does anyone here consider themselves talented in other things, any other hobbies etc.?

I have spent much of my time juggling before picking up the guitar, and got pretty good at that, I also can solve a Rubiks cube in under 2 mins (not quite as fast as those guys on youtube tongue.gif )

oh yeah, and im pretty good at Halo on xbox (i'm not sure if that counts lol)

anyone else pour their freetime into hobbies other than guitar??

Oh, other talents. I wish I had any, at least I'm hoping to be decent when it comes to the guitar in a few years, but then that will be my only talent.

Except, I kicked ass at F-Zero GX for gamecube back in the days, but that's the only thing I've ever been good at. So I'm not even good at video games laugh.gif

My other hobby at the moment is the gym. I wish I could play guitar for the same amount of time I'm in the gym. I've made the commentment to be healthy so at the moment that's my main focus. I work out about 4-7 days a week - lifting weights usually 4-5 days out of the week and cardio 1-2 days.

I use to play a lot of video games (beat Halo 3 on Legendary), but not so much anymore. I have a PS3 that does nothing, but function as a DVD player. = /

I'm a self proclaimed professional "love machine"





no




I use to do a lot of acting and visual arts performance, and was this close to making it a profession (some people still want to see me do that) but after a while I realized that it didn't make me very happy, and that I only did it because the applaus gave me some form of self validation.

Then I went into writing/spoken word performance. I got good at it, and then I started getting cocky and the quality of my work took a dive. When I realized this I got obsessed with putting out top quality pieces that I ended up not turning in anything a lot of the time due to excessive self editing. Back then, I felt like I had something to prove to the world instead of writing for the sake of writing. Some things never change.

These two things culminated into helping me with guitar actually. I'm comfortable with all the attention I get onstage (even when I mess up) and songwriting came to me a little easier than most I think. Despite all this, I'm still quite the lackluster guitar player wink.gif

I used to spend all my time on swimming some years back (quit 2 years ago).
In my early teenage years I was #1 (from my age group in my country) at the freestyle sprint distances, and well-ranked at nearly every other swimmingstyle/distance..
Participated in many international competitions, but missed the European Youth Olympic Festival (the olympic games for youngsters) due to a foot injuri sad.gif

I had alot of great experiences, but eventually I got tired of all the time I had to spend doing physically tough training (up to 5 hours a day), I felt like I was missing out stuff in life and that made me quit.

AHH!

Im so jealous!


LEt me ask you a question...

What method do you use?

cuz i just use a heavily modified version of the method that comes with the cube (the little book that came mine at least)

I solve the first layer and work down...

do you do that or do you build out from a corner??

That sucks sad.gif

I'm just thinking of giving them up because they, combined with work, take up so much time that it's hard to get enough guitar in.
