I wish...
I wish I could sing in tune. I was driving with the windows down, radio blaring and I'm singing my lungs out to a Coldplay song. When I turn the volume down a bit, I'm aware how bad I really sound. I mean, I could make a living by threatening to sing to someone. "Pay me $20 now or else I'll sing to you." Pigs squealing and long wet farts sound better than my singing. There's no way I could serenade anyone. Well - maybe a drunk moose might pay attention to me.
I wish I could play the guitar or the piano. It would automatically enhance my image of being artsy, romantic and cultured. I can play do re mi with one finger on a piano. Unfortunately I usually get a one finger response for my efforts. But I really think guys that tickle the keyboards or play the guitar are just so cool.
I wish I could dance instead of madly flailing around like someone in a satanic cult ritual. When I hear a song I like I would start to "dance". I am sure if I went on stage to do a sexy dance, I would have to pump my audience full of viagra first. I wouldn't know what to do with the female members of my audience. Maybe I could dance and read 50 Shades of Grey at the same time.
I wish I could blog daily and include videos. I'm thinking of Chris specifically whose videos are well edited, written and filmed. I'm sure it takes a lot of effort just to pull together a few minutes of video. Bravo Chris... take a bow.
I wish I could fight. I can do a mean scowl when I'm walking around at night. But I'm like this small annoying dog that barks very loud but has no bite. Maybe if I'm attacked I'll do a dance, sing to them and bite them.

I was never able to tell I was a bad singer. It took others telling me.
Make your wishes come true. ^_^ Take classes, learn on the internet, or just put yourself in a situation where you have to learn. I didn't learn to play piano until I went out and invested $400 in a keyboard in order to force myself to play
OK, now make the list of all the stuff you are awesome at, to balance this out!
Oh, thank you for the props. The flip side, though, is you wonder what more productive things I don't accomplish because I'm spending hours editing my videos.
unfortunately i'm not a genie that can grant wishes
Your wishes are granted --oh wait a minute I can't do that but you can
I wish I was as funny a writer as you. I laughed so many times through just this one post. You're so clever and funny!!
@MillySonka - I agree, (almost) anything is possible if you set your heart to it.
"great souls have wills, feeble ones only have wishes" - Chinese proverb
You are good in writing, your blog entries are full of passion, emotion, and touch lots of our hearts here....
No matter man, you are capable of a ton of other things. And for the record, I thought you said "I wish I could play the guitar on the piano." I was like... umm... huh?! =D But I think your post is serving as an inspiration for my next one. =)

#1 & 3 - if only you were Filipino...hehe
#2 - you're not alone...but there are other things our hands can do great. lol
#4 - YOU CAN DO THAT IF YOU WANT...hehe
#5 - I'm pretty sure you can fight.
Ahaha!! I wish all of these things too! - Well except for the last one. I'm a lover, not a fighter! ;)
What is important is that you enjoy signing along with your fav tunes. I think a large majority of us do not have a singing voice, and my singing voice woul dmake dogs howl for miles, but me and the band Heart, Adele and Pink sing together all of the way down the free way into the city.
We all need to look at what we can do and not what we can"t:) I have to rememebr this on a daily basis and it does work to keep me upbeat and enjoying life.hahaha at least you post something, even if they aren't videos!
even though you can't do any of those things, you are nonetheless a very witty and humorous person (at least in text)... and that takes talent!
right before passing out on the couch.
So, in other words, you're an actor. Only actors say things like that. They act because they can't sing, or dance, or fight. Then they go to an audition where they have to do those things, and they throw a fit in the middle of the audition and walk out. I've seen that happen wayyyyyy too many times.
I wish I was a little but taller...I wish I was a baller! haha
YOu have fantastical writing skills. I wish I could write blogs better. =\
My question is....
Why viagra?
HA HA HA HA HA
LOL
I was just singing coldplay and I read your entry.
I then proceeded to turn down the volume needless to say, although I was singing paradise, it sure sounded like hell.
@ANVRSADDAY - I don't know if you meant that to be funny, but my man. I'm laughing hard.
@DonnieMnemonic - I have been accused of having a weird sense of humor.
