Have you ever wanted to try something you think you'd be good at, but never had the chance?

Asked by RandomMrdan (7439points) March 7th, 2010

For example… I think I’d be really good at riding bulls for competition and sport, but have never had the chance. I’ve only tried electric bulls, and they’re pretty easy. I was able to stay on an electric bull that was on full speed for over 2 minutes.

What’s keeping you from riding a bull?
So far I’ve tried every physical activity I’ve been interested in with varying degrees of success. At least now I know I’m not a very adept archer but am pretty good at inline skating.

To play professional football at the highest level.Alas that ship has sailed, their loss.I’d also not mind making love to Angelina Jolie. Again I don’t rate my chances too high.Well, nothing wrong with dreams I suppose.

Sometimes I wonder if would be good playing baseball. Not professional baseball, but I wonder if I could have joined a team in high school. In gym classes, I was always able to hit the ball and I could put some power behind it. I figure with a bit of training, I could be pretty good. However, I’ve never pursued it and now I have no interest in baseball.

@Captain_Fantasy well I guess I’ve never tried because I don’t even know where to start… where does one find a place to ride a bull? Being supervised of course in case of any sort of accidents.

I live in Columbus, Ohio

honestly, I think I could be a pretty sly thief… but I’m not a douchebag (I think), so I don’t rob people xD

What is a meatcake?

sam111's avatar

Try it for real, you may find it is not what you expect. It is easy to say “i could be the… if…”

Vunessuh's avatar

@HungryGuy Okay! The only thing is, I don’t do the backdoor. If I did, I would be a fantastic prostitute. Hence, I can only make a great one.

I’ve always though I’d be a pretty decent evil dictator of a small island city state :-p

I think I would be a great masseuse or PT.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Vunessuh Thank you. I make a pretty mean meatloaf just never thought about frosting it.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe -You should ask fluther what kind of frosting to use ;))

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille I shouldn’t touch this but what would make you a good meatcake?

Captain_Fantasy's avatar

Sounds distinctly Irish but I think meat is more of a pie thing.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

I’ve always thought I should have raced cars or directed porn flicks. And who gave me five points for what’s a meatcake?

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe -I did!
@Captain_Fantasy -Nope,It’s a French/German/Italian thing :)
@Cruiser-A masseuse and a “pretty touchy” are the same thng.lol!

Vunessuh's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe Well, she’s not going to give you her secret recipe, silly. Unless you blow her.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Vunessuh All I wanted was a little pie. Is that too much to ask for?

Vunessuh's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe You can ask and blow, but you can’t just ask.

@lucillelucillelucille PT as in people tenderizer. My favorite tool of my trade is my work boot with Vibram Soles.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe _I would make a great meat cake because I use BBQ sauce as sunblock??
@Vunessuh-It takes more than that!
@Cruiser-Only one boot?Is that for half-off sales?

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Last time I offered the quarter along with asking I got in trouble.

Cruiser's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille No, in my the implementation of my craft I am always loosing one boot in the process.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

I’m up to 15 points on what is a meatcake?

Trillian's avatar

I think I’d be great at sailing a boat. Haven’t given up on the idea that I may get the chance someday.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe -It is up there with “What is the meaning of life?”

Trillian's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Ooooo oooo I know this one! 42!~

Blondesjon's avatar

Yeah. I always wanted to give being skinny with a huge cock a shot.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

Diving. I am an excellent swimmer, but I have never dived before (eg., platform, springboard diving). I think I’d be great at that too, and not just because I look pretty good in a Speedo! Lol.

Trillian's avatar

@MRSHINYSHOES Speedo? Eeewwwww. In Italy, go to any beach. All the men wear speedo’s. They all seem to be two sizes too small, and they all loook like they have potatoes stuffed down the front.
Small potatoes.
Mommy doesn’t like small potatoes.

thriftymaid's avatar

I think most people have at least once experienced that. Think about musical talent as an example.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@Trillian—-Yes Speedos. I swim competitively, and Speedos are the only swimwear that gives me the edge in the water without dragging me down with the weight of “shorts-type” swimwear. You can’t race in those. Too heavy. The only other alternative is bare-skin, but then I’m afraid you’ll say “ewwwww” even more! Lol.

Trillian's avatar

@MRSHINYSHOES Hehehehe. I’ve got a visual. Your point!

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@Trillian Hey don’t knock until you’ve tried it——swimming in the nude. It’s great! I do it with my family at a lake every summer, far from the city. Lol.

Trillian's avatar

@MRSHINYSHOES The closest I came was the topless beaches in Italy. I didn’t really mind it, but I hate sand.
Also, the German tourists took everything off when they were changing. Or at least, I was informed that they were German. The potatoes were bigger….;-)
