    Artist and mechanic, musician and writer, gardener and animal lover......

    Some "I used to do that" stuff; Custom Auto body and paint, Guitar builder (hand crafted from raw wood), Custom boot maker (and other leather work, Renaissance style), Landscape garden design and install, Home remodeling/finishing, Book Binding/custom covering and Woodcraft (Medieval fantasy style), Magical implements......

    I "know" what animals feel, written some poems that impressed poets, am highly empathic, have a very intuitive design sense, the ability to "repair" something by combining several dis-similar items.

    Also some music writing, recording and mixing...... still trying to set up to do this again, but not actively recording at the moment.... got a shitload of recording stuff, but not enough. Would have some problems playing as I used to now that my hands are getting more arthritic every day.......

    Early onset arthritis, degenerative disc disease and some kind of un-diagnosed muscle cramping/pain is what has taken all that other stuff away. Modern medicine doesn't work and I don't live in a MMJ location...... :(

    This time 'round, my role is that of a nurturer and a supporter.

    Me?

    ummm-I could speak three languages by the age of five....plus I just picked up a guitar and played it.

    I was only five at the time,so I didn't realise what I'd done.

    I'd picked up a right-handed guitar played it left-handed.
    I have no idea how or why I did it,I can't remember it-it's just a story aunties and the like enjoy telling each other at weddings/funerals/bar mitzphas.

    But I've always owned at least one guitar ever since. Usually nearer a dozen.

    And the languages come in handy,trucking across Europe.

    being late

    its actually a very nice gift, if you think that from all the days at work i missed and will miss, there probably is gonna be one that is gonna be like a zombie apocalypse or stuff, which is a day that you'd rather miss and just stay at home and drink milk

    I can draw pretty good freehand. I can see flaws that others miss. I can see talents in others that they didnt know they had. I tend to be a leader of a group or get chosen to be a leader. I'm good at picking winners. I can predict things like sports, companies, products that are going to be successful.
    I think its rare someone is born with talent.

    I have two natural gifts:

    1) An innate writing and reading ability. In the second grade, I could read at a ninth grade level, for example.

    2 I'm able to understand rap lyrics the first or second time I hear them, even if the rapping is extremely fast. This one's... Pretty useless.

    1) Your reading and writing ability is indeed a fine gift...how do you use this gift? Are you in school or a job that demands the skill? :sunny:


    2) Are you sure this is a gift...from some of the rap I've figured out it sounds like it could be a curse? :devil:

    1) I'm in school, and write mediocre essays which get high marks regardless of the fact, because my "writing is beautiful".

    2) I love rap, it's definitely a gift. I also understand all of the metaphors and similes in punch-line based rap, which is pretty boss.

    A strong sense of direction (physical sense). I've never got lost, even though I should have, many times.

    I've wandered deserts and forests all over Arizona without a map or compass. I don't need landmarks, or have to retrace my steps, etc.

    I can zig zag around all day and pretty much walk a straight line to where I started from.

    Even when driving somewhere I've never been to, I will 'feel' that I'm passing it, even though I know I'm not to the exit yet because of the map. That drives me nuts sometimes. I'll have to look at the map again to be sure I didn't pass the exit, because the feeling is so strong.

    I don't know, maybe that's not a "gift", but I've always felt like it was.

    Where do you and writing want to go with each other? Will writing be a defining part of your life? Is your work really mediocre or is it your own critical view that it should be better. I also love writing yet feel much that I produce is crap...and some is crap but I have my moments.
    Just curious.
