We all have our own talents, but there's a number of things I'd like to be very good at...
ice hockey
dancing
boxing
being polyglot
drawing
swimming
maths
...
however, if there is one thing i'd like to excel at, it's the piano. i've started lessons a while ago but it's gonna be me a lot more work and time before i'm able to play my favourite song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqSulR9Fymg
so...what about you? is there one thing you wish you were excellent at?

I can't play the piano generally. I can't read music or anything like that, but I was taught how to play the first section of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata when I was 8 and I've remembered it ever since.
You wouldn't believe how many times I've pulled women with that.
Although I'd love the special ability to look at a restaurant bill without blaming the woman for "having the fucking stupidly overpriced salad, after all it's just fucking leaves and you could stand to gain a pound or two"

Dual basketball/baseball god. And Hiro Nakamura's time/space-bending power from Heroes. And the Clare's healing powers.
With the basketball stuff I'd love to be the first 6'2" white/hispanic guy to lead the league in points, dunks and rebounds. I guess there's some correlation between centuries of slavery and twitch fiber muscles. I'd use the time-bending to confuse players.
With the baseball stuff, I'd hit at least 1 or 2 home runs every game and then slash my wrists at at every post-game conference so everyone could have a blood sample. This is where the healing powers come in to play.
I'm not sure if I skimmed this post properly.

Caul - you seem to believe identity is not formed from culture. Norms and values are imbued through the processes of primary and secondary socialisation.
As an example of how your identity if formed from your culture, why not look at the sapir whorf hypothesis?
As an individual I have a tremendous amount of intra-personal information that I share with my fellow humans. We hold the same things dear, and the same actions as important.
That is culture, and that is a huge part of any person's psyche. After all, what is culture but the junk that people feel is important enough to keep around?
===
just because canada is overshadowed by its neighbor (like much of the world btw) doesn't mean it's deprived of a culture. like i said, it seems to me that you need simple comparisons to udnerstand a nation's culture.
look, i'm gonna tell you a secret, red. canadians are all inuits. that's right.

Oh, I most certainly agree with it but most Italian families are extremely proud of their heritage and there's a bit of sub-culture that goes along with it.

red, you seem to mistake identity with culture.
i kinda like you, but the more convos i have with you, the more convinced i am that you're not a very intelligent individual.

Caul - you seem to believe identity is not formed from culture. Norms and values are imbued through the processes of primary and secondary socialisation.
As an example of how your identity if formed from your culture, why not look at the sapir whorf hypothesis?
As an individual I have a tremendous amount of intra-personal information that I share with my fellow humans. We hold the same things dear, and the same actions as important.
That is culture, and that is a huge part of any person's psyche. After all, what is culture but the junk that people feel is important enough to keep around?
