs are about to explode. I'm working on fixing that one though.

I can't play guitar although I've tried. I really just can't get the whole fret thing happening. I console myself with being able to play piano and sing and in knowing that I've been able to play just about every other instrument I've tried.

I actually find the whole concept of 'I can't' a bit irritating actually. I think in most cases (as limey said) the only thing stopping us is ourselves and our priorities. I think most of us would say 'I can' to the things that're most important to us.

WTF? Why don't you like you, everybody else does? :confused:

I wish I could surf really well. Get out in some 10 or 12 foot pumpers and ride some barrels, cruise the green room. That looks so bloody awesome.

Many obstacles are in my path. Lack of physical strength (for paddling out). Very susceptible to cold especially from being in water (due to being so thin). Lack of good surf nearby. Lack of board, suit etc.

I could do it if I really wanted to, but I don't want to badly enough to do all the work I would have to do to get there from here. And that, I think, applies to very many idle fancies I have. I'd like to be a virtuoso musician, a polyglot, a yogi, a third-dan aikidoka, and rich as all hell. In reality, I prefer to spend my free time hanging with my friends or going hiking.

@ SG: you darling girl. Like Limey said, "IF ONLY you could see yourself the way WE see you!"

You are fascinatingly cool, ungodly witty, gorgeous as only the Girlfriend of God can be and a creative genius. And that's only the beginning.

LOVE U!
